Bryan's NDE (Near Death Experience) In HELL and How He Returned
What Researchers Found
The Story
Brian Jackson, a 33-year-old man from Alabama struggling with alcohol addiction and depression, had his NDE on March 5, 1993. After rehab, he lost the will to live, returned to a hotel room, and lay in bed where his spirit quit functioning. During the NDE, he entered a dark void like hell, filled with loud noise covering all frequencies, and total absence of light, joy, peace, or God. He felt trapped forever and uncaring about it. Then, he prayed to God for help. The noise stopped, the room light turned on, and a still small voice instructed him to see Wayne, the hotel owner. Wayne read from his father's Bible, and the words confirmed Brian's experience and future path. After the NDE, Brian stopped running from God and pursued faith. He married for 43 years, works driving a bus at a Florida theme park, and lives happily. He shares his story at IANDS, lost fear of death, and empathizes with struggling people, helping them seek hope.
