Art Bell welcomes Dr. Carla Wills-Brandon, a licensed therapist and author, to discuss the phenomenon of deathbed visions. Unlike near-death experiences, deathbed visions occur specifically when a person is actively passing, often involving visitations from deceased relatives who appear with the purpose of easing the transition into death. Dr. Wills-Brandon shares her research, which draws on thousands of accounts spanning decades.

The conversation examines the consistency of these visions across cultures, ages, and belief systems. Patients who are fully lucid and unmedicated report speaking with departed loved ones, sometimes identifying relatives whose deaths they had not been told about. Art shares his own experience of intuitively knowing the moment his father passed. Dr. Wills-Brandon also describes the "deathbed stare," where dying individuals appear to track invisible presences in the room, and cases where caregivers witness something leaving the body at the moment of death.

The episode also features an opening segment with members of the Playboy Xtreme Team, who recount their harrowing experience completing the Eco Challenge endurance race in Borneo, surviving bat-infested caves, leeches, and a grueling 320-mile course through the jungle.
