But they were not just visual hallucinations from which he was suffering.

I heard music and it seemed to be coming into the cell.

And it was really interesting and then, when it wouldn't go away,

after a few minutes, it got really frightening.

And then I got really afraid,

and that's when I kind of started banging my head against the wall, just to make this go away.

And the intoxication of it was not comforting,

and it went on for a very, very long time until I was really frightened of it,
