Can experiences near death furnish evidence of life after death?

Most people who have a near-death experience (NDE) say that the experience convinced them that they will survive death. People who have not had such a n experience, however, may not share this conviction. Although all features of NDEs, when looked at alone, might be explained in ways other than survi val, there are three features in particular that we believe suggest the pos sibility of survival, especially when they all occur in the same experience . These features are: enhanced mental processes at a time when physiologica l functioning is seriously impaired; the experience of being out of the bod y and viewing events going on around it as from a position above; and the a wareness of remote events not accessible to the person's ordinary senses. W e briefly report one such case, and we also briefly describe two additional such cases in which the remote events apparently seen were verified by oth er persons.
