n the dense jungles of Vietnam, visibility was everything—and what soldiers saw with night vision sometimes defied explanation.

In this episode of Down the Crooked Path, we uncover a chilling legend passed down among veterans: a pair of prototype night vision goggles that didn’t just see in the dark… they saw something else entirely.

🔦 Step into:

• A harrowing tale from deep in the field—where one soldier's enhanced vision revealed more than enemy movement.
• The early history of night vision tech in wartime and how its use sparked rumors of supernatural encounters.
• Theories on altered perception, psychological tolls of combat, and whether some tools unlock more than just sight.

Was it sleep deprivation, jungle paranoia—or a rare glimpse into another layer of reality? You decide.

Heads up: This episode contains graphic themes related to war and combat. Listener discretion advised.
