Kelly Ashford: From Hell to Heaven and Back
What Researchers Found
The Story
Kelly Ashford was a mother with lupus living in Colorado. In 2008, after moving into a haunted rental house, a demonic voice lured her to drive into Rocky Mountain National Park. She got her car stuck in a ditch and wandered lost for 11 days without food, water, or proper clothing, starving and freezing in the wilderness. During her near-death state, she fell into a dungeon with rats and screams, saw a lake of fire where demons tortured burning souls, witnessed endless rapes by grotesque demons, and endured a painful life review with whipping while reliving sins and seeing loved ones. She then entered a tunnel to a glowing heaven with angels and music, met God in a throne room, viewed a hologram of Earth's future disasters like wars and apocalypses, and learned humanity must choose God and Jesus for salvation through love and forgiveness. Guided by animals and her grandmother's vision, she crossed an abyss back to earth. Rescued on day 11, she recovered from severe injuries using energy healing. Afterward, she gained unbreakable faith, wrote the book 'Endurance' to share her message, and committed to helping others avoid similar dangers and embrace spiritual truth.

This account features no veridical perception claims, such as observing real-world events from impossible vantage points or details later verified. It consists entirely of internal visionary experiences (hell, heaven, life review) during physical exhaustion and delirium from 11 days lost in the wilderness, with intermittent blackouts but no clinical death or corroborated external perceptions.
Score reflects verifiable perceptions reported. A low score indicates the experience was primarily spiritual or subjective, not that it didn't occur.
Score reflects transformation as described. Domains scored 0 indicate the topic was not discussed, not that no change occurred.
