Is the Series Real or Fake?

There are scientists and researchers who come in to examine the stories told on Surviving Death, like Mary Neal’s near death experience where she claims she was dead for 30 minutes underwater, and in that time, “she felt her spirit peel away from her body and travel up to a brilliantly colorful, flowery ‘heaven’ where time and space shifted.” However, these scientists seem to be skewed toward believing that the afterlife could be a possibility, and offer no concrete, physical, or scientific evidence that it’s more than fake.

Some Reddit users were skeptical of Surviving Death from the get go. One poster claims that Mary Neal’s story, while it may have felt like a half hour to her, was probably only five minutes, but there are no facts to debunk Mary’s perspective. Another user conflates Surviving Death to fake UFO conspiracy theories, asking why there is no evidence of a UFO if everyone has a camera? Even a blogger for 106.5 The End radio, who says she is a genuine believer in some aspects of the afterlife, agrees that it’s hard to believe that “physical mediumship” is anything but fake.
