Marine Biologist Has 4 NDE's - "I Am Home"
6d ago00:51:03Tap to summarizeWhat 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 ROUNDTRIPat 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.VIDEO VERSIONRoundTripDeath.comDonate to this podcast: https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/Ingrid: https://www.ingridhonkala.com/

In this jaw-dropping episode of Round Trip Death, guest Cedar Branches takes us deep into an extraordinary Near Death Experience that defies belief: a deliberate leap off a bridge during a spiritual crisis, followed by what he calls a full-on resurrection. ______________________Get 15% off OneSkin with code ROUNDTRIPat https://www.oneskin.co/ROUNDTRIP#oneskinpod #sponsored__________________________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.Note: this episode discusses suicide and self-harm.

Stephen's Motorcycle Accident Leads to NDE in 3 Week Coma
3w ago00:44:42Tap to summarizeOn 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.

Jane Falls 1,000' Base Jumping - NDE Follows
4w ago00:42:22Tap to summarizeIn 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. ___________________Birch Natural MattressesPodcast Listeners Receive 27% OFFBirchLiving.com/Roundtrip____________________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.Video Version of This EpisodeRoundTripDeath.comDonate to this podcast: https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/Jane: https://jane-osborne.com/

Bubba's NDE: Dies From Anesthesia - Meets Stepfather
Jul 600:31:03Tap to summarizeHeavenly Basketball Game With Stepdad!What really happens in the moments after your heart stops? This episode of Round Trip Death brings together two guests with strikingly different connections to the same profound mystery: the near death experience.________________________Get 15% off OneSkin with code ROUNDTRIPat https://www.oneskin.co/ROUNDTRIP#oneskinpod #sponsored__________________________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?VIDEO VERSIONRoundTripDeath.comDonate to this podcast: https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/Makai's Film "Final Hours": https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/final-hours-is-death-really-the-end-6027582

Claudia's NDE Followed Death In Childbirth
Jun 2900:44:11Tap to summarizeShe 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.VIDEO VERSIONRoundTripDeath.comDonate to this podcast: https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/https://claudiaedge.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Dying-SPIRIT-SCHOOL-Curriculum-Teachers/dp/0999463551/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3DL6RK10WBYN2&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.HSVYyuBr1b-GJo0Ckg4qfO1qdQypHIFWHemFAFXg8rjGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.uUdTEwKLHIB-mwrhUYIYZ5TiO9Qfaf44LvaO43DpbiY&dib_tag=se&keywords=dying%2Bto%2Bgo%2Bto%2Bspirit%2Bschool&qid=1782757102&sprefix=dying%2Bto%2Bgo%2Bto%2Bspirit%2Bschool%2Caps%2C276&sr=8-1#

Jun 2200:55:07Tap to summarizeAt age four, Scarlett Heinbuch drowned in a pool—and watched her own body sink while her spirit hovered nearby in a state of overwhelming love. This NDE (Near Death Experience) changed her, and the trajectory of her life.________________________Get 15% off OneSkin with code ROUNDTRIPat https://www.oneskin.co/ROUNDTRIP#oneskinpod #sponsored__________________________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.VIDEO VERSIONRoundTripDeath.comDonate to this podcast: https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/OneSkin Study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38400612/https://scarlettheinbuch.com/"We Met On the Other Side" https://www.amazon.com/We-Met-Other-Side-Story/dp/B0C47YVWDK/

"I Saw God and Jesus" - Lynn's NDE - Drowned While Surfing
Jun 1500:44:52Tap to summarizeIn this powerful episode, host Eric Bennett welcomes Lynn Arches-Rappaport, a Massachusetts teacher and grandmother, who shares her Near Death Experience (NDE) from nearly 50 years ago. While surfing in Puerto Rico, Lynn was caught in a brutal set of waves, slammed against a reef covered in sea urchins, and began drowning. At the moment she feared she wouldn't survive, she was pulled out of her body. ___________________Birch Natural MattressesPodcast Listeners Receive 20% - 30% OFFBirchLiving.com/Roundtrip____________________Her NDE included a vivid life review, a tunnel with a shadowy being, a welcoming group of entities, and the presence of both her deceased father, Jesus, and God, all bathed in an overwhelming sense of pure love and warmth unlike anything she had known on earth. Lynn describes her Near Death Experience as "more real than real" — a state of unconditional love so complete that it transformed her understanding of life, death, and her difficult childhood. She returned from her NDE with a mission to share her story and has since written a memoir, Entangled. Lynn also discusses the life lessons she believes souls choose before birth, and why she no longer fears death — viewing it instead as a homecoming to a place of permanent, boundless love.

Renee's NDE at 5 - "I Was Moving Up Into The Sky"
Jun 800:37:07Tap to summarize*Warning: Contains Some Discussion of AbuseNot all NDEs come from happy places. When Renee Christine Martine was five years old, her father — a former member of the White Fence Gang hiding from the Mexican mafia behind a Jehovah's Witness conversion — came home in a rage and sent a tent pole into her face.Thirty-one stitches, a 45-minute drive bleeding out in a station wagon, and something else: floating above the farm looking down, a mysterious woman no one else could see, and absolute love and peace on the other side of it all.She has no paper that says she died. She doesn't need one for us to know it was a near death experience (NDE). What she came back with — apparitions appearing in her bedroom, premonitions that spooked her parents, a ghost in a pea coat outside her window at 16, and a lifelong magnetism for paranormal phenomena — made it pretty clear something had shifted permanently.Video Version of This EpisodeRoundTripDeath.comDonate to this podcast: https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/Renee: https://reneemartine.com/

"I Looked Into My Own Eyes" - Michael's NDE
Jun 100:47:52Tap to summarizeMichael Florman died eight times. A cardiac arrest on the way to work launched him into one of the most vivid NDE experiences ever described — leaving his body, floating above paramedics, racing through a glowing valley, and entering a dark, peaceful void filled with unconditional love and acceptance. His near death experience even included a life review where he felt the emotional impact of his actions on others, all before being violently shocked back to life mid-NDE.But coming back wasn't easy. Heightened empathy, memory loss, and years of depression followed as Michael struggled to find meaning in ordinary life after experiencing something extraordinary. His message to anyone fearing death? You are not your body — you're the energy inside it, and that energy never dies. A must-listen episode.Video Version of This EpisodeRoundTripDeath.comDonate to this podcast: https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/Michael: https://michaelflorman.com/
