I saw things as slightly different in my home. My conjecture is that there are dimensions, planes, levels, whatever (and they have been given various names, i.e. “locale”). When we leave our physical existence, the reality we experience is not exactly the same and shouldn’t be expected to be. Calling it an imprint, echo, etc. sort of diminishes the value of that world in its own right. At any rate, all these many attempts at trying to force the OBE to be in our physical reality are moot. How to proceed with scientific experiments is a conundrum. OBE’s, I read, have been reliably induced by applying electrical current to part of the brain (temporal/parietal?), but the results were just of hovering above the physical body, not in going out gallavanting, as travelers like to do. The results were similar to, and somewhat condescendingly compared to, the “rubber hand” experiments. At the risk of getting all Frankenstein, maybe stronger current could be applied? If we could get some of the skeptical scientists to train to do OBEs, that might help. Then you could say, but Susan Blackmore is an OBE veteran and now thinks it is BS. Don’t know enough about her experience...I have listened to a number of her lectures on YouTube, and she talks about her first experience lasting two days, but I have not heard her talk about repeated intentional travels. Maybe you have addressed this somewhere? Also, listening to her history, she had embraced the whole ball of wax, from crystal power to hauntings, all the New Age bells and whistles. Then, perhaps the baby went out with the bath water (you might say literally, since her moment of truth that it was all BS occurred to her while soaking in a hot tub). Don’t know if I’m making my point...
