Can a paranormal investigator's near death experience prove what happens after we die?
What happens when someone addicted to opioids overdoses 12 times in one year, dies, and comes back with the ability to feel energy and communicate with the dead? AJ Capasso, paranormal investigator and founder of Talking with the Source podcast, shares his profound near death experience, the supernatural abilities he developed afterward, and the most compelling evidence he's captured investigating the paranormal.
About This Episode
AJ Capasso is a paranormal investigator, founder and host of Talking with the Source (an international paranormal podcast), and survivor of a life-changing near death experience. After fracturing his back and being prescribed opioids during the epidemic, AJ became addicted and experienced 12 overdoses in one year. His final overdose in 2014 led to a profound NDE where he left his body, experienced a life review, traveled through hyperspace, and encountered a vibrant afterlife with colors that don't exist on Earth, extinct animals, and beings of light. After returning, he developed abilities to feel energy, sense presences, and detect what people are feeling. He now leads Coventry Circle Paranormal and hosts a podcast featuring paranormal teams, researchers, and experiencers from around the world, combining scientific investigation with spiritual exploration.
In this conversation, we explore:
The Path to Near Death:
Fracturing his back and being prescribed opioids during the epidemic
Doctors cutting him off completely without explaining he was addicted to synthetic heroin
Switching from pills to heroin and mixing with Xanax
Experiencing 12 overdoses in one year before the final NDE in 2014
How addiction led him to the most transformative experience of his life
The Near Death Experience:
Leaving his body and standing above two paramedics working on him
Being able to exist in multiple places simultaneously just by thought
Listening to both paramedics' thoughts at the same time while comprehending everything
The out of body state like listening to all 12 tracks of a CD simultaneously and understanding each instrument
Feeling someone with him but not seeing anyone
The Life Review:
Getting judged by yourself, not by God, through the eyes of people you hurt
Feeling all the pain he inflicted on others no matter if he thought he was right or wrong
The story of Christine in fifth grade: her love letter read aloud by the teacher
Making fun of her to fit in with the popular group and feeling her pain during the life review
Contacting Christine a year ago to ask for forgiveness and her gracious response
The Afterlife Landscape:
Traveling through hyperspace like passing stars at incredible speed
A vibrant Canadian wilderness landscape untouched by man
Colors that don't exist on Earth and have never been replicated by artists
Flowers, plants, and animals he'd never seen before
Wooly mammoths, insectoid creatures, and species that never existed on Earth
Angels of all different sizes, some with wings and swords, some with futuristic features
A being of pure light 9-10 feet tall radiating blinding light
Just having a "knowing" about everything without needing to be told
The Message and Return:
The being of light saying "You're not supposed to be here, it's time to go"
Being sucked back down into his body when paramedics hit him with paddles
Waking up screaming and explaining everything to paramedics
Telling a paramedic something he shouldn't have known from when he was flatlined
The paramedic looking at his partner in awe
After Effects and Abilities:
Feeling energy and presences in rooms he couldn't see
Walking into a room and knowing exactly if people were hungry, angry, or sad
Feeling crystals vibrating in his hand (which vibrate according to physics)
Getting brain scans that all came back normal despite 15-16 minutes without oxygen
Flatlined for 1 minute 15 seconds but not breathing much longer
Abilities still present today: constantly feeling energy in rooms and coming off people
Early Supernatural Experiences:
At 18-19 hearing a voice tell him to lay hands on his aunt Nancy in the hospital
His aunt with 5% brain activity, stroke, and blood clot scheduled for morphine withdrawal
Praying over her with his uncle and a blonde nurse appearing who winked at him
His aunt waking up 100% fine, walking out of hospital, blood clot completely gone
No one at the hospital matching the description of the blonde nurse they both saw
Family Witnessing Full Apparition:
Waking up to a solid girl in white gown soaking wet with black hair over her face
Keeping a camera behind his bed due to increasing activity in the house
The girl dissipating like leaves blown in the wind piece by piece
Two weeks later at Sunday dinner: entire family feeling static electricity from toes to neck
The same girl appearing solid in beautiful Victorian dress with hair in a bun, smiling
She dissipated the same way in front of the whole family
Everyone rushing out, no more Sunday dinners after that
Paranormal Investigation Evidence:
Spirit box session for friend in UK whose wife died
Asking what sign would be definite for her husband Robin and kids
Clear voice saying "On Mother's Day, the crown" six weeks before UK Mother's Day
Family originally planning to go somewhere else entirely
Other people suggesting they visit London where the palace is on Mother's Day
Taking a picture with her ashes at the crown exactly as predicted
Recent session predicting niece's blood disease two days before doctors discovered it
Physics, Energy, and the Afterlife:
Nikola Tesla: "To find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration"
We are all consciousness energy, extensions of source energy (God)
Like droplets from a glass of water: we come from the same consciousness
The energy that created the universe is inside us allowing us to manifest reality
Positive attracts positive, negative attracts negative
Russian experiment encoding spiritual essence into computer zeros and ones
Tracking essence traveling faster than light to a galaxy 13.8 billion light years away
Matching his hyperspace travel experience during NDE
Key Quotes
"Being out of the body was like listening to a CD. In this physical plane we can listen to track one through 12. In the spiritual plane we can listen to track one through 12 all at once simultaneously, understanding each instrument. We could isolate anything we want. That's how powerful our thoughts are on the other side." - AJ Capasso
"The life review isn't getting judged by God. You're judging yourself based on the experience you had through the eyes and in the shoes of the other person you hurt. You feel all of their pain, everything you inflicted, whether you think you were right or wrong." - AJ Capasso
"The feeling of love that wrapped around me during that time was more than what a mother could give a baby, more than what a girlfriend can give a boyfriend for a first kiss. Love on this plane cannot match what is on the other side." - AJ Capasso
