I Died 14 Times: My Birthday Curse

I Died 14 Times: My Birthday Curse

Waking up unharmed after dying a violent death is impossible, yet Rick claims it happened to him 14 times. Each August 18th, he dies, only to wake up the next morning, while someone close to him dies in his place. How can a man repeatedly cheat death, and what price does he pay for it?

In this episode, we hear the chilling account of Rick, a man who believes he is cursed to die on his birthday, only for a loved one to suffer the same fate. We explore the inexplicable details of his first two deaths, the eerie coincidences, and the desperate search for a rational explanation that never comes.
