Insane Glitch

I've played through the SP campaign a few times and noticed a bizarre glitch where enemies and even some NPC's (Like LeRue) stand perfectly still and do not attack or move. That glitch has happened a few times now and frankly it's not a big deal.

The other day, however, I was playing in Trenton District and that glitch happened again. I made it all the way up to the part where you save Farrell, but I was forced to quit the game, because one crawler was stuck in the ceiling and I couldn't proceed.

The next day, I turned on the game and tried to continue the level. Everything was back to normal; no more glitch. Suddenly, I noticed a white message at the top left of the screen (where the objectives are usually written) that read "Lerue has been killed." I was confused because I could not think of a single moment in the game where LeRue can be killed, and there was no reason for that message to display at that moment.

Anyways, for some reason, I backtracked into the freezer where I cut Farrell loose. To my horror, the lunchlady was STANDING UP. She was completely frozen and did not move or speak, but otherwise, she was on her feet. I did whatever I could to get her moving, to no avail.

To this day I cannot not figure out what happened. Were the message and the lunchlady glitches related to each other? What the hell caused the lunchlady to stand up the way she did?

If anyone else has experienced a similar glitch, let me know.

I had the same thing happen to me on the first level, after walking through the area with those weird sack things that attack you. I opened up the medi-locker and took the pills, turned around to see two of the black monsters just standing perfectly still, staring at me. Needless to say bricks were $hat, but when i turned around after pulling away, they had gone. Very creepy moment, that whole first level is.

That's happened to me quite often actually. Sadly, my copy of the game is somewhat bugged. I think it's because the AI gets messed up and the NPC's don't know what to do. It can be quite annoying, especially when the frozen NPC's block your path (Like the Bum once did in the Doll Factory).

But I have to say, the Lunch lady thing was totally random and insane. I thought for sure I unlocked a never before seen secret (A very scary one at that)

I checked the glicth several times, and I've concluded that it happens 100% of the time if you die in the freezer and reload from the last checkpoint. Try it out if you get the chance.

I still haven't figured out the meaning of the message "LeRue has been killed"...Perhaps a scrapped sub-plot?
