I started with Cocaine then Partied hard until I saw Jesus and Hell - Codie's Testimony
What Researchers Found
The Story
Cody was a 30-year-old former drug addict and criminal who grew up in a strict Christian home but rebelled into addictions. The NDE happened while he prayed alone on his couch for God to help him love people like Jesus. He left his body completely and found himself in hell, standing on a rocky cliff overlooking a wide, long river of magma. He saw millions of faceless, emaciated, gray souls packed shoulder to shoulder, swimming over each other in the river. They screamed high-pitched cries while crying, crawling, and searching for escape. He observed without feeling pain or heat. He returned to his body and wept for hours, feeling God's deep love for each lost soul. After the NDE, Cody's hardened heart softened. He fully surrendered to God, quit addictions, married a Christian woman, started a family, and began preaching the gospel online and in churches to warn others and lead them to Christ.

This testimony describes visionary and dream-based spiritual experiences, including a self-reported out-of-body trip to hell during prayer, but contains no veridical perceptions of real-world events that could be independently verified. There are no claims of observing impossible physical details, conversations, or objects during unconsciousness from ODs or any medical crisis, rendering all experiences subjective and non-evidential.
Score reflects verifiable perceptions reported. A low score indicates the experience was primarily spiritual or subjective, not that it didn't occur.
