In the early 1960s, Dr. Ellicott had this theory. He thought if he could get his patients to vent their anger, they'd be cured, but it only made them worse and worse and angrier and angrier. He performed horrible experiments on his patients, mostly in a secret room at the Asylum in the basement. Then in 1964 the patients rioted. Many of the patients died, but they dragged Dr. Ellicott down to his secret room to kill him. They stuffed his body in the cabinet.
His work unfinished, Dr. Ellicott's spirit lingered, continuing his experiments on anyone foolish enough to enter the abandoned asylum. He would cause a person's anger at whoever had wronged them to become the controlling force in that person. Many people died over the years, until two young men entered the asylum to investigate. Dr. Ellicott pulled the younger man's anger at his brother and father to the forefront, causing the young man to fight with and shoot his brother in the chest. The brother managed to survive the gunshot and salted and burned Dr. Ellicott's remains where they had been hidden.
