Does anyone know of a religion that actually practices out--of-body experiences?

I remember many, many years ago, I would watch this group of people from my window and they would wear white robes and attend some type of religious service. By the time, I got to know one of the women it the group, the pastor had married one of the women of the church and moved to another city and the church was disbanned. When I asked about he religion, the woman, who became my best friend, explained to me that the minister would take them into one of the rooms, after the service (Not alone, no funny business, well actually there was some funny business going on here.) and they would lie on a table and he would put them into a trance and they would step out of there bodies and travel. Through fields and flowers and peaceful types of experiences. But, she said that after she started participating in these experiences, she started having visits from demonic figures (who she considered to be satan) and experiencing bad dreams and visions. I tried to get some other women to tell me more about, but none of them would talk about it. Years later, I tried to ask her about it again and she became very frighten and refused to talk about it. Obviously, she wants to bury the memory. Have you every heard of this?
