Thing that hurt your mind!

[pyro_moogle]

This is a true story.

The mind is a powerful machine. It controls your body's functions. It can even cause death. One man was doing clean up duty in a train yard. He enters a freezer car when suddenly the door shuts. He screames and yells, but no one comes. Later he is found dead with a note saying I am so cold I love you (i forgot his wife's name). He froze to death. The car he was in had a broken cooling unit. It was 87 in the car when he died. When the morgue did the autopsy(sp) they concluded that he froze to death.

This all goes to show do think about things to hard. Might come true.

Man, taht chills me to the bone.

*gets pelted with fruits for the cheesy joke*

I would have to see documentation of that befor taking it too seriously though, I wouldnt be suprised if it was an urban myth.

Yeah, I'm with piloswine on this one. The mind is a powerful thing, no doubt...but I don't think it's possible to freeze to death in a warm car. A cool car, maybe, but not one that's 87 degrees.

Turns out it's an urban legend after all. There's tons of these stories floating around the internet. Sometimes it's a walk-in freezer, other times it's a freezer boxcar. Sometimes it's a room that is supposedly airtight (but isn't) and the man suffocates to death. A quick quote from the article:

"Because this type of story involves a death caused by something contradictory to the physical evidence, a search of the deceased's pockets or a quick glance at the floor or walls will inevitably turn up a note detailing the final hours of his life. The note is a necessary plot element in this type of tale, as the victim's thoughts just prior to his death are key to the story, details we couldn't know without his conveniently having left a written record of what he'd been thinking."

Oh my pastor told it at church. He said it was real. Ok, but it is still freaky.

Wether the story is true or not..
Belief is indeed a powerful thing, like.. say, bolhemic people?
They usually aren't fat, but they BELIEVE they are, thus they starve themselvs to death....

Ah, I was wondering about that. Very often these stories are urban legends, but they're interesting nonetheless (more for the urban legend than the story itself, but it is much the same).

[livewire]

Don't all urban legends have some base in reality, though?

[Scribs]

not necisarily, but most probably do.

Hmm... Well, I could believe it if he went into some kind of state of mental shock. But, freezing to death in 87 degree temperature? Eh... Oh well. XD; Interesting story, all the same.
