I see dead people

Scott Walker August 3, 2014

"I see dead people," he told me. I asked, "You mean right now?" He said, "Everywhere." It was almost as if I were watching that movie from 1999 called The Sixth Sense. He told me that he has lot's of mental issues that include multiple personalities and schizophrenia. He then told me that he is an artist and he designed the tattoo you see in this photo. The subject changed rapidly. 

Upon diving into deeper conversation, I learned more about the root of some of the issues he deals with, which gave me a better understanding as to why. He talked about his mother committing suicide when he was much younger and his father leaving. He talked about his past drug use, domestic violence arrest and more. The conversation could have easily lasted for hours. You never really know someone until you try to understand them.
