Are you aware of a documented Near death experience where a person claimed to see the devil?
If so would you provide the source to prove it.

This is often a medical school exercise.
The dying brain cells each create a spark as it dies..... many see a light that gets brighter. Some see other things in their experience....like fairies, or devils, or horses or whatever.....
If the brain recovers, the person remembers what they saw, and we call that a NDE......
If the brain does not recover, more and more of the cells die, until there are so few left that the patient falls into a coma.
When the circulation stops, the brain dies....... The body/brain does not die all at once.
Consciousness is the first to go, and parts of the brain that keep the heart beating, and the diaphragm working, are some of the last.
Kidneys can live for several hours if cooled, etc., etc.
The "devil" is simply a myth. But if someone not too swift was hammered with this silly imaginary being, they may indeed see a dude in a red suit carrying a pitch fork, and had horns,,,,, who knows?

There are hundreds, if not thousands of claims of people seeing "Hell" during their NDE.
They did a whole show on those back in the early 2000's on something like Unsolved Mysteries or one of those paranormal nonsense shows.
I'll see if I can find a link or two.

Lots of people hit their head and see visions of angels, but what about the dark side? Journeys to the devil’s domain are more common than you might think.

Just remember that these "Experiences" can be easily replicated in healthy people by stimulating the brain to work in abnormal ways, putting people in an Air Force Training Centrifuge, or by giving people Nitrogen to breath until they enter an altered state.
Sites like "The Forbidden Knowledge" and "Near-Death.com" are not objectuve sources... They're the NDE equivalent of "Natural News".
They're made by con artists to get people to buy their books, seminars, treatments, etc. and are visited by mentally ill people or those that happened to have had traumatic brain injury.
People, when they experience these altered states, magically experience what their culture, cult, or interests in fiction train them to see...
Christians see christian iconography...
Muslims see islamic iconography...
Hindus see hindu iconography...
Atheists see whatever is the main theme in their culture or aliens etc.
It's like Sleep Paralysis...
Sci-Fi fans see aliens in the room with them or sitting on their chests while christians see demons and Africans see witches... Their cultural indoctrination directly impacts their experiences and each hallucination is different.

None, but I have read NDEs where the person claims to have gone to hell. I could provide a link, but a simple google search will easily find it.
Not sure how much weight I would put on NDEs, but then again, if you are wondering what happens after death, then simply accepting no existence as opposed to the testimony of people who have died, seems really silly to me.

Yes, there are such. Here are a few instances. They are less common than the positive experiences.

Just look up "near death experiences of the devil" or "near death experiences of hell."

Out of 10 MILLION, there should be some, but the ones I have read about Atheists see and feel demons when they're in Hell.

I am unaware of any scientifically verified documented NDEs!
