@Morbidful Daniel Villegas was sentenced to life in prison for fatally firing at two teens in 1995. However, he later claimed that he was coerced by a police officer into confessing. This is him finally being found innocent after serving over 20 years in prison. https://t.co/68PYVBYGR0
In 2005, a nursing home in the US got a six-month-old kitten named Oscar as a therapy cat. The staff soon noticed something unusual about him.
Oscar often liked to be by himself, but sometimes he would go and lie next to one of the residents. Strangely, the resident he chose would often pass away within a few hours.
At first, the workers didn't think it was important, but after it happened 20 times, they started to think Oscar knew when someone was going to die. So, they began to call the resident's family if they saw Oscar with them.
Some people think Oscar could sense certain smells from dying cells, and that's why he went to comfort residents who were alone.
There was even a time when the staff thought one resident was going to die, but Oscar stayed with a different, healthier-looking person, who then died first.
Oscar lived until 2022 and was right about more than 100 deaths during his life.
In 1931, two psychologists, Winthrop and Luella Kellogg, began an experiment to see if a chimpanzee could learn human behavior by raising it with their own baby. The idea was to see if the chimp, named Gua, would learn to walk upright, speak, and engage in other human-like activities.
For the first few months, the experiment was going well. Gua learned to mimic some of the actions of Kelloggs' son, Donald.
However, after 9 months, the Kelloggs were forced to cancel the experiment. It turns out that Donald was beginning to behave like an ape himself, mimicking Gua's behaviors and even attempting to communicate with grunts and other animal-like sounds.
