"Scientist Missing for over 30 years Found Living Inside Secret LSD Drug Lab Hidden in Basement.
A Couple from Cottage Grove, Minnesota discovered a man living inside a secret laboratory inside their basement. On Friday, May 15th 2015 officers with the Warrington County Sheriffs Office went to the Morgan family’s home after receiving a call reporting a possible break in. When the officers pulled up they saw the Morgan Family standing by the road.
'They ran up to us and said they heard a man shouting inside their basement and that’s when they called it in to 911' Said Captain Bruce Normans with the Warrington County Sheriff’s Office.
Officers say that they could hear the man yelling in the basement the moment they entered the Morgan’s home. But when they moved cautiously into the basement they saw nothing. However they could hear banging sounds coming from behind the northern wall of the Morgan family’s basement, specifically echoing from behind a large storage cabinet.
'It was a very odd situation. We assumed the possibility that a vagrant may have been trapped behind the cabinet and needed help” Officer Jim Catelli told Channel 6 news.
When the Officers moved the large metal cabinet they uncovered an entry way to a large hidden room in the basement. The room was full of various science equipment along with a terrified, elderly man. The 83 year old man was identified as Dr. Winston Corrigan, a chemistry professor from the University of Minnesota who went missing in the fall of 1984 and was a previous resident of the home.
'He had clearly been living down there for a long time and had suffered severe psychological trauma.. probably from not socializing with anyone for a while…or from ingesting a lot of the drugs… I don't know if he had been living down there since the 80’s but I wouldn't doubt it' Said EMT personnel Landon Choler.
Dr. Winston is currently being held at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis for observation. He will eventually be sent to the state psychiatric ward in Prairie Hills Clinic where he will undergo a psychiatric evaluation to determine the extent of any psychological damage and possibly reintroduced to modern society.
'I just can’t believe it….it's just so odd. The family that used to live there moved because they said the house was haunted so I guess that makes sense now.' Said a neighbor who had lived next door for 33 years.
The Police recovered over $500,000 worth of lab equipment stolen from the University, along with 3 hand guns, an assault rifle, 50 years' worth of military grade rations and twelve 55 gallon barrels (including three almost empty barrels) of what DEA labs have identified as pure liquid Lysergic acid diethylamide, a powerful hallucinogenic drug more commonly known as the street name LSD or Acid.
It is not yet known if or when Dr. Winston will be convicted of any crime."

Pada tanggal 17 Mei 2015, situs web berita palsu beralamat di IFLScience.org (tidak ada afiliasi dengan situs IFLScience.com yang asli atau kredibel) menerbitkan sebuah artikel dan melaporkan bahwa seorang ilmuwan yang telah hilang selama lebih dari 20 tahun telah ditemukan bersembunyi di sebuah laboratorium obat rahasia yang ia dirikan di ruang bawah tanah Minnesota :

Link berita IFLScience Palsu :

Tidak ada kebenaran dalam cerita yang dikutip di atas. IFLScience.org adalah salah satu dari banyak situs berita 'satir' (yaitu, berita palsu) yang beroperasi di Internet.
Meskipun berita palsu lebih mudah untuk ditemukan kebenarannya, namun metode yang tidak biasa digunakan oleh IFLScience.org, nyatanya masih berhasil menipu banyak pembaca yang tidak curiga. Situs IFLScience.org palsu menggunakan tata letak yang hampir sama sebagai situs IFLScience.com (yang asli), bentuk trik kamuflase yang sering membuat pembaca untuk berpikir bahwa mereka membaca berita otentik, tetapi sebenarnya tidak.
Sebagai perbandingan, dua situs ini (yang asli dan yang palsu) memiliki beberapa perbedaan mencolok :
* IFLScience.org menggunakan tagline "100% Mostest Official and More Sciencey."
* Pada Mei 2015, IFLScience.org hanya memiliki beberapa ratus orang pengikut di Facebook, sementara IFLScience.com memiliki jutaan follower.
* Terdapat ikon twitter di IFLScience.org, yang jika Anda klik maka menuju ke Halaman Facebook (Fanpage) satir bernuansa kristiani bernama Christians Against Dinosaurs.
* Logo yang digunakan pada IFLScience.org dan IFLScience.com terlihat mirip tetapi jelas sangat berbeda :

Lalu, foto yang diklaim sebagai Profesor kimia Dr Winston Corrigan yang digunakan untuk menemani artikel tersebut sebenarnya adalah (warna diubah) Gary Sandford Raub, tahanan yang ditangkap pada tahun 2012 karena terbukti pada 1976 menusuk hingga mati seorang wanita tua berusia 70 tahun di Augusta :
