One real afterlife story I've heard is about a man who had a near - death experience. He said he saw a bright light and felt an overwhelming sense of peace. He also claimed to have seen his deceased relatives waiting for him. He was then brought back to life and his whole perspective on life changed. He became more spiritual and started to value every moment more.
A young boy who had a severe illness once had an experience that he thought was the afterlife. He said he was in a garden filled with the most beautiful flowers he'd ever seen. There were animals that were not afraid of him at all. He met an old man who told him things about his future. When he recovered, some of the things the old man told him started to come true, which made him believe that there was some connection between that afterlife - like experience and his real life.
A patient who was in a coma for a long time told a story when he woke up. He said he had experiences that seemed like he was in another realm.

His story made those around him wonder about the existence of an afterlife and what might happen there.
There's a story of a woman who had a near - death experience. She said she entered a dark and cold place. There were faceless beings that seemed to be in agony. She felt a sense of dread and despair, as if this was a waiting area for souls who had not found peace in the afterlife. It was so terrifying that she was glad to come back to life.
The story of Dr. Eben Alexander is quite well - known. He was a neurosurgeon who had a severe brain infection. During his coma, he said he had an experience of the afterlife. He described traveling to a beautiful, spiritual realm. But again, some scientists argue that this was likely due to his brain's abnormal state rather than an actual visit to the afterlife.
