3 True Mental Hospital Horror Stories That Will Break Your Mind · True Horror Stories

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: This happened to me about three months ago. A bit
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: of background about myself. I suffer from chronic pain from
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: a back injury that has been operated on three times.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Most of the time I deal with it and live
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: my life, but every few years it really gets to me.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I go into these bad states of depression and I
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: stop talking to my family and generally turn into a hermit.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: When this happens, my family gets very worried that I'm
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: going to hurt myself. I have no idea why. I
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: have never made an attempt or even said that I
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: was planning to. They send me to a psych er,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: at which point they usually put me on a fifty
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: one fifty for those who don't know, that means a
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: three day hold. They send me off to the local
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: psych ward. None of this has really bothered me before.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I have good insurance, so the place they send me
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: is basically like a hotel where you can't have shoe laces.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: When they will you in is the worst part. And
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: if you're emitted in the middle of the day, like
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I was, your willed right through the day room where
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: all the other patients stare at you coming in, this
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: might be a good time to describe myself. I'm a male,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: just a bit over six two, around two hundred and
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: eighty five pounds, with tattoos covering both arms, and since
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I have been depressed for months, my beard and hair
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: were out of control at this point, and I looked
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: like a generic biker. So generally I don't ever have
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: a problem with people trying to mess with me. I'm
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: a very friendly guy, but unless you know me, I
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: don't look like it. As I have been through this
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a couple of times before I know the gist of
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen. They take all my info, make
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: sure that I have no lass or anything with strings,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and they then show me to my room. This like
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: word is co ed, but roommates can only be the
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: same sex. It's also low security, meaning everyone in here
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: is supposedly non violent. My only problem with this place
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: is that they have people like me with no history
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: of mental illness who are just going through a hard
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: time mixed in with all different levels of patience. But
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: in the last two visits here, I've never had a
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: problem with anyone, and I was hoping that I would
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: just do my three days and be done. They send
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: me to my room and the nurse says that my
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: roommate's name is Tim. She also starts to say something
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: along the lines of Tim is Tim's a really nice guy,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: which of course made me a bit weary. But we're
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: in a psych word. Everyone in here has some issues.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: These rooms are basically like any crappy motel, except maybe
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: a bit bigger. There's two beds, a bathroom which annoyingly
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: doesn't have a full door, one desk, and each patient
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: gets their own dresser. It's three PM and Tim is
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: sound asleep, which isn't that weird since everyone is on
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: different medications that knock them out or make them just
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: to have weird sleep habits, so I don't think anything
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: of it. As a matter of fact, After spending hours
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: in the er and a couple more getting all signed in,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I'm dead tired myself, and I decided to fall asleep,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: which I do almost instantly. I have no idea how
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: long I slept for, but when I wake up, it's
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: pitch black outside and only the small floor light that
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you can't turn off is giving the room some illumination.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Tim is wide awake and sitting up on his bedst
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: what's up, man, I'm Brian, I would have said hi earlier,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: but you were sleeping, didn't They say his name was Tim.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I was trying to be as friendly as possible, since
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: it's just easier to get along with everyone in places
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: like this. Yeah, earlier, I was a bit tired too.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I try to sleep as much as possible so I
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: don't have to interact with any of the demons. This
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: should have been a giant red flag in my queue
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: to ask for a different room, but Tim was much
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: smaller than me, and they search you when you first
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: come in, so I had no reason to fear him,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and I decided to make conversation with him about these demons,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: which I found out to him were all the nurses
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and doctors. After talking to him about this, I told
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: him that I was still very tired and needed some
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: more sleep, okay, and it's really nice to finally have
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: a fellow human as a roommate. I took this as
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: a sign that he was okay with me and that
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I didn't have to sleep with one eye open. I
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: woke up early the next morning for breakfast since I
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: hadn't eaten in twenty four hours. After I sit down,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Tim comes out and sits next to me. Aside from
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: referring to the nurses and doctors as demons, he seemed
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: pretty normal. We chatted about normal things for a while
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: until he suddenly stops talking and begins staring at some
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: one behind me. You see her, that's Jessica. She's an angel.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I turned around to see a very attractive girl who
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: looked to be in her early twenties, maybe even eighteen
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: or nineteen. She waves and says hello to Tim and
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: everyone else who was sitting in the dining room area.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: She was one of those social butterflies who goes out
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: of their way to be super nice to everyone. When
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I looked back, I noticed that he was staring at
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: her a bit too much, and I snapped my fingers, Hey, man,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: don't freak her out. He gave me a very confused look,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: like I had said the most absurd thing in the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: world to him, and he got very quiet after that. Honestly,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I didn't think much of it, as I had my
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: own shit to deal with. The rest of the day
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: was the usual in a place like this. You have
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: to go to meetings, talk to your doctor, take your medication,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: but the majority of the time you're just bored. Out
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: of your mind. A TV gets like four channels. Even
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: if one of them was HBO, it was hit or miss.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: So I spent the majority of the time reading books
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: in the day room. While I'm reading a book, Jessica
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: comes up to me, introduces herself, and begins asking me
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: all kinds of questions about my tattoos while I'm reading
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the story of my life. Like me, she was basically
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a normal person having a hard time. She just had
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: bad anxiety problems that caused her to have panic attacks,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: mainly since she had just started college and couldn't really
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: deal with the pressure too well. We ended up talking
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: for a couple of hours, and I didn't even think
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: about it until after. But Tim was walking past us
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: over and over. A lot of people did laps in
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: this place to pass the time, so I didn't really
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: think much of it. I later learned he was basically
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: staring a hole through the back of my head the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: entire time. After talking to Jessica for a while, I
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: tell her I'm going to go take a shower before
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: dinner and we'll catch up later. As I said before,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the bathrooms in this place only have half doors. Picture
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: those old western saloon doors so when I'm done, I
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: can see Ten's legs under the door. What's up, man,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: do you need to use the bathroom. I'll be just
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: a minute. I got a change. He doesn't say anything
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: and just stands there. You're starting to freak me out
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: a bit. I can hear him breathing heavy, and these
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: doors don't walk, so he could have just pushed it
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: open if he wanted to. Dude, you need to back
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: up because I need to get out. He then begins
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: shouting at me, You're Satan, You're Lucifer, over and over.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I am now full blown freaking out at this point.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: If I open the door and beat the shit out
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: of the sky, it's going to be me who get
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: shot in the ass and put in to the quiet room.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: But I don't know what else to do. Even though
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: he's screaming as loud as he can, no nurses seem
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: to be coming out. The doors to the bedroom in
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: this place are very thick. I'm pretty sure it's because
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: if some of the patients scream in the night, they'll
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: want the other patients being woken up. After what felt
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: like ten minutes but was probably closer to one, he
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: stops and leaves the room, I get dressed and instantly
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: go find a nurse to tell them what just happened.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I have no idea what they said to him, but
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: they immediately put me into a different room. I don't
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: see him at all for the rest of the night,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: but I'm legit freaked out. No one has ever screamed
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: at me or cornered me like that before, and I
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: couldn't sleep at all that night. Since they don't have clocks,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I have no idea what time it is when I
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: hear him from the day room where the nurse's station is.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Where is he Why isn't he coming back to sleep?
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: It was the same tone he was using when he
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: was screaming at me in the bathroom. I cracked the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: door just a bit so I could hear the nurse
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: talking to him. You'll see him in the daytime and
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: you can talk to him then and I go back
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to bed, but I have to see him tonight. It's
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: an emergency. This goes on for another thirty seconds before
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: security finally gets there and I hear a scuffle, But
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: there is no way in hell I was going out
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: there to see what was going on. I can still
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: hear him yelling, but I couldn't make out what he
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: was saying, and it eventually starts to fade. I figure
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: that he was escorted to the quiet room, which was
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: on the opposite side of the ward. Needless to say,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: even with him in the quiet room, I laid awake
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the entire night. Morning came and my doctor is already there,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: which I found very strange. I usually only saw him
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: well after dinner time. He calls me into the interview
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: room to talk to me. He basically asks me about
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: all the interactions I've had with Tem. I go over everything.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: When I was done, he tells me that I no
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: longer have to worry about Tim because he's been transferred
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: to a different hospital. I have lived around here my
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: entire life, so I actually knew about the hospital he
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: was sent to, and it's pretty hardcore. It's the kind
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: of place where they lock you into a room most
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: of the day. I felt kind of bad because I
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: knew he thought I was trying to steal his angel
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: and was just angry with me over a misunderstanding. But whatever.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: It's also nice to know that I'm not going to
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: have to hit some poor guy in the face for
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: creeping me the hell out. I finish my stay and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I actually felt a lot better about everything. My pain
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: is being managed better, and I'm ready to stop being
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: such a hermit. My grandmother comes and picks me up,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: and I think that we're ready to leave, But the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: doctor is there again very early, and my grandmother is
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: giving me a life that has me a bit worried.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I thought that they were going to make me stay longer.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Once again, I was brought to the interview room. This
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: is where they tell me what really happened that night,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: which they didn't want me knowing until I completed my treatment.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: That night, Tim came out over and over again asking
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the nurse when I was coming back. The nurse just
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: kept telling him that he would see me in the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: morning and did not tell him that I had switched rooms.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Apparently this went on for hours before he finally started
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: screaming about it. Security came and he was moved to
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the quiet room and given a shot to incapacitate him.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: The nurse got in touch with Tim's doctor and told
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: him about the situation. Tim's doctor suggested that he be
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: moved to the medium security wing upstairs until I left.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: When they went together, Tim's belongings. They found a seven
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: inch piece of metal that he had broke off from
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: a table in the TV room. That room has cameras
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: and also has windows where you can see the nurse's station.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: So my guess is he waited until they weren't looking
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: and worked on it until he broke it off. I'm
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: ninety nine point nine nine percent certain that me asking
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: to change rooms is what saved me from being stabbed
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: to death while I was sleeping. The doctors agreed, which
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: is why he was sent to that other hospital. Since
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: he never actually attacked me, he wasn't charged with a crime,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: and I have no idea how long he was held for.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: But I'll be a happy man if I never run
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: into him ever again. I like to preface this by
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: saying that not all mental health professionals are terrible people.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Good doctors and medication have saved my life. I also
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: did not grow up in the United States, so if
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: he hears something in the story that makes you go, oh,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: that's not how it works. Keep in mind that different
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: countries have different laws. Furthermore, this is about my experiences
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: while staying at a psych ward, So this is your
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: trigger warning. All right. Here we go. I was a
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: troubled kid. I'm kind of a troubled person in general,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: but when I was in my early teens, specifically fourteen,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I would hurt myself and refuse to go to school.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: So I was put on a witting list to a
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: mental hospital for children. I know now that the fact
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: that I was on that waiting list for close to
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: half a year should have been the first warning sign.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: At the time, I just enjoyed being on sick leave
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: from school, which basically meant that I would go play
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the sims until six in the morning for five months straight.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: But when I had to pack my stuff to actually
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: go to the hospital, I of course did not want
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: to go. I wanted to get help, don't get me wrong,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: but the idea scared me of being away from home
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: for six weeks, which is the standard time they take
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: to analyze and observe you to give a diagnosis, after
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: which you can choose to pursue treatment. I arrived at
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the hospital and shambles my mom carrying my suit case
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: for me. The nurses noticed that obviously I didn't want
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: to be there. Are you here of your own free will?
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: The doctor asked me. I shook my head. They just
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: shrugged it off, saying that they could get a court
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: order forcing me to stay there. I never went in
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: front of a judge. I never got a chance to
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: defend or explain myself. As far as I knew, my
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: parents didn't talk to a judge either. The court glossed
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: over my medical history and signed a piece of paper
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: that forced me to stay in this hell hole for
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the next six weeks. The contents of my suit case
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: were searched, and I remember feeling that I had just
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: r in prison. The first terrifying thing that happened was
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: on the first night. As I mentioned before, I had
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: a history with self harm. When wound's heel, they often itch.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I had reopened some of my old scabs, and when
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I went to the nurse to ask for a bandage,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: everyone went nuts to them. I had purposely harm to myself,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: which I couldn't prove otherwise. So what do you do
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: with a fourteen year old patient in this kind of situation?
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Do you talk to her, maybe try to help. No,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: we take away all of her jewelry, a necklace from
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: my mom and a bracelet for my ex girlfriend, who
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: at the time I still had very strong feelings for
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: and then you send her to the time out room
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: for twenty four hours. The time out room was a
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: small room with a very big window. I could just
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: barely fit a bed inside of it. If I had
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: to use the restroom, I would have to ask a
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: nurse to accompany me. All of my clothes, including my
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: underwear and pajamas, were taken and kept in the front office,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: so whenever I would need clothes, I had to go
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: to the front office and ask for them. But apart
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: from having to ask for clothes and to use the bathroom,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I was completely left alone in that room. Nobody ever
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: came to check on me. Getting out of the time
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: out room wasn't a whole lot better. For the first
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: week or two, I had these horrible stomach pains. I
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: would get up multiple times a night to use the restroom, which,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: by the way, even if you weren't in the time
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: out room, they still weren't in the regular rooms. You
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: had to walk down the hall. Because my stomach kept
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: me up all night, I would often not get enough
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: sleep and ended up sleeping through the day, which caused
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: me to miss out on group activities. Instead of waking
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: me up, I was bitched at and I quote, if
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I was up all night the halls, i'd be tired too.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Did they want me to shit the bed? And because
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I didn't partake in group activities, I couldn't earn the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: outside time. Yes, that was something that had to be earned,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: even just sitting on the front steps with a nurse.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: So for the next six weeks I was effectively locked up,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: except for school and weekends where I was allowed to
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: go home. It was blatantly obvious that none of them
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: nurses actually cared about any of the patients. They weren't
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: even real nurses. They were more like prison guards. One
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: of them straight up looked like a homeless person. Another
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: sounded like she had been a five pack a day
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: smoker her entire life. And all of them, and I
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: do mean all, were chain smokers. Every free seconds they
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: had they would use it for a smoke break right
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: outside the open door, too, so that all the other
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: kids who were currently going through nicotine withdrawals could smell
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: the smoke. Within six weeks of staying at the mental hospital,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I saw a psychiatrist a wopping two times, once for
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: a general introduction and once for an IQ test. Anyone
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: who has ever struggled with mental illness probably knows that
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: phrases like just pull yourself together or get over it
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: are the least helpful things that one could say to
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: a mentally ill person. There was one instance where another
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: patient who was an arachnophobe, came running out of her
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: room practically having a panic attack because she had woken
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: up to a spider directly in front of her face.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Do you know what They told her, Stop being such
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: a baby, It's just a spider. They gave her a
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: broom to get rid of it herself, which obviously she
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: could not do. My roommate and I ended up helping her.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Both of us are scared of spiders as well, mind you.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: But possibly the most outrageous thing that happened was on
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: my second till last day. Someone had told the guards
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: that I smuggled in a razor blade. So they pulled
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: me out of breakfast and searched me from top to bottom,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: stripping my clothes off, with the door to the nurse's
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: room wide open. When they didn't find anything on me,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: they tore apart my room. They didn't find one there either.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: They did find one lying on the floor in the hallway.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: It was even still in its wrapper. I was not
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: the only patient who engaged in self harm. As a
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: matter of fact, there wasn't a single female patient who
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: didn't struggle with that same affliction. That blade could have
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: belonged to anyone. They had no proof it was mine,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: but of course it was assumed that it belonged to me.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I was thrown into the time out room for another
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: twenty four hours. Literally my the last twenty four hours there.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: They paid so little attention to the timeout room that
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: someone was able to slip something under the door so
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: that I could take out my frustrations on myself. In
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: case you're wondering if my parents were in on all this,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: my mother wanted to get me out of that place
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: as soon as she heard about the time out room,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: but since my parents had joint custody, she had to
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: get my father to agree to it. My father is
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: a whole nother story, but to make it short, he
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: hadn't talked to me in four years, but was somehow
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: convinced that I needed help and refused to get me
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: out of there. My final diagnosis from that place narcissistic neurosis.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I was fourteen and to this day, I have no
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: idea how they came up with any kind of diagnosis,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: considering that I had seen an actual psychiatrist a total
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: of two times. Additionally, this diagnosis was delivered to me,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: my parents, and I by the head doctor of the hospital,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: who I had never seen the entire time I was there.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I was offered to stay and begin behavioral therapy. But
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I guess it goes without saying that I politely declined
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: that offer. Every therapist and psychiatrists that I have talked
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: to since, and trust me, there's been a few over
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: the years, have disregarded that diagnosis entirely. Some even laughed
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: at it. I am currently diagnosed with bipolar depression and
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: a panic disorder. My current psychiatrist has suggested that I
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: might suffer from borderline personality disorder. I guess the moral
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: of the story is to always do your research on
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: a hospital before you plan on admitting yourself. I assure
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: a shit hope that I never see any of those guards, nurses,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: or doctors ever. Again. This is so and that I've
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: been wanting to talk about for a while. To be
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: sure that everyone is cautious and stays level headed at
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: all times. Now, for some context. I lived in the
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: middle of Nowhere, Canada. It was an old town that
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: had quite a few abandoned buildings due to the absence
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: of residence. Me and many of my friends were tired
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: of the lack of entertainment options for us, so we
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: would go exploring in these abandoned buildings. Prior to this experience,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: nothing too crazy has ever happened to us. Occasionally we
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: would see a small amount of liquid that looked like
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: blood and a pentagram on the ground left by someone
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: who was there previously, but nothing too out of the ordinary.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: That was until the last time I went exploring. When
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I was younger, I used to go to a daycare
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: that was part of a mental hospital. It was a
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: weird combination. It closed down due to a lack of
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: patience and the lack of children of the daycare. I
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: decided to go back there with my friends a few
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: years ago. I was fifteen when this happened, and most
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: of my friends were around the same age. When we
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: got there, it was rather cliche. There was a fog,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: it was dark, and there was a light drizzle. We
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: went to the main gate, which was locked shut. We
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: decided to help each other hop over, making a ton
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: of noise. We were laughing the entire time, completely oblivious
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: of what was to come. We looked around the small
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: play area with flashlights, but even with our flashlights, our
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: visibility was rather limited. We decided to enter the decaying building.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Glass and dirt crunched under our feet as we stepped
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: into the daycare section of the complex. There were still
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: old legos, wood chips, torn dolls, and toys strewn about.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: The further we went into the daycare section, we naturally
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: became more and more silent, until all we could hear
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: was the sound of the dirt crunching under our feet.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: I found some crayons and a plastic container in the
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: corner of the room. I walked over to pick them up,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: when all of a sudden, we heard a loud crash
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: coming from behind a metal door, which led to the
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: psych word part of the building. My friends and I
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: all looked at each other. As a whole, we were
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: a group of five, most of us were very bold
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: and cocky. My friend Brian then suggested that we go
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: look to see where the sound came from. Personally, I
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: was not too fond of that idea, but with my
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: group of friends. There was no way I was going
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: to decline. We all stacked up on the door and
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: opened it. It was rusted to the floor and we
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: had to heave to get it open. The metallic smells
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: and must became stronger with a hint of something else
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I couldn't quite put my finger on. We walked in,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: our flashlights pointed in every direction, with Brian leading the group.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: The hallways were tight and there were mittle doorways to
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: our left and right. Some of them were open. I
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: felt slightly claustrophobic, and it was becoming difficult for me
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: to breathe. As we continued. Brian shined his flashlight into
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: a room, then recoiled. We all stopped walking as Brian
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: slowly entered that room. What is it? I asked him.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: I thought I saw someone in here, but I guess
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: it was just my imagination. To be honest, I thought
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: it was messing with us to increase our anxiety, But
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: looking back now, I think he was being completely honest.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: He backed out of the room and we continued walking
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: deeper into the psych ward. Another friend in the group
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: told us to stop. We all came to a halt
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: and listened in the distance ahead of us, we heard
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: the sound of subtle footsteps echoing through the hallway. We
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: all looked at each other, fear in our eyes. Brian
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: continued walking toward the sounds. The rest of us considered
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: turning back, wondering if it was a ghost or something
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: else in the building with us, but we couldn't just
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: leave Brian behind. The closer we got, the more I
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: felt I was in danger. We finally entered a room
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: on the right which smelled of rotting meat. In front
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: of us was a evascerated deer carcass. Its enterds were
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: all over the floor, standing the concrete. One of my friends,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: who had a very weak stomach, instantly vomited all over
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: the floor. That's when we heard whispering from somewhere nearby.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Brian shined his flashlight to the corner of the room,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: where a man was short hair was standing with his
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: head down. He wore a bright green shirt stained with
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: what I assumed was blood. He didn't have any socks
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: or shoes on his exposed, damaged feet. The man was
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: twitching sporadically. We stared at him for a solid thirty
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: seconds before he made his first move. He looked up
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: at us with a haunting grin that sent shivers down
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: my spine. You guys here for the feast, he asked.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: This kicked us all over the edge, and we bolted
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: out of that room all the way back to the
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: daycare center. The door was still open, and we decided
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: to try and slam it shut, but the rust and
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: the heaviness of the door almost kept it open. It
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: took three of us pulling with all of our strength
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: to close it. Just before we did, I could see
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: the silhouette of the man watching us from down the hall,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: his white teeth being the only feature that I could see.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: As we sat behind the door catching our breath, we
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: looked at each other for confirmation that we all saw
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: the same thing. After a while of labored breathing, we
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: heard a light tapping on the door. That's when we
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: descended it was time to go. We booked it out
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: of there and ran back home. A year after we
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: visited that spot, the police went there to do a
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: routine check of the area and they found that man.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: It was stated that this person used to go to
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: the syk Ward before it closed down. He escaped the
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: facility that he was transferred to and lived off for
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: the wildlife around the complex. When the comps brought him men,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: he had a series of diseases and sickness from eating
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: raw meat. His mental condition was much worse than before.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: There were other rumors that he killed somebody in the
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: forest while searching for food. So if you're going to
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: go exploring in abandoned buildings, don't forget my story and
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: always be on your guard.
