Episode Details

Have you ever wondered if madness could be contagious?  We usually think of pathogens and viruses spreading from person to person, but what about a delusion?  This week, we are opening up the vault to bring you a re-release of one of the most mind-bending medical mysteries we've ever covered. We are diving back into the harrowing and truly bizarre case of the Eriksson twins.

Ursula and Sabina Eriksson were identical twins whose sudden, explosive shared psychosis on a busy British motorway left police, medics, and the public completely stunned. It is a textbook, yet terrifying, example of folie à deux, where a severe delusion fractures reality not just for one person, but for two closely bonded individuals.
