Please see my post on page 1 re a recognised but very rare condition called 'folie a deux'
Related phenomena
There have been reports that a similar phenomenon to folie à deux had been induced by the military incapacitating agent BZ in the late 60s,[3][4] and most recently again by anthropologists in the South American rainforest consuming the hallucinogen ayahuasca (Metzner, 1999)[5]
Dr. Van Sim, chief of the Clinical Research Division, tried all new chemicals himself before subjecting volunteers to them. "Did he enjoy getting high, or were his acid trips simply a patriotic duty?" ask Lee and Shlain. Sim, who had tried acid on "several" occasions, reported, "It's not a matter of compulsiveness or wanting to be the first to try a material." He later described his first experience with BZ: "It zonked me for three days. I kept falling down and the people at the lab assigned someone to follow me around with a mattress." He later received the Decoration for Exceptional Civilian Service, cited for "exposing himself to dangerous drugs 'at the risk of grave personal injury.'" Talk about lying down on the job..

AFAIK, they hadn't escaped from anywhere, they were both in perfectly normal relationships, one in the USA, one in Ireland.
This syndrome is most commonly diagnosed when the two or more individuals concerned live in proximity and may be socially or physically isolated and have little interaction with other people.

I remeber watching this on Motorway Patrol. I must say that it is one of the strangest set of events i have seen for a while.
Gonna watch the rest of this program now to see what happened after the initial scenario.
