  The canonical compilation of these anecdotes is "The Self Does Not Die": https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Self_Does_Not_Die.html?id=LBCbDAEACAAJ https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Self_Does_Not_Die.h... There are a few stories in it that left me raising my eyebrows and going "well, that seems improbable." I've not found any I couldn't construct a reductionist dismissal for (usually of the form "confirmation bias - someone had to eventually have the hallucination that corresponded with reality and we don't hear about the failures" or "the witnesses memories are incorrect"), but that doesn't mean I find the dismissals entirely plausible or fully convincing.
