An spectator heard a 20-year-old lady yelling some unsettling phrases as she tore out her own eyeballs while under the influence of drugs.
On February 6, 2018, Kaylee Muthart of Anderson, South Carolina, started attacking her own eyes with her bare hands while high on crystal meth, “a larger dose than [she’d] ever used before.”
Prior to dabbling with meth, the 20-year-old had been using cannabis for recreational purposes since she was 18 years old.
Still high from the previous day’s hit, she started having hallucinations on the morning of February 6 as she went along a train track in the direction of a church.
In a Cosmopolitan story, Kaylee described how everything appeared “dark and gloomy” until she was taken aback by the realization that she needed to “sacrifice something important to right the world.”
“I believed that if I didn’t cry out right away, everything would end suddenly and that everyone would perish. “I’m not sure how I arrived at that conclusion, but I felt that it was the right thing to do right away,” she said.
Kaylee remembered praying and asking, “Why me?,” while attempting to fight the emotion. “Why must I do this?”
Only when a man she had been staying with drove past and yelled, “I locked up the house,” did she feel the impulse more intensely. Are you in possession of the other key?
The’sign’ that Kaylee’s sacrifice was the ‘key’ to rescuing the world was this.
Then she remembered inserting her fingers into her eyes and tugging till they protruded from their socket.
It was the most difficult thing I have ever had to do, and it seemed like a huge battle. I don’t know if there was blood because I couldn’t see anymore,” she remembered.
A clergyman in the vicinity heard Kaylee yelling as she went on.
She was screaming, “I want to see the light!” as she clawed out her eyeballs, going blind.
Kaylee was already clutching her eyeballs in her fists when the pastor finally managed to restrain her.
Following her restraint, Kaylee was taken to the hospital, where emergency surgery was conducted to remove her remaining eyes. Two days later, she awoke blind but certain that everything would be “okay.”
In her post, Kaylee reflected on the experience and stated that although she had to adjust to life without her sight, she is “happier now” than she was before losing it.
“It took losing my sight to get me back on the right path, but from the bottom of my heart, I’m so glad I’m here,” she stated.
