This is from Unsolved Mysteries, a re-creation.  It has been shown in re-runs numerous times. I was a Pediatric Fellow working in Critical Care Medicine.  I trained at Johns Hopkins and had no particular interest in Near Death Experiences until I resuscitated this girl.

This was my first appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show.  Three of my patients are presented, Krystal, Michelle, and Wes Chandler.  Actually Wes is not one of my patients, just a good friend.  This is the most complete account of Krystal's story I am aware of.  Michelle describes floating out of her body, but doesn't get a chance to tell the best part of her story, which is that she was then given a choice to return to life, by "three doctors" dressed in white.  I asked her "how did you know that they were doctors?".  She replied, "because they were 14 feet tall and had light bulbs in their bodies!".  Probably a more religious child would have called them angels. 

We had to stick a needle in this young girl's heart and inject medications to restart it. That's "near death" by any criteria.  She tells a halting powerful experience that she is clearly struggling to understand.  Years later she tells Rolling Stone Magazine "I was never so alive as that time I was dead.

This three year old boy nearly died when his parents' car flipped over a side rail and fell into a river.  He was underwater for 45 minutes.  He said he went into a huge noodle, then said "no it must of been a tunnel as noodles don't have rainbows in them."

I have recently been contacted by Chris's mother (May 2011) Here is what she had to share with me: Patti. No, Chris is not a NASCAR racer, but he does participate in death defying sports. If he's not busy flying through the air upside down while freestyle skiing, then he's participating in Mixed Martial Arts. Several years ago I told him that I could not watch his competitions anymore, it's just too scary. He has grown into a kind and generous man and does volunteer work with "at-risk" youth. Dr. Morse, thank you for preserving this video! " 

This is an extraordinary Stone Phillips Interview.  20/20 Managed to Interview Three Children as the exact moment they were entered into my study. You will hear them describe their experiences for the very first time.

This young girl has a long history of migraine headaches, in which she has both tunnel vision and sees flashing lights.  She also nearly died and had a near death experience.  She has no trouble telling the difference between these experiences.  I often hear various Neurologists and Neuroscientists speculate that the Near Death Experience might in fact simply be this sort of phenomena.  Listen to her and you decide.

Those who do controlled remote viewing will recognize this process. I am convinced the tunnel is the "aperture".  She is now at Stage 3 where the aperture has opened.  Note that she starts with primary colors, then they come to represent objects.  She has an AI, and draws a schematic S3 type sketch.  Fortunately for her, she does not proceed into "Stage 4 and beyond" in terms of her near death experience.

The weirdly fascinating drawings that young kids did after they had experienced near-death experiences. There is a haunting and eerie familiarity about them, and yet in some ways they avoid the stereotypes NDEs often contain.

No Children are actually shown in this video.

Australian 20/20 Show with Dr. Morse.  They present several near death experiences in children.

This three year old boy described his near death experience when he was nine months old.  Here's how he came to tell his parents about his experience.  They took him, at age three, to a Christmas Pagent play, where someone played the part of Jesus.  He started having a fit, screaming, "that's not my Jesus, that's not my Jesus".  He then proceeded to tell his parents of meeting "Jesus" when he nearly died at nine months of age.

He acurately described many details of his hospitalization when he was nine months old, including that his mother and grandfather were hugging each other in the lobby waiting room while he was being resuscitated.  Their meeting and hugging was such an odd event that he could not have guessed it would happen.

This young girl nearly died of a diabetic coma.  Once again, her experience is not a coherent story, but powerful fragments which are odd, difficult to understand.  Yet the basic experience is there, re-interpreted through the eyes of a non-religious 10 year old.

If you doubt that the media and culture shapes these experiences, watch this video carefully.  You can hear the disapproval in the Talk Show Host's voice because she DOESN'T describe a tunnel or a bright loving light coming to greet her.

This is raw uncut video footage of our interviews with children who survived cardiac arrest.  You can hardly hear the young girl.  Her picture is amazing.  I include this video so you can see my interview style.  Specifically she is not asked leading questions, she is not pressured to say anything, I repeatedly use phrases such as "tell me about this", "what happened next" and "was he tall or short" type questions.

One of the earliest interviews with Crystal, the definitive case of a near death experience.  She refutes everything the skeptics have to say about these experiences.  For example, I recently heard Super Skeptic Susan Blackmore say that she would change her mind and admit that near death experiences are real, if only there was proof that the experiences happened while the patient was in coma.

Well, Crystal accurately reported minor conversations, trivial aspects of her own resuscitation while she was in coma.  Also she had her eyes taped closed.  As usual, whenever the so-called Skeptics are confronted with an answer to their objections, they ignore it.

I like this video because it calls me "the straightest of the straight" physicians, winning awards for my work as a Neuroscientist.

Teenager describes having a near death experience when he was nine months old.  He told his parents about it when he was three years old.  They were are a Christmas Pageant.  When the "Jesus" came on the stage, Mark started crying and saying "that's not my Jesus."  When in "Heaven", he could "run and double jump with God".

You will understand why I study children's near death experiences. They are such sacred experiences for them that they don't really change over the years, they are very protective of them.  Her experience is extraordinary.  She then goes on to describe the classic aftereffects of the child's near death experience.  They can't wear watches as they are always malfunctioning.  And they have dreams that come true, their psychic abilities are heightened.

Doesn't get much more moving than this. A Mother describes how her daughter was frightened to talk about her near death experience and finally was able to discuss it.  Her daughter now counsels other children who have had such experiences or are going to die.
