The human mind is a most complex system where rational and irrational thinking are mixed up as are also reality and phantasy thoughts.
When we speak of seeing something, we generally understand the reflexion in our mind of a real object existing outside of our brain.
This is the common sense of the notion of seeing.
But it happens to a lot of people that when they think intense about a certain object then by force of their brain it "materializes" before their very eyes.
We call it sometimes to dream with open eyes.
We live in an era where rational thinking ,mostly promoted through education ,prevail ,which is far away from the situation existing in ancient ,and even not so ancient times.
In times when spiritual events where spread between people by means of oral tales,perpetuated through generations from father to son,the fantasy ,the supranatural, the irrational had a more powerfull influence on the minds then the close poor and not understandable reality.
That's the explanation why "miracles " of all religions happened most in the past and are rare,bur not totaly extinct even in our times.
I visited once Fatima and saw a women walking bent on four with a little child on her back and her husband holding the child so it wouldn't fall down ,advancing the 200 meters up the the icon of Maria.
It struck me by the thought of the child beeing perhaps deadly ill and the hope of the mother that by humiliating and torturing herself Jesus will help her.
It is only an example of how desperation might create intense thoughts in expectation of a miracle.
Now what concerns[/font] phenomenon of synchronized "miracles", the causes are so diversified that only from hearing of such an event as expressed in one sentence or told by "serious"
or "objective" people we coud hardly draw a conclusion of any kind.
