Actually, very few people have an unhealthy amount of skepticism. Have you spoken to average people? Most people believe in God, believe in the soul, believe in life after death, believe in ghosts, etc...
At first I used to think like you. I thought that when I experienced OBEs, that people would think I was crazy. That I was the minority - that I was the strange one. When I finally got the balls to actually TALK to people and find out if my assumption was true, I was shocked to find people readily around me that have experienced things far stranger than I have.

No they wouldn't. If Erin provided "proof", then you (or some other skeptic) would invent another, more strict, critera. The reason this happens is because you do not have HEALTHY skepticism. You have obsessive skepticism. No matter how much proof you witness, you will still demand more. No matter how much proof is shown to you, you will ignore it.
How do I know this?
BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY PROVEN OBEs.
People have already gone through all these tests. All these experiments. All these things you demand of Erin - people have already done! And more! And the results are in - OBEs are real. But you don't know about any of that evidence. Why not? Because your mind is not searching for evidence, like you claim. Your mind is searching for a way to perpetuate it's obsessive skepticism.
Sorry if this post comes off as rude.
