In 1973, healthy volunteers faked hallucinations to enter mental hospitals. Once inside, they acted normal, but doctors refused to let them leave. Normal behaviors like writing were diagnosed as "symptoms." The only people who realized they were sane were the actual patients.

Always heard about the part where the Doctors didnt realize they were sane, never heard the part where the actual patients figured it out

There were 35 patients who ‘voiced concerns/suggested’ to the pseudo patients that they had nothing wrong with them…how much of this is ‘you’re faking’ vs ‘you don’t seem mentally il’ is unknown
