Yeah. When friends go out mountain biking, they have no idea they're about to find themselves at the top of Mount Mystery. Then we take a look at the story of a young man who's just trying to get a good night's sleep. Like so many of us, all we want to do is for our head to hit the pillow and catch some Z's.
But this man's slumber is interrupted by a dark voice telling him horrible things that leaves him to this day wondering, is there any truth when the demon whispers in your ear? Today I'm dead Radio welcome back to another episode Dead Rabbit review. Oh, yeah, right. So me and extra movies going to come for me to see, but maybe I'll find something to watch.
But someone who doesn't spend their free time around whether or not there's movies to watch. Someone who has a very fulfilling life full of hobbies walking into their radio land right now. Everyone get on your feet. Give it a floor.
Cat girl. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Clap for the cat. Clap for the cat.
Cat girl was a donator catcher. Made a donation during our. I found this list on the ground. I found this list, you know, I've been on vacation for a month.
I'm picking stuff up. I found this list on the ground that has a bunch of scratched out names, but some of them aren't. And I'm like, did I give this person a shout out before? Did I not?
I don't remember what this was for. What was the last live stream we did like Christmas Christmas or something like that. We might have done one. Oh, I think it was the annual, like the sixth annual live stream special.
So, cat girl, you're gonna be our captain, our pilot of this episode. Thank you so much for your generous, generous support. If you guys can't support a show financially, I totally understand. You're probably gonna forget.
I'll be like, if I get my shout out. That's right too. If you can't spread show financially, just help spread the word about that rap radio that helps out so much. Tell your friends.
You know the rap radio is your favorite paranormal show. Also, I recently sent out a huge batch of stickers. I did not know I was so far behind on that. Again, I had a list.
This stuff wasn't checked off. You gotta stay on top of this. Long introduction, long episode. We gotta get stuff started right away.
Catgirl, let's Go ahead and start this bad boy off with tossing you the a big tank of propane to hook up to the bunny balloon. Do we have Is this new? We hook up this propane tank. That's not a hot air balloon.
You don't get a propane tank from Walmart. Hook it up. It's probably why you don't own a hot air balloon. Everyone climb on board the bunny balloon.
It's this giant hot air balloon. As catgirl sails us up, up and away, all the way over to red radio command. We're headed out to West Virginia. Light that hot air up.
We sail away in the hot air balloon. It don't make sounds. What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do with the hot air balloon?
Sound like wee people in this. Get it all the way out to West Virginia specifically. We're going to be in snow show West Virginia. Apparently it's at the southern part of the state.
The year is 2018, and this is around 9, 10 in the morning. The least spookiest time of all. Oh, before we get started the story too, please let me know if the volume issues have been corrected because it's really hard for me to tell them this end that I know we have some issues with. Your ears are bleeding.
Like, this is so loud. You're stung. Locked in place. You can't shut it off.
Let me know if I got the volume thing fixed. Anyways, we're headed out to snow show West Virginia. We're gonna meet a group of guys. We're gonna meet Blake.
These aren't real names, but Blake is gonna be the guy who is telling us this story. He's gonna post it online anonymously. And then two of his friends, we'll call them Matt. We'll call them Matt and Todd.
And they're kind of hanging out one day and they go, dude, you know what'd be dope? Mountain biking. They all say at the same time. They're like, oh, yeah, does anyone own a mountain bike?
Do we have one? They're like, I don't know. They went. They bought some mountain bikes.
They decided to go mountain biking. And they figured that'd be really, really fun to race along super narrow trails down steep embankments in the middle of nowhere, have a death wish. But people love it. People love mountain biking.
It's not my cup of tea. I don't even like bike. People like riding a bike down a flat path, you know, sidewalk or something like that. Get out of the way, kids.
I'm riding a bike. Get out of the way, civilians are riding a bike. These guys like to go mountain biking, but they actually end up. Because this is before GPS.
Blake explains. Back in 2008, he said that we want to go to this particular mountain in southern West Virginia. But all we had was a map and some directions someone gave us. They're like, oh, yes.
If you want the best mountain biking experience, head up to these mountains. You'll find the path. And so they were given kind of set of directions to map, but that wasn't enough. That wasn't enough for them to actually find.
They couldn't even find where they were going. Mountain biking. You were like, oh, the intro. You're like a paranormal mountain biking mystery.
Oh, this is awesome. I love mountain biking. They don't even get to mountain biking in this story. The bikes remain stuck to the roof of the car because they get lost.
They don't even get to the mountain biking place. They get so lost, they don't have any idea of where they're at. It's not like they can just turn around and return home. They don't know how to get back to where they came from.
They're that lost. Driving down the road, they end up seeing this tiny town off to the side and they go, let's pull over there. Let's pull over there. We have no idea where we're at.
Let's get some directions. Okay. So they pull off the main road and drive into this town. Small town.
They're driving down the strip. The town's empty. Blake and Matt and Todd are kind of looking at each other and they're like, what? It's not something you would pick up on immediately.
Right? If you started driving around town and no one was there, you wouldn't notice it the second you pulled into town. But as you pass street after street driving down these blocks, you would start to realize there's no one else around. There's not a single person to be seen walking around looking in shop windows.
They don't see anyone as they're driving down the road. They don't see any other cars on the road. So they end up parking their truck and start walking around. Now it's almost a new mystery.
They are also lost. They have no idea how to get home. They do need to find somebody. But also some mystery.
How is there nobody in this town? And Blake said, listen here. Today it was like 9, 10 in the morning. It was early enough that people would be out and about.
This is midday or mid morning. Something should be going on. They said, we walked by the post office, looked in the window, completely empty, stopped by a local bar, and while the door was locked, they could hear music playing from within. Don't tell my heart, my achy Reiki heart.
I just don't think I understand. Blake and Todd and Matt, what in the world's going on? They keep walking through town. Blake said after about 25 minutes of walking, they come across an old man.
And he stated that it seemed like the old man came out of nowhere. What definitely would be startling after 25 minutes of not seeing anyone and the very first question these three men asked the old man, they said, where the hell is everyone? At this point, they're less worried about finding their way back home and more just figuring out what's actually going on here. And the old man said, well, I guess folks around here don't get up much till around noon.
Weird, but possible, right? It could be that small of a town that everyone just wakes up at the same time and starts moving about. But these three guys, they go through town, they've been walking around, they just. There's no sign of anybody until this old man appeared.
So they do ask and they go, how do we get to Snowshoe? That's where they're headed towards. And the old man points towards the road that they came in on. And he said, listen, you go get on that road, go for about 10 miles, you make a right, and you'll hit the interstate.
And then you take the interstate straight to snow show. So Blake, Matt and Todd, they're like, okay, at least, you know, we've gotten the directions. We, I guess we got an answer to the street. No one really wakes up until around noon.
Weird. But now the second part of the problem, we know how to at least get to the mountain biking place. Do you have directions for our home? He's like, I don't know where we live.
They felt very uneasy about it. Something still was wrong. But the three young men got back in the truck, drove back to the road they came in on, and began going down the road, continuing their journey to Snowshoe until about five miles out of town, they see a woman standing in the middle of the road. She's wearing a What's described.
Blake described it as a state road uniform. So I'm assuming that some sort of like construction slash safety uniform, it's something that he would recognize in West Virginia as a uniform of a worker. But I'm assuming it's something that in any state early in a country you would kind of recognize as Someone who's wearing, like, reflective vests because they're standing in the middle of the road and they don't want to get ran over. And this woman is holding one of those signs that says slow.
She's like a road worker person. And as the truck gets closer to her, she turns it from slow to stop. We've all seen this. I think anyone who's ever driven a car or ridden a car seen this.
There's construction happening also farther down the road, and that person has a sign they're gonna let traffic in from that end because they've cut it down to one road. And it's all a way to prevent accidents while doing major road work. And after a period of time, your sign is turned to slow, and then you can slowly go to the other side. Oh, great.
But whatever, you know, what are they gonna do? Why is this construction zone? They just can't be like, no, we gotta go mountain biking. We're gonna race through this construction zone, Blake.
And then they pull the truck to a stop, and the woman says, hey, yeah, you know, sorry, there's some road construction up ahead. We need you guys to stop for a moment. And they're like, oh, yeah, no, we don't understand. We get how it goes.
Hey, what's up with that town we just passed? Blake says. He goes, we just came out of this town maybe five miles back. It's really weird.
There's no one walking around. And it's like a whole. It's just an odd place. You know anything about that?
Matt and Todd are kind of, you know, agreeing with them. And the woman says, yeah, yeah, actually, that is a really weird town. She laughs when she hears them say this, and she goes, yeah, it's a really weird place. And they start kind of BSing Blake.
And the boys start talking to this woman about just random stuff. She's holding the sign. You know, her job is one of the most boring jobs in the world. That's why they're pretty well paid, because it just must eat at your brain.
She's holding the sign. These guys, they just. This is the first non appearing out of nowhere human they've seen in a while. They're gonna be us in with her.
And Blake goes, we sat there for probably 45 minutes minimum, talking to this woman. Very friendly. The vibe was right. We're just all having a good time.
He goes, for 45 minutes at a minimum, Possibly up to an hour. He goes, we were all kind of just lost in the conversation with her, and it was a lot of random stuff. But sometimes she would ask questions. And again, these are questions that wouldn't raise your alarms if someone you just met someone new and you're talking to them.
She would ask, you know, where are you guys from and where you guys headed? You know, very casual questions. And they responded. They didn't feel like there was any need to be deceptive.
These are casual things that people talk about. Well, eventually, though, after about 45 minutes to an hour, the woman says, well, I guess it's clear now and y' all can go ahead. And she turns the sign from stop to slow. Blake and the boys are now driving the truck down this road.
And they're driving and they're driving, and they start to realize something. They do not see anywhere any signs of a construction, any signs of a construction team, any signs of construction equipment. No signs of a roadway repair squad. Nothing.
No equipment, no vehicles, no workers. Just this car driving down this road. They drove for 30 miles after the point where the woman stopped them, and in that time, they saw nothing. In fact, they start to realize that the entire time they were sitting there talking to that woman with that sign, not a single car came from the opposite direction.
So it's not like traffic was being stopped here. So cars from the other end of this non existent construction, roadway repair work could come by. No, he goes, we sat there and not a single car came from the other direction. In fact, Blake says, we started talking about this because now this is about as weird as it can be.
The town's already bad enough. The woman stood there and she held that sign that said stop all that time, and then almost arbitrarily says, well, you guys can go now. But they realized that the walkie talkie she had, she never spoke into it and no one ever talked to her. So why then, why now?
Was it okay to drive? Why was it okay to go down this road? There's no construction, there's no roadway repair team, no oncoming traffic. Just a woman in the middle of the road holding up a stop sign.
This was posted online by someone going by the name Reconsk. Reconsk. They posted this online on this Reddit where people are asking about eerie towns or, like, bizarre times. You were kind of in the middle of nowhere and something weird happened.
And of course, you know, this subreddit gets flooded with all of these stories like this. I actually should say, no, these are the standout stories like this. A lot of them are just kind of lame, right? Sometimes I can drop them in the nth dimension.
I Was like boring. You know, I have a pretty high threshold for what I find entertaining because I read this stuff all the time, but a lot of it was just kind of boring. The previous one we did was about people who were trapped in a town where everyone drank milk. And I thought that was interesting.
I thought this one was interesting. And it's funny enough because recently we did an episode about a conspiracy theory where a guy believes, and this could 100% be true, that these Ask Reddit threads and these posts, similar posts on the exporter, you see them all over the Internet, are actually a government information scraping operation because the military or the government or private corporations who have their hands in some pretty bizarre waters want to know this information. So they would put up all these episodes in the show notes. If you're Milk episode, sign me up, I'll put these episodes in the show notes.
But it's this idea that the government would want to track all of this stuff because we only investigate UFOs. We know that whether or not UFOs exist, they investigate them. So why aren't they investigating ghosts and other parts of the paranormal? The short answer is they are.
So, yeah, you know, that was in the back of my head. Now, since I covered that one conspiracy theory, this could have been set up by some sort of government operative. And they go, let's start making a map of weird experiences. What's interesting to this one, there was someone who responded to it and they said that the town of Green bank, they said Green bank, which is 18 miles out of Snowshoe, West Virginia.
Green bank actually has a massive radio telescope research facility. And it is a facility that the military, according to this poster. I don't know if it's actually true, but I mean, we talk about conspiracy theories all the time. Towns may be full of milk.
Apparently in Green bank there is a massive radio telescope research facility that the military currently uses for research. And also this location is used to search for signs of extraterrestrial civilizations. It's interesting because the story doesn't like, I don't know where to classify it at. It's just kind of a weird event that happens.
There's not any, as far as we know, sense of time loss. So it's not like an alien abduction. I mean, they said they talked to her for 45 minutes. They remember that.
It's not like they left that small town. The next thing they Knew, it was two hours later and they were 50 miles down the road. And they don't know where they got there. That's more common with an alien experience.
What I think is interesting is I think the story happened before it started. Because remember, Blake says we were driving through the area. All we had was a map and some directions. We didn't have GPS like we do nowadays, so we got lost.
I don't think that's why they got lost. I think this phenomenon caused them to become lost. They could have had a GPS and they still ended up in this location somehow. But as to what the experience is to what is going on here, I mean, it could be alien, could be alternate reality.
The idea, you know what's interesting, it makes me. It's the fact that the two people they do encounter, well, one of them tries to get them out of there, shows them the way out, and then the other one kind of traps them there for quite a while. But then you go, maybe the old man was actually sending them towards the woman with the stop sign. But again, like, what was the purpose of all of it?
And really, if that's what you're looking for, I mean, I do it too. I try to find the purpose sometimes. That's probably one of the hardest questions to answer with the paranormal is why? And we already have time with the how.
The who can be a little iffy. So, yeah, interesting story about a trio of friends who just wanted to enjoy mountain biking and left with a vague uneasy feeling. That's it. No alien implants, no trapped in an alternate dimension for the rest of time.
Now, they were eventually able to find their way home, but not knowing what happened, because something definitely happened to these three young men. But not knowing even what it was can sometimes be the most terrifying part. If you know it's a ghost, you know how to prevent it from happening again. If you believe it's an alien abduction, they're a little bit harder to avoid in the future, honestly.
But you know the experts to call, you know who to talk to. But a situation like this, you even wonder for Blake, Matt and Todd, they must be thinking, was that even paranormal? Like, what even was that? And if you don't know what it was, you may not be able to prevent it in the future.
And you adjacent, all of it was a minor inconvenience. They can't prevent it in the future, but who knows, maybe next time they'll be trapped in that town. Who knows? Probably not know.
Considered into a spooky story. But my point is that you don't know what it is. You can't prevent it at all. Though they were able to make their way back Home.
Is it possible other people traveling along this route never made it? Went missing? Second look at missing people reports in the area. I never thought of that before.
That'd be really interesting. I'll see if I can dig into some of that stuff over the weekend. Since I don't have a movie to watch, I'll just do my job. And you know what's interesting is that you West Virginian Virginia Knights is that you guys are called West Virginia Knights Heights.
West Virginia Heights. You can explore. You can explore this time bending area with two people. If you know the snowshoe area and you know what it's.
Yeah. I'll have a car this weekend, go for a road trip and come back alive and tell us about it. That'd be cool. I just want to read a couple missing person reports online.
As I'm doing that, yours pops up. I was like, what? Oh, that's interesting. So we just went missing on the very weekend I told someone to investigate.
It just must be a coincidence. Cat girl, let's go ahead and touch the keys to the world famous carbon copter we're leaving behind. West Virginia. Why don't you fly us all the way out to a house in anywhere usa.
Cat girl is flying us out to this house. We're about to meet this young man. We didn't give his real name. We'll call him Lewis.
Lewis has a habit. It's not a bad habit, but your doctor may disagree, but I don't. Lewis likes nicotine patches. Nicotine patches get a little safe nicotine delivery.
A nootropic. Really? We've actually done a couple episodes on nicotine. It's not the fact that I'm a huge fan of nicotine and I struggle.
I don't say I am using it again, but I'm fine with it. I'm not trying to quit. I am getting my blood pressure. I'm getting a full physical done next week.
I have to have my blood pressure and my cholesterol check, so. But I use the nicotine replacement stuff, right? I use like the lacing and the gum and the patches. Not all at the same time, but it's a great way to get nicotine.
If you want nicotine. It takes away a lot of the bad health things that like tobacco does. You take nicotine replacement? You do get those things where all your blood vessels tighten.
I can feel it. You can't feel your blood? No, I. Sometimes I feel that's a heart attack.
You're having a stroke. I don't take as much Nicotine lozenges, as I used to, but I used to take, like the 4 milligram ones. And I take 2. I take 2 of 1.
So I was getting 8 milligrams and I would go. I could feel. I could feel my body. I could feel, like, the energy, the nicotine coming from my gums and flowing into my capillaries and all of my veins and stuff.
I'm all ripping open a cop car like, Chase, are you sure you weren't eating pcb? I'm like, ah, I'm invisible. Please shoot me, shoot me. Watch the bullets bounce off.
Anyways, I'm not gonna say I recommend nicotine, but if you're currently on smoking stuff, if you're currently smoking, switch to the nicotine places. It is healthier. Well, Lewis likes a little bit of nicotine as well. He uses the nicotine patches.
Those actually really make my body start to convulse in the left side of my face. It's weird. It's weird. Slurred speech and all.
But Lewis likes nicotine patches. Those are too powerful for me. He also likes to sleep with them because any nicotine fiend will tell you nicotine creates vivid dreams. Vivid, vivid dreams basically are being sponsored by the nicotine companies, all of them, right now.
Vivid dreams. And so he said, listen, I love to sleep with a nicotine patch on because I have the craziest dreams. So Lewis continues, that may be what is the cause of this story. But for one detail, Lewis said that he does sleep with his bathroom light on.
It's kind of recessed lighting, so it's not, like, glaring in his face. But he has, like, a bathroom attached to the bedroom that he shares with his wife. And he says, you know, if I have to wake up in the middle of the night and go to the bathroom, I'll know where it's at. I can look.
I look around the darkness. I wake up from this super vivid dream. I'm swimming in Niagara Falls. I wake up and I have to pee.
But instead of kind of fumbling around in the darkness, I see a glimmer of light off in the distance. My bathroom. I left my bathroom light on. And he can make his way over there, go to the bathroom.
On this particular night, that's kind of separate. You got your notes. If you draw on your map of his bedroom on this particular night, Lewis says that he has this dream. In this dream, which was very vivid and felt real, like many dreams.
But especially, but especially dreams and everything, he said, on this night, I was on the top bunk of a bunk bed. In my dream, I was on the top bunk of a bunk bed. My wife is laying next to me. She's dead asleep.
I'm awake in the dream. I'm just lying there. And that's when I began to hear a sueration, a hissing cerseration. I don't like that word.
I've never seen that word before. It means a murmuring. So a hissing murmuring coming from the bottom bunk. And as this voice was speaking, Lewis begins to feel the deepest despair he has ever experienced in his life.
He's laying there on the top bunk, and he just becomes overwhelmed by emotional darkness. A despair so infinite and all encompassing, it's like it's decaying the very nature of his soul. It's rotting it right out of his body, just like that level, he said. What the voice was saying was that Christianity is a lie.
I don't know if atheists listen to this podcast. They're like, what? That's a paranormal, Jason. I can send you a couple books on the subject, but fine, that's fair.
If you're agnostic or atheist, or even if you're of an alternate religion, not Christian, you're like, you go back to sleep. You're like, what? Okay, voice from the bottom block, tell me something I don't know. You go back to sleep.
Lewis is a Christian, so to him, this struck him at his core. Now, Christians, I'm Christian. Christians do often hear that the religion is not real and, you know, whatever. Like, I'm not gonna go, you know, agree to disagree.
Christians hear this all the time. Everyone, every faith hears this all the time. Atheists, they hear this all the time. Oh, what, you don't believe?
Da, da, da, da. You get on with your day. But in this dream, in this very vivid dream, it's really, really getting to Louis. This voice, this unseen voice, continues and says, christianity.
It's a big lie. It's not real at all. In fact, all of the things you think Christianity can protect you against, it's useless. It's useless.
It serves no purpose. It's not real, and it can't protect you. In fact, Louis, because it's hissing, remember? In fact, Louis, you know what I'm gonna do right now?
I'm gonna kill you. And then you'll go to hell. That place you worried so much about? Yep, that place is real.
The Christianity part's fake. But hell is real, Louis. It's real. And I'm gonna kill you.
And you're gonna die, and you're Gonna go there. You will spend eternity in hell. Unless Lewis is laying there. He's completely frozen in place, can't speak, can't move.
And the hissing voice from the bottom bunk tells Louis, if you accept my domination over you, if you accept me having all power over your soul, you will not spend eternity in hell. In fact, for the first time in your life, Louis, you will be free. Accept my dominion, and only then will your soul be safe. Lewis finally gets the power to speak.
Finally is able to say what he's been wanting to say. He says, I don't believe you voice. I don't believe anything you're saying. I reject you.
Lewis wrote in his account here, his witness account. He goes, after I told his voice I didn't believe anything he was saying and I rejected his offer. Quote, it laughed. The laugh sounded like dried skin of a decomposed body cracking apart, unquote.
I think that's a pretty descriptive way of a voice that sounds, you're like. Definitely did not take Lewis's resistance to really mean anything. His voice did not care what Lewis has to say. Lewis then does shout out, in the name of Jesus Christ, leave me alone.
And then he wakes up. Lewis wakes up, he's laying there in bed next to his wife. He's awake. He's in his real bedroom, in his real bed, not a bunk bed.
He's sitting there and he sees the recessed lighting of the bathroom glowing in the darkness. But he's laying there in bed. And he said the bathroom light is normally always has been a cool white color. But this time Lewis is looking through the dark bedroom into the bathroom.
And the lighting emanating from within is a glowing orange color. Lewis is frozen in place. He is wide awake. And he's just laying there now, looking at this light.
He's terrified. He. He's puzzled. He does not know how that's possible, but he doesn't know one thing for sure.
He's awake. Lewis looks at that light and he can't figure out why. It's different now. He goes, I was awake.
I wasn't dreaming. I know I was awake. He's laying there next to his wife, looking at this glowing orange light. And then he falls back asleep.
Lewis posted this online on the X board. Let me read you. Let me read to you how he finished it up. He said, quote, never have I ever had anything else creepy like that happen to me.
The dream was bad. Felt a despair so acute I can't even begin to describe it. But the light, glowing reddish orange, was what made this experience stick? I was wide awake.
That part I can't explain away as a bad dream, unquote. This is a story again. I usually don't cover dreams on this podcast, which I've actually got a lot of emails from you guys going, why not? Dreams are actually really interesting.
Yeah, they are. Multiple episodes. I'm not gonna repeat it. But in short, I go, that's the most interesting thing when it's happening to you in that dream.
And then when you wake up to you, it's pretty fascinating. But as far as, like, really getting into dreams, in the world of paranormal, we know anything can happen in dreams, therefore nothing's truly paranormal, because there's no normal. That's just kind of my view on it. But sometimes dreams do cross over and they become a prophetic dream showing something that's going to happen in the real waking world.
Now that's 100, you know, paranormal, dead rat, radio worthy. The idea of if you can control your dreams, as in lucid dreaming, you can control your reality. That's really a big thing that's coming out in the Law of Attraction community. A lot of people making their dream journals while they're awake and thinking about the things that they want while they're awake.
And then they go, how come the law of attraction doesn't work? And then the people who put it into action in the subconscious, which is very difficult to do, they're the ones who attract what they want in the world. I'll tell you this. I know I once I mentioned Law of Attraction, A bunch of people are like, oh, he's gonna talk about this for 30 minutes.
I do want to say this. I've always found this very interesting. If you look at a lot of the stories of celebrities who seemingly pop out of nowhere, Eminem, for example, is a good example of this. But a lot of them did this.
Eminem, his entire ceiling of his room, of his bedroom when he was growing up, when he was a young man, young teenager, all of that was covers of the Source magazine, Hip Hop magazine. So he would write raps during the day and he'd be hanging out with his friends and they'd be doing, you know, music and everything like that, and just nothing was taken off for him. But in those moments before he fell asleep, the 20, 30 minutes before he's fallen asleep, he's looking up at all of those magazine covers and he's filling his subconscious with these visions of him meeting these people, of talking about rap with these legends, of making his own music of Being on stage of being on one of these magazine covers. He stares up at that ceiling every day for years.
And now he is on magazine covers. Now legends of hip hop talk about him. I do think that is a component of that now, of course, okay, maybe I Cindy Crawford poster on your ceiling when you're a teenager. But you know, so it's not 100% right.
Because you're like, all right, man, my stalking business is really going to take off. You have all these pictures, these polarized. You can take them around town, don't use it for evil. But the point is, is that sleep and dreaming can be a very interesting component of paranormal, but in and of itself not super fascinating.
So why am I telling this story? The fact that the light changes and he doesn't say that it's forever. There's two questions that happen here. One, the fact that the light changed means that there was some sort of physical change in the world, in Lewis's world.
And by an extent, because we're reading this online, our world as well. Unless the Internet is hooked up to alternate realities, which honestly isn't that far fetched of a theory. People talk about the dead Internet theory and that saying the Internet is mostly bots, which is true. But then you also got to wonder, I'm reading this post on the export.
How do I know me and Lewis even exist in the same reality? I would assume we do because I'm reading it, he's writing it and I'm able to read it. But with the nature of the Internet and AI and multiverse, he could actually be in a separate reality. But that's even getting more weird plans on getting with this episode.
The fact that the lighting changed, let's say it only changed for one night because he did not tell us that from then on out it was permanently orange. If it changed for that one night, you would think that the reddish light in that room was whatever entity was whispering into his dreams. That would be my takeaway that it wasn't necessarily that the light, if it only happened that night. If the next day the lighting was white again, a cool white, and I would go, that orange reddish glow was actually the entity in that room maybe leaving because it had lost it, was trying to get him to give dominion.
This demon we would assume, right, this dark entity was trying to convince Lewis to turn his back on the religion he cherished so much and to worship this hissing voice that he hears in his dreams. That orange reddish glow could have been that entity giving off that type of light. And even that opens up a whole other question is, are we responsible for what we do in our dreams? Like had he said yes, would that have directly affected his soul?
I would guess not. But I don't really answer that question because it is you making those decisions in your dreams. You may make bad decisions in your dreams. You may do horrible things in your dreams.
I can't really think of a dream off the top of my head where I did something horrible. Kill people. Sure, yeah, I've killed people in my dreams. But in the dreams those killings were justified.
I was like fighting an enemy. I was stopping a bad guy in my dreams. I'm trying to have a dream where I was actively making bad, not even bad, but evil decisions. I can't think of one.
Well, look at the terrorist who I killed. His family made disagree. But are you responsible for what you do in your dreams? That actually opens up a big bag of worms.
Which is a bigger mess than just a can of worms. Because then I could go, I haven't really done anything evil in my dreams. So yeah, sure, what you do in your dreams is reality. But then someone else could be really struggling with having some dark dreams.
They're like, dude, why do I keep sleeping with my mom in my dreams? I know I'm gonna calm down, listen to episode and did whatever you. That always makes me feel good. And then you hear me go, oh yeah, no, that's who you really are.
You'd be like, what? Mother's Day's coming up. You're like, oh no, what am I going to do? What am I going to do?
I know what I'll do. A nap. A nap will surely put my mind at ease. I don't know.
That's an interesting question. Are you responsible for what you do in your dreams? Because in a sense, it is your personality in the dream. I don't think.
Here's the thing, I'm saying, like, let's say you have a dream where you cause a huge car accident, you don't have to wake up and turn yourself into the police. What I'm saying is, does the dream you make decisions so similar to the real you that the real you should. That the real you could suffer the consequence of it. Now in this case, again, like, let's say you have dream about.
I'm gonna bring the other thing up again, I just will leave that one aside. But let's say you have a dream about, you know, cause a car accident, someone dies in the dream, but then you wake up and they're alive in the Real world, you know that it was just a dream. You totally get that. But should you, like, morally feel sorry for that?
I'd say no, because it's just a dream and dreams are just dreams. But in this case with Lewis, if he had said, yes, sure, I accept your offer to this voice, would his soul then have paid the price? Would he have started to see diabolical actions in his daily life because he has rejected Christ and given dominion to this entity? See, I would argue no.
I would say no. I would say that while the person in your dreams is you, or a head, a shard of you, a piece of you, you wouldn't pay the price for what you do in your training. So, for example, if you went to your mom's house, so let me keep that stupid mom example. I don't even know why I went there.
I'm trying to keep a straight face because I still have more stuff to talk about, but I don't know if I'm thinking through it. My point is, is that, no, I don't think he would be responsible for it. But this is a subject because really, dreams, I don't really research a lot. Again, all research only crosses over the real world.
The reason why this really popped in my head was the lighting change. But the bigger question is, would you be responsible for what he did in the dream? Would you be responsible for what he did in the dream? Because in the real world, yes.
If you reject your religion and you accept in its place an evil religion, you are then held to the precepts of that evil religion. You're making a decision. As soon as you quit your job and got another job, you can't go, well, boss, I just did that in the dream. I gave you two weeks notes in the dream.
But in the real world, I still want to work here. Theater company shut down. You're like, oh, you know, that was all dream, all dream stuff. Luckily we work in a mattress center, so the by that exceeds this time.
Would you be responsible for that? That's a question already. I would think no. I would think, at the end of the day, if you have horrible dreams, doing horrible things to good people, you're not morally responsible for that and you shouldn't feel bad about it.
But you may want to go, hmm, why did I have that dream? Like a one off dream where you're doing something insane, whatever. But if you keep having the same dream over and over again, and it's pretty, for lack of a better term, diabolical, you might want to go, I wonder what could be causing this? Let me go sit on my throne with human skulls.
It's a dirty rough. Why I keep having these blitzed open nightmares. You might want to figure that out. But then we gotta wrap this up.
A very, very interesting question we don't have a ton of time to talk about is what if the light never changed back to the cool white? I assume that it did, because if it was forever and ever, then on the reddish glow, he actually does state this night it was a glow in a warm orange. So he does state it so it doesn't keep going on. So then I guess I really don't.
I was gonna say it's possible that if the light was always orange from then on out, that he actually shifted into an alternate reality during that night. And possibly even an alternate reality where Christianity isn't real. An alternate reality where Christianity is a lie and he's now in this world where God doesn't exist and the light is always glowing red or orange. Because that would explain why you're like, wow, Jason, you went through.
I'm like talking about dreams too. A man came to reality where there is no God. I was just saying, like the light. If the light never was again a cool white, there's always a dull orange or an orange orangish glow after that.
I would think that would be a permanent change. That would be something that you would have to say. This is an alternate reality. This is a very localized Mandela effect.
I am not in the same world that I lived in when I went to bed. But that's not what happened. That's not what happened. It just changed for one night.
So I do think it might have been that entity in the bathroom. Who knows? Who knows if a lot of this stuff, like I say all the time on the show, we don't know. I feel bad that this guy had this experience.
The fact that it threw him in the deepest bit of despair that he's ever had. And I'll be honest, he probably still struggles with his faith. The fact that he's posting this on, you know, the export. Who knows how long ago this happened?
It could happen a couple weeks ago, could have happened years ago. But it's bugging him. It's this creepy experience that he had that he's still trying to rectify for whatever reason. A thousand scholars could have talked to Lewis.
He could have watched a 100 YouTube documentaries, he could have read a thousand books on the subject. He could have attended lectures all around the world about Christianity. Whether or not it's real. And it would have never affected him as much as this voice.
This voice from the bottom bunk. And it probably will always leave a mark. It probably always will have him wondering whether or not it was telling the truth. Deadrap [email protected] facebook.com deadradio TikTok is Edrap Radio.
