I hear tales of an anomaly in Jamaica bout a grey donkey appearing and disappearing
I post on the coli and have a normal life outside of the internet. I also have a good relationship with the opposite gender in real life.
Now that is some spooky shyt....

The Tuskegee Experiment.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_syphilis_experiment
“An infamous clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the U.S. Public Health Service. The purpose of this study was to observe the natural progression of untreated syphilis in rural African-American men in Alabama under the guise of receiving free health care from the United States government.”
“ The study was continued without informing the men they would never be treated. None of the men infected were ever told they had the disease, and none were treated with penicillin even after the antibiotic became proven for the treatment of syphilis.”
The Tuskegee Syphilis Study, cited as “arguably the most infamous biomedical research study in U.S. history"led to the 1979 Belmont Report and the establishment of the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP). It also led to federal laws and regulations requiring Institutional Review Boards for the protection of human subjects in studies involving them.
Government-funded researchers tested AIDS drugs on hundreds of foster children over the past two decades, often without providing them a basic protection afforded in federal law and required by some states, an Associated Press review has found.
The research funded by the National Institutes of Health spanned the country. It was most widespread in the 1990s as foster care agencies sought treatments for their HIV-infected children that weren’t yet available in the marketplace.
The practice ensured that foster children — mostly poor or minority — received care from world-class researchers at government expense, slowing their rate of death and extending their lives. But it also exposed a vulnerable population to the risks of medical research and drugs that were known to have serious side effects in adults and for which the safety for children was unknown.
Research conducted in 7 states
The research was conducted in at least seven states — Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, Colorado and Texas — and involved more than four dozen different studies. The foster children ranged from infants to late teens, according to interviews and government records.
Several studies that enlisted foster children reported patients suffered side effects such as rashes, vomiting and sharp drops in infection-fighting blood cells as they tested antiretroviral drugs to suppress AIDS or other medicines to treat secondary infections.
In one study, researchers reported a “disturbing” higher death rate among children who took higher doses of a drug. That study was unable to determine a safe and effective dosage.
The government provided special protections for child wards in 1983. They required researchers and their oversight boards to appoint independent advocates for any foster child enrolled in a narrow class of studies that involved greater than minimal risk and lacked the promise of direct benefit. Some foster agencies required the protection regardless of risks and benefits.
Advocates must be independent of the foster care and research agencies, have some understanding of medical issues and “act in the best interests of the child” for the entirety of the research, the law states.
Children often not given advocates
However, researchers and foster agencies told AP that foster children in AIDS drug trials often weren’t given such advocates even though research institutions many times promised to do so to gain access to the children.
Illinois officials believe none of their nearly 200 foster children in AIDS studies got independent monitors even though researchers signed a document guaranteeing “the appointment of an advocate for each individual ward participating in the respective medical research.”
New York City could find records showing 142 — less than a third — of the 465 foster children in AIDS drug trials got such monitors even though city policy required them. The city has asked an outside firm to investigate.
Likewise, research facilities including Chicago’s Children’s Memorial Hospital and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore said they concluded they didn’t provide advocates for foster kids.
Some states declined to participate in medical experiments. Tennessee said its foster care rules generally prohibit enlisting children in such trials. California requires a judge’s order. And Wisconsin “has absolutely never allowed, nor would we even consider, any clinical experiments with the children in our foster care system,” spokeswoman Stephanie Marquis said.
Officials estimated that 5 percent to 10 percent of the 13,878 children enrolled in pediatric AIDS studies funded by NIH since the late 1980s were in foster care. More than two dozen Illinois foster children remain in studies today.
Some foster children died during studies, but state or city agencies said they could find no records that any deaths were directly caused by experimental treatments.
'The most vulnerable subjects imaginable'
Researchers typically secured permission to enroll foster children through city or state agencies. And they frequently exempted themselves from appointing advocates by concluding the research carried minimal risk and the child would directly benefit because the drugs had already been tried in adults.
“Our position is that advocates weren’t needed,” said Marilyn Castaldi, spokeswoman for Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York.

this is the only worthwhile part of that storyTime for another spooky tale from the East side of Cleveland.
OK, so this next story is not one that I witnessed firsthand but rather an experience that my uncle Tony had about 10 years ago.
Tony was in his mid-30s at the time. For reference he looks like a 50-50 mixture of the deep-voiced dude from Boyz II Men and Morgan from The Walking Dead. He lived in a nice little three-story home on Turney Avenue right at the boarder of Cleveland and Garfield Heights. He lived there with his then-girlfriend (now wife) Maritsa, a Latino lady from the west side of a Cleveland. (There's a big Latino population in Cleveland's West side, FYI). Maritsa looked like a brown-skinned Rosie Perez in the face with a Queen Latifah body.
Anyway, those details don't have much to do with the spooky story but I wanted to paint y'all a picture, ya dig?
One day, early afternoon Maritsa was upstairs taking a nap and Tony was watching TV in the living room. He went upstairs for a minute to grab his cellphone, saw that Maritsa was sleeping and decided "hell, I'm about to take a little afternoon nap too." But first he had to go downstairs and turn off the TV.
Tony walked downstairs past the kitchen and into the Living Room to turn off the TV. He suddenly stopped in his tracks. What he saw in the living room still freaks him out to this day. Sitting on the couch, staring blankly at the TV was...him. Listen, y'all....cause y'all not hearing me. He saw HIMSELF sitting on the couch! But that's not the worst part.
He stood there for about 30 seconds just starring at "himself" in disbelief and confusion. His confusion then turned to horror as his body double slowly tilted his head back to an unnatural angle and stared, mouth open, at the ceiling. It gets worse though, y'all.
So Tony is freaked the fukk out at this point. He then hears a deep "EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" resonating from his body-double's mouth and sees this weird, bright, blood-red mist rising from his mouth. Then the body-double starts to levitate, still in sitting position, up off of the couch.
At this point Tony is shytting himself. He runs upstairs to the bedroom, locks the door, grabs his gun and calls the cops. Maritsa wakes up, and Tony tells her what happened. She freaks out and says "let's jump out of the window, I'm too scared Tony!" Tony calms her down and they wait for the police to arrive.
The police arrived and after laughing at Tony's story they conduct a full search of the house. No sign of Tony's body-double was found.

Variations of this shyt all over the Caribbean. Anywho, you're supposed to wound it on it's head and then scan the village/area to see who's sporting a recent headwound in order to weed out the culprit.
