Survival, Psychosis, and Other Fun Group Activities

Live Show Tickets Here! Ever shared a delusion so hard it needed a group chat? In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro explore the truly mind-bending case of folie à trois. In this rare psychological phenomenon, three people spiral into the same shared psychosis. It's like synchronized swimming, but with hallucinations and existential dread. Then, buckle up for the harrowing and awe-inspiring true story of Alison Botha, who survived one of the most brutal attempted murders ever recorded—and lived to tell it with jaw-dropping resilience. From the bizarre depths of shared delusional disorder to a real-life tale of survival that redefines the word “unbreakable,” this episode delivers the weird, the dark, and the human spirit at its strangest.
