In Episode 31 of The Dancing Toaster, we dive into the eerie true story of Don Decker, a Pennsylvania inmate who walked out of jail for his grandfather’s funeral—and seemingly brought a supernatural storm with him. What began as a quiet act of compassion unraveled into an unexplainable series of paranormal events involving levitation, water pouring from ceilings, police officers witnessing impossible rainfall, and crucifixes that burned on contact. Was Don a victim of demonic possession, unresolved trauma, or something more sinister— something that moved with him from house to pizza shop to prison cell? With eyewitness testimony from law enforcement, landlords, and clergy, this episode explores one of the strangest modern hauntings on record and asks the question: what happens when a broken heart becomes a doorway for something dark?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
