Beware This Fake Hellish Near Death Experiences!
What Researchers Found
The Story
The experiencer, Angela, had a near-death experience (NDE) triggered by a health crisis. During her experience, she felt herself leave her body and observed her husband and mother praying for her. She then entered a dark void, feeling intense fear and hopelessness. Angela reported seeing herself walking through hell, where she encountered groups of people, including the LGBTQ community and Muslims. After calling for Jesus to save her, she was taken to a beautiful place where she met her deceased aunts. Angela felt she was given a message to return and warn others about being 'lukewarm' in their faith. After the experience, she embraced Christianity and felt a strong purpose to share her message.
