Logline: What if death isn’t the end? Paranormal investigators and near-death “experiencers” claim there’s more beyond this life. From documenting spirits of the dead to stories of crossing over, explore the fascination with what happens in the afterlife.

Extended Logline: In this Halloween edition of “IMPACT x Nightline,” correspondent Ashan Singh explores the deep cultural fascination with horror, ghost stories and what happens after death. The episode features new interviews with near-death “experiencers” like country singer Gabby Mooney and references high-profile brushes with death, including actor Jeremy Renner’s 2023 snowplow accident. Singh travels to the allegedly haunted town of Globe, Arizona, where he joins paranormal investigators inside the infamous 1910 Gila County Jail. There, he says he experiences spine-tingling moments and reports on firsthand accounts from those who claim to have seen, felt and even communicated with spirits. Balancing belief with skepticism, the episode also includes voices from the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, offering scientific counterpoints to the supernatural claims. “Back From The Dead” invites viewers to confront the unknown and decide for themselves what might be waiting in the afterlife.
