Mum who 'died for 27 minutes' scribbled spine tingling note revealing 'unbelievable' things she saw on other side
As creepy as it can be for some, it's clear many of us are extremely curious about death and what happens when we finally pass.
While somewhat macabre, knowing about what happens in our final moments can provide a source of comfort - including one mum who was declared dead for nearly half an hour.
The Arizona mum-of-four, Tina Hines, actually 'died for 27 minutes' before she scribbled down a spine-tingling note revealing the 'unbelievable' things she saw on the other side.

The dramatic series of events took place some years back in 2018 after Tina suffered a cardiac arrest,
But now, she hopes to comfort her followers by opening up about the mesmerising experience she encountered when she was temporarily deceased.
Prior to her life-altering health scare, Tina had always boasted a happy and healthy, active lifestyle, and had her heart set on embarking on a colossal hike near her home in Phoenix.
While she and husband Brian prepared for their almighty endeavour, however, the mother suddenly collapsed, quickly turning a deep shade of purple.
Terrified for his wife, Brian then began giving Tina CPR.
She was momentarily revived several times before the paramedics arrived and took over the chest compressions, before the dying mother was rushed to the nearby hospital.
In the ambulance on the way, the medical team repeatedly 'lost' Tina - who was resuscitated a total of six times - and for a harrowing period of 27 whole minutes, she was officially deceased.
When she finally awoke, however, she immediately gestured for something she could write on, hoping to jot down her recollection of 'heaven'.
And out of the cryptic array of barely legible letters she scribbled down, Tina later revealed that she'd written: "It's real".
Anyone else got chills?
She later told AZ Family of her experience, describing it as 'so real', adding that she experienced a dazzling display of 'vibrant' colours, and that she came across a figure standing at a set of black gates behind where a bright white light was shining, whom she believed was Jesus Christ.
While skeptics and non-believers might struggle to know what exactly to do with Tina's near death experience and her journey to 'heaven', her family claim that the entire health scare has hugely consolidated their personal faith.
So much so, in fact, that her niece Maddie Johnson got a tattoo on her wrist that bore Tina's cryptically scribed message, in the hope that it'll be constant reminder of her own beliefs.
