In this haunting episode of The Dancing Toaster, we dive into the spectral fog of the Vietnam War, where soldiers whispered of red-tinted goggles that didn’t just pierce the jungle darkness—they revealed a world beyond sanity. From the blood-soaked trenches of Vietnam to the mysterious dicyanin dye experiments of Dr. Walter Kilner, we unravel a tangled web of night vision technology, ancient spiritual practices, and the human mind’s fragile edge when confronted with horrors both seen and unseen. Along the way, we confront the brutal truths of war— and the spiritual toll of bloodshed that calls out to forces darker than any battlefield. Were the red goggles real? Or were they just another reflection of the madness that war births in the hearts of men? Join us as we walk that razor-thin line between the physical and the spiritual, where the jungle’s whispers still echo and the question of what truly waits in the dark may haunt us long after the final shot.

The Dancing Toaster is a weekly podcast that wrestles with the intersection of faith and the unexplained.

I release new episodes every Tuesday wherever podcasts are found.
