Sure. There was a story of a patient in an old asylum who believed he was a famous painter from the past. He would spend all day 'painting' on the walls with his fingers, creating elaborate scenes only he could understand. The asylum staff at first tried to stop him, but later realized it was a form of therapy for him.
One interesting story is of a patient who thought he was a bird. He would flap his arms and try to perch on the window sills. The asylum workers had to be very careful with him to prevent him from getting hurt while he was in this 'bird - like' state.
Once, there was a patient in a mental asylum who thought he was a famous singer. He would hold an invisible microphone and sing at the top of his lungs all day. His performances were so energetic and out - of - tune that it made everyone around him laugh.
One story is about a patient in a mental asylum who was always heard whispering at night. The nurses would find him in the same corner every morning, staring at a blank wall. One night, a new nurse decided to check on him closely. As she got near, she heard him say 'They're coming for you too.' It sent chills down her spine.
One real story is about a young woman with depression. She felt a deep sense of hopelessness and lost interest in things she used to love, like painting. She would stay in bed all day, not wanting to face the world. It took a long time of therapy and support from her family to start seeing some improvement.
There was an old asylum where a patient was known for her prophetic drawings. She drew pictures of events that later happened in the asylum, like a fire in the kitchen. People thought she had some kind of psychic connection. It was really creepy because no one could explain how she knew these things were going to occur. And the asylum had a very gloomy and oppressive atmosphere which added to the mystery of her drawings.
One story is about a mental patient who was believed to be harmless in a small asylum. One night, he managed to get out of his locked room. He then silently entered the nurses' station. When a nurse turned around, he was just standing there, grinning, with a scalpel in his hand that he had somehow stolen from the medical supplies. It was truly terrifying.
Sure. There was a man who had been in a mental asylum for years due to schizophrenia. He started writing poetry as part of his therapy. His poems were about his struggles with his mental illness. Eventually, his work got noticed and was published in a local magazine. This gave him a new sense of purpose and self - worth, and his condition also improved as a result.
Some were treated poorly. They might have been restrained physically for long periods. There were cases of patients being locked in small cells without proper care or attention.
I knew a mental patient who thought he was a radio. He would make static noises and announce the 'news' like 'This is Radio Nutty, and today the weather in the asylum is sunny with a chance of crackers!'. It was really quite humorous how seriously he took his radio - person role.
There is an old asylum story about a ghostly piano. Supposedly, in the middle of the night, the sound of a piano playing could be heard coming from the abandoned music room in the asylum. No one knew who was playing it as all the pianos there were supposed to be out of tune and broken.
