* There's the [[Real Life]](?) story of a lighthouse where one of the keepers went mad and killed the others.
** There was another story of a lighthouse where one of the keepers went mad and ''almost'' killed the other keeper but he had to tie him up, keep all the sharp weapons away from him and deal with his insane ramblings until the next keepers arrived with supplies a couple days later.
* Has been debunked as a theory for the [[wikipedia:Dyatlov Pass incident|Dyatlov Pass Incident]].
* People may often joke about this when forced to remain together in close quarters for long periods of time.
** Much of the world went into self-isolation in early 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Not counting the people who worked at essential jobs, by the time the self-isolation process had lasted six weeks, some people were eager to stop the isolation process even though doing so would still put their lives at risk.
* Likely the origin of the [[Space Madness]] trope. In the 1950's experiments were held to test the affects of working alone in a cramped, low-oxygen environment. This lead to hallucinations and other signs of mental stress. As no-one had gone up into space yet this wasn't encouraging.
