Summary

Haunted with Jake Haendel of Blink Life can be stranger than fiction, and that’s why our guest this month is a perfect addition to the weird world of Two Girls One Ghost! Corinne’s co-creator and subject of the podcast Blink, Jake Haendel, joins us to share some supernatural elements of his story. Blink tells the unbelievable true story of Jake, a former chef and drug dealer who, after battling addiction, was diagnosed with an ultra-rare and terminal brain disease. Given just months to live, Jake defied all odds and became the only known survivor. But his journey didn’t end there. While in a coma-like state, Jake experienced what can only be described as out-of-body experiences, eerie premonitions, and consciousness beyond medical explanation. Were these hallucinations, or did he tap into something more? Jake recounts his past, the supernatural elements of his survival, and the mind-bending questions about consciousness, life, and death. Join us as we uncover the story that’s part medical mystery, part paranormal enigma, and entirely unforgettable. Listen to Blink: Jake Haendel’s Story wherever you listen to podcasts.
