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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
