Calling them entirely made up and entirely limited to individual brains and not real is pretty much the opposite of what I'm contending, lol.
Just to clarify that stance. You all believe that a brain experience, shared by multiple people, with no evidence of anything tangible found, is entirely made up in the individual brain and is not real.
We really do see things..together..that really aren't there..and we also really do fail to see things..together..that really are.
To use Boru's brilliant example..from earlier..why do we suppose that the OP thinks this was a demon..instead of a leprechaun? More broadly, why do we commonly interpret shadow and anomaly..as shadowy..anomalous people?
-just to add another wrinkle, in the case of my experience, we physically saw nothing, that's what made it anomalous. It was an auditory trigger..but that auditory trigger had us literally seeing things that we couldn't confirm.
(it was likely prop wash, btw, in the brush - if it wasn't plain nervous hysteria, lol)
