Welcome to AirNenky's Cabinet of Curiosity's, a production of I Heart Radio and Grimm

and Mild.

Our world is full of the unexplainable.

And if history is an open book, all of these amazing tales are right there on display,

just waiting for us to explore.

Welcome to the Cabinet of Curiosity's.

Our bodies can play strange tricks on us sometimes.

For example, since the advent of the cell phone, a phenomenon known as phantom vibration

syndrome has plagued users with the sensation that their phones are buzzing in their pockets

when they're not.

And in a study performed by German scientists at University of Bremen, subjects were asked

to perform various tasks, like shuffling cards or shaking a bottle of liquid.

They were then shown videos of other people doing the same tasks, as well as others that

they hadn't performed.

Two weeks later, the researchers asked the volunteers to remember which tasks they had

completed.

Most replied that they had done the actions performed on camera, even though they hadn't

actually finished them personally.

Their brains had been implanted with false memories.
