'I went to Hell after a car crash, there are flames and screaming souls'
A woman says she saw discovered Hell after her car flew off the road and she passed over into the other side, and says there were 'souls screaming for help'. Yoga Premananda says after she 'died' she entered a cold and dark room before landing in the 'terrifying' pit.
She says a shadow figure was present, along with a never-ending ceiling and that there was a strong smell of smoke. The holistic energy healer, 51, was then greeted by Archangel Raphael – a prominent healing figure across multiple religions – who challenged her.
And suddenly, she was in the 'waiting room' for Heaven. 'I wasn't scared, but I didn't know what I was doing in the Hell realm,' Yoga said. 'There was a spinning pyre of flames, with souls hanging off it, screaming and reaching for help. The shadow figures around me wondered who I was. And the whole room's dimensions were odd; the walls were shadows and they felt cold, yet hot; dry, yet wet. I wasn't even thinking about my body back on Earth.
'When Archangel Raphael appeared, he was wearing dark sunglasses, a long dark trench coat and a black hat. Suddenly, I was beamed into a waiting room for Heaven in a split second. I felt very normal and quite comfortable.
'When I reached the other side, I was relieved – it was like home.'
Before entering Heaven, she went into a long white tunnel with other souls that were coming and going. Archangel Raphael then made the decision of where would should stay, Yoga says. She said: 'He was sitting at a desk going through and stamping papers with information of the souls. There was a bright and light energy around it; the total opposite to what I thought Hell was like.
'No one used words, but we still communicated. A familiar feeling came over me as some souls went to the end of the tunnel – and I knew I wasn't supposed to go there. I still had my physical body, whereas other souls were just orbs of light passing through.'
Yoga nearly met her demise after making plans to meet up with a friend to go partying and decided to do the trip alone. She recalls feeling 'euphoric' and lost track of where she was going – and her speed.
While on an empty road, with nobody else around, she lost attention and suddenly, a feeling of dread washed over her. She struggled to breathe and before she knew it, her car flew off the road.
Yoga said: 'I started gasping for air. I had never felt anything like this before in my whole life. As I was dying, I saw my legs crushed under the steering wheel.'
But when it was her turn to approach Archangel Raphael, he stamped her ticket and reversed the crash. Yoga said: 'He got the okay from God to save my life. When I went back into my physical body, my car was miraculously on the road with no scratches or bumps.
'It was like a scene from a movie. I was filled with purpose and the information I had received rearranged my body. A piece of my brain had been activated – and the process was complete.'
Yoga turned the car around and headed back home. She said: 'I feel as if a higher power got me back safely that day. I hadn't realised the breadth and depth of what had happened to me. I felt between worlds, like a part of me was still in Heaven's waiting room.
'A few weeks later, I struggled to breathe while driving again and I rushed to the hospital.'
Doctors tried to prescribe her anti-anxiety medication, but she says a voice 'full of wisdom' and urged her to leave. Yoga says this voice now guides her every day and she's since gone on to achieve certificates in healing, detox and cleansing as part of her new path.
Yoga uses her journey to help other people understand their near-death experiences through her work as a holistic healer. She added: 'God chose to save my life and send me back here to have a beautiful journey.
'People say I seem different; but it's just the new me. I've had to deal with insomnia, anxiety and mental fog due to everything not making sense anymore. I haven't touched any drug, alcohol, caffeine, medicine or animal-based products since to cleanse my body.
'But I've come to learn that what we do on Earth is backwards. This reality here isn't our only reality – or our permanent one. Hell taught me a lot; I learned the importance of compassion for others.
'I'm not fearful about experiencing it again and I'm happy to have been able to escape the boxes we create for ourselves that only hurt us in the long run. People need to wake up so we can get as close as possible to our true nature before it's too late.'

My haunted Cotswolds house that proves hauntings are real. NADINE DORRIES thought she'd found her forever home. Then after family deaths and sinister encounters that terrified her children, she called a priest...
Do you believe a house can be haunted or cursed? I didn't – until I lived in one. Last month, I read about the tragic death of Beverley Allen, the first wife of former F1 boss Christian Horner and mother of his teenage daughter, who passed away at 58 after a cancer battle.

Australia's house of the year goes to a prefab beach shack trio on Stradbroke Island
Split it, sell it, or find a way of keeping it in the family? That's the question three sisters asked themselves when they inherited a property, built by their parents in the 1970s, on a plot of land near Home beach on Minjerribah/North Stradbroke Island. The sisters had been holidaying at the house since they were children, and the site was 'almost impossible to replicate', says one sibling, who asked to remain anonymous. 'We decided quite quickly we didn't want to get rid of it,' she says. As the older building had been eaten by mycelium, the hard part was deciding what to do with it next. When the architect Daniel Burnett from Brisbane's Blok Modular viewed the house to discuss the owners' vision for three units, the sisters took him to the beach, where they all got in their bathers and 'sat around in the water for about two hours', he says. Along with sharing memories, they made one request: equitable access to the beach – 'or we're going to have fights'. 'No matter how old you get, the sibling dynamic is still present,' he says. 'They were quite unapologetic about that.' Forming a committee of sorts, the sisters (who are in their 60s) assessed every design decision as one. 'It was a unified force,' says Burnett. The result is a trio of two-storey terraces identical by design, from the hardwood floors to the light fixtures. Each three-bedroom, two-bathroom unit was designed so the occupants would feel immersed in nature, says Burnett. 'You can sit anywhere in that building – even though it's a long skinny house – and feel like you're on the beach,' he says. Sign up for our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning 'It's magic,' says one sister. 'Right now I'm looking out over the sea watching the whales go by.' Awareness of the natural environment extended to the home's disaster-preparedness. Windows had to be triple glazed to fit fire zone safety requirements, for example, which the sisters say adds to the sense of privacy in each individual house. 'Inside with the windows closed, you can't hear anyone else,' says the sister. Blok Three Sisters was named house of the year in 2025's Houses awards. It's an example of 'stealth density', says the architect John Ellway, one of the jurors. 'You can see how the ideas in this [project] could be replicated and rolled out in a lot of different places.' It could be used for 'three families, three generations, or three friends. That's what stood out for us,' Ellway says. Designing each unit the same way, down to the furnishings, was a practical choice. 'The more you customise, the higher the price gets,' says the sister. To decide which sibling got which property, they 'went out to dinner and drew lots'. They knew they wanted a prefabricated modular build because they'd seen how quick and efficient it could be. 'Doing everything you can possibly do in a controlled environment reduces the disruption for delicate ecosystems,' like Stradbroke Island's, says Burnett, who partnered with architect Stuart Vokes from Brisbane's Vokes and Peters and builders Pagewood Projects to create modules that would be delivered and assembled on location. 'You can be a bit more ambitious about what you're building because you're not hanging off a ladder in the afternoon sun, and you can utilise the cranes and sophisticated machinery that's installed in the factory rather than available on the back of a ute,' he says. Local plumbers and electricians were employed to connect the building to services, and a small team was sent to complete cosmetic joins between the modules. But otherwise the homes are fully finished in the factory: 'Every window, door, tile, joinery, tap, all the flooring.' Built to budget and with readily available materials, it shows 'a good project doesn't necessarily have to be this luxurious flashy thing', says Ellway. 'Given that it's prefab and modular, the other thing [the jury] acknowledged is that if the need came to move it, they could lift it up and take it somewhere else,' or raise the properties a metre off the ground. 'The modular build gave us timing certainty,' says the sister, as they first engaged with the architects shortly after Covid. The buildings were completed within a year. 'I think this project is exciting because it demonstrates a model for housing density,' says Burnett. 'It shows it's possible to make multi-storey, multi-residential housing in a factory at a very high standard that could be applied to other models, like social housing,' he says. The architectural design 'helps us maximise the magic', says the sister. 'Sitting on that double-height deck, looking toward the beach, laying on the couch reading a book, is really very beautiful.' At Christmas and Easter, all three siblings and their families come together on the big lawn on the beach side of the property. 'When we live in it, we face the beach, that lawn,' she says. 'That's our face to the world.'
