He told Daily Star: ‘I just remember closing my eyes because I was sick. And then when I opened my eyes back up, I was in this night sky. It was the most beautiful, velvety, silky night sky.
‘No clouds. No stars. No nothing. And there wasn’t a beginning or end to it.’
Mr Hanzel said he became aware of two ‘beings’, one on each side of him, who felt familiar and helped him navigate his new environment.
They showed him ‘the most beautiful, golden-white light’ surrounded by angels and ‘everything’ was travelling towards it.
Mr Hanzel claims the angels took him to a bar, which had ‘beautiful coloured bottles’ but no alcohol.
He believes this vision occurred because you see ‘whatever you’re comfortable with’ after dying.
[Ahem. A pub with no alcohol? Is he sure this was *heaven*? Kidding! I kid, I kid. I think this is more properly called a “dream” rather than a legit after-life experience. — Ed]
