Scary stories

Gate way of the mind

In 1983, a team of deeply pious scientists conducted a radical experiment in an undisclosed facility. The scientist 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 his senses, the scientist 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. With no possible way to communicate with or even sense the outside world, her was alone with his thoughts.
Scientist 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 go the man's 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 were not convinced until the subject stared naming dead relatives of the scientists. He repeated personal information to the scientists 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. In every walking moment, his consciousness was bombarded by hundreds of voices that refused to leave him alone. He frequently threw himself against the wall, trying ti elicit a pain response. He begged the scientists for sedatives, so he could escape the voices by sleeping. This tactic worked for thee days, until he started having sever night terrors. Th ]e subject 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-functional eyes, hoping ti sense something in the physical world. The hysterical subject now said the voice of the dead were deafening and hostile, speaking of hell and the end of the world. At one point, he yelled "No heaven, no forgiveness" for five hours straight. He continually begged to be killed, but the scientist were convinced that he was close to establishing contact with god.
After another day, the subject could no long form coherent sentences. Seemingly mad, he started to bite off chunks of flesh from his arm. The scientists rushed into the test chamber and restrained him to a table so he could not kill himself. After a few hours of being tied down, the subject halted his struggling and screaming. He stared blank at the ceiling as teardrops silently streaked across his face. For two weeks, the subject had to be manually rehydrated dew to the constant crying. Eventually, he turned his head and, desire his blindness, made focused eye count act with a scientist for the first time in the study.

He whispered "I habe spoken with God, and he has abandoned us" and his vital signs stopped.

There was no apparent cause of death.
