Since the discovery of Dimethyltryptamine, countless clinical trials have been put into action to gain further knowledge on what people refer to as, “The God Drug.” Scientists have seen various results from DMT, ranging from mild hallucinations to full blown near death experiences. Test subjects have claimed that while under the influence of the drug, they were sent to alternate dimensions or given the ability to speak to animals or other worldly beings.
However, the most interesting and bizarre cases stemming from the drug were those of the “faceless man.” Scientists have learned that when given a specific dose of DMT, test subjects would have hallucinations similar to mild trips; however, all subjects would also report witnessing a faceless man who they were unable to communicate with. Because DMT is known to cause such various experiences, the discovery of a consistent vision within test subjects was an extraordinary revelation.
In 2007, a scientist by the name of Ralph Leighty continued studies with DMT, giving his test subjects the same dose as those who had seen the faceless man in previous trials. Before allowing the patients to receive the dose, he left with them colour pencils and paper and asked them to draw whatever they experienced. All subjects, unknowingly, drew the same image of the faceless man. Most drew him appearing somewhere in the distance of their visions while others drew him very close, or hovering overhead, but all depicted the same character.
In March, 2008, a female test subject began experiencing extreme, abnormal behavior. She claimed that she continued to see the faceless man while off the drug, in her dreams and while awake. She reported feeling a deep sense of disturbance while in his presence but could not comment on anything further. The following month she committed suicide and any further clinical trials dealing with that specific dose of the drug were cancelled.
Some people have theorized that since the drug re-enacts near death experiences, that the faceless man could possibly be God. Others have said that the man is someone that we are not allowed to know of. Some believe that his appearance in multiple test subjects was purely coincidental. The identity of the faceless man remains unknown to this day.
