Three students died after being hypnotized by a high school principal, Dr. George Kenny has hypnotized over 75 people including staff and students. He would hypnotize students to stay focused with their school work. When a person is hypnotized they are conditioned by the person who is putting them in a hypnotic state, which can be dangerous. Three students died after they were hypnotized by Kenny, one in a car accident and two from suicide. He was warned by the school board 3x and he still continued. He is no longer at that school and he was reassigned to an administrator position.
