Speaking of mentally ill people and the paranormal, Josh Turner covered some of that in one of his episodes about working security for halfway homes where there was a lot of mental illness. The things that go on in there are more spiritual than anything else, and it's some weird stuff...

I've worked with and been exposed to persons with schizophrenia. I've seen them hear, see, and interact with non-existent people and animals. One girl told me about the voices she heard, and what the medication did to her, etc. Those poor people are living in their own hell and no one understands it.
I've often wondered if some of them might simply be like a radio that's tuned to a slightly different frequency than the rest of us and maybe some of that they see and hear is quite real - just not on the same frequency others perceive.
Now THAT is a frightening thought.
The second frightening thought is that mental illness, like any illness, chooses its victims. It could be you, me, or anyone. My take-away on that is we need to be especially caring and helpful to people suffering with that stuff. (sometimes also cautious, because in some of its forms, it is dangerous to others). I watched the movie A Beautiful Mind. Keeping in mind that guy did NOTHING to deserve or to bring that on himself. The movie captured the "reality" in which he was living and how he, after being tortured by the "mental health" system, more or less learned to discern what he was seeing and hearing that was not real, and to ignore it, thus functioning in society.

In the soviet union you were considered "mentally ill" if you disagreed with communism, lol. Yeah, the solution is sometimes just as dangerous as the problem. I believe those illnesses are all real, however the diagnosis is likely to be wrong when the institution doing the examination doesn't account for things they consider "not real". Obviously being a political dissident is not a mental illness. Being demon possessed, or oppressed by an evil spirits CAN wreck your mind, CAN be misdiagnosed as schizophrenia, and hell, even heavy metal toxicity in the brain can cause some of those symptoms and is much more common than people realize. Sigh...

Speaking of the Soviet union, have you noticed how we almost never hear of anything paranormal coming out of Russia? There's stuff here and there, but nothing like what we get in the West. I'll bet they've got some super freaky stuff over there, especially in Siberia

Con,
You might enjoy researching the Dyatlov pass incident. Not sure if that's the correct spelling.

That's the one! That's such an interesting tale and stinks of government cover-up. I feel sorry for the victims and their families, those last few hours of their lives sounded terrifying, not a way to go at all. The ways they died and what they were doing (cutting their hands trying to scramble up a tree, running about naked, cutting the tent open from the inside) all sound like there was something down there with them. It's things like the Dyatlov Pass case that'll make me really watch my back out in the woods.

That's the same guy that had a bigfoot body sawed in pieces and frozen. At a later video I think he even eat a piece. FAKE

Thread locked by admin. OK, we get it, it's a satire/hoax. If I'd had the time to review it early on I could have noted that. This thread is locked.
