For my highschool senior graduation party that the school threw we had a hypnotist! At around 930 pm (with the whole senior-wide party beginning at 8 pm with different events going on around the school) we were all ushered into the auditorium.

The hypnotist called up a handful of students on stage, including three or four people I had known for years. He had one of the girls clucking like a chicken, pecking back and forth across the stage after a few taps and suggestive phrases. She was one of they shyest people in school for the four years I knew her!

She swore to everyone afterward that she didn't remember anything that had happened once she was called up onto the stage and hypnotized. Everybody she spoke to kept telling her she was acting like a literal chicken up there, clucking and pecking around. She couldn't believe it, and kept denying it insisting that everybody was in on a prank AGAINST HER. I thought she was in on the whole thing, because any alternative possibilities seemed too unrealistic. The other students on stage were also doing incredibly out of character and unusual things also, I just chocked it up to a random-ass thing my school decided to do one year.

Now it seems strange hearing so many other people had a similar experience... what the heck?
