Even more interesting is why a priest should be sent to Hell, even for a visit. Any guesses?

She's a singer, from one of the islands IIRC. Barbados, I think. She's been around for several years. I remember her songs being played when I was at work in the factory, and I've been away from that for over two years. When I saw the title, I thought it was another Dry Styx humor thread, but I guess some things just can't be made up. EDIT -- Maybe instead of going to Hell he astral-traveled to that place where I worked. It's a close approximation.

If Catman recalls correctly, Christian tradition holds that Jesus spent three days in hell, so doesn't that place the priest in good company?

The comments made me practically lose hope for humanity, I'll say that... especially this one: "everyone who has this experience describes Hell in such a similar way. I believe him." Yup, that someone describes Hell in tropes that are drilled into the average Westerner's head from the age of five onwards should definitely constitute all the evidentiary proof one needs of the place's reality . As for the 'priest' himself, I have a feeling that his DD probably came from an internet site.

You know, been through Catholic Seminary, ordained, and all that... Probably a 'pastor' who self decided he was, and paid for a certificate saying he is off the interwebs.

Can't speak for other denominations, but for Roman Catholics the Harrowing of Hell is a bit of a grey area... Much like the existence of Satan, demons, and Hell itself are grey areas.

He is just copying Emmanuel Swedenborg, the Swedish mystic who wrote a book in 1758 about his travels to heaven and hell.

If a demon can possess a little innocent girl and make her head spin around, then God exists.

Your chances of getting a Vatican approved exorcism are slim to none... mental health problems are well understood now... Demonic possession is a great movie theme, but not real. PS... The Exorcist isn't about Regan's possession by Pazuzu... It's about Fr Karras' crisis of faith.

The only language they had for mental illness was 'demons'

They make for great horror filums, but they aren't real. If you want to find demons, look in the hearts and minds of people. That's where you will find them.
