An Encounter With Walk-Ins: Hallucination Or Reality?
I got a phone call. It was from an acquaintance living on a higher floor in the building where I live.
“Dave, can you come up and help Tony. He is laying on the floor in the hallway.”
I frowned…and sighed. Ok, lets get up there and see what is happening. I put on my shoes and arrived on this higher floor. I saw Tony sprawled on the floor at the door of our mutual acquaintance. I approached them and asked, “What’s up?”
Tony had trouble walking recently, and had crawled down the hallway to his friend’s door, then pounded on it asking for help. Tony said there were three people in his apartment, people he didn’t know. He was escaping them.
Now, it must be known that Tony was a drinker, a binge drinker. He was an older retired guy whose pastime were mainly libations. I entered his condo to make sure there was nobody there, and to get his walker. I looked around and no surprise nobody was there. When I returned to Tony with his walker the paramedics had arrived to take him away. Our mutual acquaintance had called 911.
Days later I visited Tony after he got back from his stay at the hospital to see how he was doing. He insisted that there were actual people in his condominium. He had a habit of leaving his door unlocked since he had trouble walking and didn’t always want to get up to open the door for visitors. However, his story got pretty strange.
While he was drying out from one of his binges, Tony said someone who resembled his nephew visited him. Tony’s nephew didn’t say anything outside of a few words. His nephew look-alike sat and watched television with him for quite a few hours and then left.
Later someone resembling a former lady friend arrived. Again, she said little and sat and joined him in watching television, saying little. Finally someone arrived who he thought was his good friend George. Little words were exchanged and they just hanged out. The following day he had his encounter with three strangers whom he called ugly, scary guys. That is when he escaped and crawled for help.
Tony was probably having alcohol-induced withdrawal hallucinations. Yet there were curious aspects to his hallucination. He didn’t see snakes, pink elephants or such fantasies. He saw versions of people he knew that seemed real. These were long hallucinations seemingly lasting for hours at a time. They appeared totally real to him. Even now he insisted his visitors were not his imagination. Tony totally believed actual people visited him. His friend George was with us as Tony told his story, and George and I glanced at each other. George had not visited him when he had his hallucination.
