These five people claim they have visited hell.
Here are their stories.
An art-historian from London, Evelyn Hazell came down with meningitis and quickly found herself fighting for her life. Then things got strange. She claims that she could feel something pulling her down, trying to drag her into a deep pit, and when she looked she saw a three-legged man clawing at her. Evelyn fought off her assailant and climbed back into the world of the living.
The nun St. Teresa, famous for her piety, claimed that God decided to show her what life would have been like if she wouldn’t have accepted his marriage proposal. According to her account, she found herself being pulled down a hall filled with rats and assorted scary things. Eventually, she said she was stuffed in a tiny cupboard by the devil and tormented. After her vision ended, she said that God told her that this is what was in store for her if she didn’t devote herself entirely to him.
