SKIP TO 00:17:12 TO GET TO THIS WEEK’S EPISODE Welcome to Episode 163: The Russian Sleep Experiment, Soviet Poison Labs, and the Humanzee! In need of something different to break up the hectic recording schedule that was Spooky Season 2023, Aly thought it would be fun to read one of the most popular creepy pastas ever created, known as “The Russian Sleep Experiment”. However, she soon learned that this creepy pasta leads down a dark and twisted rabbit hole of Soviet human experimentation that occurred in the 20th Century. Join us as we learn about Soviet Poison Labs that kidnapped people off the street to experiment with and the time biologist Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov tried to artificially inseminate unsuspecting animals and people to create a human-chimpanzee hybrid! You may never sleep again.
