A series of people who were pronounced clinically dead for just a moment have shared what it was like to pass away and spoke of their experiences of the other side. The debate kicked off on Reddit when one user shared their story, saying they had died before being revived and invited people to ask questions about the ordeal.

Soon, scores of people were sharing their own experiences with death, as many were able to remember sensations, feelings, and even visions from when they were dead. Among those who could remember, there were surprising similarities in their experiences as many recalled seeing the same thing.

What do you think happens when you die? Let us know in the comments…

One wrote: “I was getting an angiogram done, wide awake watching the screen and talking to the doctor. Alarms started to go off and everyone became panicked.

“My world became soft and foggy and everything faded to black. Next thing I remember was opening my eyes and hearing a Dr say ‘we got him back’. It was really a peaceful feeling more than anything.”

Then another added: “I flatlined for around 40 seconds. It was like falling asleep without dreaming, no sense of self.”

And a third wrote: “I collapsed at a work meeting in February 2014 and had no pulse or cardiac rhythm for about five minutes.

Another user commented: “My last memory was from about an hour prior to the incident, and my next memory was from two days later, when I emerged from a medically-induced coma.”

“I collapsed during a class presentation one day,” added another Reddit fan. “All breathing and blood circulation stopped.

“I felt as if I was plummeting down an endless hole while my peers cried for help. I was revived and still have no memory of the little bit of time before and after my death.”

And another user commented: “I do remember a little bit of the ambulance ride, but not from my own body. It was seriously the strangest thing I have ever experienced.

“It could have been a dream, but I saw my own unconscious body, completely flatlined, in the ambulance. I remember the EMT who was in the ambulance with me (whom I did not see before I passed out) had mint green hair and I couldn’t remember his name, but I asked for him when I regained consciousness about three days later.”

A user who had a similar experience added: “I was standing in front of a giant wall of light. It stretched up, down, left and right as far as I could see. Kind of like putting your eyes six inches from a fluorescent lightbulb. The next memory I have is waking up in the hospital.”
