The Little Albert Experiment | Marks Unexplained World Podcast (Ep. 187)

The Little Albert Experiment by Watson and Rayner tested whether an infant could be classically conditioned to fear a neutral stimulus.

By pairing a white rat with a loud noise, they induced fear that later generalized to similar furry objects, demonstrating learned emotional responses – but raising major ethical concerns by today’s standards.

Who Was Peter Bergmann? | Marks Unexplained World Podcast (Ep. 186)

The Peter Bergmann case pertains to the mysterious death of an unidentified man in County Sligo, Ireland, in the early hours of 16 June 2009.

The man, using the alias "Peter Bergmann," had checked into the Sligo City Hotel on 12 June, where he stayed during the majority of his visit to Sligo.

The man's movements were captured on CCTV throughout the town; however, the details of his actions and intentions remain unknown.

His interactions with other people were limited, and little is known of his origins or the reason for his visit.

The mystery is often compared to the Somerton Man case in Australia, in which an unidentified man was found dead on a beach shortly after the Second World War.

Lars Joachim Mittank (born 9 February 1986) is a German man who disappeared on 8 July 2014, near Varna Airport in Varna, Bulgaria.

He was later seen on airport security footage running out of the airport and towards an adjacent forest. He has never been seen since.

The Monster Study | Marks Unexplained World Podcast (Ep. 183)

Listener Discretion Advised

The Monster Study was a non-consensual experiment performed on 22 orphan children in Davenport, Iowa in 1939 about stuttering.

The study was never published, and as a result was relatively unknown until a 2001 San Jose Mercury News article conducted by an investigative reporter, Jim Dyer.

He revealed the details and followed up with the former test subjects who were still living – none of whom were told it was an experiment.

A lawsuit took place and the seven test subjects from the "negative-reinforcement" group were awarded $925,000 by the State of Iowa for lifelong psychological and emotional scars.
