OBE Survey Report Part 1 Introduction

OBE Internet Survey

OBE Survey Report

Part 1 – Introduction

This report is a summary of 50,347 Out of Body Experiences. Most of these accounts were posted on various websites on the internet. The information from these accounts are organized in four sections.
   The first section (Part 2) is location. These are the superphysical places that were reported or described during the out of body experience (OBE).
   The second section (Part 3) is familiar physical or discarnate person(s) who were encountered or seen during the OBE.
   The third section (Part 4) is any unfamiliar persons or beings that were encountered or seen during an OBE.
   The fourth section (Part 5 through Part 7 and Miscellaneous Notes are the notes describing both the frequency and the type of various phenomena reported by people while they were out of body (OOB).
This is an appropriate point to comment on the veracity of these OBE accounts. Certainly not all of the OBE (or NDE) reports are accurate. Some accounts of OBEs are undoubtedly faulty, a result of misperceptions or confusion or distorted senses. A few other reports are frauds and hoaxes (usually adolescents posting false reports on the internet to impress other adolescents). This caveat being noted I strongly believe that the vast majority of these OBE accounts are true and valid.
