I ranked creepiest and scariest experiments with lobotomy hammers more hammers equal to more disturbing experiments let's begin with the first one experiment on this list which is a hope experiment it sounds quite cheerful but in fact it's a bit Dark One in 1950s when basically everything was allowed Dr Kurt rter placed rats in a pool of water to test how long they could swim on average they would swim for 15 minutes before giving up and starting sinking basically accepting their own demise but but before they could die the doctor would quickly save them dry them
and let them rest now you see the doctor introduced a hope to the rat's equation for how long do you think they swam now 15 minutes an hour no 60 hours these poor rats were giving their allil to survive because they had hope I don't know if you know but tropical regions such as South America has these wonderful insects called butt flies these bastards distribute their eggs in a clever way since these flies themselves are too fat and could be noticed when landing on a mammals these flight simply grab mosquitoes which are lighter then glue
their own fly eggs to under side of the mosquito and fly away like nothing happened when this mosquito with butterfly eggs lands on mammal these eggs hatch from a mammal's heat drop on the skin buru insides through the hole left by mosquito bite which is pretty disgusting one time enologist P nety found himself to be infected with such bfly lar instead of running like usin Bol to the nearest hospital he decided to let it grow it was inside him for over 3 months then it simply crawled out and the wound healed I don't know what
the dude learned besides that it's [ __ ] disgusting few decades ago there was this mouse with a human ear growing on it but why well it is actually an ear-shaped cartilage structure grown by injecting cow ctil cells to the mouse the reason why these cartilage cells were arranged like ear was that there was a biodegradable ear mold implanted under the skin of the mouse so the cartilage cells grown in the shape of the mold the reason why this mouse immune system didn't reject neither the mold or cow cells is that it had no immunity
these are actually special breed of mouses with no immune system so why the heck did they put an ear on the poor Mouse it was meant to help scientists understand how to grow B the parts in humans using their own skin and cartilage cells these body parts could later be used to repair for example missing ear in United States during 60s a question came up in the school how could Nazis do such horrible actions during World War II a high school history teacher Ron Jones failed to give an answer so he conducted an experiment first
he wrote strength through discipline on the classroom's chalkboard and told students to keep silent have proper sitting position and only ask questions after the Bell also to formulate very short three worded questions next day he told his students that he started a movement called the third wave and told his students that the movement aimed to eliminate democracy basically it was starting to look quite similar kids were using salute similar to the infamous H Hitler then they started inviting other students to the movement stopping non-members from entering the classroom guarding the teacher for some reason banishing
opposing students to the library du to teacher command creating a third wve flag and many other stuff experiment lasted only for 5 days but it was enough to gather quite a large following from 30 students it had grown to 200 participants the teacher ended this experiment quickly because it was getting out of hand but it did show how it was easy to influence people especially the young ones scientists have successfully transplanted clusters of human neurons into the brains of newborn rats as baby rat brains developed human brain were able to be integrated into the red
brain linking up with their blood supplies and communicated with the red neurons this experiment is believed to be helpful dealing with various human brain afflictions which leave patients with a neuron loss when scientists flashed light at this rats computers shown an increased neuron activity not only in red brain cells but also in implanted human cells okay this one is a little bit different really different in the 1960s a naturalist Margaret H lat took a part in a NASA funded research project where they tried to make dolphin understand and mimic human language Margaret thought that if
she lived with the dolphins like some sort of a humanoid the dolphin and made humanlike sounds that would have been a great start to introduce our language to the dolphin sadly the dolphin who was named Peter wasn't too Keen to learning stuff he actually had meting urges which were taking away precious attention from the lessons Margaret was like hell no and took the matter into her own hands she relieved Peter's uras stating it wasn't sexual on my part anyway the research was a failure a biologist John K hun had built many red colonies during his
life the rat colonies were similar rats or mice had all the food water and safety they needed the only thing that they was lacking was space space was limited the most infamous mice Colony that the John built was the 25th one he simply introduced eight albino mice into the enclosure at first everything seemed great colony was thriving no Cats unlimited food water but soon things were starting to get out of hand the population was doubling rapidly almost 2 years later colony from 8 mice turned into 2,200 in normal circumstances Alpha mice males would protect their
harams and fight weaker males which would flee somewhere else but the problem was that there was no place to flee so this alpha males had to fight constantly but obviously nobody can keep this up so they lost and these new fake alpha males kept invading mice harams female mice hit at that and became very antisocial unable to take care of their young or even become violent towards their offspring this Offspring without their mothers had zero social ability just like redit people they were not interested in mating and if they did get pregnant they just didn't
care about their babies they were called the beautiful ones because they kept grooming all day pining and licking themselves hour after hour just like people on Instagram eventually no interest in mating turned into zero my Colony a series of psychological experiments were done in the 1960s experiments which we are to see how obedient people are to prove a point how seemingly normal people could do such bad things natis this experiment worked like this there was this guy an experimenter who told this person a so-called teacher to administer shock to a guy behind the wall called
the learner the guy behind the wall was actually an actor and he wasn't attached to the electric wires the experiment kept saying to the teacher to increase the voltage if the learner repeated wrong words keep in mind that this teacher Guy taught that he was involved in different type of experiment and he wasn't a subject of this experiment so the voltage doses kept increasing and 65% of people actually delivered probably deadly do of electricity to the learner horse Rock House answer wrong 1 50 volts answer horse experiment that's all get me out of here get
me out of here please continue please I refuse to go in let me out to go the experiment requires you continue teacher please continue There are Skeptics that believe that this experiment results were a bit of sketchy but I mean just look at human history Robert Cornish was like a real doctor Frankenstein he was a physician biologist who wanted to revive dead people what experiments did he do well for example he strapped his dead patients to a large seesaw which is a thing that you can find in a playground obviously he didn't do that in
an actual playground the dead people were injected Ed with adrenaline and heparin which helps to keep blood in a liquid form then he would swing or should I say teer the cadavers in order to restore the blood circulation he was unsuccessful interestingly he later tried similar stuff with the dead dogs he managed to revive two out of five but they were blind and their senses were DED later a dead row inmate even offered his body to Robert in of chance that after the execution he would be revived and released due to legal stuff but California
state was like we don't do that here back in the day people didn't know if sugar caused de Decay so one place in Sweden decided to do some experiments in 1945 the medical board commissioned a study on the subjects and they picked Vib Holm hospital for the intellectually disabled classic officially they they were giving patients vitamins but it was actually Sugar they were also fed huge amounts of sweets including toffee and chocolate after 2 years of experiments more than 50 test subjects which I may remind you that they were intellectually disabled 50 test subjects had
completely damaged teeth imagine your parents being psychologists and making you their test subject that's what precisely happened almost 100 years ago when the strange couple introduced a chimpanzee into their family the couple planned to raise the baby chimp named Gua alongside their own baby human boy Donald they wanted to see how this chimp would influence their son's growth they raised their two babies in the exact same way doing various scientific experiments one year later the experiment ended abruptly when these psychologist gave chimp to a laboratory some speculated that chimp was getting too strong and potentially
could h his human brother also it might have been that the human baby Donald was starting to act like a chimpanzee okay another story with psychologists these psychologist wanted to see if they could introduced a phobia or fear to a child psychologist showed baby a dog a rat a monkey burning newspaper and other stimuli then they showed them a white rat when the baby wanted to touch the red the experimental smashed suspended steel bar with a hammer creating a scary sound this was done each time little Albert tried to touch the rat obviously loud and
terrible sounds made baby distressed so next time he was shown a rat kid was very fearful crying and trying to get away it is not entirely known what happened to Albert after the experiment in' 70s a woman Marina AB brovich performed an art where she placed various objects on the table such as Rose feather perfume honey bread grapes wine scissors a scalpel it getting worse Nails a metal bar and a gun with a bullet Abramovic was standing still while the audience was invited to do to her whenever they wished for 6 hours first people acted
kindly to her offering Rose or kiss but later it was was starting to get out of hand somebody scratched her with torns cut her clothes with scissors blood was sucked from her throat and a gun with a bullet was pressed to her head thankfully a fight broke out between audience members which prevented a gunshot what this experiment showed well that some people are proper evil especially if you allow them to be this way you know artificial intelligence is finally getting there when it starts to get dangerous for example one IE designed to invent various helpful
medicine formulas was tasked to invent some biological and chemical weapons it did good it created 40,000 possible weapons scientists must be Warhammer fans by saying it created I mean it produced formulas and compounds some of them were predicted to even be more dangerous than VX a compound known for being extremely toxic nerve agent scientists were shocked how easy it was to create such weapons since there are a lot of information online and AI simply utilized such data even though it was called the monster study it had nothing to do with Kaiju research it was simply
named like this because of the heartlessness this experiment was done by vendal Johnson which which was unsurprisingly a psychologist 22 orphan children were selected and half of the children received positive speech therapy praising the fluency of their speech and the other half negative speech therapy belittling the children for speech imperfections that half which received negative attention developed bad psychological effects and had trouble with their speech for the rest of their lives imagine being such a scholar and a Chad that you make the best of your own execution in order to help science but this might
just be a legend so don't quote me on that this guy's name was antoin lur he was a chemist and a nobleman during French Revolution he was tried for tax fraud and selling adulterate tobacco so he was gleed but before he lost his head he asked his assistant to check his gulle in head and count how many at times he blinked the head blinked from 15 to 20 seconds pit of despair was a device used in the experiments conducted on maak monkeys during the 1970s these boxes were designed in such way that there was not
much space in them and the floor was made out of wire mesh so that the waste matter could be removed without any social interaction they placed baby monkeys alone in such Chambers for up to 6 weeks some monkeys were so Disturbed that they starve themselves to death others became psychotic those female monkeys which survived were incapable of appropriate social interaction with their babies similar to the mice in the mice Colony that I talked about one monkey mother held her baby face to the floor and chewed off his feet and fingers another crushed her baby's head
anyway the guy who did this experiments with monkeys is called har this wasn't the only experiment he did some arguably they even more disturbing during 1940s about 751 pregnant women seeking free Care at a prenatal Clinic run by Wonder built University were given strange pills these pills exposed the women and their fetuses to ration 30 times higher than natural levels three kids later died likely to the exposure from various tumors the documents regarding the study unsurprisingly were destroyed later but this isn't the only time when ration effects were tested on people for example from 1945
to 1947 18 people were injected with plutonium by Manhattan Project the doctors two people died after two weeks or how about when 73 children were fed oatmeal laced with radioactive particles in experiment sponsored by Massachusetts in Institute of Technology and the Quaker Oats company a nice collaboration between education establishment and healthy food company there was this strange Soviet scientist called Vladimir demov he was organ transplantation Pioneer one of the most infamous tests was a head transplant by the way he did that more than 20 times and his most famous surgery the 24th one was publicized
in life magazine so it got more attention he chose big shepher dog to be the host for the smaller dog the mikov amputated half of the body of the smaller dog and attached it to a bigger one this poor dog was able to eat and drink however all that stuff went out through the tube because its throat was not attached to the bigger dog's stomach little dog survived for 4 days in 19 1950s US Navy conducted a secret experiment involving bio attack it involved saraia maresin and basilo globig bacteria these bacteria were sprayed over San
Francisco Bay area in California in order to find if people are susceptible to a bioweapon attack I'm not joking this really happened they actually sprayed so much bacteria that 800,000 people get contact with pathogen thankfully these bacteria are not very dangerous but still 11 people went to hospital and three died but the numbers could be higher want to know the scarest part this was not the only bio attack test between 1949 and 1969 open ear tests of biological agents were conducted 239 times that's insane I think most of people have heard of M Ultra project
it was an illegal human experimentation program done by CIA they conducted a series of experiments on unsuspecting subjects from ordinary citizens to criminals they used everything from drugs like LSD to sensory deprivation to try and control people's thoughts and behaviors also they were not shying away from using torture the goal was simply to learn how to control or reprogram human Minds The Experiment would have been perfect for CIA if they could give subject some sort of substance which allowed total control imagine waking up after a nasty hangover and you see yourself in the news as
a criminal which karat chopped some important politician in the neck Henry cotton simply was a Mad Doctor Who was like a butcher in an asylum he was like a god in there at least in his own mind because he had all the power over his patience he believed that local areas of infection were the cause of mental illness he also believed that teeth and some organs could be causing these infections so he started removing them when removing all the teeth wasn't working he started removing tonsils and sinuses surprisingly that didn't work either so he started
chopping off testicles ovaries gallbladder stomachs spins cervixes and colon which is that big intense interestingly such treatment kind of worked because many patients died and they were cured of mental illness or maybe they simply we too afraid and had to act in a healthy way to trick the Mad Doctor truly a psychopath doctor in late 1940s us conducted human experiments in Guatemala doctors infected 1,300 people half of them bir from poor back ground some of these people were mental patients of course and orphans these people on back notes to them were infected by doctors with
syphilis gona and chanro diseases only half of the test subjects ever got treatment and many died by the way if you don't know what these diseases do to human body don't Google it's pretty horrible especially syphilis Soviets get Secret poison Laboratories where they would test various poisons and chemical weapons on gulak prisoners keep in mind that many people in gulags were quite innocent send there for small misdemeanors one laboratory was run by Bist gregori maronski a ruthless scientist that had no problem experimenting on humans for example he would give prisoners food and water LED with
mustard gas Ryon digoxin kurar Cyanide and many more dangerous to toxins the primary reason was to find a chemical which could not be detected postmortem these prisoners would usually die under 15 minutes imagine Hunger Games but in real life and much more terrible around 6,700 prisoners were Mass deported to the small remote island where they had to construct a special settlement and cultivate the land the problem was that they were given a small amount of supplies no tools almost no food and no clothes to survive called Siberian winter if prisoners tried swimming and escaping from
the island they were simply shot by military guarding the River Shores conditions on island quickly deteriorated people tried mixing flour with river water and got the disent some prisoners formed gangs and terrorized other inhabitants when food was gone people resorted to cannibalism just 3 months later 4,000 of 6,700 people died on island and later number was close to 6,000 this was part of a larger experiment done to resettle up to 2 million people to Siberia to populate these areas and create a self-sufficient Workforce which was a failed experiment I don't want to go deep into
the subject because it is almost filled to a Brim with examples of horrifying experiments that were conducted by nasis I want to talk more about so-called rabbits of ravensbrook these were inmates which managed to survive the horror of Nazi experiments you probably heard about human trash by the name of manga which worked in aitz Camp but there were many more camps and many of those camps had doctors which did a similar experiment mangela wasn't the only monster out there anyway there were 74 for Polish women who originally were arrested for their involvement in resistance movements
in Poland and later transported to ravensbrook camp in 1941 they were subjected to gruesome medical experiments that often resulted in severe health issues for example deliberate cutting into and infecting of leg bones and muscles with virulent bacteria cutting nerves introducing substances like pieces of wood or glass into tissues fracturing bones also bone transplant from one prisoner to another these women knew that eventually they will be executed by the Nazis but they resisted the entire Camp including other prisoners supported them they hid in Barracks changed their identities and used various methods of Disguise and Incredibly 63
out of 74 women survived the war Japan wasn't too far from Germany in the experiment Department during World War II this Unit 731 was a biological and chemical warfare Research Unit of the Japanese Army it conducted tests on people who were referred to as logs of course experiments were done on live people disease injections dehydratation biological weapons testing hypobaric pressure chamber which means quick decompression cutting bodies open without any painkillers organ harvesting up ation and many more insane experiments it is estimated that Unit 731 killed up to 500,000 people and none survived because at the
end of the war the staff was trying to get rid of all the evidence after the war many of the scientists involved in these atrocities were granted immunity and allowed to return to society
