Summary

So... you almost died. Or you technically did—for a moment. And then came the tunnel, the music, the relatives made of light, the surgeons flapping like chickens, or the sudden drop into a shadowy void full of screaming. Welcome to the Fresh Hell guide to near-death experiences. In this episode we explore what happens when people come this close to the other side. We cover ancient NDE accounts from Plato and Native American oral histories, the groundbreaking research of Kenneth Ring and Bruce Greyson, the famous Pam Reynolds and Vicki “born blind” case studies, and even some truly baffling hellish experiences. We also take a look at the scientific theories...everything from DMT to dying brain activity! And we ask: why do people from all over the world report such similar things? near death experiences, NDE, Pam Reynolds, Vicki blind NDE, Kenneth Ring, Bruce Greyson, veridical NDE, scientific theories NDE, DMT, tunnel of light, out of body experience, Vicki Noratuk, The Good Place, hellish NDE, positive NDE, life review, near death podcast, ancient NDE accounts, Plato NDE, Native American NDE, near death research, death and dying, Fresh Hell Podcast, what happens when you almost die, death experience science, NDE case studies, spiritual near death, brain death, cardiac arrest NDE Learn more about your ad choices.
