Under a Spell Inexplicable Hypnotic Delusions Reported
Curious cases from an unnamed county describe patients falling into immobility for years, believed to be hypnotic trances cast by others. The humane society notes the phenomenon, with recovery sometimes triggered by a sudden shock or movement. Doctors suspect a rare mental state rather than physical illness, while archival records contain similar references to impaired mobility and recovery.
