In 2011, three student's from the North Port High School in Florida, died in separate incidents over the space of 9 weeks.

Marcus Freeman, Wesley McKinley and Brittany Palumbo were all bright, young and loved students, who loss impacted the whole community.

As well as being students at the same school, they also had another thing in common: they'd all been hypnotised by their school principle, George Kenney.

Investigators had a complex case in front of them - did the hypnosis they receive have anything to do with their deaths?

This is REAL.
