The Regen Experiment [Regression] | MOST TERRIFYING HORROR STORY OF 2025

Tonight’s horror story follows the haunting account of a man who volunteers for a groundbreaking clinical trial meant to restore his health. What begins with hope soon takes a disturbing turn, as Edward and his son Timothy find themselves caught in the grip of something far beyond their understanding… or control. This story explores the blurred lines between science and morality, the fragility of memory and identity, and the terrifying consequences of tampering with nature. What happened to Edward Branner remains one of the most unsettling accounts of human experimentation gone wrong.

Today’s terrifying tale of the macabre is ‘Regression,’ an original story by Craig Groshek from Chilling Tales for Dark Nights, kindly shared directly with me for the express purpose of having me narrate it here for you all.

Video footage was made by me with whatever Go Pro Camera it is that I own... I hope you found it to be a relaxing backdrop for today’s story. That’s the Marmara Sea in the background, as seen from our summer apartment in Yalova. We’ve spent many happy summers there... fantastic memories!
