Incidence of near-death and intense spiritual experiences were determined for a sample of 305 persons ranging in age from seventeen to eighty-five. Near-death experiences were reported by 28 per cent, and intense spiritual experiences by 34 per cent. Incidence of near-death reports did not vary significantly by age of respondents, but elderly respondents were significantly less likely to report intense spiritual experiences. Persons who reported a near-death experience were significantly more likely to report an intense spiritual experience as well. Probable causes for the relative infrequent reports of near-death and intense spiritual experiences among elderly respondents are explored, as well as reasons for association found between these types of experiences for the entire sample
