North Point, Florida -
Florida police are investigating a high school principal who hypnotized three students who later died. They say Doctor George Kenney admitted to hypnotizing a 16-year-old boy who committed suicide one day after a private session. Kenney hypnotized two other students who died tragically, one took her own life and another died in a car crash.The doctor didn't immediately admit to having private sessions with the students.But many people at school and in the community knew what he was doing.
One teacher told investigators Kenney insisted on parental permission. A school report found that he continued the practice after three separate orders to stop. Kenney claims the students were happy to be hypnotized. Many were taking part in competitive sports and he said the hypnosis helped them focus. But he also acknowledged his passion for helping may have caused him to use quote "poor judgment."
Kenney hypnotized up to 75 people at the school, including students, parents, staff members and their children. A teacher at the school was also killed in a car crash while driving to work. It is not known whether she was hypnotized by Kenney.
He’s like a supervillian.
This appears a bit more serious than clucking like a chicken.
No encores, please.

Too coincidental? Perhaps these individuals had negative influences invading their mind contributing to tragedy. I don’t want anyone getting into my head more than they already do. This guy is dangerous and/or not wise.
I knew a guy in college that got hypnotized a LOT. That was until he started losing memory.....it was weird. He’d forget his name, where he was and had real bad problems in the classroom. Needless to say the guy that was doing it to him stopped.
Yeah. It was definitely the hypnotism. Stochasticity had nothing to do with it. “Post hoc ergo propter hoc” is an unquestionable scientific law.
Also, all black cats should be destroyed.
Agreed. However, I wonder what aspect of his hypnotism is being blamed?
