How Do You Explain "Near Death Experiences"?

I don't mean far out there claims that cannot be proven... (e.g. I floated on an Amber Bubble to Kingdom Hall and God said "You aren't done" and I went back into my body).

I'm talking about people who saw themselves on an operating table, and can describe tools the doctors used, conversations they had, how people were operating on their body. 

You know, stuff like that. How can it be explained? 

Strange stuff happens in the mind all the time.

The person could have been shown the operating room they were in after the event and co-opted the memories as if they happened during the operation. Revisionist history.

I'm not saying they're lying. They believe it wholeheartedly! They're just going trough something that is SO powerful to them that they're co-opting all sort of things in their minds and creating a more rational story, in retrospect, than that they're crazy, which they're not.

Deja vu; remembering things incorrectly but swearing on your life that it happened like that because you've heard the story so many times; the mind tricking itself as a defense mechanism; etc. Stuff like that happens all the time.

In the unabomber case there was a police sketch that became the most famous and iconic police sketch in serial killer history. Turns out the person who was interviewed was just describing the guy who was DOING the sketch. She swore that's what she saw, but she was actually remembering something else entirely.

Eye witnesses get shit wrong all the time. Describing a suspect as wearing a red shit, when it fact his shirt was white, its just that he got in a red car. It happens.
