About this episode
The Pill That Aged Me (And Everyone Else) A man takes a pill that implants a specific phobia, but the fear doesn't stay contained. What happens when a manufactured terror reaches out and touches the lives of everyone around him? In this episode, we follow Hayong, a man who agrees to participate in a remote experiment involving phobia-inducing pills. We explore the unexpected and terrifying consequences when the fear he swallows begins to manifest in the world outside his own mind. Person: Hayong Location: Madison area of Nashville Experiment: Remote pill administration Phobia: Gerontophobia First manifestation: Bathroom mirror - Hayong was fifteen when his grandfather died of a STEMI heart attack in Spring Lake, North Carolina. - He lives alone in Nashville, two houses down from an older woman named Martha who brings him food. - A man named Max administered pills remotely, each designed to implant a distinct phobia. - The third pill implanted gerontophobia, the fear of aging and the old. - At 11:28 AM, Hayong saw his reflection in the mirror, looking five or six years older.
