This is the first thread in a long time that I have read through all 4 pages of posts. In school I originally wanted to be a psychologist and studied
abnormal psych as my specialty. Though I went on to other things there was something about this case that sparked a memory.
I remember a case that was presented to us in class about a man who thought that he was a host to a parasite. This symbiote had an influence over him
that acted like a little devil that sat on his shoulder. It told him to hurt people as well as himself. Though he was diagnosed as suffering from
Schizophrenia he was never treated because they found him with his skull fractured because he "
hit himself in the head to open his skull to remove
the symbiote."
Trying to find a similar case I did a search this type of affliction and came across this link,
"whats wrong with me? HELP - Mental Illness" and found
some interesting coincidences with the twins story.
1. The poster wrote "I came to realize that one of the entities tried to trick me into commiting suicide. It typed out a message: "Consider killing
yourself, you may be harvesting an alien in your stomach, and the only way to live, is to die. Who do you want to believe, yourself or your
government?"
Maybe this was what the Twins were trying to do?
2. "It was in 2003 that I experienced full blown psychosis due to Cannabis (marijuana) use."
The commonality of smoking, whatever, could be a delivery for a drug that could cause these symptoms. I have never heard of THC causing a schizoid
episode.
3. "Most of the few days of craziness revolved around visions, I was receiving visions, past memories were brought up, it felt like I had knowledge
of everything that has ever happened in the universe and all that will happen. It also felt like there was no past, present or future. I also felt
like I was god. I also believed I was god."
If you thought you were God you would not care about pain or injury.
This is all a hypothesis, I was really just trying to find a plausible answer for what they did. Food for thought to this great topic. S&F!
