As I lay dying in a car crash I saw HELL – screaming souls were grabbing for me but I'm not afraid to go back
There she saw "souls screaming and reaching for help" - and isn't afraid to experience is again.

Yoga Premananda, as she's known, nearly met her demise after making plans to meet up with a friend to go partying in Vegas.
Deciding to do the trip alone, the 51-year-old holistic energy healer recalls feeling "euphoric" and lost track of where she was going - and her speed.
While on an empty desert road, with nobody else around, her attention kicked back in and suddenly, a feeling of dread washed over her.
She struggled to breathe and before she knew it, her car flew off the road.
Yoga said: 'I started gasping for air. I had never felt anything like this before in my whole life.
'As I was dying, I saw my legs crushed under the steering wheel.'
Recalling her discovery of Hell, Yoga, from Florida, US, said she entered a cold and dark room before landing in a "terrifying" pit.
She says a shadow figure was present, along with a never-ending ceiling, and that there was a strong smell of smoke.
Yoga was then greeted by Archangel Raphael – a prominent healing figure across multiple religions – who challenged her.
And suddenly, she was in the "waiting room" for Heaven.
Woman reveals what 'heaven is like' after near-death experience from choking
'I wasn't scared, but I didn't know what I was doing in the Hell realm,' said Yoga.
'There was a spinning pyre of flames, with souls hanging off it, screaming and reaching for help.
'The shadow figures around me wondered who I was.
'And the whole room's dimensions were odd; the walls were shadows and they felt cold, yet hot; dry, yet wet.
'I wasn't even thinking about my body back on Earth.
'When Archangel Raphael appeared, he was wearing dark sunglasses, a long dark trench coat and a black hat.
'Suddenly, I was beamed into a waiting room for Heaven in a split second.
'I felt very normal and quite comfortable.
'When I reached the other side, I was relieved – it was like home.'
Before entering Heaven, she went into a long white tunnel with other souls that were coming and going.
Archangel Raphael then made the decision on if you got to dance with God or the Devil.
She said: 'He was sitting at a desk going through and stamping papers with information of the souls.
'There was a bright and light energy around it; the total opposite to what I thought Hell was like.
'No one used words, but we still communicated.
'A familiar feeling came over me as some souls went to the end of the tunnel – and I knew I wasn't supposed to go there.
'I still had my physical body, whereas other souls were just orbs of light passing through.'

When it was her turn to approach Archangel Raphael, he stamped her ticket and reversed the crash.
Yoga said: 'He got the okay from God to save my life.
'When I went back into my physical body, my car was miraculously on the road with no scratches or bumps.
'It was like a scene from a movie.
'I was filled with purpose and the information I had received rearranged my body.
'A piece of my brain had been activated – and the process was complete.'
Yoga, scared, turned the car around and headed back home.
She said: 'I feel as if a higher power got me back safely that day.
'I hadn't realised the breath and depth of what had happened to me.
'I felt between worlds, like a part of me was still in Heaven's waiting room.
'A few weeks later, I struggled to breathe while driving again and I rushed to the hospital.'
Doctors tried to prescribe her anti- anxiety medication, but she says a voice full of wisdom spoke internally and urged her to leave.
Now, this voice guides her each and every day and she's since gone on to achieve several certificates in healing, detox and cleansing as part of her new path.
Yoga uses her journey to help other people understand their near death experiences through her work as a holistic healer.
She added: 'God chose to save my life and send me back here to have a beautiful journey.
'People say I seem different; but it's just the new me.

'I've had to deal with insomnia, anxiety and mental fog due to everything not making sense anymore.
'I haven't touched any drug, alcohol, caffeine, medicine or animal-based products since to cleanse my body.
'But I've come to learn that what we do on Earth is backwards.
'This reality here isn't our only reality – or our permanent one.
'Hell taught me a lot; I learned the importance of compassion for others.
'I'm not fearful about experiencing it again and I'm happy to have been able to escape the boxes we create for ourselves that only hurt us in the long run.
'People need to wake up so we can get as close as possible to our true nature before it's too late.'
What is a near-death experience?
A near-death experience (NDE) is a profound, personal experience reported by individuals who have been close to death or in a life-threatening situation.
These experiences often involve vivid, unusual, and realistic sensations and perceptions that can include out-of-body experiences, feelings of peace and well-being, seeing a bright light, and encountering deceased loved ones or other beings.
Key features of near-death experiences
Out-of-body experiences: Individuals may feel detached from their physical body, observing the scene from a different perspective.
Tunnel vision and bright light: Many report moving through a dark tunnel toward a bright light.
Feelings of peace and well-being: NDEs are often described as intensely positive, with feelings of serenity, love, and joy.
Life review: Some individuals report a rapid review of their past life events.
Encountering others: People may encounter deceased loved ones, religious figures, or other beings.
Possible explanations
While there isn't a universally accepted scientific explanation for NDEs, some theories suggest they may be related to:
Physiological changes
Possible changes in brain activity during periods of oxygen deprivation or stress could contribute to the experiences.
Psychological responses
The mind might generate these experiences as a coping mechanism in the face of death.
Spiritual interpretations
Some individuals interpret NDEs as evidence of an afterlife or a connection to a higher power.

Mariah Carey: Ageing doesn't happen to me and I won't allow it
T o preserve his eternal youth Dorian Gray traded his soul, while it was said that Queen Cleopatra bathed daily in sour donkey milk to delay the ageing process. But Mariah Carey, the US pop star and self-confessed diva, has another method: refuse to acknowledge ageing altogether. The singer, 56, has said that ageing 'just doesn't happen' to her because she 'does not acknowledge time'. In an interview with Harper's Bazaar UK, Carey was asked how she deals with getting older. 'I don't allow it — it just doesn't happen. I don't know time. I don't know numbers. I do not acknowledge time,' she replied. Carey appears on the front cover of this month's edition of Harper's Bazaar ALEXI LUBOMIRSKI/HARPER'S BAZAAR The Fantasy singer, who has sold more than 200 million records worldwide, has spoken before about her ability to ignore time. Speaking to People magazine in 2015 she said: 'I think I have to remain eternally oblivious to age. 'Honestly, when you put a number on it yourself, it's just like, why? Why do that?' In a 2014 interview with Out magazine she was asked about her lengthy career — which now spans more than three decades — as one of the world's most famous pop stars. 'First of all, don't round up. If you're going to round, round down!' she said. 'I don't count years, but I definitely rebuke them — I have anniversaries, not birthdays, because I celebrate life, darling. 'I'm eternally 12 years old,' she added. Carey promoting her album, Emotions, in New York in 1991 RON GALELLA/GETTY IMAGES In 2015 she was asked in an interview with James Corden how many No 1 singles she had had. 'Yes, 18, that's why my age stays 18,' she replied. 'We'll celebrate my 18th birthday with the fact that I've had 18 No 1s.' She has also refused ever to publicly acknowledge her age. Officially, Carey was born on March 27, 1969 in Huntington, New York. 'I don't have a birthday,' she has joked. 'I was just dropped here. It was a fairyland experience.' • Live fast, play slow: how tempos drop as singers age Her beauty regime is also intensive, with Carey revealing she avoids harsh lighting and heavy make-up. She said her diet consists of no carbohydrates and eating 'Norwegian salmon and capers every day'. Carey, a mother of two, has also revealed that she sleeps up to 15 hours a night. US media has previously reported she often hires someone to massage her while she sleeps.

Bam Margera shares concerning update on how Hulk Hogan and Ozzy Osbourne's deaths are affecting him
has admitted to having a 'really rough week' as he mourns the loss of both Hulk Hogan and Ozzy Osbourne. The WWE icon passed away on Thursday at the age of 71 after going into cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida. Just two days earlier, the Black Sabbath singer died at the age of 76 while 'surrounded by love.' Margera, 45, paid emotional tributes to both the late stars on his Instagram page - and further opened up about their 'shocking' deaths while talking to TMZ in L.A. on Friday. 'It's been a really rough week,' he told the outlet while joined by his wife Dannii Marie. 'Especially with the Hogans. My heart goes out to all of them.' Margera then recalled recently spending the winter down in Florida with Hogan and his family while he 'skated with the pros.' The MTV star said he had crossed paths with Hogan one day who was 'walking around with a cane' and when he mentioned Marie was a stretch therapist, the wrestler said that was something he needed. 'So, we pretty much stayed in Florida the whole winter for the Hogans.' Margera shared memorable moments they had together, including karaoke nights on Mondays which they did 'all the time.' The professional skateboarder added that both he and Hogan had seeing Swedish-American guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen on their 'bucket list' - and were able to watch the musician perform before his death. Margera also remembered attending the wedding of Hogan's son Nick in January, which the WWE legend had also been in attendance at. He admitted that he was still having a hard time processing his sudden passing. 'I'm still - I feel a certain way. I'm still shocked by it all,' the star said, with his wife adding that they had plans to have dinner with Hogan next week. Margera and Hogan had known each other for years, and the pro wrestler had notably posted a tribute to the Jackass star in 2018 initially believing he was dead at the time. Hogan had shared a throwback photo of the pair on Twitter (now X) along with the message: 'D**n Bam I wish you were still with us. I sure would love to hang out again my brother love u miss u HH.' Margera shared memorable moments they had together, including karaoke nights on Mondays which they did 'all the time' Over on Instagram, Margera shared a tribute to Hogan upon learning of his death along with a slideshow of photos of the pair from over the years However, Hogan later realized that Margera was very much alive and admitted that he had mixed up the skateboarder with his Jackass co-star Ryan Dunn - who passed away in 2011 during a traffic collision. Over on Instagram, Margera shared a tribute to Hogan upon learning of his death along with a slideshow of photos of the pair from over the years. 'I'm crushed. Hulk was more than a hero, he was family to me and my wife,' he penned. 'The world just lost another legend today, and I lost a true brother. It was an absolute honor to take him to see Yngwie Malmsteen, one of his biggest wishes. 'Not many people knew it, but he was a professional musician before he was a professional wrestler. Hulk played in bands and was an incredible studio musician…amazing base player!' Margera added, 'Just so many great memories, like sitting beside him hosting karaoke together at his Hogan's Hangout. 'D**n, I'm gonna miss you man, it hurts. I'll never forget. Rest in power Hulkster. I'll carry your spirit forever.' Margera had also known Osbourne for many years - and the pair notably hosted the 2007 VH1 Rock Honors in Las Vegas together. Earlier this week, the MTV alum shared a picture of both he and Osbourne at the event alongside a moving message. 'Legends never die. I'm grateful to have shared this moment with Ozzy Osbourne hosting at the VH1 Rock Honors in Vegas.' He continued, 'Rest in power Ozzy… your spirit, your voice, and your madness will echo forever. Jack, Kelly, and Sharon… my wife and I share your pain. Our love and condolences to you.' Hogan's sudden death at the age of 71 in Florida was announced on Thursday, leavings loved ones and fans mourning over the loss. A Clearwater Police Department spokesman said in a statement at the time: 'Clearwater Fire Department and Clearwater Police Department personnel responded to a medical call at 9:51 a.m. today in the 1000 block of Eldorado Avenue on Clearwater Beach. 'The nature of the call was for a cardiac arrest. A 71-year-old resident, Terry Bollea, also known as Hulk Hogan, was treated by Clearwater Fire & Rescue crews before being taken by Sunstar to Morton Plant Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.' A statement on Hogan's main Instagram account also confirmed his passing and read: 'It is with a heavy heart and deep sadness that we confirm we have lost a legend. 'Our beloved Terry Bollea, known worldwide as Hulk Hogan, passed away today surrounded by his loved ones. At this time of grief, we ask that everyone please respect the privacy of his family and friends. 'May we all take solace in the wonderful memories he left behind for the millions of fans worldwide whose lives he touched for more than four decades. He will be missed, but never forgotten.' Hogan had been father to two children: Brooke, 37, and Nick, 34 - whom he shared with ex-wife Linda. They had been married from 1983 to 2009. He later tied the knot with Jennifer McDaniel in 2010 until their divorce in 2021. Two years later, the WWE legend said 'I do' to Sky Daily and the pair were married up until his death on Thursday. Before his death, Hogan had undergone neck surgery and Sky claimed that his heart was 'strong' amid claims he was on his deathbed in a coma. The late star's rep also expressed in a statement, 'He's had problems with his back for years but there's no emergency.' A source told that the WWE icon was trying to get back to '100 percent' following both neck and back surgeries. 'Hulk has a body ravaged by wrestling, his body is the body of a 140-year-old man with all the bumps and bruises through the years, and his recent neck and back surgeries have been harder to come back from,' the insider said. Two days earlier, Osbourne's family released a statement on Tuesday announcing the Black Sabbath singer's death. 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. 'He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.' Weeks for his passing, Osbourne gave his final concert in Birmingham and told the crowd in his speech: 'You've no idea how I feel - thank you from the bottom of my heart.' The performer was known for both his popular and controversial moments, such as when he bit the head off a bat live on stage. He has been repeatedly asked about the moment over the years, but long insisted that he thought the bat was a rubber toy rather than a live animal. The Crazy Train singer had been battling Parkinson's disease since 2003.
