This prompt is somewhat unclear. One way to interpret it is that the claim in question is whether Charlotte Holmes says she says visited both Heaven and Hell. The second interpretation is that the claim is whether or not she actually did visit Heaven and Hell. Evaluations of both interpretations are below. 

1) Charlotte Holmes says she visited Heaven and Hell while clinically dead: True

  • The article cites an interview from the Christian talk show "The 700 Club," in which the interviewee, Charlotte Holmes, describes seeing both Heaven and Hell while she was clinically dead for 11 minutes after a stroke. Other outlets, including News18 and Daily Mail, also reported on the incident, so it's evident that Holmes did in fact make this claim. 

2) Charlotte Holmes visited Heaven and Hell while clinically dead: Opinion.

  • There's no way to prove whether Holmes truly saw what she claimed she did, nor can the reality of that experience be verified. It's up to anyone who sees the claim to interpret it. Those interpretations will likely vary based on one's experiences and belief systems. 
Can't be true or false (Opinion, poem, etc.)
