Burned by a Paper Sun |S1| Ep. 2

About this episode

The episode explores the mysterious disappearance of Luke Stremholdt from a psychiatric hospital and the eerie experiences reported by other patients.

On November 13, 2017, the room of Luke Stremholdt at the Wilmore Psychiatric Hospital in Manchester, England was found empty. Upon inspection, he left a letter on his desk recounting the childhood experience (and delusions) that earned him his place in the hospital. No one in the facility claimed to have seen him, except for the few patients who said they saw him outside their windows, attached to a series of strings and being lifted into the sky.
