Hi ! First I want to appreciate @jerrybanfield for this opportunity to share supernatural experiences that we have all gone through. I believe this is a avenue for we all to learn a few things.

First, I talk about my person a little. My name is Chinonso and am a Nigerian , specially from Abia state ; one of the igbo speaking states of this great African community. I was born into a christian family of 6 kids and it's being so much fun so far . Life has been good , now in college, I hope to make a great medical doctor someday.

Seeing the post about the supernatural threw me back in time to a moment of a near death scenario that occurred while I was still in junior high.

It had been a great year (2006) and I and my family were all celebrating and lost in the euphoria of the new year. Daddy had insisted that we all took a trip to our beloved hometown(Umuahia) in order to spend the festive season of Christmas. It's a popular tradition to spend the end of the year in the village as a Nigerian.

Grandpa was glad to see us the kids. He hugged each of us tightly while uttering blessings as we presented the gifts we got for himself and grandma. Grandma had been in the traditional kitchen preparation dinner in anticipation of our arrival. She was one fair and joyful woman for her age . Nonso! (Shorts for chinonso) can't forget the way she called my name ; he favorite grandchild was home to her again.

Grandma had been very fond of me since I was a baby and this likeness lasted with time. You spoilt kids she would always call us, I and ur grand dad have so much to teach you this Christmas. Grandpa was a Palm wine tapper and grandma was always on the farm. This was dad's idea of we spending time with them by getting engaged in their kinds of activities.

The village was fun this year as we got to see most of our cousins and other relatives we hadn't seen in a while. We played with other kids in the community's field, went to farm with grandma n escorted grandpa on various occasions to his farm plantations.

It had been a week in the village and the approach of the new year was at hand. It was new years eve day and I went to the wine plantation with my brother to get wine for some visitors. It was very early in the morning and the chills of the morning made me shiver. We went with grandpas climbing gear to aid the venture. Climbing was easy but the the hard part came with with tapping the wine. My brother was watching me from down the tree and the next thing I heard was a last shout ; Nonso , Watch out!!!

That was the last thing I remembered before I found myself wandering outside my body. It was the strangest feeling ever ; like a dream I found my body flat on the floor , my brother crying over me. It was at that instant I was sucked through a black hole into a realm of oblivion. It wasn't anything like the stories I had always heard ? Heaven? Before long a was translated into a realm of my greatest fantasy. It was like I was living another life, I was all grown up with a family and kids . Two sweet girls and a little boys and we were off to see grandpa too. It was just like old times until I was then sucked into a realm of darkness. The darkness was filled with cries of pain and sufferings . I could help but cry even in that realm.

Pain beyond words was what I saw. Like in the bible passages grandma always read to me. I realised that this was what she called the after apocalypse era. The whole trance was gloomy but I could see scary figures that were the agents of the pain. I remembered granny calling them demons who were Satan's agents.

It got more frightening as I was about being sucked into a confinement it was then I started perceiving I was been called into from a far realm. The voice was familiar, It was mom, " Nonso, nwa'm (my child ), please come back to us" .At that moment it was like I was be sucked in deeper as I could barely hear the voice. In a flash I was dragged along by an unseen force , I wasn't aware of what entity this was. He told my so many things about life I knew not about.

It was a great spiritual awakening for me . He said to me " I am Jesus Christ : ur redeemer and you need not to be afraid . I have come because you have found mercy in my sight and I have chosen to redeem you from death. The power of life and death are in my hands and so am sending you back , back to be a force and source of change . I want you to carry home the message and reality of these two places you have seen. Hell is real, heaven is really and though the world might doubt , am sending you back so they'll believe".

In a flash, I could see the doctors still working on my injuries, My mum was still holding my hands and crying. "We've got a pulse" the doctor said before I lost consciousness again. I woke some 10hours later to the joy of my family who were all in the hospital and happy to have me back. It took about a month to recovery as I had a fractured femur and a rib. Miraculously I got to recover fully in no time and I got to share my experience with my family. Grandma was most delighted to hear what I had to say and she was very willing to explain further because I had so many questions to ask because of how confusing the experience was.

That was the start of my little walk with God and everywhere I go and every opportunity I get, I share my little experience. I hope this experience gets to help someone here. Thanks
