Speaker 1: Mother Knows Death starring Nicole and Jemmy and Maria qk.
Speaker 2: Hi. Everyone welcome The Mother Knows Death. Let's get into
Speaker 2: this week's six shocking Stories. So, a twenty year old
Speaker 2: chick and her boyfriend were driving along when suddenly he
Speaker 2: hit a culvert on the side of the road. The
Speaker 2: car went flying, They hit a pole six feet in
Speaker 2: the air, they went through three trees, the car started rolling.
Speaker 2: I mean, photos of this accident are absolutely horrific. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it really is. And this case actually so this woman
Speaker 2: had sent me this story and it was so good
Speaker 2: that I decided to add it into my book too.
Speaker 2: So we have half of the posts in the grocerroom
Speaker 2: showing the accident and what her surgeries looked like after,
Speaker 2: and then the rest of it is in the book,
Speaker 2: which Maria will get to right now. Yeah. So, obviously,
Speaker 2: because of this horrific nature of this crash, first responders
Speaker 2: thought they weren't going to find any survivors, but shockingly
Speaker 2: they did so. Her boyfriend had been thrown one hundred
Speaker 2: and eighty feet from the car, split his head open,
Speaker 2: and broke his shoulder. She unfortunately got pinned in the
Speaker 2: car and because it was rolling the sun roof broke
Speaker 2: and it trapped her arm and degloved it. So what
Speaker 2: is a degloving injury for people that aren't familiar, Well,
Speaker 2: just think of your skin being on your hand or
Speaker 2: really your entire body as being a glove on your hand, right,
Speaker 2: So the skin can just come right off of your
Speaker 2: hand or anywhere on your body, leaving behind the soft tissue,
Speaker 2: muscle and bone. So when you have a degloving injury,
Speaker 2: it's basically when the skin is just ripped right off
Speaker 2: of your hand or anywhere. So, yeah, it could happen,
Speaker 2: and it could happen to your scalp just anywhere where
Speaker 2: you have skin. It could happen, all right. So, because
Speaker 2: of how crunched the car was and the way her
Speaker 2: arm was trapped, the first respounders were having a really
Speaker 2: difficult They were having a really hard time getting her out.
Speaker 2: So this seems like worst key scenario to me. They
Speaker 2: decided that they had to amputate her arm at the
Speaker 2: scene because otherwise they weren't going to be able to
Speaker 2: get her out of the car. Yeah, I mean, unfortunately
Speaker 2: it happens sometimes that they have to do that because
Speaker 2: it's the only way to get a person out and
Speaker 2: it just seems like the most horrible thing that a
Speaker 2: person would have to go through. She was alert enough
Speaker 2: to tell them what her parents' name was and their
Speaker 2: phone numbers, so she was she knew what was happening,
Speaker 2: you know, and I think at that time, when you
Speaker 2: think that, oh, thank god, I've survived this, you don't
Speaker 2: even really care at that point. So they had to
Speaker 2: send a surgeon in and do a field amputation is
Speaker 2: what it's called. So that's not that uncommon then, Like
Speaker 2: they have to do this enough that I wouldn't say
Speaker 2: it's common, but they they have to do it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean there's situations where people just get stuck in
Speaker 2: car accidents are probably the most common, but machinery and
Speaker 2: things like that, and if they can't cut off the
Speaker 2: piece and bring it with the person to the hospital
Speaker 2: that they're stuck in, then that, I mean, they don't
Speaker 2: take that decision lightly to do something like that, you know,
Speaker 2: do they I'm trying to just imagine being in a
Speaker 2: scenario like do they give you any type of local
Speaker 2: anesthetic or it just like it just has to be
Speaker 2: done so quick. I'm assuming that they that there's ways
Speaker 2: to get around all of that. I mean, this isn't
Speaker 2: she was stuck there, so it wasn't like, Okay, this
Speaker 2: thing's about to fall on you right now, we have
Speaker 2: to get you out. I think they probably had some
Speaker 2: time to do something like that at the side. You know,
Speaker 2: they had ems and everything there, so they were probably
Speaker 2: able to do something at least a local anesthetic if
Speaker 2: but maybe more. I'm not sure. All right, So after
Speaker 2: they cut her arm off, they took it with her
Speaker 2: to the hospital. I guess they decided at some point
Speaker 2: that they weren't able to reattach it, so she had
Speaker 2: to go through all of these procedures to get her
Speaker 2: arm formally amputated. What happens with her arm if they
Speaker 2: can't keep it and put it back on, they send
Speaker 2: it to austin pathology. That's what happens, so we get
Speaker 2: it in pathology. And that's something that is pretty common
Speaker 2: to get limbs from people either. Definitely, legs are more
Speaker 2: common for gangreen for people with diabetes are the most common.
Speaker 2: But we definitely have gotten lots of legs and arms,
Speaker 2: especially when I was working in the city. People hit
Speaker 2: by a bus, people hit by a train, there are
Speaker 2: arms and legs cut off people with farming accidents or
Speaker 2: a big one. So yeah, we get the limb in
Speaker 2: pathology and we look at it and we describe the
Speaker 2: injuries that we see, and that's basically just for documentation
Speaker 2: because a lot of these cases might I mean, this
Speaker 2: might go to court if it was a problem with
Speaker 2: the car or if there was another person involved in
Speaker 2: the accident. So you just want to have a really
Speaker 2: good description of where it was damaged and if there was.
Speaker 2: Sometimes there's broken bones in the arm too, as well
Speaker 2: as the end of the margin being all torn up,
Speaker 2: so we describe that. So in this case, her arm
Speaker 2: was amputated, and so that's the case in the book
Speaker 2: of the picture of her arm, that there's grass and
Speaker 2: dirt attached to it. We just get, you know, I've
Speaker 2: gotten legs from train accidents that have like grease from
Speaker 2: the train tracks on it, things like that. So we
Speaker 2: just mentioned all those kinds of things in our report.
Speaker 2: And then we usually keep the limb in a refrigerator
Speaker 2: for like a month and then we dispose of it
Speaker 2: with the rest of the medical waste, so it gets
Speaker 2: burned incinerated. It is interesting. Another thing I should bring
Speaker 2: up is that oftentimes people especially certain religions, people want
Speaker 2: to be buried with their body parts, So a funeral
Speaker 2: home will sometimes come pick up the arm and they
Speaker 2: would have to pay for storage until they died so
Speaker 2: they could be reunited with their body part. Oh so
Speaker 2: at funeral homes they'll just have like a like a
Speaker 2: storage facility of random body parts. Yeah, I guess. I
Speaker 2: don't know if they do it at an Actually that
Speaker 2: was something that you're gonna have to ask a funeral director.
Speaker 2: But they might have like an off site storage unit.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's something that people do. Wow, it's so
Speaker 2: interesting to think about. Yeah, it is. I mean if
Speaker 2: you especially if you have a religion that they believe
Speaker 2: that your whole, you know, people that are against tattoos
Speaker 2: and piercings and things like that, that they want your
Speaker 2: body to be buried whole, then that's kind of a
Speaker 2: big deal for them. Yeah, I understand that. So afterwards,
Speaker 2: she was fitted for a prosthetic, but she decided that
Speaker 2: she was better off without it. I mean, she kind
Speaker 2: of has an amazing recovery story with then what was it,
Speaker 2: two weeks after she got released from the hospital, she
Speaker 2: was able to tie her shoes. Oh yeah, No, she
Speaker 2: was able to very soon after she got released from
Speaker 2: the hospital. She was able to tie her shoes and
Speaker 2: do so. And in the gross room we have the
Speaker 2: video of her tying her shoes, which is just it's
Speaker 2: amazing because and then another thing she could do is
Speaker 2: put her hair in a ponytail. I couldn't believe that
Speaker 2: I could barely do it myself right now, I know, right,
Speaker 2: It's it's so cool that she was. It really shows though,
Speaker 2: when you really want to do something like that instead
Speaker 2: of just sitting there and having a pity party for yourself, like,
Speaker 2: just get up and do it. She did, and it's
Speaker 2: it's really amazing. Yeah, And within six months she went
Speaker 2: back to her job where she built airplane cabins. Think
Speaker 2: about that's nuts, Like, I don't know, I think her
Speaker 2: recovery story this must have been absolutely so traumatic for her.
Speaker 2: And to have resilience like that and be able to
Speaker 2: retrain your body a whole new way of life after
Speaker 2: living twenty years only knowing, you know, a certain way
Speaker 2: of doing things is kind of amazing. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 2: And she was also saying that she had phantom pain.
Speaker 2: Do you know what that is? I know we've touched
Speaker 2: on it in the grossroom a little bit. But can
Speaker 2: you explain it. Yeah, it's just when a person has
Speaker 2: an amputation and they still think that they are feeling
Speaker 2: pain in like let's say, for example, they get their
Speaker 2: leg amputated below their knee, but they still say they
Speaker 2: feel pain in their toes that don't even exist anymore.
Speaker 2: And it's it's a real phenomenon that people experience. And
Speaker 2: it's not only just pain but sensation, like they might
Speaker 2: feel like their toes are too hot or too cold
Speaker 2: when they're not even there, which is kind of insane. Well,
Speaker 2: don't we have an article where we were talking about
Speaker 2: kind of the opposite where somebody has this psychological feeling
Speaker 2: like they shouldn't have their limb so then they get
Speaker 2: it cut off. Oh yeah, that's that's like a whole
Speaker 2: other thing that people just I mean, there's there's differences
Speaker 2: because like we always talk about this when I used
Speaker 2: to tell Pop Pop Py, she get his leg amputated,
Speaker 2: and what is wrong with you? But because he said
Speaker 2: his foot hurts, his foot just hurts so bad and
Speaker 2: he said it felt like a toothache all the time.
Speaker 2: And I would say, well, just get your foot amputated
Speaker 2: then and get a prosthetic. I saw it in the hospital,
Speaker 2: people just having like a semi normal, anatomical looking foot
Speaker 2: that got it amputated because they were in some kind
Speaker 2: of chronic pain that couldn't be fixed with surgery or whatever.
Speaker 2: That's a little bit different than people that just feel
Speaker 2: like they they were born and they shouldn't they they
Speaker 2: feel like they should be an amputee and they want
Speaker 2: to just cut off one of their limbs because they
Speaker 2: don't like their right leg or something. You guys, that's
Speaker 2: just a little bit whack. Like I can't get down
Speaker 2: with that. You guys have no idea what dinners are
Speaker 2: like in our house. While we call you doc your
Speaker 2: death as a joke because you'll just be like, just
Speaker 2: cut your foot off. Or like one day, I'm sitting
Speaker 2: at my desk and take you a sure of my
Speaker 2: foot and she's like, you have rain notes and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: the diagnosis is out of damn. But you know what,
Speaker 2: you could think that I'm extreme. But the guy sat
Speaker 2: around for years and didn't do anything because his foot
Speaker 2: hurt so bad and that's not good to do that, no,
Speaker 2: And instead he could have healed in six weeks and
Speaker 2: got fitted for a prosthetic and been walking around like
Speaker 2: millions of people do that have amputated limbs. So you
Speaker 2: might think it's extreme, but I'm just being practical, Like
Speaker 2: why are you so attached to your foot anyway? Like,
Speaker 2: if it hurts, just get rid of it. I think
Speaker 2: a lot of people can't just get rid of a
Speaker 2: body like that. But I kind of understand what you're saying.
Speaker 2: This next story is called not Cooler. It was also
Speaker 2: submitted by a gross Remember. So this guy was riding
Speaker 2: his motorcycle and in front of him, the driver had
Speaker 2: a trailer with a cooler on it, and it was
Speaker 2: one of those open trailer Like what are those things called?
Speaker 2: Do you even know? It's just like the trailer bed. No,
Speaker 2: but they make me nervous because the story is like
Speaker 2: this because yeah, it's like a trailer bed and then
Speaker 2: people bungee cord shit to it. Yeah, and you're always
Speaker 2: just like this is not going to end. Well, you
Speaker 2: just know that, right, Yeah. So this guy has this cooler,
Speaker 2: like not secured well at all to this trailer that's
Speaker 2: on his truck, and he had one of those old
Speaker 2: school coolers on it, which was you know. Today, I
Speaker 2: feel like most coolers are made where the lids are
Speaker 2: still attached when you open them. But this looked like
Speaker 2: one of the ones from like the eighties or nineties
Speaker 2: where it was like the old white lid that just
Speaker 2: like you took the whole thing off. So basically, because
Speaker 2: this thing is not secured at all, it just the
Speaker 2: lid flies off and hits the guy on the motorcycle.
Speaker 2: You would think he got shot. There is so much blood. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it hit him right in the face. It's nuts. It
Speaker 2: is nuts. There's so much blood and he's he's lucky
Speaker 2: he's not dead, honestly, because he was able to pull over.
Speaker 2: And it's kind of amazing because that really maybe if
Speaker 2: it was a little bit harder, it could have really
Speaker 2: given on brain damage, knocked him off the bike, killed him.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just so scared, No, it really is.
Speaker 2: And when you just I guess, like when you get
Speaker 2: hit in the face, it just bleeds so much. It
Speaker 2: just it is very vascular the faces and the and
Speaker 2: the scalp. There's a lot of little blood vessels there
Speaker 2: that bleed. I mean, most people know that whenever they
Speaker 2: whenever they get an injury like that it bleeds a lot,
Speaker 2: but it looks like did it break his doll or something,
Speaker 2: or it looks like it broke some of his teeth. It. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it was. It was really traumatic. And I mean, listen,
Speaker 2: I'm pretty anti motorcycle as all of you know, because
Speaker 2: there's just so many different things that could happen. And
Speaker 2: it's like my dad always rode a motorcycle, and it's
Speaker 2: it's like, you're not worried. I'm not worried that my
Speaker 2: dad wouldn't be able to ride the motorcycle. I'm worried
Speaker 2: about everything else around you. Yeah, things like this, things
Speaker 2: flying off. I mean, that would suck if it happened
Speaker 2: to a car, and that could that happens sometimes, and
Speaker 2: I've seen things like that just at the medical's office
Speaker 2: or medical examiner's office, like when I was rotating air
Speaker 2: of things like flying off the off of a car
Speaker 2: and landing into the windshields and things like that. So
Speaker 2: that could just happen anybody driving. But when it's when
Speaker 2: there's a car barrier in between you, you have a
Speaker 2: little bit more protection than just you against that that item,
Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, And I just don't think a lot
Speaker 2: a lot of people I feel like, just like throw
Speaker 2: stuff in their car or just aren't thinking about stuff
Speaker 2: and they never secure it down properly, and you don't
Speaker 2: think of how horrible something like that could be, especially
Speaker 2: if you're on the highway and going really fast and
Speaker 2: it happens and just a split second. Oh every skill
Speaker 2: time I'm driving, if I see anyone that has anything
Speaker 2: in the back of their car like that, I always
Speaker 2: go as far away from as possible from them because
Speaker 2: I'm so scared of something like that happening. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: you're sent You see that all the time, just people
Speaker 2: putting at even if it's a mattress. It's soft, right,
Speaker 2: it's not gonna your car. But like, you don't need
Speaker 2: that flying in front of your car when you're going
Speaker 2: seventy miles an hour because you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: Like it will be a problem if you hit it,
Speaker 2: or if you swerve and hit another car. So I
Speaker 2: think we can also agree that nothing is scarier than
Speaker 2: driving behind one of those trucks that's carrying a bunch
Speaker 2: of cars on it. Oh yeah, that, I know. I
Speaker 2: hate that, so fad I know you're you're like the
Speaker 2: worst with that. I'm always like this is gonna be
Speaker 2: some final destination like thing happening with one of them.
Speaker 2: Didn't we look it up though, Like, didn't we look
Speaker 2: it up to see if that happens. And then there
Speaker 2: was some cases of it happening because we're just like,
Speaker 2: there's no way that this has never happened before, that
Speaker 2: these cars don't fall off of this thing. No, it's
Speaker 2: definitely happened before, but it's not as common. Like they're
Speaker 2: bouncing on there and stuff, and you're like one chain
Speaker 2: has to break and those things go flying, right, But
Speaker 2: I think that it's definitely happened, but it's not common.
Speaker 2: Another thing to note about this particular case is that
Speaker 2: it is really important that if you do ride a
Speaker 2: motorcycle to put not only have a helmet, but to
Speaker 2: wear a face shield, because if he was wearing a
Speaker 2: face shield that was a very hard plastic it may
Speaker 2: have saved him in this case from getting at least
Speaker 2: an injury of this of this severity that was causing
Speaker 2: him to bleed and stuff. It may have hit his
Speaker 2: shield that it may have broke, and it could have
Speaker 2: even it could have even hurt him just as bad.
Speaker 2: But you should I mean stuff like rocks and little
Speaker 2: pebbles flying in your face could really hurt you and
Speaker 2: especially could injure your eyes. So it's just important.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, we were just driving the other day and
Speaker 2: a rock hit your windshield all of a sudden or
Speaker 2: what was it an a corner, a rock, I don't know,
Speaker 2: but imagine just being open and then that hits you.
Speaker 2: Something about the design of my windshield because Gabe was
Speaker 2: saying that too. It's just like I have like five
Speaker 2: nicks on my windshield from rocks and stuff. It just
Speaker 2: must just the angle of it or something must just
Speaker 2: be more prone to getting injured. Yeah, that is very bizarre.
Speaker 2: I mean, feel like it should be a really good
Speaker 2: glass though, don't you like it shouldn't be getting nicked
Speaker 2: that easily, But well it does, all right. Let's get
Speaker 2: onto this next one called dangerous weapon. So this guy
Speaker 2: was sleeping at his son's house because he had a
Speaker 2: power outage, and as he was sleeping, he rolled out
Speaker 2: of bed and landed on this thermost that was laying
Speaker 2: on the floor, and during the fall, the plastic lid
Speaker 2: of this thermost. Just to give you I was trying,
Speaker 2: I was having a hard time visualizing you before I
Speaker 2: saw the pictures. It looks like the lid of like
Speaker 2: a Stanley cup or something like yeah, or like a yeah,
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, like a Yetti coffee cut that
Speaker 2: plastic lid that tweezes into into the cop Yeah. So
Speaker 2: as he is falling and hits this thing, the lid
Speaker 2: breaks and it cut part of his ear off. Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's so outrageous, like a big chunk of his ear off.
Speaker 2: So the plastic I don't even understand how it broke
Speaker 2: just with his body, seems yeah, because it's such thick plastic,
Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, But I don't know whatever angle it happened,
Speaker 2: but the plastic broke, and it was so sharp that
Speaker 2: it amputated a chunk of his ear off. Well, I
Speaker 2: think if those things I'm talking about one particular day
Speaker 2: where I had one of those to go Starbucks cups
Speaker 2: and my husband decided it would be funny to karate
Speaker 2: chop it off of the kitchen counter, and then it
Speaker 2: fell on the floor and broke like that. So maybe
Speaker 2: if they do fall from maybe if it was on
Speaker 2: a table or something and fell and hit the floor,
Speaker 2: it maybe had like a little stress crack and then
Speaker 2: him falling on it just did the job. I don't know.
Speaker 2: But so the weirdest part of this story is that
Speaker 2: they decided in his family that they should take this
Speaker 2: chunk of his ear to the hospital, and they poured
Speaker 2: contact lens solution in a baggy and then brought it
Speaker 2: to the hospital. Could that do anything to help it? No? I,
Speaker 2: in fact would say that it may have made it
Speaker 2: impossible to reattach it because contact I understand that you
Speaker 2: would think contact solution is like saline solution, but it's not.
Speaker 2: It has like chemicals in it and antibacterial chemicals that
Speaker 2: kill any kind of germs to clean the contacts. Right,
Speaker 2: So there is saline, but there's other things in it,
Speaker 2: and there's like hydrogen peroxide in it, right, And hydrogen
Speaker 2: peroxide while it does it would kill germs and prevent
Speaker 2: any kind of bacteria from growing on the chunk of ear,
Speaker 2: it also breaks down and the tissue and kills tissue.
Speaker 2: So they may have actually ruined the piece of tissue
Speaker 2: by putting it in the contact solution. You're really supposed
Speaker 2: to just put it on ice and put it You're
Speaker 2: supposed to. You really should rinse it off, wrap it
Speaker 2: up in gauze at anything that you have it's sterile
Speaker 2: at home, would be okay, but you would put it
Speaker 2: in a bag and then put that bag on ice
Speaker 2: and bring it to the hospital. That way would really
Speaker 2: be the best thing to do. Yeah, I mean it
Speaker 2: kind of sucks because it's like I would think maybe
Speaker 2: I was doing the right thing too, but I don't know,
Speaker 2: like I would nobody has. Nobody has like this list
Speaker 2: in the back of their head of like what happens
Speaker 2: if some because nobody's thinking that anybody's going to have
Speaker 2: a body part cut off in front of them. But
Speaker 2: I'm just telling everybody here now, don't put it in
Speaker 2: contact solution and the best thing is to just put
Speaker 2: it on ice and bring it and let them handle it.
Speaker 2: You're not there's no magic chemical in your house that's
Speaker 2: going to save this thing. Like, and it could just
Speaker 2: be they couldn't reattach it whatever, but I think that
Speaker 2: they fucked it up. This episode is brought to you
Speaker 2: by The Grosser Room. Guys, guess what. The Grosser Room

Speaker 2: especially six shocking stories. You could see the case we
Speaker 2: just were talking about with the cooler incident and how
Speaker 2: much blood there was everywhere, you wouldn't believe it. And
Speaker 2: this poor twenty year old girl who had to get
Speaker 2: her arm amputated, and you could see how horrific that
Speaker 2: crash was and watch the video of her tying her shoes.
Speaker 2: It's really amazing. So join tomorrow for only twenty dollars
Speaker 2: for the first year. So visit the grossroom dot com
Speaker 2: for more info and to sign up. Okay, In twenty thirteen,
Speaker 2: in Brazil, this woman gave birth to her son. So
Speaker 2: she noticed as a young baby he had really odd behavior,
Speaker 2: meaning that he would always have his arms crossed over
Speaker 2: his chest. When he started to walk, he would walk
Speaker 2: with his hands behind his back, with his hands in
Speaker 2: his pocket. I mean, it's kind of weird for like
Speaker 2: a one year old to be. Yeah, remember Lillian knew
Speaker 2: so when she first started walking, she like crawled like
Speaker 2: a spider, like half of a leg up. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: so funny. Those videos are hilarious. Yeah, so this woman
Speaker 2: realized that her uncle used to have similar mannerisms, but
Speaker 2: she just thought it was weird and stopped thinking too
Speaker 2: much about it because she's like, whatever, I mean, he's
Speaker 2: a baby. So around this time, she also started having dreams,
Speaker 2: and in her dreams, someone came to her and said
Speaker 2: that her uncle, who was murdered decades before this, that
Speaker 2: he was back, but as her son. So he basically
Speaker 2: was reincarnated in her son's body. But again, it was
Speaker 2: a dream, so she didn't think all that much of it,
Speaker 2: but she thought it was really weird. So then she
Speaker 2: did tell her brother that she had this dream, and
Speaker 2: he thought he also had intuition that the baby might
Speaker 2: have been connected to the uncle in some way. I mean,
Speaker 2: what would you even think if the family member was
Speaker 2: telling you this. I you know, there's some stories that
Speaker 2: I've heard like this that, And when we finished telling
Speaker 2: you this, you're gonna be like, Okay, let's just think
Speaker 2: about this. And the only reason that we're bringing this up,
Speaker 2: this very non scientific death story, is because it's actually
Speaker 2: part of a scientific paper where there's lots of examples
Speaker 2: of children who claim to be reincarnated as someone else.
Speaker 2: And when you think about a child telling a story
Speaker 2: and some of the similarities, you almost think there's no
Speaker 2: way even if an adult tried to coach a kid
Speaker 2: to do all these things, that it wouldn't be so coincidental.
Speaker 2: And so let's get into more specifics of this particular case.
Speaker 2: They had said that the child had made thirteen statements
Speaker 2: about his previous life, and nine of them were correct,
Speaker 2: well correct something they resembled exact life experiences of the uncle. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so the uncle apparently was working at a job and
Speaker 2: someone came in and shot him to death, and the
Speaker 2: child made statements saying that he got shot in the
Speaker 2: head and that he was laying in water. So witnesses
Speaker 2: that were there that saw this uncle getting murdered said
Speaker 2: that he was laying in blood when he died. He
Speaker 2: just knew these very specific things. He knew that the
Speaker 2: uncle had a wooden rocking horse when he was a child,
Speaker 2: and then he knew that he had a horse. That
Speaker 2: the apparently the uncle had a horse and the mom
Speaker 2: had given it away or sold it and told him that,
Speaker 2: you know, they never explained where the horse went. And
Speaker 2: he said he had a horse when he was a child.
Speaker 2: That ran away so well that and then he just
Speaker 2: started doing other weird things, like when he was in
Speaker 2: between three and four years old, he would get underneath
Speaker 2: of a bicycle like he was fixing it like a car.
Speaker 2: And the uncle was a manic, so that's kind of
Speaker 2: also weird behavior for a three year old to get
Speaker 2: underneath of a bicycle be fixing it and know all
Speaker 2: the mannerisms. And yet so they had the horse too.
Speaker 2: He also called his grandmother, who was the uncle's sister,
Speaker 2: by her childhood nickname that nobody called her except for him,
Speaker 2: and her daughter didn't even know that she had this nickname.
Speaker 2: One of the weirdest parts of this case as well,
Speaker 2: if this isn't weird enough, is that he had this
Speaker 2: in debt in his skull called an occipital concavity, and
Speaker 2: it resembles an area where a person would be shot
Speaker 2: like that that's how the direction of the projectile would
Speaker 2: go through the skull, and it's just very it's a
Speaker 2: very unusual defect to have of the skull, and it's
Speaker 2: just weird that this guy was shot in the skull
Speaker 2: and the kids saying that he was shot and he
Speaker 2: has this giant in debt in his skull. It's so weird. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean they were referencing in this scientific paper, so
Speaker 2: this was kind of like the main case they focused
Speaker 2: on in this scientific paper. But they were saying that overall,
Speaker 2: a lot of times that these cases would most happen
Speaker 2: often in people associated with really violent deaths. It would
Speaker 2: more often than not be a male child. I think
Speaker 2: seventy four percent of the cases were investigated in Asia,
Speaker 2: so that's really interesting that most of it was kind
Speaker 2: of like overseas from here because just spiritually, you know,
Speaker 2: people in the United States, like this family was Catholic,
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of Catholic people in the United States,
Speaker 2: so they were saying people that are Catholic don't often
Speaker 2: believe in reincarnation. So the family was having a really
Speaker 2: hard time believing what they were hearing and how it
Speaker 2: was matching up with some other Asian cultures really strongly
Speaker 2: believe in reincarnation. So they were looking into it a
Speaker 2: little further over there, which is so fascinating to think about.
Speaker 2: And in some of these cases, the child was born
Speaker 2: with some congenital anomaly that, like in case, mimicked the
Speaker 2: way in which the person died in some form of
Speaker 2: a scar, or if they were stabbed or shot like
Speaker 2: in this case. It's so interesting, it is. And if
Speaker 2: somebody said to me right now, like what do you
Speaker 2: think about reincarnation, I would just be like, it's whatever,
Speaker 2: it's probably bullshit. But then when you hear stories like this,
Speaker 2: it's just like it really makes you think the guy,
Speaker 2: the guy the kid knew that he was shot by.
Speaker 2: He said, I was shot by a theft and here
Speaker 2: the guy that did shoot the uncle was someone that
Speaker 2: was stealing money by from the company he was working for.
Speaker 2: It's just like, how would a child know this? And
Speaker 2: they interviewed the parents, and they interviewed witnesses of the
Speaker 2: murder and everything, and they just don't None of them
Speaker 2: were in the same room together to even tell the kid.
Speaker 2: The parents didn't even know a lot of this stuff.
Speaker 2: It's just so crazy. Yeah, And they also said that
Speaker 2: most often children who claim these previous life memories spontaneously
Speaker 2: blurt them out. I mean two in five years old
Speaker 2: when they start speaking coherently, and then as they get older,
Speaker 2: it gradually stops by the time they're around eight or
Speaker 2: nine years old. So that's really crazy. Do you think
Speaker 2: they're starting to form their own memories that are like
Speaker 2: now taking over what they knew from this alleged past life.
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know, because then to say that
Speaker 2: you would have to you would have to say that
Speaker 2: this is one hundred percent really happening, and a lot
Speaker 2: of things could just be coincidental, you know. But I
Speaker 2: like that this was done in a scientific way because
Speaker 2: they're really going through the proper motions of like how
Speaker 2: to prove that this is actually happening, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's and this is not the only kid one of
Speaker 2: it said. It was part of a larger study called
Speaker 2: National Survey of Cases of Reincarnation type in Brazil. It's
Speaker 2: pretty it's pretty specific, but lots of different examples, and
Speaker 2: that one was just really interesting to me. Yeah, it
Speaker 2: really was, all right. This next one's called a series
Speaker 2: of fortunate events. So on a cold night, this guy
Speaker 2: was walking home. He might have been a little drunk.
Speaker 2: He was walking home from some bars, so he had
Speaker 2: taken his gloves off at some point to text. As
Speaker 2: he was walking, he went to climb over a snowpile,
Speaker 2: slipped and hit his head, so his glasses and his
Speaker 2: phone go flying and because I'm assuming he was a
Speaker 2: little buzz he didn't think to put his gloves back
Speaker 2: on and was searching for about an hour in the snow.
Speaker 2: Can't see that well because his glasses flew off, and
Speaker 2: he's looking for his phone in his glasses with bare fingers,
Speaker 2: just searching through the snow. And what happens. Hey got
Speaker 2: severe frostbite. The pictures of this are crazy. It literally
Speaker 2: looks like you took your hands and dipped them halfway
Speaker 2: in acid. Yeah, I mean, it really can look nasty.
Speaker 2: And frostbite'es a weird thing because sometimes it could kind
Speaker 2: of sneak up on you. You don't really know what's
Speaker 2: happening at the time, especially if you have darker skin color.
Speaker 2: It's really difficult to determine that your skin has turned
Speaker 2: earned a color it shouldn't be kind of, you know,
Speaker 2: and sometimes you could do too much damage that it
Speaker 2: can't be fixed. Luckily, in this case, they were able
Speaker 2: to bring him to the hospital and they gave him
Speaker 2: something called they put him in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber,
Speaker 2: which is it justice to increase blood flow, because it
Speaker 2: blood flow is what heals any kind of wound and
Speaker 2: bringing more oxygen to the site of the wound is
Speaker 2: what's going to make it heal. And fortunately they were
Speaker 2: able to allow it to heal and they didn't have
Speaker 2: to amputate his fingers because a lot of times if
Speaker 2: you get severer frostbite, it ends up in amputation. Every
Speaker 2: time I think of frostbite, I think of that scene
Speaker 2: in Mister Deed's which is that was so funny when
Speaker 2: that happened. Yeah, Adam Sandler's like toes are black and
Speaker 2: he has the butler like hitting them with a what
Speaker 2: is that called, like the poker for a fireplace. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's all I ever associated frostbite with. But yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: he is really lucky that he was able to save
Speaker 2: the I can't. Oh my god, it's so gross looking
Speaker 2: at the pictures of it, just the way it looks
Speaker 2: like it hurts so bad. So when you're outside and
Speaker 2: it's really really cold out your body, you know, your
Speaker 2: body's ninety eight degrees fahrenheit, right, and when you're cold,
Speaker 2: your body has to stay that hot in order for
Speaker 2: you to live and your organs to stay alive. So
Speaker 2: what happens is that the body turns off all of
Speaker 2: the blood vessels, basically in your arms, your legs, your nose,
Speaker 2: anywhere that's like far away from your heart that needs
Speaker 2: to be beating right to keep you alive. It kind
Speaker 2: of squeezes off all of those vessels. It's called vaso constriction,
Speaker 2: so all the blood stays towards the heart to keep
Speaker 2: the body warm. Because really it's like your body's way
Speaker 2: of saving your life, because you could be a torso
Speaker 2: you don't have to have arms and legs to live, right.
Speaker 2: But unfortunately with that, when the blood isn't going to
Speaker 2: the arms and the feet as much, you're going to
Speaker 2: have an increased susceptibility of getting frostbite, which is why
Speaker 2: you get it on your fingers and your toes and
Speaker 2: tip of your nose and things like that. So it's
Speaker 2: pretty it's pretty cool, like from a biology standpoint, how
Speaker 2: the body kind of adapts to certain environments, but you
Speaker 2: really need to be careful in those situations because you
Speaker 2: can get frostbite and lose your fingertips, even your hands.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it could get really bad. Yeah, didn't
Speaker 2: we report earlier this year that at a Kansas City
Speaker 2: Chiefs game, it was so cold outside that so many
Speaker 2: people were getting frostbite and hospitalized for it. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: just don't think. I guess you don't think about it
Speaker 2: if you're outside for that long of a period of time.
Speaker 2: But just think, like, your body has to be as
Speaker 2: hot as a summer day, right, ninety eight degrees, So
Speaker 2: if you go outside and you're outside for hours and
Speaker 2: it's degrees out, I mean, this is going to happen
Speaker 2: to everyone, you know. Yeah, all right. Our last story
Speaker 2: is called let Me Try and pick your brain. Early
Speaker 2: in the morning one day, a man with schizophrenia broke
Speaker 2: into a construction site and stole a pickax. So I
Speaker 2: think everybody could imagine this is not going well. So
Speaker 2: shortly after, he took the pickaxe and just chose a
Speaker 2: random person on the street and started attacking them and
Speaker 2: hit them in the head. Yeah, so we hit them
Speaker 2: in the head, and then the pickaxe broke off, so
Speaker 2: it's on a wooden handle and it broke. So the
Speaker 2: guy then picked up the piece that was broken that
Speaker 2: had the axe on it and continued hitting them in
Speaker 2: the head with it, and then hit him in the
Speaker 2: abdomen a few times, and then hit him in the
Speaker 2: hand and then just left it and walked away. They
Speaker 2: were able to call. They bystanders were there and they
Speaker 2: were able to call the ambulance. And but I mean,
Speaker 2: he was he was dead when when they showed up,
Speaker 2: they pronounced him dead. So because this is kind of like,
Speaker 2: this is like a sharp instrument but it's big, Like
Speaker 2: what kind of injuries does this cause? Exactly? Because would
Speaker 2: it be more like a stab wound because it's sharp,
Speaker 2: or it's a special kind of wound called the chop wound.
Speaker 2: So it's it's a combination of what you would see
Speaker 2: with blunt trauma. So with blunt trauma, you would see bruises,
Speaker 2: and you would see tearing or lacerations, and then it's
Speaker 2: and then with sharp trauma, you would see really smooth
Speaker 2: borders of an injury. So think about if you hit
Speaker 2: someone with a baseball bat versus stab someone, the injuries
Speaker 2: would just look different. And this is kind of a
Speaker 2: combination of both of those things. So in the skull,
Speaker 2: in the scalp, we saw the injuries. They looked like
Speaker 2: almost like life wounds because they were very smooth and sharp,
Speaker 2: but also had bruising around them because of the heavy
Speaker 2: object hitting against the skull. And also when the I
Speaker 2: mean this is really disgusting. But when the pick got
Speaker 2: underneath of the skin and the guy pulled it, it
Speaker 2: ripped the skin right off of the scalp, you know,
Speaker 2: so disgusting. And then also so when they took the
Speaker 2: when they reflected the scalp and looked at the skull,
Speaker 2: there was a skull fracture. There were two skull fractures,
Speaker 2: one linear one that just looked like a line that
Speaker 2: was cracked. But the other one had a very specific
Speaker 2: appearance that you would see in blunt trauma. That it
Speaker 2: was a depressed skull fracture. So we talked about that.
Speaker 2: Remember we wrote up that case of that baseball player
Speaker 2: that got killed with the baseball like years ago. Oh,
Speaker 2: Ray Chapman. Yeah, So that's the kind of skull fracture
Speaker 2: that you would see that it's a very specific look.
Speaker 2: It almost looks like a cracked egg in a way
Speaker 2: that all the pieces stay together, but they kind of
Speaker 2: compress in where this heavy object has hit. But interesting,
Speaker 2: when they took the skull off, they were able to
Speaker 2: see that there was like this hole in the center
Speaker 2: of it that looked like a V shaped triangle, which
Speaker 2: was from the tip of the axe going through so
Speaker 2: it's just a combination of both of those wounds. But
Speaker 2: the interesting thing is is that that's not what killed him.
Speaker 2: Was the sky The getting hit in the head didn't
Speaker 2: kill them, so what did? So when they opened so
Speaker 2: we had a wound on the abdomen. He got stabbed
Speaker 2: in the abdomen a couple of times, and when they
Speaker 2: opened them up, the pickaxe had went through his a
Speaker 2: order and he bled to death internally. Isn't that nuts
Speaker 2: that think you get hit that many times in the
Speaker 2: head and that's not what takes you out. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: they didn't say anything in the report about him having
Speaker 2: any kind of major brain trauma or bleed from that.
Speaker 2: Obviously he'd have some kind of injury from it, but
Speaker 2: it was very, uh, superficial as far as as the
Speaker 2: damage done to the skull. It wasn't like a super
Speaker 2: big skull fracture that there were chunks of brain coming
Speaker 2: through and stuff, you know what I mean. It's just
Speaker 2: so scary to think that you're just like walking down
Speaker 2: the street and that something like that would happen to you. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we hear about it a lot, Like it's scary. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, there's nothing you could do to prevent it either.
Speaker 2: It's just horrific. I posted this case in the gross
Speaker 2: room yesterday, was it or Sunday maybe, saying that we
Speaker 2: were going to talk about it on the podcast today,
Speaker 2: and a couple of people in the comments said that
Speaker 2: they were in a situation where someone it like beat
Speaker 2: them up. It just came up to them and punched
Speaker 2: them in the face or something, when when they totally
Speaker 2: unprovoked it. Like, imagine that just somebody coming up to
Speaker 2: you and beating you up like that. It's just so
Speaker 2: weird that there was a thing going on a couple
Speaker 2: of months ago where I guess I'm probably watching this.
Speaker 2: I think that women that were influencers were walking around cities,
Speaker 2: you know, like filming themselves talking or whatever, and then
Speaker 2: they were getting like punched in the face when they
Speaker 2: were in the middle of taking videos, so they had
Speaker 2: the attack like on film. Yeah, well that's probably why
Speaker 2: they did it. I don't remember hearing about that, but
Speaker 2: it's just horrific because Bethany Frankel said it happened to her,
Speaker 2: and a lot of people didn't believe her. But well,
Speaker 2: the scary thing is is that when you just said that,
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah that didn't happen, but yeah, who knows,
Speaker 2: who knows? But all right, thank you guys so much.
