Dead for 40 Minutes—Then He Woke Up: Inside the Shocking Miracles That Defy Science and Skepticism
What happens when a man declared dead suddenly gasps back to life after a doctor obeys a divine whisper?
Or when a paralyzed police officer stands up and walks after prayer?
Or when a fatal brain tumor vanishes without medical explanation?
These aren’t scenes from a Hollywood script—they’re real-life miracles scrutinized in a groundbreaking new documentary that dares to ask: Are supernatural interventions still happening today?
“Investigating the Supernatural: Miracles” – A Journalist’s Quest for Truth
Hosted by CBN investigative reporter Billy Hallowell, the film dives into some of the most astonishing miracle claims of our time—stories so baffling that even skeptics are left with “no other explanation” than divine intervention.
“Even though I’m a Christian, I’m always a little skeptical,” Hallowell admits. But after hearing firsthand accounts, reviewing medical records, and consulting experts, he reached a startling conclusion: God is still moving in ways that defy logic.
The Man Who Came Back from the Dead
One of the most jaw-dropping cases involves Dr. Chauncey Crandall, a top cardiologist who witnessed the impossible.
In 2006, Jeff Markin collapsed from a massive heart attack. For 40 minutes, doctors worked frantically to revive him—before finally declaring him dead.
As Dr. Crandall left the room, he felt an unmistakable nudge from God:
“Go back and pray for that man.”
Ignoring it at first, the prompting grew stronger until Crandall turned around, laid hands on Markin’s lifeless body, and prayed. Then, defying all medical odds, he ordered one more shock to Markin’s heart.
“Immediately, a perfect heartbeat returned,” Hallowell recounts. “Two days later, Markin woke up—fully coherent, with no brain damage—and described a near-death experience.”
The Paralyzed Cop Who Walked Again
Another case features a police officer paralyzed in a horrific accident. Doctors said he’d never walk again—until a group of believers prayed over him.
“He stood up,” Hallowell says. “And not only stood—he walked.”
Medical scans later showed no scientific explanation for his recovery.
The Neuroscientist’s Vanishing Tumor
Perhaps most striking is the story of a neuroscientist—a man of science—who was diagnosed with an inoperable, fatal brain tumor. After relentless prayer, follow-up scans revealed something impossible:
The tumor was gone.
No treatment. No surgery. Just… vanished.
Why This Documentary Matters Now
Hallowell knows these stories will spark debate. Some Christians believe miracles ended with the apostles. Others swear they’ve seen them firsthand.
“We didn’t want to create more division,” he says. “We wanted to open a conversation—what if these things are real?”
In an age of cynicism and deconstruction, Investigating the Supernatural forces a hard question:
If miracles happened in the Bible—why not today?
