Man Thinks He's in Silent Hill, Blacks Out Hospital

" There are a lot of blacked out hospitals in Silent Hill.

Video games are getting more realistic and lifelike with each new development, but one patient suffering from a psychosis in a Dutch hospital was truly convinced that he was playing in a real life Silent Hill.

35-year-old Jan H. found his way down to the basement of the Sophia hospital in Zwolle, where he found a number of levers and switches that controlled the power to the building. The man thought that, by operating the levers and switches, he would win a toothbrush.

While it's unknown whether or not Jan H. eventually got his toothbrush, the power outage caused elevators to stall and patients who were on respiratory machines to be assisted manually. Fortunately, no patients suffered any lasting consequences, according to 24oranges (http://www.24oranges.nl/2009/10/28/man-found-not-guilty-after-blacking-out-hospital/).

A court on Tuesday found Jan H. not guilty of his actions because he did not know the consequences of his actions. "

there is a guy in the uk called derren brown, he is a hypnotists/phycologist sort of show man.

anyhows he installed a game similar to silent hill in a pub, he also installed lights in the game to induce a hypnotic state. when the player started to play the game he was hypnotised and kind of fell asleep, he was then rushed away to a derelict building and reawoken.

when he was awake he realised he was in a derelict building surrounded by corpses, in his hand he had a shotgun (looked like a plastic toy gun).

and the game continued. he was shooting all these people who were acting like zombies. they all had the blood splatter things from the movies. he was then re hypnotised and placed back in the pub...

it was ok to watch bt hard to beleive, in saying that your mind can do funny things to you..

I don't know if that would be cool or not. I've always imagined kind of being placed inside a video game(sort of like the latest film Gamer), and it sounds like that's what this hypnotist is doing.

As long as it didn't leave any pyschological effects, I'm sure that could be fun.

this guy needs to go to a mental hospital

seriously people with such "weak" brains shouldn't be allowed to play such games
