When a colleague tells Dr. Raymond Moody about witnessing first-hand a death experience with her mother, the author sets out to learn more about shared death experiences. Dr. Moody, who coined the term "near death experience," writes that while skeptics might scoff at a near-death vision experienced by one person, it's not so easy to pass off an experience where one or more individuals witness the same thing. The author tells us that shared death experiences might just offer a level of proof that a heavenly plane exists.
