Does Valhalla exist?
Many, Christians in particular, say it doesn't.
But I have news for you: It does.
People go there all the time.
People went there yesterday. People will go there today. People will go there tomorrow.
The concern, of course, is for all those who won't get to go there because, despite all the evidence for the existence of Valhalla, they still refuse to accept the reality of the situation and stubbornly refuse to bend their knee to the AllFather.
Of course, Odin can't allow such a slight to go unanswered, so all the non believers are not allowed in and must spend their eternities in the Frozen Wastes with Loki.
Now, others will cite yet other people for their experiences in the "afterlife".
I won't. I'll cite my own experiences.
After a serious motorcycle accident a number of years ago, my heart stopped beating for nearly two minutes. I found myself in a great hall surrounded by people from all over the world. I was greeted by the Lady Sif, who took me by the hand and showed me around Valhalla.
There was much eating and quaffing and making merry, but I heard wailing from outside and enquired with the Lady as to the source of the sound. She led me to the great doors and we looked outside. There, frozen as a sign to the others, were the figures of religious leaders, Popes and Bishops, Pastors and Imams, all screaming in their eternal torment that they would never be allowed to enter the Great Hall and bask before the AllFather's Might.
Then the Lady told me that now was not my time. But she promised me that my place was reserved.
So, please don't let Loki trick you into not believing in the AllFather.
