Shared Delusions

[Eilonnwy]

People can experience shared hallucinations, especially if our culture is primed to do so. Multiple people can see Jesus in doors because a phenomenon of pareidolia. Also, in a world that largely believes in Ghosts and spirits, people can see a strange occurrence that is unexplained and claim it's a ghost.

I recently watched a fluff news piece on TV and it was about a security camera catching so white fuzzy "aura" wandering around a room. Of course they had the token "I was a skeptic, but now I believe" when in reality the most logical conclusion is that it was a speck of dust.
