Why are stories of survival and close encounters with death so fascinating to us? Is it because it helps us appreciate the fragility of humans and our time on this planet? Maybe it’s because we all seek to understand what happens to us after we die, and we think stories from survivors can provide clues to what awaits us all? Whatever our reasoning, it’s clear we find these stories fascinating. In this episode, we talk about some of the strangest stories of survival we could find. While a bit ambitious, we also wanted to talk about near death experiences and explore what, if anything, happens in the human mind after clinical death. If you listen to this and have your own story to share, please reach out to us! We’d love to feature you on a follow up episode!
