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

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. ________________________ Get 15% off OneSkin with code ROUNDTRIP at https://www.oneskin.co/ROUNDTRIP #oneskinpod #sponsored __________________________ 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.

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

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.

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

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.

Died 5 Times During 33 Day Coma

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.

"I Just Knew It Was Jesus"

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. ________________________ Get 15% off OneSkin with code ROUNDTRIP at https://www.oneskin.co/ROUNDTRIP #oneskinpod #sponsored __________________________ 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.

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

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.

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

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.

"Jesus Held My Hand"

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. ___________________ Birch Natural Mattresses Podcast Listeners Receive 20% OFF BirchLiving.com/Roundtrip ____________________ 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.

Marine Biologist Has 4 NDE's - "I Am Home"

What happens when a three-year-old drowns, sees her own lifeless eyes staring up at her, and consciously chooses not to return to her body? In this episode of Round Trip Death, host Eric Bennett sits down with marine scientist Dr. Ingrid Honkala,PhD to unpack a lifetime shadowed — and illuminated — by death. ________________________ Get 15% off OneSkin with code ROUNDTRIP at https://www.oneskin.co/ROUNDTRIP #oneskinpod #sponsored __________________________ 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.
