Over the years, I have read some pretty scary stuff. I started reading "The Exorcist" one night and didn't put it down until I was done, about 9:30 the next morning.
And this material is EXTREMELY disturbing, so I am going to excerpt only a small part. Go to the site to read the rest, but be warned, if you are the sensitive type, you probably should stop as soon as you get any uneasy feelings!
H. P. Lovecraft? Virginia Wolfe?
Pikers!!!

Soviet researchers from the late 1940s kept five people awake for fifteen days using an experimental gas structured stimulant. This was in term called “The Russian Sleep Experiment” They were kept in a sealed environment to carefully observe their oxygen intake so the Nikolayev gas didn’t kill them, since it was toxic in large concentrations. This has been before the existence of closed circuit cameras therefore they had only microphones and 5 inch thick glass porthole sized windows into the holding chamber to monitor and keep track of them. The holding chamber was stocked with various publications, cots to sleep on but no bedding, running water and toilet, and adequate dried food to last all five for upwards of a month.
These test subjects were political prisoners deemed as enemies of the soviet state during The second world war.

The First Five Days
Everything was running smoothly with the sleep experiment; the subjects hardly complained having been promised (falsely) that they would be freed if they submitted to the test and did not sleep for experimented days. Their interactions and routines were monitored and it was noted that they continued to discuss increasingly traumatic incidents they’ve experienced in their past, and the overall tone in their conversations took on a darker aspect following the 4 day mark....
This is so bogus that I’ve even read parody variations of it.
That after 15 days of no sleep they all...turned gay.
Snopes is a hard left propaganda outfit set up Dem operatives .
It’s crap.
Just run a search on it.
Complete Leftist front group
If Snopes was that bad at what it does, there’d be a dozen anti-Snopes websites out there. Guess what? There aren’t.
Snopes is a left wing front ...mmmm. You sure your tin foil isn’t wrapped a little to tight?
Please....
If it’s on the internet, it must be true! Everyone knows you can’t lie on the internet.
Forgive me for asking, but what’s the leftist agenda in debunking this absurd work of fiction...?
Does anyone really need to check snopes to know this story is fiction?
Not really, but it’s always good to have a back up for an opinion....
Meth.
I just checked Snopes and they deem that to be an Urban Legend.
Oh, wait...
