Near-Death Experiences (NDE) : Investigating an enigma

As you know, at Temps Présent we keep our feet firmly on the ground and we are at ease with confronting facts and reality. This is why it was not easy for us to make the reportage we are showing you tonight. It’s about life and death, conscience and unconscious. The stories you will hear will disturb you, like they disturbed us.

The people who are telling the stories actually lived them and are called “experiencers”. There are hundreds of thousands of them across the world, and it’s very likely that you even have some of them in your own surrounding. The experience they had is called near-death experience. Victims of heart attack, stroke, sometimes long coma, they all survived, some even say they were resuscitated. Sometimes declared clinically dead, like Patricia whom you will hear in this reportage, they came back to life and told their story. They all talk about decorporation, warmth, love and light, encounters with the dead and many other things.

These extraordinary stories are as old as time. Myriam Gazut and Olga Baillif decided to make this reportage, because scientists now take near-death experience very seriously. The theories, though, that could explain it, have not delivered any concrete results. The mystery remains.

You’ve heard it, most people going through near-death experience return deeply transformed. Some even claim to have developed qualities that could be described as paranormal: healing capacities, talking to the dead or over developed intuition. If you enjoyed this episode, please note that we will broadcast a second one, shorter, next week, about the amazing capacities of these experiencers.
