Two students who say they had their drinks spiked during freshers week have expressed their shock at how many people have responded to their stories saying it happened to them too.
Third year Glasgow Caledonian student Alix Taylor hallucinated, stripped naked, and fell head-first from the first floor of her bedroom window after a night out, fracturing her skull. She has no recollection of the terrifying incident.
She was joined on This Morning by Emily 'Mimi' Walter, 19, who fears she had her own drink spiked while at a nightclub in Falmouth, Cornwall. After going missing, she was eventually found unconscious on the floor of a bathroom and ended up in intensive care at hospital.
Two students who say they had their drinks spiked during the first weeks of the new university term appeared on This Morning today. Alix Taylor, left, a third-year student at Glasgow Caledonian University, ended up fracturing her skull after a terrifying hallucination she believed was caused by a unknown drug.

The young women appeared on the daytime television show in a bid to persuade others to report similar crimes (Pictured from left, Alix Taylor, Ellie Taylor, Emily Walter)

Her sister Ellie shared photos of Alix to Facebook, where they say many they've had lots of responses from people saying they'd experienced drink spiking too
A concerned Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield quiz the young women about when they thought they had their drinks spiked; both Alix, far left, and Emily, far right, say they couldn't remember a moment when someone might have laced their drinks
Both women have no idea of when their drinks may have been spiked and appeared on the show to raise awareness of the crime as students all over the country enjoy their first few weeks of the new university term.
Mimi, who says she was 'paralysed' while in the grip of the incident, told the presenting duo she's been overwhelmed by responses from people who say they've had similar experiences.
She said: 'There have been so many people who have messaged me, saying "This is my story."'
'Girls being sexually assaulted, boys being mugged and the police haven't done anything about it.'
After Alix's sister Ellie posted the ordeal on social media, along with a series of images of herself being wheeled into hospital with blood pouring from her ears, thousands of people have responded.
Emily, originally from Malmesbury in Wiltshire, (pictured on This Morning today) was rushed to the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro where she was put on the intensive care unit
On Facebook, Amanda Corp wrote: 'My daughters drink was spiked recently in Malia - luckily her friends were with her and sought help straight away, all women should be aware.'
A Facebook user called Jimmy Docherty followed up with: 'It's not just daughters, sons às well. My son got is drink spiked a few years back. They must think it funny to see somebody out of control.'
Appearing on the daytime television show, Alix and her sister Ellie, revealed how they pieced together what had happened from third person encounters.
The International Fashion Branding student said: 'I remember going to the club, dancing, having a few drinks with friends. Towards the end, I remember some guy being creepy, he made me freak out, he was holding me and I remember the resistance.
Alix revealed how the passers-by who heard her head crack on the pavement told her they'll never forget the awful sound
Alix and sister Ellie hope that by sharing Alix's story, they'll make other people more cautious on nights out
After going 'crying to staff', she said the man 'backed off' and she left the club but has no recollection of getting home or the events that followed.
Sister Ellie added that her sister became hysterical and was spotted by passers-by balancing on her windowsill in a 'terrified' state.
She continued: 'The passers-by assumed it was a sex attack she was trying to escape from, and rang emergency services while trying to climb up to help her.
'Unfortunately, whatever was inside was too much and Alix either jumped or fell from the window and landed head first on the concrete, fracturing her skull and causing major bleeding inside her head- blood was coming out her ears.
'The passers-by say they will never forget the sound her head made when she hit.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
