Do you believe in life after death? Heaven? Hell? Pergatory? Is it possible to get to the very threshold of the great beyond and live to tell the tale?

Welcome to Strange and Unexplained with me, Daisy Egan. I'm a writer, an actor and a skeptic who is also really gullible, which makes it hard to keep an opinion for very long.

This week...

Who's there?

Uh, hey, God? I was just laying in a hospital bed. I don't know where I am.

Sorry, I'm busy. Just go back. I'll get to you later. Also, your grandmother says she knows you were the one who broke her chinable. She forgives you.

Now go back!

Near death experiences. Are they real? Today, I'll tell you three stories of people who insist they traveled to the very brink and back.

In 1991, 35-year-old singer-songwriter Pam Reynolds was in Virginia Beach promoting a new album when she very suddenly and very alarmingly forgot how to talk.

Like, one minute she was chatting away and the next minute she went to open her mouth and couldn't remember how to make words.

Turns out Pam had an aneurysm at the base of her brain, and for those of you, like me, who have heard and used the word aneurysm a million times without actually knowing what the fuck an aneurysm is,

an aneurysm is basically when an artery wall gets really thin and converse causing internal bleeding, which is very not good.

The most terrifying thing about an aneurysm is that you or I could be walking around with one as we speak, completely unaware. I swear to God our bodies are our worst enemies. Anyway.

Pam was suddenly like, how do I words and was rushed to a hospital where they found this leaking aneurysm on Pam's brain?

Her brain surgeon decided that the only way to operate on the aneurysm was to put her at a cardiac standstill. Basically, her heart had to be stopped so they could cut this artery without the blood pumping through it.

The piece on NPR about Pam said they drained her head of blood like draining oil out of a car engine, a description which is in my opinion excessive. Like we get it, they got all the blood out of her head.

Okay, so Pam is on ice, her head is bloodless, she is flatlined.

Her eyes are taped shut and just briefly here let's reflect on the fact that taping eyes shut is a regular step in major surgery because why?
