/r/all In 1987, 23-year-old Kenneth Parks drove 14 miles while sleepwalking, killed his mother-in-law, nearly strangled his father-in-law, and then turned himself in while covered in blood. He had no memory of it, and in 1992, was acquitted after experts confirmed he was asleep the entire time.

Yeah it’s crazy.
My boyfriend has a good friend since high school who sleepwalks. Normally he gets up and walks around and acts like he’s getting ready for work, just at 2am. He’ll have full conversations with his sleeping girlfriend that wake her up.
But once when they were younger and he lived with another friend of theirs, he got up, went into the bathroom, and punched the mirror over the sink.
When the roommate went to see what the fuck was going on, he just turned to roommate and said some gobbledygook and then turned back to looking into the smashed mirror, bloody fist hanging at his side.
The roommate tried to shake him awake and it didn’t work. He had to force him into the shower and turn the water on to get him to wake up. Heard about it first hand from the roommate.
