Dr. Eben Alexander, Harvard Professor of Neuroscience, had an out-of-body experience and now believes that heaven and afterlife are real.

There have been many NDE reports that are usually dismissed as false, but something about a Harvard Professor of Neuroscience having a NDE makes you think twice.
