The Russian Sleep Experiment (03:11 – 17:11)

Background:

• Originated in 2010, attributed to the user “Orange Soda.”
• Premise: In late 1940s Russia, researchers experimented on political prisoners—keeping them awake for 15 days with a gas-based stimulant.

Story Breakdown:

• Experimental Setup:

  • Five prisoners promised freedom if they stayed awake for 30 days.
  • Sealed chamber; monitored via microphones and glass portholes.
  • Essential supplies but no bedding.

• Descent into Madness:

  • First 5 days: Normal behavior, camaraderie.
  • After 5 days: Increasing paranoia, dark conversations, isolation.
  • By day 9: Screaming fits start, voice loss from self-inflicted trauma.
  • Chilling moment:

    "We are opening the chamber to test the microphones. Step away from the door and lie flat on the floor or you will be shot. Compliance will earn one of you your immediate freedom." ([06:15])
    To which the subjects eerily reply:
    "We no longer want to be freed."

• Unthinkable Self-Mutilation:

  • Windows covered with feces-smeared book pages; all communication stops.
  • On opening the chamber, survivors are found severely mutilated, with evidence of self-consumed flesh and organs removed and placed on the floor.
  • The test subjects plead for the gas to be turned back on, fearing sleep more than mutilation.

• Violent Climax:

  • Extraction leads to fatal violence—soldiers killed or driven to suicide; subjects nearly impossible to sedate.
  • Surgery without anesthesia is tolerated, with patients grinning or laughing during the agony.
  • When asked why they did this to themselves:

    "I must remain awake." ([12:45])

• Final Showdown and Notable Quote:

  • A researcher confronts a test subject, demanding to know what he is:

    "We are you. We are the madness that lurks within you, begging to be freed at every moment in your deepest and animal mind. We are what you hide from in your beds every night. We are what you sedate into silence and paralysis when you go into the nocturnal haven where we cannot tread." ([16:50])

  • As the subject is killed:

    "So nearly free." ([17:10])

Interpretation & Impact:

• Heidi’s reaction:

  "So good, so good, so good." ([18:12])

  • She marvels at the story’s power to evoke primal fears—our terror of sleeplessness, madness, and the darkness inside.

---

Gateway of the Mind (19:27 – 22:45)

Background:

• Authorship unknown—a classic mysterious creepypasta.
• Premise: In 1983, scientists attempt to remove all sensory input from a man so he may contact God.

Story Breakdown:

• Experiment Details:

  • Deeply religious scientists hypothesize that lack of sensory distraction will open a person’s mind to the divine.
  • An elderly volunteer undergoes radical surgery, severing all sensory nerves yet retaining movement and speech.

• Progression into the Unknown:

  • Initial confusion, then the man claims to hear hushed voices.
  • Voices intensify—he believes he’s communicating with the dead, sharing specific details unknown to the scientists.
  • The man becomes tormented:
    • Overwhelmed by thousands of voices, begs for sedatives, experiences night terrors.
    • Loses touch with reality—bites his own flesh, continuously weeps, must be restrained and rehydrated by staff.

• Philosophical and Fatal Conclusion:

  • The subject makes a chilling declaration, gazing sightlessly at the scientists:

    "I have spoken with God and he has abandoned us." ([22:37])

  • He dies, with no apparent physical cause.

Heidi’s Reflection:

• She presents the story as a perfect example of how attempts to pierce cosmic mysteries often end in horror and futility, leaving the listener with a final jolt.

Closing Thoughts

Heidi Wong’s voice draws listeners inexorably into chilling “what if” scenarios that blend vintage horror and urban legend. This episode’s chilling tales reflect our darkest curiosities: What if science was used not to heal but to shatter the mind? What if a quest for truth only revealed a deeper, cosmic nihilism?

Heidi wraps up by inviting listeners to share their own twisted tales and teases more nightmares to come, reinforcing:

"There's no reason to fear the dark unless you try to hide from it." ([22:58])

[Heidi Wong]

To kick things off, I had to start with the king of all creepypastas. It's called the Russian Sleep Experiment and it was first posted in 2010 by someone with the username Orange Soda. Russian researchers in the late 1940s kept five people awake for 15 days using an experimental gas based stimulant. They were kept in a sealed environment to carefully monitor their oxygen intake so the gas didn't kill them since it was toxic in high concentrations. This was before closed circuit cameras so they had only microphones and 5 inch thick glass porthole sized windows into the chamber to monitor them. The chamber was stocked with books and costs to sleep on, but no bedding a as well as running water, a toilet and enough dried food to last all five for over a month. The test subjects were all political prisoners deemed enemies of the state during World War II. Everything was fine for the first five days, which is surprising to me to be honest. The subjects hardly complained, having been promised falsely that they would be freed if they submitted to the test and did not sleep for 30 days. Their conversations and activities were monitored and it was noted that they continued to talk about increasingly traumatic incidents in their past. The general tone of their conversations took a darker aspect after the four day mark. After five days they started to complain about the circumstances and events that led them to where they were and started to demonstrate severe paranoia. They stopped talking to each other and began alternately whispering into the microphones and one way mirrored portholes. Oddly, they all seemed to think that they could win the trust of the experimenters by turning over their comrades, the other subjects in captivity, with them. At first the researchers suspected this was an effect of the gas itself. After nine days, the first of them started screaming. He ran the length of the chamber repeatedly yelling at the top of his lungs for three hours straight, at which point he continued attempting to scream but was only able to produce occasional squeaks. The researchers postulated that he had physically torn his vocal cords. The most surprising thing about this behavior was how the other captives reacted to it, or rather didn't react to it. They continued whispering into the microphones until the second of the captives started to scream. The two non screaming captives took the books apart, smeared page after page with their own feces, and pasted them calmly over the glass portholes. The screaming promptly stopped. So did the whispering into the microphones. After three more days passed, the researchers checked the microphones hourly to make sure they were working. Since they thought it was impossible that no sound could be occurring with five people inside, the oxygen consumption in the chamber indicated that all five must still be alive. In fact, it was the amount of oxygen five people would consume at a very heavy level of strenuous exercise. On the morning of the 14th day, the researchers did something they said they would not do to get a reaction from the captives. They used the intercom inside the chamber, hoping to provoke any response from the people they were afraid were either dead or vegetables.

[Karina Beamersterfer]

They were.

[Heidi Wong]

They announced, we are opening the chamber to test the microphones. Step away from the door and lie flat on the floor or you will be shot. Compliance will earn one of you your immediate freedom. To their surprise, they heard a calm voice respond in a single we no longer want to be freed. Debate broke out among the researchers and the military forces funding the research. Unable to provoke any more response using the intercom, it was finally decided to open the chamber at midnight on the 15th day.

the chamber was flushed of the stimulant gas and filled with fresh air, and immediately voices from the microphones began to object. Three different voices began begging as if pleading for the life of their loved ones to turn the gas back on. The chamber was opened and soldiers were sent in to retrieve the test subjects. They began to scream louder than ever, and so did the soldiers when they saw what was inside. Four of the five subjects were still alive, although no one could rightly call the state that any of them were in life. The food rations for the past five days had not been touched. There were chunks of meat from dead test subjects, thighs and chests stuffed into the drain in the center of the chamber, blocking it and allowing 4 inches of water to accumulate on the floor. Precisely how much of the water on the floor was actually blood was never determined. All four surviving test subjects also had large portions of muscle and skin torn away from their bodies. The destruction of flesh and exposed bone on their fingertips indicated that the wounds were inflicted by hand, not with teeth as the researchers initially thought. Closer examination of the positions and angles of the wounds indicated that most, if not all of them were self inflicted. The abdominal organs below the ribcage of four test subjects had been removed while the heart, lungs and diaphragm remained in place. The skin and most of the muscles attached to the ribs had been ripped off, exposing the lungs through the ribcage. All the blood vessels and organs remained intact but had been taken out and laid on the floor, fanning out around the eviscerated but still living bodies of the subjects. The digestive tract of all four were seen to be working, digesting food. It quickly became apparent that what they were digesting was their own flesh that they had ripped off and eaten over the course of days. Most of the soldiers were Russian special operatives at the facility, but still many refused to return to the chamber to remove the test subjects. The subjects themselves continued to scream to be left in the chamber and begged and demanded that that the gas be turned back on lest they fall asleep to everyone's surprise, the test subjects put up a fierce fight in the process of being removed from the chamber. One of the Russian soldiers died from having his throat ripped out, and another was gravely injured by having his testicles ripped off in an artery in his leg severed by one of the test subject's teeth. Another five of the soldiers lost their lives, if you count the ones that committed suicide in the weeks following the incident. In the struggle, one of the four living subjects had his spleen ruptured and bled out almost immediately. The medical researchers attempted to sedate him, but this proved impossible. He was injected with more than 10 times the human dose of a morphine derivative and still fought like a cornered animal, breaking the ribs and arm of one doctor. His heart was seen to beat for a full two minutes after he had bled out, to the point where there was more air in his vascular system than blood. Even after it stopped, he continued to scream and flail for another three minutes, struggling to attack anyone in reach and just repeating the word more over and over, weaker and weaker, until he finally fell silent. The surviving three test subjects were heavily restrained and moved to a medical facility, the two with intact vocal cords continuously begging for the gas, demanding to be kept awake. The most injured of the three was taken to the only surgical operating room that the facility had. In the process of preparing the subject to have his organs placed back within his body, it was found that he was effectively immune to the sedative they gave him to prepare him for the surgery, he fought furiously against his restraints. When the anesthetic gas was brought out to put him under, he managed to tear most of the way through a 4 inch wide leather strap on one wrist. Even through the weight of a 200 pound soldier holding that wrist, it took only a little more anesthetic than normal to put him under. As and the instant his eyelids fluttered and closed, his heart stopped. In the autopsy of the test subject that died on the operating table, it was found that his blood had tripled the normal level of oxygen. The muscles that were still attached to his skeleton were badly torn, and he had broken nine bones in his struggle not to be subdued. Most of them were from the force his own muscles had exerted on them. The second survivor had been the first of the group of five to start screaming. His vocal cords were destroyed, so he was unable to beg or object to

[Katie Ring]

surgery, and he only reacted by shaking

[Heidi Wong]

his head violently in disapproval when the anesthetic gas was brought near him. He shook his head yes when someone suggested reluctantly that they should try the surgery without anesthetic and did not react for the entire six hour procedure of placing his abdominal organs and attempting to cover them with what remained of his skin. The surgeon presiding stated repeatedly that this should not be medically possible for the patient to stay still be alive. One terrified nurse assisting the surgery stated that she had seen the patient's mouth curl into a smile several times whenever his eyes met hers. When the surgery ended, the subject looked at the surgeon and began to wheeze loudly, attempting to talk while struggling. Assuming this must be something of drastic importance, the surgeon had a pen and a pad fetched so that the patient could write his message. It was simple. Keep cutting. The other two test subjects were given the same surgery, both without anesthetic as well. Although they had to be injected with a paralytic for the duration of the operation, the surgeon found it impossible to perform the operation while the patients laughed continuously. Once paralyzed, the subjects could only follow the attending researchers with their eyes. The paralytic cleared their system in an abnormally short period of time and they were soon trying to escape their bonds. The moment they could speak, they were asking again for the stimulant gas. The researchers tried asking why they injured themselves, why they had ripped out their own guts, and why they wanted to be given the gas again. Only one response was given. I must remain awake. All three test subjects restraints were reinforced and they were placed back into the chamber, awaiting determination as to what should be done with them. The researchers, facing the wrath of their military benefactors for having failed the stated goals of their project, considered euthanizing the surviving subjects. The commanding officer and ex KGB instead saw potential and wanted to see what would happen if they were put back on the gas. The researchers strongly objected, but were overruled. In preparation for being sealed in the chamber again, the subjects were connected to an EEG monitor and had their restraints padded for long term confinement. To everyone's surprise, all three stopped struggling the moment it was let slip clipped that they were going to be back on the gas. It was obvious that at this point all three were putting up a great struggle to remain awake. One of the subjects that could speak was humming loudly and continuously. The mute subject was straining his leg against the leather bonds with all his might. First left, then right, then left again for something to focus on. The remaining subject was holding his head off his pillow and blinking rapidly. Having been the first to be wired to the EEG machine, the most of the researchers were monitoring his brain waves in surprise. They were normal most of the time, but sometimes flatlined. Inexplicably it looked as if he was repeatedly suffering brain death before returning to normal. As they focused on paper scrolling out of the brain wave monitor, only one nurse saw the man's eyes slip shut at the same moment his head hit the pillow. His brain waves immediately changed to that of a deep sleep, then flatlined for the last time as his heart simultaneously stopped. The only remaining subject that could speak started screaming to be sealed in. Now his brainwaves showed the same flatlines as the one who had just died from falling asleep. The commander gave the order to seal the chamber with both subjects inside as well as three researchers. One of the named three immediately drew his gun and shot the commander point blank between the eyes, then turned the gun on the mute subject and blew his brains out as well. He pointed the gun at the last subject, still restrained to the bed as the remaining members of the medical and research team fled the room. I won't be locked in here with these things. Not with you. He screamed at the man strapped to the table. What are you? He demanded. I must know. The subject smiled. Have you forgotten so easily? The subject asked. We are you. We are the madness that lurks within you, begging to be freed at every moment in your deepest and animal mind. We are what you hide from in your beds every night. We are what you sedate into silence and paralysis when you go into the nocturnal haven where we cannot tread. The researcher paused, then aimed at the subject's heart and fired. The EEG flatlined as the subject weakly choked out so nearly free.

Eczema is unpredictable, but you can flare less with ebglis, a once monthly treatment for moderate to severe eczema. After an initial four month or longer dosing phase, about four in 10 people taking emplis achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks, and most of those people maintain skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing.

[Crime House Announcer]

Emplis Lebricizumab LBKZ, a 250mg per 2ml injection, is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals, or who cannot use topical therapies. EBGLIS can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you're allergic to ebglis. Allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. Eye problems can occur. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems. You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with Ebglis before starting Epglis, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection.

Okay, so this next one is by an unknown user and it's called Gateway of the Mind. It's another story of a science experiment gone wrong, and like any good creepypasta, it totally messes with your head. In 1983, a team of deeply pious scientists conducted a radical experiment at an undisclosed facility. The scientists had theorized that a human without access to any senses or ways to perceive stimuli would be able to perceive the presence of God. They believed that the five senses clouded our awareness of eternity, and without them, a human could actually establish contact with God by thought. An elderly man who claimed to have nothing left to live for was the only test subject to volunteer. To purge him of all of his senses, the scientists performed a complex operation in which every sensory nerve connection to the brain was surgically severed. Although the test subject retained full muscular function, he could not see, hear, taste, smell, or feel. There was no possible way to communicate with or even sense the outside world, and he was alone with his thoughts. Scientists monitored him as he spoke aloud about his state of Mind in jumbled, slurred sentences that he couldn't even hear. After four days, the man claimed to be hearing hushed, unintelligible voices in his head. Assuming it was an onset of psychosis, the scientists paid little attention to his concerns. Two days later, the man cried that he could hear his dead wife speaking with him and even more, he could communicate back. The scientists were intrigued but not convinced. Until the subjects started naming their dead relatives. He repeated personal information to them that only their dead spouses and parents would have known. At this point, a sizable portion of scientists left the study. After a week of conversing with the deceased through his thoughts, the subject became distressed, saying the voices were overwhelming. Apparently, in every waking moment, his consciousness was being bombarded by hundreds of voices that refused to leave him alone. He frequently threw himself against the wall trying to elicit a pain response and begged the scientists for sedatives so he could escape the voices by sleeping. The tactic worked for three days until he started having severe night terrors. He repeatedly said that he could see and hear the deceased in his dreams. Only a day later, the subject began to scream and claw at his non functioning eyes, hoping to sense something in the physical world. Now hysterical, he said that the voices of the dead were deafening and hostile, speaking of hell and of the end of the world. At one point, he yelled, no heaven, no forgiveness. For five hours straight, he continued begging to be killed. But the scientists were convinced that he was close to establishing a connection with God. After another day, the subject could no longer form coherent sentences. Seemingly mad, he started to bite off chunks of flesh from his arm. The scientist rushed into the test chamber and restrained him to a table so he would not kill himself. After a few hours of being tied down, the subject halted his struggling and screaming. He stared blankly at the ceiling as teardrops silently streaked across his face. For two weeks, he had to be manually rehydrated due to the constant crying. Eventually, he turned his head and despite his blindness, made focused eye contact with a scientist for the first time. In the study, he whispered, I have spoken with God and he has abandoned us. And his vital signs stopped. There was no apparent cause of death. Thanks so much for joining me on this episode of Twisted, a Crime House Original. I'd love to hear from you.
