Is there life after death? Some of the most compelling evidence of a posthumous existence comes from people who’ve clinically died—or nearly so. This is what’s known as a “near-death experience,” or NDE. As they step toward whatever lies beyond this life, their out-of-body travels take them to an unnameable destination where they are met with a variety of remarkable encounters. These are some of their stories. Whether you believe they’re absolute proof of life after death is strictly up to you....
