Whether simply an oxygen shortage, some sort of anesthesia, or a neurochemical response to trauma, as hypothesized, the NDE leaves those who experience it with a real, sometimes traumatic memory. “Like a town that loses power one neighborhood at a time, local regions of the brain go offline one after another,” one expert told Scientific American.ĭuring a NDE, your mind is left to keep working, but without its normal operational parameters.

As your brain starts losing blood and oxygen, the electrical activity within the brain begins to power down. Researchers-especially those from the International Association for Near-Death Studies-believe NDEs most likely happen due to a change in blood flow to the brain during sudden life-threatening events, like a heart attack, blunt trauma, or even shock. The experts just aren’t entirely sure how-or why. But scientists say that while many of the most publicized NDEs have a positive spin, negative NDEs certainly occur, too. Maybe Johnson’s story sounds far-fetched to you. Johnson says his hellacious NDE made him realize he needed to forgive people who had wronged him, instead of hoping for their punishment. Only this time, demons were singing the songs to “torture” people. Johnson also heard music in hell, including Rihanna’s “Umbrella” and Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”-traditionally upbeat tunes. Johnson claims he saw a man walking on all fours like a dog and getting burned from head to toe: “His eyes were bulging and worse than that: He was wearing chains on his neck. Johnson says that immediately after his heart attack in February 2016, his spirit left his physical body and went down to hell, entering through “the very center of the Earth.” Though he says “the things I saw there are indescribable,” he did his best.
