  1. NDEs, Death-Bed Visions, OBEs, Evidence Death Isn't The End

    Season 5, Episode 644

    Show notes

    OK, is it even possible to 'prove' the existence of an afterlife? Or is that even the most important question here?

    Admir Serrano began as a hardcore skeptic, but out-of-body experiences sent him down a path of studying near-death experiences (NDEs), writing eight books, and volunteering three years with hospice patients.

    At the bedside, he says, he saw what the research describes: lucid, unmedicated people greeting long-dead loved ones who’ve come to “take them home,” hearing angels sing, and, in cases of terminal lucidity, emerging from years of dementia to say goodbye.

    One memory haunts him: a paralyzed ALS patient who locked his eyes on an empty corner of the room, face lit with ecstasy, and slowly spelled out two letters: G-O.

    The NDEs and Death-bed Visions only get more remarkable. A dying five-year-old floats his mother to the mouth of a tunnel and tells her she can go no further. Serrano’s comatose cousin wanders the ICU outside her body, tethered by a silver cord. And Serrano himself projects to his sister’s bedroom, sees her head wrapped in a white bandage, and years later finds her wearing exactly that during a migraine.

    For him, it all points one way: consciousness survives death. Skeptics would disagree, but host Eric Bennett leaves listeners with a lingering question: what if we don’t have to die to discover we’re immortal?

  2. Flatlined Twice - Then Heard God's Voice

    Season 5, Episode 643

    Show notes

    Samuel George was pronounced dead for roughly 45 minutes by his own account. Yet he says he never lost awareness.

    This is a Near Death Experience (NDE) with no tunnel, no light and no dead relatives. He saw nothing at all, only heard everything, and felt a peace he calls absolute love. Then a voice asked him a question.

    The Story

    In February 2023, Sam was in a Florida trap house, using cocaine from a pipe. He thinks the substance he took was laced with opiates, and he collapsed. When medics arrived, he had no pulse, no blood pressure and no vitals. Four doses of Narcan and CPR did nothing.

    But Wait There's More

    Three months later, a Jeep traveling 55 mph hit Sam from behind while he was on his bike. He broke his back and six ribs and split his head open. As medics worked on him, he heard them say they might not get a helicopter in the air. He blacked out, this time with no sound or sight, and woke to a paramedic asking, “Do you want to live?”

    ______________

    Widowed by her husband’s sudden suicide and in deep despair, she describes floating into blackness, meeting a vast feminine presence who told her, “I’m the original,” and being washed in white mist before choosing to return.

    Her NDE experience had no tunnel or chimes, only wit, wholeness, and the message that God loves us as we are. Afterward, doctors found no heart or brain damage, and a second biopsy found no trace of her stage-two cancer.

    The conversation also explores the stigma suicide loss survivors face, their heightened risk, and how society often blames them instead of supporting them.

    A raw, funny, and moving listen for anyone curious about near death experiences (NDEs).

    If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) in the U.S.

    Show notes

    To mark the show’s 250th episode (in 4.5 years), host Eric Bennett is joined for the first time by his son Will, who edits the podcast and works behind the scenes.

    They look back on what they have learned from more than 250 interviews with people who have had a Near Death Experience. They also address listener feedback and the show’s future, which will include Will doing some of the interviews, a possible subscription option, and improvements from listener feedback.

    Among other topics, Eric & Will discuss common themes among NDEs, hellish experiences, how to tell the authenticity of near death experiences, God's unconditional love, and how NDE Experiencers no longer fear death.

  5. 250th Episode! Vinney Tolman's NDE While Dead for 1.5 Hours

    Season 5, Episode 640

    Show notes

    Declared dead, zipped into a body bag, and headed for the morgue: that's where Vinney Tolman's NDE Experience begins.

    After accidentally overdosing on a supplement, Vinney collapsed in a locked Dairy Queen bathroom in Orem, Utah, and was found cold to the touch. Then a rookie medic broke protocol, ripped open the bag, and shocked his heart back to life just feet from the hospital doors, with Vinney floating above it all.

    He saw golden light glow around the rookie's heart. Host Eric Bennett calls it one of the most amazing NDE stories he's ever heard.

    Vinney's Near Death Experience carried him through a life review, a radiant guide, angels, and a heaven where every blade of grass poured out more love than all the parents on earth combined.

    After three days brain dead, he woke at 1:11 a.m., tore off life support, and sent two nurses screaming as he hit the elevator button, determined to go home. Hours later, he was out jogging!

    This is one of the most remarkable NDE (near death experiences) you will ever hear.

  6. A Message For US As a Species - Crystal's NDE

    Season 5, Episode 639

    Show notes

    When Science Meets Spirit: A Near Death Experience That Bridges Two Worlds.

    Biochemist, cancer researcher, and lifelong martial artist Crystal Cassidy joins host, Eric Bennett to share an NDE experience that began in March 2020.

    After months of premonitions, she became critically ill with COVID, was hospitalized in isolation, and had to say goodbye to her husband. As a cytokine storm took hold and her nervous system began to fail, she reached a moment of deep surrender, "a giving over" rather than giving up. In response, a "loving intelligence" arrived and activated her energy centers, and she found herself back in her body without pain.

    Crystal's near death experience took an unusual turn when she began seeing glimpses of a medieval man's life, which she believes was a past life or a simultaneous timeline. She describes how her own healing seemed to change his story.

    Crystal also explains how her analytical, scientific mind has come to reconcile with her spiritual experiences, why she thinks science and spirituality are converging, and how people can lessen their fear of death through meditation and direct experience.

  7. He Said, "Open Your Eyes" - Elena Wakes After NDE And 8.5 Years Catatonic

    Season 5, Episode 638

    Show notes

    Is this an NDE? You Decide...

    What if you spent eight and a half years trapped inside a body you no longer recognized—and then, in a moment when doctors thought you were gone, something brought you back?

    Elena’s story begins with a devastating head injury, years of unexplained symptoms, and a family desperately searching for answers. Then, during a medical crisis, everything suddenly changes. After an unexpected response to treatment, Elena begins remembering things she hadn’t been able to remember in years—and tells her daughter about an experience that she insists was not a dream.

    During her NDE, she heard thunder. She found herself in complete darkness. Then a voice spoke to her, telling her, “I am your Father,” and promising to wake her up. What happened next left Elena convinced she had encountered God—and that she had been given another chance for a reason.

    Was it an NDE, a dream, a neurological event, or something far more mysterious? In this unforgettable episode, Ricky and Elena share a deeply personal Near Death Experience, the strange details surrounding it, and the remarkable journey that followed.

    It’s an NDE Experience that raises some big questions about consciousness, faith, miracles, and what might happen when we reach the edge of life.

  8. Died 5 Times During 33 Day Coma

    Season 5, Episode 637

    Show notes

    Rickey visited heaven & hell, then "God raised me up and gave me a second chance."

    Grammy-connected producer Rickey "Slikk Muzik" Offord — the sound behind Janet Jackson, J.Lo, Ariana Grande, and Kanye West — has a story he doesn't often tell.

    His NDE experience began ten years ago, whe was pronounced dead for 45 minutes. His heart stopped. Doctors cut his clothes and worked on his body while he watched from somewhere else entirely, wrapped in a peace he says defies description.

    He crossed into a place with an endless line, a gate he instinctively knew not to pass, and a presence he never saw but undeniably felt.

    But that's only half of what happened in his Near Death Experience. Ricky also went somewhere darker — a fire-and-brimstone reckoning, a disorienting void where nothing and everything existed at once.

    On this episode of Round Trip Death, he walks host Eric Bennett through both sides of his NDE: the heaven, the hell, and the lessons buried in each. It's a haunting, deeply personal account of what waits on the other side — and why he believes he was sent back to tell it.

    Season 5, Episode 636

    Show notes

    It was an "amazing, freeing, gravity-defying feeling!"

    His heart stopped for a reason no one can explain. Air Force veteran Chase DeMayo flatlined in a Virginia hospital in 2008 — and what happened next still can't be fully accounted for.

    A stranger's hand on his arm that vanished when he turned to look. A garden with colors that don't exist on Earth. A face he recognized instantly, though nothing like what he'd been taught to expect. Was it really Jesus?

    This is an NDE unlike the others you've heard — equal parts bliss and mystery, backed by a man who spent years trying to prove it happened, only to find the proof quietly disappearing.

    In this episode of Round Trip Death, Chase shares his Near Death Experience in vivid, unsettling detail: watching his own body flatline from the inside, the childlike figure he encountered on the other side, and the three-word instruction he says he was sent back to carry out.

    It's a story about what waits on the other side of a heartbeat — and about what happens when a near-death experience refuses to stay buried, even when the paperwork says it never occurred.

    Whether you come to this as a skeptic or a believer, Chase's NDE experience raises the kind of questions that don't have tidy answers.

  10. "I Saw HIS Hand" - Proof of Greg's NDE

    Season 5, Episode 635

    Show notes

    He flatlined for 45 minutes — and what he found on the other side still doesn't fit inside any single religion, language, or science.

    In this episode of Round Trip Death, host Eric Bennett welcomes back Greg Hman, whose original NDE account became one of the show's most talked-about episodes, for a deeper follow-up.

    Greg reveals newly surfaced memories: a colossal hand looming over the Earth, witnessed by both him and his brother; a being of light he now believes defies the word "angel"; and Gods (both male and female) he experienced not as a face, but as a river of pure information speaking in sound rather than words.

    Greg doesn't claim to have all the answers. But his NDE Experience left him certain of two things: God is real, and he judges the heart.

  11. NDEs: More Questions Than Answers

    Season 5, Episode 34

    What happens when love becomes so pure that missing someone is no longer possible?

    In this episode of Round Trip Death, host Eric Bennett talks with author and spiritual teacher Darnella Ford.

    Darnella recounts losing her best friend to lupus — a chilling premonition, an eerie final text, a shared death experience (SDE), and a visitation where her friend walked through a wall to say: stop crying.

    Even more striking is her account of being pulled into the realm where her friend now exists, discovering that some deeply human emotions, like missing someone, simply don't exist there.

    This isn't just another NDE Experience story — it's a look at the bigger questions a Near Death Experience forces us to ask: Is death timed and orchestrated, or random? Do we truly have free will, or are we running on autopilot and childhood programming?

    Darnella and Eric debate predestination versus agency and what it means to "win" against death, leaving plenty of room for skepticism.

  12. "I Saw A Shimmering City" - Aaron's NDE

    Season 5, Episode 633

    Show notes

    Aaron tells his story publicly for the first time.

    At eight years old, Aaron Gould was dying of pneumonia in a California hospital, his body withering away under a doctors' pronouncement that nothing more could be done.

    Instead of the ending his family braced for, Aaron slipped into a full-blown Near Death Experience — pulled through a tunnel of light into a shimmering, alive darkness, greeted by a tree, a "glass house" city humming with warmth, and a being he calls the Mother of Creation.

    In this episode of Round Trip Death, Aaron walks host Eric Bennett through the sensory overload of his NDE Experience: water he could hear but not see, a path that lit up beneath his feet, and a profound, wordless conversation at the top of a staircase where he was told, simply, that it wasn't yet his time.

    From a childhood NDE to a decades-later spiritual awakening that reshaped his faith, Aaron's Near Death Experience raises haunting questions about what waits on the other side — and why some of us are sent back.

    Tune in for a rare, unpolished, first-time telling of an NDE experience that's stayed with him for over thirty years.

    A horrific auto accident takes the lives of 2 of Julie's children, and sends her to the hospital in and out of consciousness.

    In that space between life and death, Julie Cluff found herself standing face-to-face with Jesus in a peaceful mountain meadow — while back in her body, doctors fought to save her and she didn't yet know her two youngest children, Carrie and David, hadn't survived the same Mother's Day car accident.

    In this gripping episode of Round Trip Death, Julie takes host Eric Bennett through the harrowing rollover crash, the calm voice that told her "bring your arm in" moments before impact, and the profound NDE/OBE that unfolded as she lay in the ER unsure if her kids were alive.

    It's a Near Death Experience unlike most — one born not from her own dying, but from a mother's unbearable loss, and the otherworldly peace that met her in the wreckage of it.

    What follows is even more startling: how a single Near Death Experience cracked open a hidden gift.

    Now a spiritual medium, Julie explains how she still communicates with Carrie and David, why she believes their short lives were part of a plan made before birth, and what she'd say to any parent drowning in grief today.

    If you've ever wondered what a Near Death Experience or NDE Experience can reveal about love, loss, and what waits on the other side, this conversation will stay with you long after it ends.

    Her first Near Death Experience unfolds like a fever dream: frigid water, crushing terror, then a collapse into silence so profound she spent her childhood trying to recapture it. She floats above her drowned body, chases bubbles made of light, and watches her mother's intuition pull her back from the brink — an NDE Experience so vivid it gets verified years later, down to the exact soap opera playing at the moment of her "return."

    But one NDE wasn't the end — it was only the beginning.

    Equal parts scientific rigor and mystical testimony, this NDE closes a decades-long ache — and leaves listeners questioning where science ends and spirit begins.

    This isn't just any NDE Experience — Cedar describes crossing into an infinite sea of unconditional love, a place that felt like "home," before being sent back with three electrifying messages from Spirit: it takes more courage to live than to die, we can affect far more in life than in death, and his work on Earth wasn't finished yet.

    From a corporate career at Microsoft to starvation-induced visions to a literal bridge jump, Cedar's journey is one of the most intense NDE stories you'll hear — raw, unfiltered, and unapologetically real.

    This is an NDE story about suffering, transformation, and the electrifying truth waiting on the other side. Don't miss this one.

  16. Stephen's Motorcycle Accident Leads to NDE in 3 Week Coma

    Season 5, Episode 629

    Show notes

    On a quiet spring afternoon in 2015, retired IT engineer and lifelong Harley rider Stephen Weber never imagined a ride to a Hamptons barbecue joint would end with him airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital, his heart momentarily stopped.

    What followed was a three-week coma and a near-death experience so vivid his own physician called his chart an autopsy report. But for Weber, the real story was what came next: a timeless realm he calls "the place between here and there."

    It was the first lesson in an NDE that would rewire everything he thought he knew about existence.

    What unfolded next was a recursive, aching life review — Weber reliving his own history again and again, each pass peeling back another layer, until his most painful memories became his most peaceful ones.

    He stood before his higher self and realized he wasn't there to teach a lesson but to learn one — that souls prepare for incarnation, that spirit never truly begins or ends.

    In the experience's final scene, he sat at a sunlit bluff with two old friends, only to realize they had already died — they'd come simply to check on him. When he opened his eyes, his mother was gripping his hand in a hospital room.

  17. Jane Falls 1,000' Base Jumping - NDE Follows

    Season 5, Episode 628

    Show notes

    In this gripping episode of Round Trip Death, host Eric Bennett sits down with Jane Osborne, a former outdoor pursuits instructor from Derbyshire, England, to unpack a base jumping accident that killed her.

    What began as a routine flight to capture aerial photography turned catastrophic when her emergency parachute malfunctioned and deployed alongside her main chute at 1,500 feet, sending her plummeting and slamming into the rocky terrain of Kat's Tor.

    ____________________

    Jane recounts the harrowing physical toll in visceral detail — broken bones throughout her body, a crushed spine, and a neck broken in two places — along with a devastating prognosis from doctors that she would never walk again. It's a survival story almost too intense to believe, setting the stage for the extraordinary NDE experience that followed.

    What elevates this conversation beyond a simple accident story is Jane's account of her Near Death Experience while lying in her hospital bed, feeling trapped in what she calls a "body coffin." After crying out for help, she describes floating above her own body, hearing an authoritative voice tell her she needed to go back and heal others — a message that clashed with her law career ambitions and skeptical, fact-driven mindset.

    Her NDE didn't end there; she describes bizarre out-of-body travels, heightened senses, and a years-long recovery that led her into past-life regression and energy healing work.

    Listeners fascinated by NDE accounts, unexplained phenomena, and the intersection of trauma and spiritual awakening will find Jane's raw, unfiltered storytelling — paired with her later work helping others uncover the root causes of their own physical and emotional struggles — a genuinely compelling listen.

    Host Eric sits down with Makai Calles — a journalist turned filmmaker who himself had a childhood NDE after a venomous scorpion sting in Mexico — and Bubba Herrick, a former college baseball pitcher whose routine elbow surgery turned into a full-blown clinical death.

    Makai wrote and hosted the new documentary Final Hours, and his own near-death experience as a seven-year-old set him on a lifelong path of investigating others' stories, including Bubba's.

    Bubba's account is the heart of this episode — and it's a wild one. After an allergic reaction to anesthesia stopped his heart on the operating table, he describes floating above his own body, undergoing an intense 360-degree life review filled with guilt and unexpected anger at himself, and then being pulled into a breathtaking realm of pure light.

    There, his deceased stepfather appears — not with words, but with a basketball, recreating a childhood memory in real time. Their telepathic "game" becomes the vehicle for a message about purpose, responsibility, and reluctant return.

    The conversation digs into why so many NDE experiencers report depression and grief after coming back, how life priorities shift dramatically post-experience (career changes, fading fears, even divorce), and why guilt-driven life reviews like Bubba's are actually the exception rather than the rule.

    Equal parts eerie, emotional, and hopeful, this episode asks the big question the show is built around: if these accounts are real, what do they tell us about fear, death, and how we're meant to live right now?

  19. Claudia's NDE Followed Death In Childbirth

    Season 5, Episode 626

    Show notes

    She died for 45 minutes... and saw nothing but darkness. So why did it feel like Heaven?

    In this episode, Claudia Edge recounts the most harrowing night of her life — bleeding out from a placental rupture while giving birth to her fifth child, as doctors raced to save her baby while her own heart stopped.

    What followed wasn't the typical tunnel-of-light NDE. Instead, Claudia floated through the hospital watching her own resuscitation, then crossed into an infinite, pitch-black space she insists wasn't a void — it was absolute love, a feeling so complete she calls it being "swaddled" by the universe.

    No tunnel, no relatives waiting for her — just overwhelming peace, until a nurse's voice pulled her back.

    Claudia also shares things she's never discussed publicly: encounters with benevolent extraterrestrials, ongoing afterlife communication with her late sister and mother, "pre-life planning" of our hardest struggles, and an intimate vision of Jesus as a playful big brother rather than a figure to worship.

    Skeptic or seeker, this is one of the most unconventional NDE stories we've featured — and barely scratches the surface of her new book.

    __________________________

    During her NDE Experience, she chose to come back for her mother's sake, but the door between worlds never fully closed, leaving her with a lifetime of precognitive dreams, remote viewing, and unexplained phenomena she spent decades researching just to feel sane.

    Then in 2005, a stranger asked her to pray over her dying son, David, who was comatose with destroyed kidneys and a grim prognosis. Scarlett experienced a shared near-death experience (SNDE) with him—recognizing his soul in a field of light—then later saw towering blue "healing beings" performing what looked like a holographic kidney transplant at his bedside. David's kidneys, supposedly damaged beyond repair, fully recovered.

    The two strangers married a year later, and Scarlett now researches others who've encountered the same mysterious blue figures.
