I have 2 theories:

  1. Journal is a hoax. Either a patient there wrote it as a short story, as a prank, or someone else wrote it as a hoax and put it there after the fact but that's less likely compared to it being from a patient.

  2. The patient was psychotic. Schizophrenia and psychosis will cause mass delusions. I wouldn't be surprised if this is simply just writing during a long episode of psychosis. Considering the scribbling, the writing looks like what is typically seen from a psychotic patient.

I wouldn't worry at all, though it's still creepy as hell.

I had some school friends that would love to pull off something like this. Probably still would if the opportunity came up.

In fact I suspect my cousin's pulled a similar trick on me when I was young. There was a burned out abandoned house walking distance from their house. And we found some tapes in a hole in the ground near a tree. Kinda seemed inspired by Blair witch project. The whole exploration seems like they were trying to hype things up a bit... One day when I see them again for a beer, I will ask. Haha

I agree with you. It could also be a young person. It’s definitely delusional. Really great find as it creates thoughts and conversations.
