DELIRIOUS.

[Jesus]

_DELIRIOUS.

It was the year 1875, the year Doctor Laurence D. Hopkins established possibly the greatest but also the most mysterious insane asylums ever known. Yes, many patients who supposedly had diseases that were said to be untreatable were cured, all traces of insanity removed from their minds and bodies, but how events like these occurred, nobody ever found out. Even the patients, who were constantly kept on strict watch, were never allowed to venture down into the basement or lower portion of the hospital, as if the hospital was keeping something… secret down below. As if the place couldn’t get any more insane, patients with only mild mental problems ended up reaching such an extreme version of their disease, they became destined to stay enclosed inside of the hospital’s walls forever. Entering the lower half always had a different outcome; those who were utterly insane might exit seeming as normal as possible, while those who used to be fine seemed to be completely different people.

After a ghastly accident occurred only 7 years after the hospital’s opening date, people became suspicious, even some of the patients gathering up enough courage to wander away at night and attempt to enter the lower, unknown territory of the asylum. This accident that had caused it all, caused all to become suspicious, was the death of a patient. Yes, death was common at the asylum, but not when an experiment so simple, one that has never in medical history created an injury, fails. Rumors of it being a murder began to spread, along with the fact that many who entered the lower portion exited acting as loopy as ever, some claiming that the person who had accompanied them on the trip to the lower half disappearing. In an attempt to fix the problem, Dr. Hopkins’s simple response was that the patients were only delirious and were imagining the whole idea in their drugged up and insane minds, his excuse resulting in failure.

Afraid of what might happen, Doctor Hopkins closed the asylum down and abandoned it, letting it sit alone for 126 years before a hopeful soul discovered what remained of it. With a huge sum of money and large dreams, Milo McBain completely renovated the hospital and opened it up in the year 2009, changing all except for the lower portion and the strict policies that accompanied the hospital in its glory days.

Patients continue to be kept on strict observance, while even getting close to the large doors of the lower half is utterly impossible, the reason as to why still yet to be discovered. As suspicions grow and rumors spread, the truth of what really happens will hopefully find its way out, no matter how hard the staff attempts to shush the patients and ban them from anything and everything. Some people, so desperate to know the secrets, sacrifice their minds by simply pretending to be insane, their mind regretting the whole process the minute they exit the lower half as a new person with a new mind… a mind that’s delirious.

The Summarization:
Asylum in old German castle. Ghost-stories and rumors, bad things happen, shut down, reopen, continuation of bad things.
The mystery revolves around the strange occurrences in the asylum, trying to find out what the owners are and still are trying to so desperately hide. And, of course, finding out a few secrets of what really happens in the asylum. This forum is the third (technically fourth) version, which takes place after a patient named Tobias Strauss was tinkering about in the middle of the night and inexplicably 'saw/heard' something and was 'attacked'. However, no one really believes him.
