The Scientist Who Claimed to Split Souls

Episode 6 explores the unsettling tale of Dr. Emil Krieger, a 1920s psychiatrist who believed he could measure and even split human souls. Through experiments on a dissociative patient, he claimed to capture fragments of consciousness using a strange machine he built. After mysterious deaths, glowing bulbs, and mounting ethical violations, Krieger vanished — leaving behind forbidden research, unsolved questions, and the eerie possibility that he may have uncovered something real about the human spirit. The line between scientific breakthrough and madness remains blurred to this day.
