In the late 1940s, Russian researchers kept 5 prisoners awake for 50 days in a very sealed Chamber with the help of experimental gas and
They were monitored very carefully. The researchers also intake oxygen so the experimental gas didn’t kill them.
The researchers falsely promised the prisoners that they would be set free from prison if they completed the experiment.
The researchers kept all the important things like Food, Water, and toilets to make them alive.

Everything was fined for the first 5 days Their conversations and activities were monitored and it
was noted that they continued to talk
about increasingly deeply disturbing incidents in their past,
and the general tone of their conversations took on a darker aspect after the four-day mark.
After some days of the experiment, they stopped talking with each other and the chamber become fully silent
On the 15th day, the researchers decided to turn off the stimulating gas and reopen the chamber, 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.”
then in a replay, they heard a single phrase in a calm voice response: “We no longer want to be free.”

When the chamber door opened, the researchers fill some fresh air into the chamber

after looking inside the chamber, the researchers noticed that the food rations past day five had not been so much as touched and one prisoner was found dead on the floor,
as half body organs were destroyed and the body muscles were half eaten and
the four surviving prisoners had performed very harmfully on themselves during the past days, They have torn their body muscles
and they tried to remove their internal organs.

After seeing such a horrible scene The researchers were scared to enter the chamber so they called a backup team of soldiers,
When the soldiers enter the chamber one of the prisoners directly attacked one soldier and tried to eat the soldier’s neck and other parts of the body.
On that day 5 soldiers died after that the prisoners automatically lie on the floor and the situation comes under control but after a while the prisoners again
start shouting, they wanted the stimulating gas to be turned on. after that, the researchers called another team of soldiers, after the fighting with the soldiers, then automatically one prisoner fall to the floor and his heartbeat stopped but the horrific thing was that he was still shouting that ‘I need gas’!.
After this, the other alive prisoner were hardly taken to the hospital and one of them directly died in the hospital the other one automatically starts shouting and put horrible expressions on their face. and one of them wanted to say something then one nurse comes close to him and gives him a paper and pen then he wrote that “Keep cutting my body parts”. after this, they all died inside the Hospital.
