    The Pause Between Heartbeats - The Mortals

    🔥 Two Unbelievable Near-Death Stories That Defy Explanation! 🔥
    Welcome to The Mortals, where we tear down the walls between life, death, and the eerie in-between. In this chilling episode, "The Pause Between Heartbeats," host Nathan Morris dives into two lesser-known, true near-death experiences that will leave you questioning reality itself.

    💀 Story 1: The Elevator Man Who 'Died' Between Floors
    In 2004, Brooklyn electrician Nicholas Sandoval was crushed in a freak elevator shaft accident—declared dead for 30 minutes. But then, a twitch. He came back… with a haunting vision of a woman in blue whispering, “You’re not supposed to go yet.” Who was she? And how did he survive the impossible?

    ⚰️ Story 2: The Dishwasher Who Woke Up in the Morgue
    In 1993, Atlanta mother Carmella Richards collapsed on the job, pronounced dead, and placed in cold storage. Over 2 hours later, she awoke in a morgue tray, gasping for air, with memories of a gray limbo and a mysterious figure questioning her identity. What pulled her back from the void?

    🌀 These aren’t just survival tales—they’re puzzles of the unexplainable. Were these interventions by unseen forces, or tricks of a dying mind? Join us as we linger in the pause between heartbeats, where death leaves the door ajar.
