Man issues stark warning after enduring trip to 'Hell' during 'heart attack'

A man has issued a frightening warning after he endured a trip to "Hell" during a "heart attack" in an ordeal that he "wouldn't wish it on his worst enemy".

Gerald Johnson from Michigan, USA, has described how the terrifying trip to 'Hell' has changed his life forever.

Gerald made his bizarre claims in a video on TikTok, stating that he was sent to Hell in February 2016 after suffering what he initially thought was a heart attack.

As the video opens, Gerald said: "Absolutely, I saw the real Hell. I was there.

"And I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy, I don't care what the person has done to me."

The Michigan pastor then described the moment he travelled into the Earth's core, where he says Hell is located.

"I thought that I was having a heart attack," he recalled.

"My spirit left my physical body and I thought that I was going upward, because I thought I had done so much good in this lifetime and helped so many people [...] but as opposed to me going up, I went down. I went literally into the centre of the Earth.

"The things that I saw were literally indescribable and it makes me emotional every time I talk about it."

The pastor of seven years then described some of the things he witnessed when he was in Hell, including a man "on all fours like a dog" who was burnt from top to bottom and wearing a chain around his neck.

"It was a demon holding the chain," Johnson recalled.

"I knew that this demon was sent in this man’s life to ride him from his childhood to the time that he died."

Gerald went on to detail how he heard heard music playing and said that the lyrics were the same as those we hear on Earth, referencing Umbrella by Rihanna and Don't Worry Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin.

However, he said that instead of the chart-topping pop stars singing the lyrics, it was a haunting group of demons who were carrying the tunes.

He added: "Every lyric to every song is there to torment you as to the fact you didn’t worship god through music while you were on the Earth."

Gerald then revealed how he finally escaped Hell and made it back to Earth.

"I lifted up out of hell and I came back on the Earth and god began to speak to me. I actually saw the real Jesus," he said.

"He began to speak to me, and he said ‘you have been secretly upset with the people that hurt you, you have been hoping that I would punish the people who have hurt you’.

"‘These are not your people these are my people, I only want you to focus on the assignment that I am giving you’.

"Although I did good, the thing that I had in my heart was unforgiveness to people who have done me wrong.

"Because a person who cannot forgive is a person who has forgotten how much they have been forgiven of."

Since the pastor uploaded the video to TikTok it has gone viral, reaching over three million views and gaining 397,200 likes.

Many viewers seemed to resonate with Gerald, posting comments as a sign of unity.

"Everyone who has this experience describes Hell in such a similar way. I believe him," one wrote.

"This is the third video in a few days I’ve seen of a different person's account of hell," a second added. "The stories match they see the same thing which is wild."
