A couple I worked with were in a head on car crash and were off work for months recovering. When I chatted to them when they returned to work, I asked what it was like. They both said it was very strange and said they weren't 'there' at the point of impact, they knew the crash couldn't be avoided but they were above the two cars watching the crash happen and watching themselves be thrown about. They then don't recall anything else until they woke up in hospital. All of us were puzzled by it and had no answers. Then, perhaps from the 90s onwards, people did come forward with similar incidents.
NDE's are interesting, but they don't seem to be paranormal. People don't come back with information they couldn't otherwise obtain, or with surprising religious experiences. They have NDE's everywhere, and in India, for instance, people often have experiences confirming their Hindu beliefs.
