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.
