A cursed video or a warning from the future. And then we take a look at a bizarre story about a man who has a dream that's so perplexing he can't really figure out how it's even possible. Until one day he gets the bad news. And he realizes he might have seen into the future, but not his future.
Today on the Rabbit Radio. Hey everyone. Welcome back to another episode of Dead the Rabbid Radio. I'm your host, Shakespeare.
I have a great day. I hope you guys are having a great day. I hope you're having tons of fun doing whatever you're doing. First off, running into that rapid commander.
Give it for one of our legacy Patreon supporters, Daeu. Woohoo. Yeah, we highs running on in cheering Woohoo. Jumping with them.
So happy to be here and we're happy to have Daeu. Da's been a longtime member of the Fluffle. A long time member of the Patreon as well. And that is why you, Daisy, are going to be our captain.

Daisy, let's go ahead and get this episode started. I'm going to toss you the hair hang glider. Everyone climb onto Daeu's ankles as he jumps off the high point. Dead Rat Radio commanding glides us all the way out to a bedroom right after this boy's bedroom.
And we get there and I'm like guys, guys, kid, let's. I don't know how to spread this story off. I don't want to encroach the bushes because the story's gonna get real weird real quick. We're standing in the neighbor's yard.
I go see that house across the street inside that super loud looking out the windows, I'm like inside that house someone is about to download some pornography. Doesn't happen billions of times a day around the world. We're actually headed back a bit. Right back to the days of Lime Wire.
Those file sharing services. I'm sure they're still around in some capacity, but I haven't used one in ages. And the house across the street, there's this guy, let's call him Jerry and he's using Limewire to download pornography. Clickety clack clack click he starts downloading this file.
And this was the thing with LimeWire. A lot of these services, I remember. Oh, it made me so mad. Back in the day, you would download music.
Wow, look at this Tupac. This Tupac song. This is dope. Click.
And you'll be listening to it. You load it up on your MP3 player, your little ID, iPod shuffle. I put the Tupac bootleg into my ipod shuffle, and I'm walking down the street, and it's like, yeah, my name is Tupac. You can't tell me any other name.
That's the only name that I know. And I'm like, listen to him. Like, he's really kind of falling off. That's weird.
We all know your name's Tupac. I'm bobbing my head. And then, happily, the song, I would go super loud. And I always figured that was some sort of, like, something the studio was doing.
They insert these really loud noises into the songs for, like, this what you get for bootleg. This is what you get for bootlegging the song. Permanent ear damage. I'm loud.
Sorry. Universal Music Group, Please make it stop. I'm still listening to it. I won't skip the shuffle.
I don't know what song, what's coming next. I'm just gonna keep on this song. Sometimes you run into that. Sometimes you would think you were downloading one thing and you got something else.
That's actually how Soulja Boy, the rapper blew up. Whenever a new hit song was coming out that wasn't his because he didn't have one. He was still in nobody back then. He would label his song Tupac's newest song, My Name is Tupac, and be like, oh, sweet, dude.
It's. Your ears are bleaking from the last time you played, and you're like, hopefully this is from a different source. And you download my name is Tupac, and you put it in and be like, oh, Superman, that hoe I'm singing, oh, crack that, soldier boy. Ooh, crack that.
Your ears are bleeding even more. Ah. This is worse than the loud sound in my head. That's how Soldier boy blew up.
Was doing that. Hey, and, you know, don't hate the player. Like, that's actually a really good strategy because you think you're downloading all of these other songs. You're getting Superman that Hoe by Soldier Boy Tellem.
So you didn't really know what you were getting for most of the part. If you thought you were downloading the entire series of the Twilight Zone, you got it right. It Wasn't like, you're in the middle of episode four, season seven, and it all of a sudden was all in the family. For the most part, it was legit.
But every so often you would come across something like this. You come across a different file. So you never 100% knew exactly what you were getting. Jerry's case, you know, he's looking for porn.
So the title was just a bunch of random sex words. Or maybe not so random. It might have painted a very vivid picture. But you know what you're going to get.
This particular video he downloaded was a compilation video which was just a series of scenes from other pornography. And on this particular one, Jerry says he hits play. And it starts off with the song. This is a story of a girl who cried a river and drowned the whole world.
If anything's not going to get you in the mood, it's probably that song. No one's ever been sitting next to a girl on a couch and song comes on like, hey, baby, you want to smooch? This is the story of a girl who cried a river and drowned the whole world. And while she looks so good in photographs, she absolutely loved him.
When she sne the whole song, we can tell you're all, like, stuffed up. You're not a great singer. Anyways, the song's actually on my ipod. Surprisingly, it's not.
I don't have an ipod, but I still call it that. My music player. So anyways, story of the girl. This is the story of a girl.
And so Jerry starts his video off, and he's, like, successful, right? He's like, awesome. I got what I wanted. It's a bunch of scenes of pornography.
Song. Probably not the best song for it, but he's watching it. This is a story of a girl. That song starts playing, and he says as the video progresses.
So all these different scenes put together. So it's a bunch of different actors, a bunch of different scenarios. He begins to notice something. The stars of these scenes begin to look like they are riddled with disease, which may be true, right?
Probably in one fashion or another. But he's not talking about that. He's not talking about that. For example, a guy walks on screen, but he has, like, a bit of a limp.
He's like, oh. He's like, oh, my knees, my knees. Look, all the fluid buildup in my knees. Sexy nurse, I need you.
I need you. The sexy nurse runs in, but even she looks a little worse for wear. She just looks sick. Yellowed skin, darkened eyes, maybe some jaundice.
Maybe a little case of jaundice. And then they would do their thing. And it cuts to the next scene. And these people also look diseased.
So you would have a man standing there and he's like, oh, these open sores. These open sores really put me in the mood. The woman comes in, she's like, oh, yes, hi. Hi, sir.
Are you here to deliver my pizza? He's oh, he can't tell where he ends of the pizza begins. He's like, ah, my body looks like pepperoni. She's like, that's disgusting.
But I'm getting paid to be here. But even she can tell she's kind of suffering from something. Wiping away a little bit of blood from her nose while her eyes roll back in her head briefly. And then it cuts the next scene and there's a guy sitting there and he's.
He's just vomiting on screen. And now she's looking at him, but you can tell, you're just. These people are all disgusting and diseased. You can also tell that she's gross too.
There's pus coming out of her ears. She looks at this man vomiting. He said that what happens is the further he watches into the video, the more and more sickly and diseased that they become. Until finally he sees this scene.
It's the close up of a woman's butt and it just begins to morph and distort and mutate. And he shuts it off. He's disgusted. He can't believe what he had just seen.
Now, there's a couple different avenues to take here. The first one would be that someone's pulling a prank. Someone went in with, did some computer graphics stuff. George Lucas is like, oh, man.
You know, since this old Disney got a lot of time on my hands, I know what I'm gonna do. I'm going to insert disease people into pornography. You see Jar Jerb Bings Mesa got the rheumatoid arthritis is a joke. It's a prank.
Like the multiple music companies that decided to give me lasting hearing damage. But there might be something more than that. Jerry said, he goes, quote, if it was a message from God, I didn't heed it as I became a porn addict a few years later. So he is kind of thinking that there was something supernatural here.
It wasn't just that. There was this video out there that was full of actually diseased actors. Because while I'm sure there's a fetish for that, I'm sure there's a fetish for that. Absolutely.
It's not something you're commonly going to see. We kind of hard to get actors to do that. Hey, we really want you for this scene. By the way, do you have the Zika virus?
Do you have encephalitis? Is your brain swelling up? Because we'll pay you next up your dollars if it is. He did think of a supernatural origin for that.
He goes, man, like, what if this was God trying to tell me, listen, bro, this was a downward spiral. I'm going to show you something so disgusting in the hopes that it will stop you from descending further into this addiction. But he didn't, you know, he just probably took a break. That's probably the end of it for that night.
But as time carried on, he continued to watch pornography until eventually he did become addicted to it. And it is something you can become addicted to. Not everyone watches it is addicted for sure. But really, the.
I mean, they have a very strict definition of what pornography addiction is. It really is really. It's when it starts to interfere with your daily life. For men specifically, they say if you're late for work because you're watching pornography, pretty good sign that you're addicted.
When you're canceling plans with other people, everyone's like, hey, man, you want to come watch the Super Bowl? Ah, nah, you know what? I'm going to hang out in the old goon cave and have a little super bowl of my own. They're like, what?
What's a goon cave? What are you talking about? You're like, oh, sorry, the goon signal's calling. There's a big spotlight in the sky.
I have to go back to my goon cave. I. When you stop hanging out with people to watch it. And the big one is, this happens a lot of men.
It's a big problem we're seeing in younger and younger generations is when it's affecting you physically. As in, you can't maintain an erection. You actually can't have sex. You can't maintain an erection.
So that's when you have to go, okay, well, now I'm suffering physically from this. Yeah, I was late for work and I ended up being fired from work. Ironically. Worked at a.
Ironically, I worked at a pornography company. They were surprisingly strict on their attendance. That's bad. Cutting off the outside world for it's bad.
But having physical affection is bad. The idea that God was trying to interfere and send him a message saying, hey, listen, this is all disgusting. This is all like, it's going to end up breaking you down just like this woman's butt, just like this woman's butt, slowly morphed into this monstrous form. So will you.
I'm not literally. Not literally, but. Don't do it, son. I have another theory, and we talked about this before on the show.
I think having one curse of videos. I believe there are things like cursed videos and cursed films, much like the Ring. I know it's a fictional version of it, but I think it's possible. There's so much stuff that's put into it.
You're having the light and the sound and the image and everything kind of molded into one. Why couldn't you turn that into some sort of ritual in some sense? I think you could have cursed videos out there. I do think that there's a link not between all pornography at all.
I'm not saying that, but I'm saying that I think this would be a good. The world of pornography would be a great hunting ground and breeding ground for demonic activity. I'm not saying that from any sort of puritanical standpoint. I'm not saying that you should never look at naked women.
I mean, I'll be honest. Like, I don't check my Instagram in public because it's just nothing but women in bikinis. And the black tape project, which is a fashion designer who only uses, like, electrical tape to dress women. And he doesn't use a lot.
I'm glad that he's blown up. I've been following for years, but he uses these. It reminds me of comic book drawings. It reminds me of, like, Psylocke from the old X Men run.
But he uses this black tape and not a lot of it to draw designs on these women. So I'm not prude by any stretch of the imagination, but people don't talk about pornography. People don't like to talk about it, especially if they're watching it. They're hiding it from others.
I think you think about it this way. If you came across a video, it's an episode of Little House on the Prairie, and you found it on Limewire. And you're watching it because you're a huge prairie head. And halfway through the episode, the little girl in that show, whatever her name was, is like, don't you hear that, dad?
The rolling thunder. The storm. The storm is coming. Don't you hear that, dad?
And then her jaw distends like a snake, and a thousand blowflies come pouring out of her golet. And the dad's like, no, no. Ah. They begin eating his flesh.
And it's super Realistic. And then one blow fly flies out of your monitor and escapes out your window out into the night sky. You tell your friends about that, right? You'd be like, guys, if you go to the Routes of the Prairie website, guys, prairie heads unite.
I found this creepy video. Don't watch it. Maybe don't watch it unless you have a bug zapper nearby. You would tell people about it.
You post about it all over the place. You'd let the world know about this first video you found. But how many people are going to say, hey guys, guess what? I was randomly downloading pornography off of an illegal pirating site and I came across this video where disease riddled people were having sex with each other.
And I kept watching it. They're like, what? Yeah, yeah. And then I kept watching it even more as the diseases got worse and worse.
People are gonna say that people would not tell other people about that. I don't know if other paranormal investigators would tell each other about that. Because here's the thing. I could have a paranormal investigator come to me and want to show me this video.
But you know what my first question is going to be? What's your first, where did you find it? And you're gonna have to answer, listen, man, I don't care if you're watching porn, it's not going to judge you. But we have those feelings about it.
You are ashamed of it in the first place. That's why you're watching it by yourself. And you don't want anyone to know. You don't want anyone to know what your search history is.
You don't want anyone to know this, that or the other thing. I get it. That's why those threats, when people email you and saying, hey, we've got a hold of your search history and we have all the porn, we're sending all your friends on Facebook because you don't pay us a thousand dollars. Because people are ashamed of what they've looked at.
And I get that's a human. That's a basic human thing. I'm not knocking that at all. But you see what I mean?
If someone came to me with a video like this, my first question and not in a judgment way, in an investigator way, would be like, why did you come across then? Because every my first question for anything, the Prairie people came to me and they said, we have this first episode of Little House on the Prairie. I would say, what? How'd you find it?
So it's not even a judging thing. But in the case of pornography, a lot of people Will be reluctant to share that information. They go, well, you know, I am bored of just regular boob porn. So now I search the Internet randomly, looking for whatever bizarre fetish turns me on this week.
And I came across this fine video. I mean, I get it, right? But people don't say that. So that's.
That's another reason why I think that demons could easily take a foothold in this. Because the shame that's already associated with it, which I'm not a huge fan of, shaming people, right? I'm not shaming you for bringing this video to me. But you already feel the shame.
You're already doing it by yourself. You don't want to get caught in the act. You don't want anyone to know what you're watching. So you have these extra layers of protection that you don't have in other forms of media.
And I think that when you have already that baked into the cake, It'd be the perfect place to hide this information. So I get it. I honestly think that would be a great place to hide this type of stuff, demonic stuff. And I don't necessarily know if it was a warning from God.
It could have been, but it could also have been a demonic video. And Jerry said, he goes, the reason why the song of the story of a girl. This is the story of a girl. Yeah, story of a girl.
He goes, that was a song. Claim the reason why he named the song he goes, because I wonder if anyone else has ever seen this video. Everything else about the video, well, the disease written disease written actors is a big sign. But if you've ever come across a compilation video that had that as the song, and maybe the song turned you off, you just shut off, that would have been that video.
He says, it's a very specific video. I'm naming the song just in case anyone else has ever come across it. It would be very interesting if this video did exist and everyone else who watched it, it was normal. That would really kind of let you know where we were at.
If everyone else who watched it, it had the normal song and had the scenes, and it didn't get disgusting, that'd be one thing. And then that with be like a personal message to Jerry. But if anyone can find this video and it was this disgusting imagery and remember, he didn't finish it. We don't even know how bad it gets.
That could be a sign that it's demonic, that it's corrupted, that it's a nesting place for these dark means. And it would be a way for Them to not only spread their messages, but also to spread themselves. They could be traveling through these avenues, through these videos. I think demon could hide in a blockbuster movie.
Sure. I think it would be more obvious. I think people would go. I mean, a lot of people think that the Exorcist actually has a, you know, demonic power to it.
That the people making that. People making that movie harness demonic power. And I can see that. I mean, it's possible for sure, but I think it would be.
You get less people, you get less overall numbers if you're hiding yourself in random pornography videos. But I think over time, you're so undetectable. You'd be hitting such a small base of people, people who are truly, again, you're not just picking up a Playboy and looking through it. You're searching out for just random porn because you're looking for any sort of endorphin release.
Because all the old stuff has gotten old. And so you're really. That's a targeted strike on a particular type of person. A future porn addict.
Let's go ahead and tash you the keys to the world famous carpenter copy. Psycho. Great. And I've been supporting the Patreon since 2020.
This is the episode I'm on. Let's t the world famous carpenter copter. Were leaving behind Jerry. I do believe he's doing better, actually.
I don't think he's a porn act anymore. But we're leaving behind Jerry. Why don't you fly us all the way out to a military base? First off, I gotta give a shout out to the last 747.
They're the one who sent this story over. Really, really appreciate it. Crazy story. We're gonna look at the year 2015.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are at an army base. So everyone stand up straight, salute, put your hand to your head, do that whole thing. And while we're doing that, we see a bunch of soldiers run by us. They're all, oh, yeah, running by.
And in that group, we're gonna meet a man. Let's call him Walter. We don't have his exact name. He's running, he has, like, on his big rucksack.
And they're like, give us 20 push ups. They're like, doing all these push ups and stuff like that. The drill sergeant's, like, trying to balance himself on the other back. He's like, if I don't fall off, you officially become a general.
Whoa, you maggots. Come on. Two more pushups. And Walters doing all these push ups and stuff like that.
Okay, guys, climb over this barbed wire fence. I lost my keys. On the other side of the drill, sergeant says, oh, come on, sergeant, this is the second time you've done that today. And he's like, climb that fence.
Soldiers are climbing the barbed wire fence. Ah, come on, Serge. My hands that hurt. Give me 20 more push ups.
Walter's in the military. He actually, he's way past all the boot camp stuff. He's actually, like, in the military. He's an official soldier now.
Right now he's getting ready for deployment with a special operations unit. He's like, yeah, it's gonna be awesome, dude. He's not actually in spec ops, but he gets to hang out with them. So he'll be like, running alongside him.
It's all loud. These guys have been trained for decades to be the quietest, fiercest soldiers on the planet. Walter's like, oh, rolling around in the leaves. He's like, well, leave file jumps in it.
But he's like, I was gonna be dope. I get to run with spec ops. And what they're planning on doing is a. This part of their training for this.
Because this is what eventually they're gonna do is a nighttime combat equipment military free fall jump. So what that means is you have on your body armor, you put on your rucksack, you take a rucksack, you put it on your chest that has all your stuff in it. Like all your extra guns, probably some meals, probably some MREs, a bottle of Gatorade, stuff that you're gonna need in combat Band Aids. He has all this stuff.
And they have to have all their gear on. And then they. At night, they do this. They jump out of an airplane, and then they parachute down to the ground.
And then they take off their parachute and like, okay, guys, we're here. All during Gatorade. Don't forget, don't throw your bottle on the ground, guys. Leave no drinks.
He totally knows how to do this. He knows the procedure. Not a big deal. But it's still cool, right?
You would look forward to doing this type of thing. Your knees might knock. Your knees are like, oh, no, not again. I missed those old days, like built hands and all the work.
Climbing over that barbed wire fence. Your knees are gonna take a beating. But anyways, he's done this before. Well, as he's training and getting ready to do this mission, he's working with spacosity.
This nighttime drop, he has a dream. He's in the plane flying through the night sky, and all of the other soldiers are there. They're like, here it is, gentlemen. It's time to go, go, go.
And the dude starts jumping out of the plane. First, go, parachute. Second guy, parachute. Third guy.
20 guys on this plane. He's the last one of all 17. All these guys are jumping out of the plane. They fall for a while, they deploy their main parachute.
They fall to the ground safely. Walter jumps out of the plane, and almost immediately, his main parachute deploys, which is not supposed to happen right from the get go, things have gone disastrously wrong. That main chute deploys, and when that happens, on the front of his harness, there's two, what they call risers. So there's two of them that connect the front of his body, the front of his harness to the parachute, and then there's two in the back that also connect to the parachute.
He might have more along the sides, but he definitely has these four. He jumps out, the main parachute instantly deploys, and the two front risers disconnect from his harness. So now he's losing control. The parachute that's supposed to slowly steady him to the ground, not only has it deployed too quickly, it's not this beautiful little cushion of air.
It's whipping around, and it catches air for a second and yanks him in one direction. Then it deflates again and then catches the air in the other direction, starts to move. He's going to die. Any hope of survival lies in one thing, his training.
So what he does is in a situation like this, because now your parachutes become more dangerous to you, even stabilizing. He has a reserve chute specifically for instances like this. Now, I'm sure there are some military people listening to this podcast. They're gonna scratch your head over this next part.
Just trust me, okay? I might be getting the terminology wrong if you don't believe that, but trust me. He's falling towards earth. His parachute, the front erasers, I've removed itself from his body.
It's flaring in the wind. He's having a really hard time controlling himself. It's actually becoming more dangerous. Training says you have to cut loose the defective chute and then deploy the reserve chute.
So he cuts loose the defective chute from his body. He cuts it loose. It's actually now flying off of his body. But what he realizes in this moment, as he's continuing not only to fall towards the earth, but careen wildly out of control, that his main parachute did not fail in the moment.
He thought his main parachute had accidentally gone off. But when he removed the main parachute pack from his body and it tumbled towards the earth. He realized what actually happened was his reserve chute and malfunctioned. The parachute that is half deployed over his head as he tumbles towards earth, that was his reserve chute.
And his main parachute, the only thing that could have possibly saved him, has been cut free of his harness and it's tumbling into the darkness below. And he fell, and he fell and he fell. And he's trying to figure out what to do, and he finally reaches up, he's saying, I have to try to stabilize this thing. He grabs the risers of the reserve chute that was the one that malfunctioned, and now it's the only one that he has.
He grabs the risers of the reserve chute that it snapped free, and he's pulling himself up, hoping to stabilize it in some fashion, but it doesn't work. He continues to tumble in the darkness towards the earth until he smashes into it and wakes up. Now, Walter, he has this dream and he's like, what in the world was that? What in the world was that?
Not that he had never had a nightmare before. Not that he'd ever not been anxious about a jump before. It wasn't that he said the dream didn't make any sense. There's no way that sequence of events could happen.
And I'm sure, again, I know military personnel listen ups, that sequence of events couldn't happen. And he goes, I mean, sure, you can have a chute, like accidentally deploy, I guess, but the sequence of events, the reserve shoot going off and then thinking it's the main chute and cutting that free and the riser's ripping like, none of this makes any sense. None of this makes any sense at all. In fact, he thought it was so nonsensical that he ended up talking to a couple of his fellow soldiers about it.
And he goes, we all laughed because we're like, well, that dream, that doesn't make any sense. That. That doesn't make. That doesn't make any sense.
How could that even possibly, like. I know, I know, it's a super weird dream. He remembers it vividly, but it's impossible. It would have been just as likely if he was falling and then a pterodactyl flew underneath him and saved him before he had the grounded just couldn't happen.
Accidents do happen, yes, in the air, accidents do happen, but not in that way. A couple weeks, a couple weeks later, Walter says might have even been longer than that. Been a couple months later. He wasn't entirely for sure.
But he said him and his fellow soldiers were called into a briefing. In fact, they had stopped all jumps for the time being. They go, we're not working a safety stop on jumps. We're not gonna do any parachutes.
We're not gonna have anyone doing any parachuting for a while. We need you guys in this meeting. And they're bringing them in, you know, a group by group, platoon by platoon. However, they broke it up of soldiers who were trained to be jumpers.
What's the term? Right. Airborne. Walter ends up sitting in his classroom with a bunch of his fellow soldiers.
And the briefing begins. And this is what they are told. They said, listen up. We had a tragedy in our ranks not at this base, but out at the joint base Lewis McChord in Tacoma, Washington.
So that's why we're calling it. Stopped all jumps right now. September 11, 2015. It was 10am in the morning, and Captain James on was part of a jump maneuver.
They were training this jump maneuver nearby. When he jumped out of the plane, his rucksack that he had on his chest ended up activating the reserve chute. The other soldiers on the plane who were waiting to jump saw this happen. They saw his reserve chute open almost immediately after jumping out of the plane.
When his rucksack ended up pulling on the reserve chute and forcing it to deploy early, one of the risers that attached his harness to the parachute broke free. So he begins to lose control. He's just falling. And we don't know for sure because unfortunately, Captain James on is no longer with us.
But it appears that once Captain James on realized there was something wrong with his chute, he must have mistaken his reserve chute for his main chute, because he disengaged his main chute. We don't know why he made that mistake. I mean, mistakes do happen. But he ended up taking off, cutting free his main chute and now only had his broken reserve chute left to try to slow him down.
The jump master on the plane saw what was happening and jumped out after Captain James Ahn, hoping to get to him in time, but he'd already fallen too far. Captain James on died that day during this exercise. And Walter's sitting there, and he's like, what the. I saw that.
I saw that exact scenario. As unlikely as it could ever be, that specific chain of events could never have happened. But Walter had seen it a few months, maybe even just a few weeks before it happened. And what happened?
Walter is right. Walter is right. The events that led up to this were so undetectable that it took them a while to figure out what happened. Four days after he had passed away, Captain James on they completed their investigation and they said what happened on the reserve chute is a 4 inch ring that is stitched into it that will guide the parachute cords.
What they do is when they're assembling these parachutes, they glue it and then they stitch it on. But his particular chute was only glued. It wasn't stitched, didn't have that reinforcement. So that is a main cause of this chain of events.
From what I understand that if his reserve shoot deployed and the risers hadn't ripped, he would have had a rough landing. He would have been able to make it. But the fact that it deployed and the riser ripped, there was nothing to do except deploy his main parachute. But he thought that was the problem.
And Walter says and actually no, to be fair, it's really interesting. Walter tells the story about his dream and then includes a news article in his post about Captain James on and that's why we're getting a lot of this additional information. In the news article, they stated that 10,000 other parachutes of this kind, the MC4 parachute was tested. 10,000 of them.
All of them had the glue and the stitching. All of them were safe. It was the one that Captain James on used that morning that was defective. Now, Walter said they did test more than that.
This was a full. Let's test every single parachute we have to see if there's any of these defects. And a few, not a ton, not a lot, but a few had that ring simply glued on. The stitching had been forgotten.
These mistakes were corrected. And again, this had never happened before. It took investigators think about everything they're looking at they're trying to figure out. Took them four days to notice it.
That's how it wasn't just like Elmer's blue leaking out of the side. You. It looked like it was fine. It looked like everything was right with this reserve chute.
But they were able to finally determine the defect. There was a difference there, of course, the way these things sometimes happen, the way that the weirdness or the. I don't know how else to put it. On the day of the jump, Captain James on took a photo of himself and his fellow soldiers sitting on the plane getting ready.
And that's the last photo of him. He ended up taking his own final photo. He would be dead in a couple hours. Walter ends the story by saying, quote and I think this is very interesting.
And interesting way to look at it. He says, quote, although I never met him. Speaking of Captain James On, Although I never met him, I feel connected to Captain on because of this dream. And I take time to remember him, his family, and his sacrifices over Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and other similar events.
May he rest in peace. Because Walter's right that he did sacrifice his life and it ended up saving others. It's tragic. It's ridiculous that.
I mean, I get it. There's always gonna be errors in any sort of manufacturing process, but you know what I mean? It's like, but he did because of his death. Now no one else will die from that defect.
That is a very interesting way to look at it. I do agree with Walter's Reed on that. I hadn't thought about it. Oh, get it.
Walter's Reed. That's the veterans hospital. You're like, what is that joke? My family's been.
I have a lot of family members in military. I have a lot of friends in the military, and I have a friend in the military right now who's much younger than me, who I talked to a couple months ago on my birthday, and I was like, hey, man, how's it going? He's all, my knees. My knees, dude.
All my knees. My knees are blown out. He has to get replacement knees. And he's like, in his 20s.
So I get it, man. There's a whole bunch of sacrifices that are involved with that. Especially just time like that is something you can't get back. You can get titanium kneecaps, you can't get titanium time.
You're giving that up, and then you'll never be back. Then there's all of those other sacrifices. And he's right. He's right.
Walter's right. One of the things interesting is that even in Walter's own assessment, he seems to. I mean, we work a normal podcast. We're looking at it a bit differently.
But he does seem to kind of distance himself a little bit from the dream itself. He does. He says, I do feel connected to Captain on through the dream. And in a way, he experienced it.
It wasn't the final death, but he could feel that terror as he's tumbling through the sky. And then he wakes up and goes, wow, glad no one ever has to go through that. That's impossible. And then it happens, but from a paranormal point of view.
And we'll wrap this up. I know the episode's going long. What? This is a question we've asked a lot on the show.
We've asked it A couple times recently. Having a vision of your own death and then being able to avoid it is fairly rare. It does seem to be super rare. We don't have a big section of that information and that is people who have a vision of their death and don't avoid it.
You have a nightmare that you're going to be in a horrible car accident on the way to work and it might not even be the night before, but you have a vivid dream of you driving down the freeway and a semi out of control plows into you and you die in the wreckage. You don't really tell anyone about the dream. You just start like, wow, that's a weird dream. And then three weeks later you're driving down the road and a semi auto control crashes into you.
You die in the wreckage. We don't have that information unless they tell us about the dream. Unless they tell somebody. Man, I have a really funny feeling getting on this flight.
That's all the information we're missing. The people who go, I had a really funny feeling getting on this flight and don't get on the flight and the flight crashes. We may hear those stories, they may never leave the family circle or they might not ever tell anybody. But we don't hear the stories about people saying, I have a bad feeling about this flight.
They get on the flight and they crash because they don't avoid their death. There are people who I think like the Big Bopper, one of those Labomba and the Big Bopper guy and Frankie Valens were all on the plane. I think one of them had a nightmare about a plane crash. So we hear about it from time to time, but we don't have a complete data set.
But here we have something even more interesting. I think we have someone having a dream, a very vivid and bizarre dream as far as Walter was concerned about somebody else's death quite a time later, somebody never met. And what's interesting about that, I mean, like why is my first question. Because in that case there was nothing he could have done to stop it.
I mean, you could argue that could have been a warning. Much like our first story where he could have went to his commanding officer and said, hey, I had a dream last night, I had a dream about the front riser of a reserve parachute malfunctioning. Do you think we should take a look at hundreds of thousands of these things deployed across the United States? You think we should spend a manpower and money looking into this?
Because obviously they would be told to do 20 push ups and get out of the Office. What do you mean you want us to do all this stuff because you had a dream. Your dream doesn't make any sense. That can never happen.
It's not like he knew Captain on where he'd been like, hey, I had a crazy stream last night and I think it was about you because then you could pass it on. Now they would have thought it was ridiculous. But his James is plummeting to the earth. Really?
What's going through his muscle memories? He's trying to figure out this problem before he dies. So he's like, what's my training? What am I doing?
I've done a hundred times. But if Walter had been able to talk to James, is it possible that he passed? Is it possible that in that it said James goes, wait a second. My aiming shoots.
Not the problem. Walter had a dream about this, but there wasn't even a chance to do that. So it's interesting. Walter has a dream about something that's so ridiculous they all kind of laughed at it when he told his fellow soldiers there was nothing he could do to prevent it.
And it happened and a man died because of it. I'm not blaming Walter, obviously. What could you have done? And so you wonder if I.
Listen, if I had a dream about that exact scenario, I wouldn't know that was weird because I don't know anything about parachutes. I wouldn't know how that's weird. I don't think that happens because in movies parachutes are always malfunctioning and Jason Statham's running on top of people's parachutes and I wouldn't have thought anything of it. I mean, I would have freaked out by smashing into the earth in my dream, but I wouldn't have thought, wow, that's impossible.
And I might not have ever seen the story about Captain James on. I didn't see it until this guy posted it pretty recently and I didn't even see it then until the last 747 sent it over. I should say two. And I gotta wrap this up.
This was posted underneath the name Fragrant Brother 583. That's Walter's sign on name and everything else in his red history is bird watching. So again, I don't see any reason why this source fake refam news article and decided to build a story around this man's real life tragedy. But what I'm saying is if I had this dream, I never would have known that it was impossible.
And I probably never would have known that it happened in real life. So it was close enough to James to be able to recognize it. So he would eventually get the briefing and find out the truth, but far enough away that he couldn't warn him. So what's the mechanism behind that?
And I think it kind of goes without saying we're all gonna die. Some of us peacefully, some of us violently, some of us in a totally awesome way, but none of us really know when. But what if somewhere on this earth, a couple weeks before you die, a man wakes up from a dream? He saw you die.
He experienced your death before you did. Maybe it was a dream of suffering a heart attack while walking down the street. Maybe it was a dream of taking a shotgun blast to the neck as you're fleeing an attempted mugging. Maybe it's a dream of you holding your guts in after a madman.
Can't he just be dying in her sleep? A madman with a very loud chainsaw? You would have died in your sleep. You're almost there, but right before you did, a man with chainsaw comes at me.
Guts are flying everywhere, blood splattering the walls. You're like, oh, I just cleaned my bedroom. There's a madman. Chuckles and somewhere out there, a man wakes up.
Oh, my God. That was insane. I just drunk. I died.
It's so realistic. And for a while, he's afraid that he saw his own death. But finally, he's able to calm down. Despite how vivid the dream was, he's able to calm down and fall back to sleep, knowing truly that it was just a dream.
