Sabina & Ursula Eriksson are two Swedish twins that shocked the medical world a few years back. The case begins when CCTV operators spot the women walking along the M6 motorway in Birmingham, UK. To the horror of the operators, they watch as both women fling themselves onto oncoming traffic. With no serious injuries, the women stand on the side of the road. Once the officers approach the women, the situation goes completely out of control. While being questioned, the women escape from the police and run again onto incoming traffic. All this, while the cameras from a reality television show were rolling.

What had possessed the women to act in such manner? A suicide pact? As it turns out, the worse was yet to come. Upon being released, Sabina Eriksson killed a man by stabbing him in the chest. She then ran off into the motorway again, smashing her head with a hammer as she ran through the streets.

The BBC documentary dives into the mysterious case that stumped paramedics, police and 7 million viewers through the media. Most interesting is seeing how the courts struggled on how to deal with this sort of case.

This strange case has stirred up plenty of conversations on whether the twins were victims of each others delusional psychosis or some other mental illness (Bouffée délirante). I’ve even read talks about demonic possession and government mind control drugs. The psychotic episodes of a person can be construed as paranormal by many.  And in that sense, the paranormal can be construed by psychotic episodes.
