The person was a college student who experienced a near-death experience (NDE) after dabbling in the occult. They bought a doll that they believed was spiritually imbued. During the experience, they saw a red orb of light and felt a force pushing them down. They also encountered a dark outline that they interpreted as a demon. After this, they felt a spiritual loneliness and sought connection with God. The NDE led to a transformation in their life, resulting in a newfound faith in Christianity and a desire to pursue a deeper relationship with God.
