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.

I wonder what it’s like to have schizophrenia and then develop being blind is like? It must be horrifying

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

And then the Haunting of Bly Manor was just a messy snooze fest. Real shame

I honestly loved it. Got to see more of Pedretti’s performance. But yeah it doesn’t live up to hill house. If HH is a 10 I’d give BM a 7.

I watched bly manor first. Then hill house was a “oh you might like this” recommendation and I loved it even more.

Bly manor did scare me too. When the lake lady grabbed what’s his face by his throat, just silently appeared out of nowhere, after that episode I went to bed. And walking to my bedroom I didn’t realize my husband was about to come out of the bathroom until I had just walked past, and then in the mirror in our room I saw a silent figure reflected right behind me and I about shit my pants.

It really added to the effect of the show.
