Edward Funsch (played by William Sanderson) is a member of the community of Franklin, Pennsylvania with a fear of blood. His fear, along with those of others in town, were exacerbated due to spraying of a pesticide containing LSDM, evoking enough of a fear response in them to drive them to kill. Edward sees messages on all kinds of electronic displays telling him to kill. He eventually buys a gun and decides to act on his paranoia, positioning himself at the top of a clock tower overlooking a blood drive and shooting randomly. He is eventually overpowered by Mulder and taken away on a stretcher, presumably to a hospital. (TXF: "Blood")
