To learn more about the afterlife and draw your own conclusions about the likelihood of its existence, we offer you some eerie, but incredibly interesting stories from people who have suffered clinical death.
Have you ever thought about what awaits us after death? Is there an afterlife at all, does Heaven and Hell exist, does reincarnation take place, or does our soul disappear forever along with the body? You can argue on this score endlessly, but there are people among us who have suffered clinical death, which means that they were on the other side of life for some time.
1. My soul is on the ceiling
This is a very entertaining story of a 50-year-old man from France. “I had a myocardial infarction. I remember only severe chest pain and the screams of people around. Then the pain went away, and I, suddenly opening my eyes, saw myself from the side. I was hanging from the ceiling and watched as my body lay on the table, and the doctors were bending over it. They fussed, talked among themselves, shouted something to each other. I did not hear the words, there was absolute silence, there was calmness and some kind of indifference to everything that was happening.
Suddenly a window opened in the ceiling. Through it I saw crowds of moving people, all of them gold, alive, but as if cast from gold. I tried to make out familiar faces in the crowd, tried to talk to those passing by, but they did not answer me. And then I felt myself gently sink down and sink into my own body. I came to my senses. After this event, it became obvious to me that our body is just a shell."
2. Flight to paradise

And this is the story of a Russian pensioner who found himself in a similar situation. “I suddenly felt bad. My son and daughter-in-law dragged me home and put me on the bed. My whole body ached, blood gushed out of my mouth and I began to choke. But in an instant everything stopped! I suddenly saw myself from the side, and coming out of my own body, I began to be irresistibly pulled into an unusual corridor or tunnel. It was all black with stone walls, very long and narrow. At the end of it was a light that drew me to it. And I swam towards this light, slowly at first, then accelerated so that my limbs went cold.
It flew for a long time, and finally flew out of the tunnel, hitting the dome with the brightest light. Around there was another, some kind of fabulous world, with tropical trees and exotic birds. It was as if I was pulled forward to a huge waterfall. I went up to him and noticed a small well-kept house nearby. I found my father in the house, who died several years ago. There was no surprise, as if I knew that everything should be like this. My father came up to me and said: “Come back! Your time has not come yet! Literally after his words, I woke up, opened my eyes and noticed the doctors standing nearby.
3. Became a cloud
Not all patients like to remember their own "flights" to another world. One such case is described by the spouse of a patient who has been in the afterlife. “Yuri fell from a great height and for a week was in a state of clinical death due to a severe blow to his head. Visiting her husband on a daily basis, connected to a respirator, the burned out wife lost her keys to the house.
But Yuri survived! And the first thing he asked his wife when he regained consciousness was: "Did you find the keys?" And looking into her puzzled eyes, he continued: "They are under the stairs!" How he could find out about the loss of the keys and how he knew where they fell out, the man explained later. It turns out that during his clinical death, his soul left his body and became a cloud. He saw every step of his wife, no matter where she was. Moreover, he visited the place where the souls of his deceased relatives - his mother and older brother - were buried. According to Yuri, it was his family who convinced him to return.
A year later, when Yuri's son was dying and his mother was crying inconsolably, saying goodbye to her only child, Yuri hugged his wife and said: "He will live another year." Indeed, the child went on the mend and died only a year later. And at the funeral of his beloved son, the man reassured his wife: “Don't be sad. He did not die, he just moved to another world before us."
4. A cell in hell
Professor Rawlings once rescued a dying man by giving him a heart massage. The dying man's heart stopped, his pulse disappeared, but at some point the man suddenly came to his senses and in a pleading voice asked the doctor not to stop! This was especially unexpected, because during the massage, the doctor broke two of the patient's ribs!
The patient survived, and, having come to his senses, told the doctor the terrible story of his stay in the “other world”. After a car accident, he lost consciousness, and woke up in a cell with stone walls and strong bars. In addition to the man, there were four other demonic creatures in the cell. Huge, black, of incredible strength, they tore at his flesh, causing terrible pain. He could not even move, feeling as if there were no muscles in his body. It was also very hot in the cell, and the man was going crazy with thirst. According to him, the torture continued for several weeks. But in an instant, he closed his eyes and woke up in intensive care. It turned out that he was in a state of clinical death no more than 8 minutes.
According to the surviving patient, he no doubt went to hell. And it was after this story that I truly understood the essence of the word "eternity". Tellingly, clinical death seriously affected the man's worldview. He gave up alcohol, stopped showing aggression towards people around him and became a deeply religious person.
5. Broken cup
During the operation, the patient experienced clinical death. For 10 minutes they tried to bring her back to life, and when the doctors succeeded, the woman came to her senses and began to tell a fantastic story. “When my heart stopped, I felt myself getting rid of my body and hovering over the operating table. Looking at my lifeless body, I clearly realized that I had died! It hurt me terribly because I never said goodbye to my family. And I just flew home! A neighbor, my mother and my beloved daughter, were sitting at the table in the apartment, but in an unusual dress with green polka dots, which she did not have before. At some point, my mother dropped the cup, which immediately shattered to smithereens. At that moment I opened my eyes and saw the doctors bending over me!"
Later, the doctor of the same patient met with her mother and was indescribably surprised to learn from her that on that day and at the same time they really were sitting at the table and drinking tea. A dress with polka dots was brought to the girl by a neighbor, and the cup really broke. Perhaps fortunately …
As you can see, a variety of people, experiencing clinical death, tell fantastic stories that the afterlife is not fiction and, quite possibly, each of us will have to answer for our actions committed during life. But even if this is not the case, there is human memory. And it is better if the preserved memory of the person is good.
