I was going to write something about near-death experiences, but then I realised I didn't really have anything to say.
It's the interpretation of such experiences which can lead to dubious claims of supernatural phenomena for which there is no other evidence. It's certainly comforting to think that when we die our consciousness will carry on in some harmonious and pleasant spiritual afterworld containing loved ones. That thinking can easily lead people to interpret neurophysiological phenomena as being something else. But just because it's comforting doesn't mean it's true.
