In October 2021, YouTube and TikTok sensations Lainey Clark, 35, and Ben Hubbard, 23, told us all about the ghosts and ghouls in their home. The teachers from Buckinghamshire have lived with two spirits – Dave and Andy – since 2018, and creaking doors, footsteps and flying objects are part of normal life.
One year on, now with a baby, Apollo, in tow, the couple share shocking updates to their out-of-this-world story…
I vividly remember the moment I died on the operating table when Apollo was born. My lungs stopped working, I couldn’t use my voice or move my eyes. I had no way of telling the doctors that I was suffocating. The last thing I heard was them saying my heart had stopped.”
On 28 February this year, Lainey and Ben welcomed their son Apollo into the world, but during her difficult labour, Lainey died for three minutes. Before her Caesarean section, doctors injected a nerve block (a numbing agent) into her back. But the medicine travelled too high and shut down her organs. For those minutes, experts fought to bring the new mum back to life. Meanwhile, she was in a void.
“I was nowhere, but somewhere, forever and for no time at all. It’s hard to describe the overwhelming peace I felt. I didn’t want to leave,” she confesses. “My two grandmothers and my mum [all of whom have passed away] appeared, smiling at me. I couldn’t reach them, but I felt their love.”
What happened next will stay with Lainey forever.
