Two of the best accounts are:
Dr. Mary Neal, a spinal surgeon in Jackson Hole Wyoming.
Anita Moorjani who was in hospital hospice with cancer. She died and came back cured.
... I have several physician friends who had an NDE. Changed them
I’ve met 37 NDE people
2 things were true of all of them
The were never again afraid of dying
The came back... changed, gentler, kinder
I have a friend who was in a terrible accident and went to heaven briefly and then back to her body. She says that in the years since she has total strangers who have had similar experiences approach her asking if she has been to heaven. She will be pumping gas, shopping at Walmart, etc.
and someone will come up to her and ask and then state that they have been to heaven too.
"To blave..."
An excellent account for the unbeliever if by Dr Jim Tucker, a child psychiatrist at University of Virginia Medical School at Charlottesville.
He is chair of the dept of perceptual studies.
He researched and documented a young boy of a Christian family that remembered his death as a Corsair pilot over Okinawa during a WWII battle. Very well documented.

This sounds a little like people who think their weird dreams are proof of reincarnation and “past lives.”
Pascal put that into a probability equation 350 years ago.
I remember a story about an unbeliever who was asked "If you are right and God does not exist, but you live a Godly life, what have you lost? But if He does exist and you have lived an ungodly life, what have you lost?"
I have had six visitations from people who are now in the afterlife.
Well, people vote after death, don’t they?
He was adopted and met his biological parents sometime after the NDE. A biological sibling who had passed away years before the NDE was there to guide him. He had written a very detailed description of how she looked during the NDE before he saw her photo for the first time, even comparing it with an artist sketch he had made for the draft of the book. There were just too many parallels like that to dismiss it as an "ego rescue experience."
There is a place called the Faber Institute in rural Virginia which has done extensive research on the matter and has an extensive library on the topic, including research from people around the world. Strangely, one of their largest groups of contributors are the Japanese, almost none of whom come from a Christian or even religious tradition.
I’ll bet if they could they would vote Republican.
I know it immediately when a person has gone to Heaven and returned. I experience the bliss of their experience just by standing in the stored memory of the experience in their soul. It is pure bliss.
Frequently, my stimulating their memory causes them to re experience the event and they start crying with joy.
This happens when two strangers meet and not a word is spoken.
Because of the high level of Heaven and the related time distortion, the memory is always in the present and re experienced when you recall the memory.
Fortunately, I have never had a NDE myself. When my previous cat suffered from bone marrow cancer, her body’s cells were starving for sufficient oxygen, as she wasn’t making any new red blood cells, which carry the oxygen. I picked her up when I got home from teaching, and tried to give her the soft prescription food my vet had given me to feed her. She didn’t want the food, spat it out as she struggled in my arms, and then suddenly, just like a light switch, she was gone. I was horrified that I had killed my cat. I laid her very tenderly on my bed within seconds and stroked her gently with all the love I could muster. I would like to think that she heard me tell her I loved her, and what a good girl she was. The slight struggle about the food, my vet explained later, increased her oxygen needs beyond what could be delivered by her scarcity of red cells. I don’t think she suffered at all, but I have been plagued ever since whether her last thought of me was the brief struggle over getting the food into her or being loved on while laid on the bed.
“I’ll bet if they could they would vote Republican.”
And be PRO LIFE
Suppose there are 2, or even more, “somethings”, and you go the wrong way.
I was dead before I was conceived, so that’s proof that there is life after death.
