For this week’s episode, Rae is telling us about one of the most popular, yet scary internet urban legends out there. The Russian Sleep Experiment! This horrific tale was originally posted online on Aug 10, 2010 by an anonymous user that goes by the alias “Orange Soda”.

As the story goes, Russian researchers in the late 1940’s kept five political prisoners as test subjects, where each of them was forced to stay awake for fifteen days using an experimental gas based stimulant.

They were all kept in a sealed environment to carefully monitor their oxygen intake, and they were left with enough food to last them all over a month.

After the 5th day, the experiment takes a horrifying turn for the worse. The subjects went completely insane. Continuous screaming, extreme self mutilation, and even brutal cannibalism unfolded amongst the prisoners as the days passed. Buckle in! And thanks for listening!
