I had the experience whilst being under hypnosis and your comment > it's the most fucked up experience of my life

describes it very well. I was so freaked out by the thought of not getting back into my body, I panicked and woke my self up.

I believe/ heard that it can can recreated at will

In my experience on psychedelics, I was observing myself freaking out in third person from a calm conscious perspective. I remember asking and thinking to myself that it was strange and funny that I was freaking out because this is all just temporary.

(freaking out might be a strong term, but my heart was racing, I was breathing heavily, shaking/shivering, etc, but still laying relatively still)

So to me the weirdest thing about an out of body experience was that I could observe my brain in a similar way to how I observe my hand right now. I can move my fingers around, and the hand is definitely part of me, but my hand does not feel conscious. So when having this experience it felt like my consciousness moved out of my head to the room and that I was observing how my head was processing thoughts while still being somewhat in control of those thoughts.

that's sounds awesome, much better than my experience.

I genuinely believed at the time my mind would not be able to go back and I'd die or go brain dead (no psychedelics or drugs taken)
