A chilling tale from Reddit’s NoSleep forum has stirred intense debate online. According to one anonymous user, they were clinically dead for six minutes—and what they experienced during that time challenges every comforting notion we hold about the afterlife.
The incident occurred in 2003 when the poster was just 15. A sudden medical collapse left them unresponsive in the middle of the road. Paramedics revived their body en route to the hospital, but they claim their soul wandered somewhere far more sinister.
“I was dead,” they wrote. “Not metaphorically. My heart stopped. EMS brought me back—but I remember everything that happened in between.”
Those six minutes, they insist, felt eternal. Instead of light or warmth, they describe meeting a trickster presence—playful at first, then emotionally sadistic.
