I'm lazy.
I’m wondering if there are any reports of the opposite, falling into Dante’s Inferno?
Ask Keith O. of MSNBC. Many of his facial expressions indicate he is residing there now!
I believe there are.
The one which springs to mind immediately is this guy named Howard Storm.
There may well be others and perhaps someone will enlighten us.
There are. I'm a recovering alcoholic and have spent a lot of time talking/listening to recovering addicts of much harder drugs. Many of them have described chillingly similar visions of hell and demonic beings. Certainly it's easy to write these off as hallucinogenic byproducts of their addictions, but the similarities between their accounts coupled with the sincerity and fear in their eyes when relating their accounts suggest to me that it's something more.
If I’m not mistaken, when Bill Clinton had his heart attack several years ago, he described something that sounded like it may have been something like that. It wasn’t described as a “near death” experience, but that’s what it sounded like to me, only in reverse.
For some reason, there never seems to be any reports of people going to the bad place, and coming back to tell of it, like there are of people seeing the light and coming back...maybe there is no bad place?
There was one on FR about a week ago. Long story short: the once-agnostic Doctor who brought this heart-patient back from a completely horrifying vision of hell is now a Christian.
Another person who went to Hell that comes to mind was Faith Movement pastor Kenneth Hagin Sr. “Pop” Hagin also wrote a booklet called “I went to Hell” where he described the experience.
I’ve seen such reports mentioned, but never found them myself. According to the summary I read, there are people whose NDE involved something so truly horrifying that they only remember it for a short time. A day or 2 later, they’d insist they experienced nothing, remembered nothing.
Once when I was a teenager I had a dream about Hell. I remember the fact that I saw it, but I don’t remember the details of what I saw. And to be honest, I never want to.
