Charlotte Holmes claimed she even spoke to God while in heaven
A woman who was clinically dead for 11 minutes came back to life with quite a story to tell about what waits for people in the ‘afterlife’.
A lot of people are concerned about how they live their life and what comes after death.
But one woman from Wichita, Kansas, is likely to put any fears at ease because of an experience she had back in 2019.
After going for a routine check-up with her cardiologist, 68-year-old Charlotte Holmes’ blood pressure soared to a dangerous 234 over 134. Doctors feared she was suffering from a stroke or heart attack.
For 11 minutes, Charlotte’s heart had stopped, and she was declared clinically dead.
She has since detailed her alleged experience of ‘heaven’ and terrifying view of ‘hell’ while speaking on the TV show The 700 Club.
Charlotte went into great detail regarding the beauty she witnessed while being clinically dead and being taken to ‘heaven’.
She said: “I could smell the most beautiful flowers I’ve ever smelled, and then I heard music.
“When I opened my eyes, I knew where I was. I knew I was in heaven.”
She claimed that she was escorted deeper into heaven by a group of angels.
Charlotte continued: “I can’t convey to you what heaven looked like, because it’s so above what we can even imagine, a million times.
“There’s no fear, it’s like pure joy when the angels take over.
“They didn’t look old, they didn’t look sick, none of them wore glasses. They looked like they were in their 30s. Yet it says in the scriptures, ‘We will be known as we were known’. I knew them there in their new bodies. They looked wonderful.”
One of the most striking moments during this experience was when she was allegedly reunited with a child she had lost.
Charlotte went on: “I can remember thinking, ‘Who is this?’ And I heard my heavenly father say to me, ‘It’s your child.'”
Speaking of the personal memory, she revealed: “I lost that child. I was five-and-a-half months pregnant. I can remember them holding the baby up and saying, ‘Charlotte, it’s a boy’. Then he was gone. So when I seen this toddler, I said, ‘God, how is that possible?’ He said, ‘They continue to grow in heaven – but there’s no time, it’s eternity.'”
But while being able to witness the beauty of heaven, Charlotte claims that God then showed her ‘hell’ as a warning.
She explained: “God took me to hell, and I looked down and the smell, and the rotten flesh – that’s what it smelled like… and screams.
“After seeing the beauty of heaven, the contrast to seeing hell is almost unbearable.
“God says, ‘I show you this to tell you, if some of them do not change their ways, this is where they shall reside.’ I heard my father say, ‘You have time to go back and share.'”
And that is exactly what Charlotte did. She said after this experience she felt herself being pulled back into her body and it was at this moment that her husband saw her eye twitch.
After the 11 minutes, Charlotte was revived, made a full recovery and was released from the hospital two weeks later.
Tragically, Charlotte would pass away a few years later in 2023 at the age of 72 following a heart attack.
