This Wisconsin woman was pronounced dead for three minutes and now claims she has 'electrical abnormalities'

A woman from Wisconsin, United States, publicly identified only by her first name, Jade, shared on social media an extraordinary account of a medical episode that changed her life forever. The experience, which occurred in the summer of 2011, involved a cardiac arrest that left her clinically dead for three minutes and whose aftereffects, she claims, still manifest today in "electrical abnormalities."

It all began on a hot summer day in Jade's hometown. While visiting a friend's house, she stepped out onto the patio for a cigarette when she began to feel ill. The intense heat, combined with extreme humidity, caused her to experience nausea, dizziness, and unbearable pressure in her head, until she lost consciousness completely. According to her, "everything went black."

Jade's friends immediately called emergency services, and an ambulance rushed her to a nearby hospital. There, doctors confirmed that her heart had stopped beating. She was declared clinically dead for three minutes until they were able to revive her using a defibrillator.

Doctors attributed the episode to extreme heat exhaustion, aggravated by two preexisting medical conditions: Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and postural tachycardia syndrome, both heart disorders.

"I think my soul never left my body because I have a very good relationship with the spirit world," Jade said in a video she posted on her TikTok account, where the story went viral.

After her physical recovery, Jade began to notice changes that are difficult to explain rationally , especially in her interactions with electronic devices. "Watches stop ticking shortly after wearing them," she said in an interview with Jam Press and later reported by The New York Post in 2023.

In addition to these strange clock phenomena, the young woman claims to have experienced unexplained sensory events. She reported hearing voices, seeing shadows, and perceiving presences at various times, phenomena she does not associate with a traditional out-of-body experience , but rather with some mark that the cardiac arrest may have left on her or her surroundings.

For more than a year after the incident, Jade suffered recurring symptoms of mental confusion, episodes of severe fatigue, and sensory disturbances, even experiencing sporadic seizures. These problems led her to be evaluated by multiple specialists, who initially suggested diagnoses such as epilepsy, although none were conclusive.

Over time, many of these symptoms diminished and disappeared, but the abnormal interaction with electronic devices persists even today.

"I don't have a scientific explanation, but I know what happens. My friends have seen it. I break screens without touching them. It just happens," Jade stated in her posts.

Jade decided to share her story through platforms like TikTok and YouTube. She says her main goal isn't to gain fame, but rather to create spaces for discussion about unconventional and under-represented topics in society.

Jade currently has over 1.7 million followers on social media , where she shares content primarily related to true crime stories and unusual phenomena.

The case continues to attract the attention of users around the world, who follow the story with curiosity and skepticism, transforming it into a true viral sensation that challenges the boundaries between medicine, science, and the unknown.
