A patient who 'came back from the dead' has shared what they saw on the other side.
They are some of many who have told of their own experiences of what happened after they were pronounced clinically dead.
The discussion began on Reddit after one user shared their own story and asked others to come forward as well, the Mirror reports.
Soon, many wrote how they remembered sensations, feelings and visions from when they believe they were dead.
While there were some differences, there were also shocking similarities with many reporting seeing the same thing.
One person 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."
Another said: "I flatlined for around 40 seconds. It was like falling asleep without dreaming, no sense of self."
A third 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, 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."
Someone else added: "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."
