After nearly dying from cancer complications, skeptic and comedian Shane Thede found himself facing something he never believed in - a haunting that defied logical explanation.
Shane's journey begins with tragedy when his mother passes away in his arms. Months later, diagnosed with late-stage multiple myeloma, he's hospitalized in critical condition. During those dark days between life and death, strange things start happening. Someone – or something – sits on his bed, shakes him awake before nurses arrive, and even crawls across his hospital sheets. The true mystery begins when these unexplained events follow him home.
From a fireplace that suddenly works after months of being broken, to his deceased mother's phone powering on without a charge, the phenomena escalate. When a heavy sewing kit comes crashing down the stairs at 5 AM, Shane can no longer dismiss what's happening. Is it his mother's spirit, unsettled by his father's quick relationship with a new woman? Or perhaps an entity that attached itself to Shane during his brush with death?
What makes Shane's testimony compelling is his continued skepticism despite mounting evidence. "I don't believe in all this mumbo jumbo," he insists, while simultaneously admitting he can't explain what's happening. His scientific mindset collides with unexplainable reality, creating a fascinating exploration of what happens when a non-believer experiences the paranormal firsthand.
Through it all, Shane maintains remarkable positivity despite his ongoing cancer battle, reminding us that whether facing supernatural phenomena or life-threatening illness, sometimes the best approach is simple acknowledgment: "I'm here for a good time, not a long time."
