The Mystery Gas that Paralysed a Town

In August of 1944, residents of Mattoon, Illinois began waking up in the middle of night to a strange, sweet smell floating in the room. When they tried to get out of bed and investigate, they realised… they couldn’t move their legs. These strange attacks spread through the town, house by house, until eventually every resident went to sleep fearing that they too would wake up to the sweet, deathly smell of the MATTOON MYSTERY GAS.
