Ted (Sam, Interrupted)

Ted was an in-patient at Glenwood Springs Psychiatric Hospital who died there after Sam and Dean were admitted.

History
Ted had watched helplessly from across the hall as fellow patient Susan Fletcher pounded on her locked door screaming for help. One of the the nurses who had ignored her screams later found her dead, with both wrists slashed.

Sam and Martin Creaser were assigned to the same group therapy session as Ted. When Dr. Fuller asked who would like to start the meeting off, Ted very eagerly raised his hand and reported that he saw when Susan died and that “the monster” was hunting them all. Dr. Fuller tried to avoid letting him talk, telling him that having that discussion again was not good for group. Ted retorted that a monster eating all their faces off would not be good for group, either. The doctor threatened to call the orderlies if he did not "behave," so he complied.

Sam and Dean waited until lights out to try talk to Ted about what he’d seen, but on the way to his room they heard him start screaming. They saw his feet kicking against the door but didn’t make into the room until he was hanging from the ceiling. In the morgue, Sam did an impromptu autopsy and discovered that Ted’s brain had been sucked dry.
