Marietta Davis fell into a trance at age twenty-five that lasted nine days.

She experienced a vision that made her a legend. When she finally regained consciousness she described with extraordinary graphic detail scenes of how angels had conducted her spirit to heaven and hell.

Marietta made it clear that her vision was given for her to tell the world so people could prepare for the afterlife.
