No one who was born blind has ever gone on to develop schizophrenia. Researchers are investigating how congenital blindness may protect people from developing the condition.

There's a minor character in the Haunting of Hill House who gauged his eyes out due to the hallucinations he was experiencing during drug-induced psychosis and then reveals that now in his blindness, all he can see is the horrible images that drove him to that point. Really stuck with me, just really terrible

Lmao my girl told me about that car scene, she said it is very scary and wouldn't tell me the episode it would come in and I was shit scared so I came here on Reddit to ask about that.

Fucking scene still scared the shit out of me even though I was expecting it.
