Testimonies of People That Died and Were in Hell for a brief few moments.
BUT!!!
Remember This...
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. - 2 Peter 3:9
God clearly states that he does not want anyone to go to hell.
He who keeps the commandments loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father in Heaven, and I, JESUS CHRIST will love him, and will make Myself know to him. John 14:21
For those who scoff and say there is no such thing as Hell. I leave you with these first hand accounts of those who have been there and returned to tell the truth!
Backsliding Christian
"Jesus spoke to the backslider again, "You should have told the truth, and you would have turned many to righteousness with God's Word, which says that all unbelievers will have their part in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone."You knew the way of the cross. You knew the way of righteousness. You knew to speak the truth. But Satan filled your heart with lies, and you went into sin. You should have repented with sincerity, not halfway. My Word is true. It does not lie. And now it is too late, too late." At that, the man shook his fist at Jesus and cursed Him."
-Mary Kay Baxter - From The Book A Divine Revelation of Hell
23 Minutes In Hell
"You desperately long for even a few moments of rest, but you never, ever get that privilege. Imagine for a moment how terrible you feel after forty eight hours of no sleep. In hell you never sleep, rest or find a quiet moment. No rest from the torments, the screams, the fear, the thirst, the lack of breath, the stench, the heat, the hopelessness. You are isolated from contact with any other people".
- Bill Wiese – Book: 23 Minutes in Hell - Bill's Testimony on video
Emergency Room
"A respiratory nurse who works in an emergency room told me about a patient who had gone “code red” – he flat lined. She and some other medical personnel rushed over with the defibrillator to try and bring him back to life. They applied the paddles and revived him. She said that he started screaming and shouting “the heat, the heat!” then his heart stopped again. They brought him back a second time. He shouted “The flames, the flames!” They lost him again. Four times the man flat lined and was brought back, each time shouting about the heat or the flames. After the last time, he died and they could not bring him back. She said all the doctors and nurses just stood there for a few minutes and stared at the body. They all knew that man went to hell."

Journey to the Center of the Earth
"I tell you, the terror is unbelievable. With a spirit body, it cannot be frozen or burned. It simply exists with thousands of sensations, which this nervous system we own down here could not take. It is absolutely Hell. I was surrounded by demons. They seemed to be so excited they were doing a fancy rock and roll dance in honour of getting me there. Thousands of them shouted to me that I would never get out. They didn't realize I was only there for a short period, and told me I was there because I had believed their deceptions whilst I was on Earth. The stench was indescribable. It was the smell of dying and dead flesh. Satan, their captain, is of course the author of death. Jesus called them unclean spirits, and they certainly are that."
- Dr. Richard Eby - Book: Caught Up into Paradise
The Giant Worms in Hell
"There were other creatures in the sea of fire that looked like huge worms. They would come to the surface and then disappear and then return to the surface. About 20 feet from him he saw them coming to the surface and they were coming towards him. When they reached him they began boring into him and went inside his body and brain and were coming out of his eyes. They were driving him insane. There is no end to these things in hell." - From a Patients Vision of Hell by Dr. Michael Yeager
Scientists discover giant worms that feed on sulfur.
Heart Attack - James Bond Actor Curd Jurgens
"I had been looking up into the big glass cupola over the operating room. This cupola now began to change. Suddenly it turned a glowing red. I saw twisted faces grimacing as they stared down at me. Overcome by dread I tried to struggle upright and defend myself against these pallid ghosts, who were moving closer to me.I could no longer shut out the frightful truth. Beyond doubt, the faces dominating this fiery world were faces of the damned. I bad a feeling of despair, of being unspeakably alone and abandoned. The sensation of horror was so great it choked me, and I had the impression I was about to suffocate."
- From Glimpses of the Beyond: The Extraordinary Experiences of People Who Have Crossed the Brink of Death and Returned by Jean-Baptiste Delacour (1973); translated from German in 1974 by E.B. Garside

Dark Tunnel
"Then out of nowhere, a car was coming at us at high speed, running the light. I remember my friend yelling, “Oh my God!” - just before the car hit us. I left my body. I started going down this long, dark tunnel. It was dark … so dark. I knew I was dead and I was going to hell. You couldn’t even see the hand in front of your face. I was yelling, “I don’t want to go yet! I don’t want to go yet!” I’m falling farther and farther away from the little light at the top of the tunnel above me.
Out of the dark things began grabbing at me. Long fingernails began to grab me and claw at me, trying to pull me into them. I kept screaming, “No! I don’t want to go yet!” Their grotesque mouths were open wide and their teeth were gnashing at me." - Full testimony of Debra Mc Farland
Plane Crash Skydiver
"I experienced a deep hopelessness and horror. Separation is hopelessness! External separation is a torment beyond belief. I want you to know there is a place established somewhere that is eternal separation. I was permitted to not only see, but to experience the feeling of what it would be like to be in this eternal separation. And I began to cry out to God". - Full testimony at Mickey Robinson.com
Tug of War for My Soul
"When Satan said I belonged to him, he was accusing me. He reiterated and confirmed all things I had just been shown and convicted of; he stood there making a legal argument against me. Satan pulled me back with him, and I was drawn back, I felt the torment and started screaming again."
-Craig Gottschalk -Aviation Mechanic - From the book True Stories of Those Who Have Made the Journey
A Dance With Death - Famous French Dancer Janine Charrat
"But what was now revealed to me made me cry in terror. I was alone in a strange and unfamiliar world, surrounded by huge licking flames. The flames got bigger, and their incandescent redness so glaring that I thought I would perish in fear. It really and truly had to be hell! The thick curtain of fire had to be the devil's work for how else were the leaping flames being fed? They seemed to be coming in a wild dance out of the interior of the earth, their bizarre shapes constantly changing The ground under me was incandescent, a lava-like, boiling mud."
- From Glimpses of the Beyond: The Extraordinary Experiences of People Who Have Crossed the Brink of Death and Returned by Jean-Baptiste Delacour (1973); translated from German in 1974 by E.B. Garside
48 Hours in Hell
"You are in hell," he said; for you all hope is fled. As you passed through the mountain on your way here, you heard the groans and shrieks of the lost as they called for water to cool their parched tongues. Along that passage there is a door that opens into the lake of fire. An indescribable thirst for water now seized upon me. And calling for water my eyes opened in the hospital prison."
- George Lennox 1888 - Lennox was a notorious thief in Suffolk County
Australian Goes Down Under
"As I stood there I began to sense that this wasn't just a physical darkness but that there was something else there. I could feel a cold eerie feeling as though something or someone was looking at me - a spiritual darkness. From the darkness I began to hear men’s voices screaming at me telling me to "shut up" - "that I deserved to be there" - "that I was in Hell". Link to Ian McCormack's Web Site -Personal Testimony of Ian McCormack
The Thief
"This young man would constantly steal from our group home and others. He we would repent of what he did but then return to stealing again within a few days. Day by day he neared the end of the way. The night before he died I was awakened by unearthly shrieks that sounded like uncanny howls of some wild animal or some fiend. The next day when the man died I was away from home. As he lay in death throes, delighted, awful hellish demons gathered about him. When his soul was leaving his body the man seeing his captors, wept, yelled, and cried at the top of his voice in wildest terror. “Mr. Baker, help! help! come quickly! they are all about me with chains! They are binding me with chains.”
- From the book Visions Beyond the Veil - H.A. Baker
Survived High Voltage Electrocution
"I heard the most horrifying, tormenting screams imaginable. I heard these time and time again, and although I never saw who was screaming, I, myself, would scream because of the fear of those frightening screams. Besides the screaming there were also demons. Yes, there really are demons. Indescribable and most ugly things you had ever seen. They came up to me and taunted me. Yelling in my face, "We got you now!" Laughing at me saying, "We fooled you!"
- Timothy T. LaFond - Fire Engine Technician that went on to become a pastor.
The Prince of Darkness
"Then I started to hear rustling and clicking sounds next to me and I turned around and saw Satan standing right next to me. He was wearing a red and black robe and his face looked like a living skeleton. I was terrified and I tried to get away but I couldn't move. He put his face right next to mine and said he had been waiting for me and I had to go with him. I looked around for the loving light but it was gone and all I could see were ugly little creatures laughing at me. They looked like trolls or goblins." The small devils laughed in small cackling voices, and then suddenly everything stopped and I felt myself falling very fast back into my body."

Hangman - Attempted Suicide
"From the roof of the utility shed in my backyard I jumped to the ground. Luckily for me I had forgot the broken lawn chair that lay near the shed. My feet hit the chair and broke my fall, or my neck would have been broken. I hung in the rope and strangled. I was outside my physical body. I saw my body hanging in the rope; it looked awful. I was terrified, could see and hear, but it was different hard to explain. Demons were all around me. I could hear them but could not see them. They chattered like blackbirds. It was as if they knew they had me, and had all eternity to drag me down into hell, to torment me. It would have been the worst kind of hell, trapped hopeless between two worlds, wandering lost and confused for all eternity."
-Grayson, Bruce, and Bush, Nancy Evans. Distressing Near-Death Experiences: Psychiatry, 55:95, 1992
A Doctor's Testimony
"Each time he regained heartbeat and respiration, the patient screamed, "I am in hell!" He was terrified and pleaded with me to help him. I was scared to death...Then I noticed a genuinely alarmed look on his face. He had a terrified look worse than the expression seen in death! This patient had a grotesque grimace expressing sheer horror! His pupils were dilated, and he was perspiring and trembling - he looked as if his hair was "on end."
- Dr. Maurice Rawlings Specialist on Internal Medicine
A Continuous Fire
"Oh, that is the gnawing worm that never dies! Salvation once was offered me and I refused it. You laughed at them that told you of a hell; nay you were so presumptuous to dare Almighty Justice to destroy you! But then the fire you burn on earth is of a preying and devouring nature; for whatsoever it takes hold of it consumes to ashes; and when it meets with no more fuel it goes out. But here it is not so. For though it burns with that tremendous fierceness, which none but those that feel it know, yet does it not consume, nor never will. We shall ever be burning."
- John Bunyan - English Author (1628-1688), from Hell is Real, compiled by Mrs. M. A. Daoud
What They Desired
"I was shown my life course, which revealed I was without excuse. It was then I knew I was being judged and deserved my fate. Each person knew fully that they deserved his or her fate because each chose to walk away from God and now resided in a place without God as they desired during their lives on earth. God, in his great justice, fairness, and unfathomable love gave them what they desired."
-Near Death Experience of B. W. Melvin Author of, A Land Unknown: Hells Dominion
Attempted Suicide
"And I knew where I had gone wrong. I had doubted his existence. I had questioned the authenticity of the scriptures because what they claimed seemed too good to be true. I had hoped that there was truth to the idea of a Savior who had given his life for me, but I had been afraid to really believe."
-Angie Fenimore's Near-Death Experience - From the Book Beyond the Darkness
I Should Not Be Here
"In the darkness I became aware of an even more evil presence than I had already felt and there, high above anything, was this creature I just know was Satan. I didn't know what to do because this wasn't just a dream, this was reality. In my terror I screamed out, "I'm a Christian and I belong to Jesus. I shouldn’t be here", but Satan looked down and laughed a hideous laugh that I will always remember, and said, " When I tempted you, you gave in to me, you belong to me now", and at that moment I knew it was true. What could I do? There I was in Hell, with Satan, and in total despair. I had thought I was a Christian, but I had not committed my life to Jesus."
Testimony from Christine Eastell - Went into a cardiac arrest after a serious car accident.
No Light Only Darkness
"I would have loved to have been somewhere with a little red devil with a pitchfork poking me. It would have been a relief to have had physical pain, and if there was fire there would have been light. Anything to break the darkness, but this place was totally void of God. This was the pit that Jesus spoke of which is on the other side of God's all consuming lake of fire."
- David A. Smith's personal near death experience.
A Nun's Testimony
"Now, O body, you are paying the price of the delights you granted yourself!...and you did it of your own free will I saw several souls fall into Hell, and among them was a child of fifteen, cursing her parents for not having taught her to fear God nor that there was a Hell. Her life had been a short one, she said, but full of sin, for she had given in to all that her body and passions demanded in the way of satisfaction"
-Sister Josefa Menendez - From the book Way of Divine Love - 1923
Study On NDE Experiences
“A heart specialist from Chattanooga, Tennessee, has just finished a study of more than 100 patients brought back to life after being clinically dead. The Good News, he said, is that some of them had a blissful encounter with a being of light. The bad news, however, is that over half of the patients had a perfectly appalling time, walking through dimly-lit caverns and seeing fiendish figures brandishing pitchforks beside a smoking, sulfurous lake surrounded by moaning bodies. The doctor now firmly believes hell exists. Reluctantly, he said, I have come to the conclusion it may not be safe to die."
- May | June 1979 issue of Parapsychology Review
Surgical Nurse
"You're the gutsy one who talks about negative near-death experiences. Keep doing it. Don't stop." I was so startled by her comment, I momentarily slowed my pace and yelled back, "Who are you? What do you mean by that?" Her answer surprised me. "I'm a surgical nurse at a hospital in Phoenix, Arizona. We have lots of near-death cases there, and almost all of them are the negative kind. You know what I mean people who wind up in hell!"
- P.M.H.Atwater, L.H.D., Ph.D - (92 Journal of Near-Death Studies Vol.10, No.3)
My Taste of Hell
"I was standing before the throne of judgment. As I knelt before God, I felt his fury. It was at that point I knew I was damned. Thankfully, the pain stopped and the line started moving again, but I knew I wasn't going to Heaven. In fact, I had been given a preview of what was in store for me and that was Hell! I was crying, and full of terror. I was going to hell, something I feared my whole life." Link to full testimony

No Longer An Atheist
"A wild orgy of frenzied taunting, screaming and hitting ensued. I fought like a wild man. All the while it was obvious that they were having great fun. It seemed to be, almost, a game for them, with me as the center-piece of their amusement. My pain became their pleasure. They seemed to want to make me hurt by clawing at me and biting me. Whenever I would get one off me, there were five more to replace the one."
- Personal Testimony of Howard Storm
A Description of Hell
In 1948, George Godkin of Alberta, Canada, related a despairing near-death affair in the midst of a prolonged critical illness: "I was guided to a place in the spirit world called Hell…. The darkness of Hell is so intense that it seems to have a pressure per square inch. It is an extremely black, dismal, desolate, heavy, pressurized type of darkness. It gives the individual a crushing, despondent feeling of loneliness. The heat is a dry, dehydrating type. Your eyeballs are so dry they feel like red hot coals in their sockets. Your tongue and lips are parched and cracked with the intense heat. The breath from your nostrils as well as the air you breathe feels like a blast from a furnace. The exterior of your body feels as though it were encased within a white hot stove. The interior of your body has a sensation of scorching hot air being forced through it."
Car Accident - Jewish Woman
"I was disgusted and horrified and scared... it was so ugly. The people were blackened and sweaty and moaning in pain and chained to their spots. And I had to walk through the area back to the wall. One was even chained to the evil side of the wall. The man was so skeletal and in such pain… as was another one chained by the side of wall…I wanted them to help him, but no one would and I knew that I would be one of these creatures if I stayed. I hated it there."

The Educated Chinese Student
"What’s the use of my being a Christian? I do not need to be saved. You might die suddenly in your sins, and you would go to hell the girl replied. Who are you? scoffed the student. You are a little snip of an ignorant girl, a useless beggar. What do you suppose you are trying to do? You are trying to teach me something when you are not even worthy to even talk to me. I am a university student. I am wise and I have read many books. I can speak and read English as well as Chinese. He than spat in her face and told her to mind her own business. Two weeks later, hearing a funeral commotion in the front alley, I was surprised to learn that they were carrying this university student to his burial; I had seen him on the street a few days before. One of the boys said that as they we were going out to preach, a few days earlier, he had offered this same man a tract but he would not take it. I knew nothing of this conversation the young man had with this girl. About a month later this girl began to see visions of heaven and hell.
I have no power to help you now. You are certainly in an awful plight. It is you who is worse than a beggar now; all dirty, all filthy, and suffering in the lake of fire. In fact, you look worse now than any beggar I ever saw. I thought you told me you were wise and that you had a great education. Where is your education now? When I told you about Jesus you only made fun of him and cursed me. I have no power to help you now even if you apologized."
- From the book Visions Beyond the Veil - H.A. Baker
The Gates of Hell
"Keep in mind, now - that this was a very, very tough man. He was never afraid of anyone or anything. He was a bodyguard of a very, very popular person. He'd taken gunshots before. I've heard so many instances of how people who died momentarily would come back to life to say they'd "seen a light - a tunnel of light" and how "an angel said it wasn't yet my time". This was very different. The last time he came to for a moment, he had a petrified look in his eyes. He pulled my Grandmother close and said, "They're trying to get me. They're not human. I have to get out of here!" After saying this, in his horrible condition, he tried to get out of bed.
My Grandmother told me he saw the Gates of Hell. Until now, I've never had such a positive feeling that what we do in this life can certainly affect the afterlife." - From ForumGarden
I Saw Hell
"I heard screams, as i looked deeply into the fire, i saw people, they were standing and weeping, they looked animated to how, they were burning, but they were not actually burning up. They were crying, screaming.
Some I recognized, I saw the old man that use to live down my street, he killed himself, because he apparently raped really young girls. I saw some of my old friends, they had died in a bus and car collision. They were screaming my name, i heard some one say these exact words "jenny, don't come here, don't come to this place, if you come here, there's no escape!" i stayed watching the fire, i had feelings mixed up, i was scared yet sad. I felt bad for everyone i could see, they looked like they were in tremendous pain, lonely, hurt and upset." -

Visions of Hell
"I heard this strange noise as though i was suffocating. The next thing i know i am standing in utter darkness. I could not see a thing. I felt very out of place and was quite scared. The next thing I know I heard people, as in people moaning in utter agony and crying. I then felt like i was being attacked or more being overwhelmed by utter evil. I believe this place was hell." - Paul
I Don't Want To Die!
"I finally felt a pop as though my soul popped back into my body. My eyes opened wide and the nurse was looking down at me informing me that I had just had a heart attack. During my experience, when I knew I was dying and leaving my body I was afraid I was going to hell I never saw a light like most of the "Near Death Experiences", that I have heard" - Linda Irene Johnson
