Pollster George Gallup, Jr., found that eight million adults in the United States have had an NDE (Near Death Experience). That equals one person in twenty.
He was further able to analyze the content of the NDEs by polling for their elements. Here is what he found:
ELEMENT PERCENT
Out of body 26
Accurate visual perception 23
Audible sounds or voices 17
Feelings of peace, painlessness 32
Light phenomena 14
Life review 32
Being in another world 32
Encountering other beings 23
Tunnel experience 9
Precognition 6
Such a poll clearly showed that NDEs are much more common in society than any of the NDE researchers ever thought.
