The flying house story iseems to be a case of errors creeping into a narrative and staying because they are easy to remember; no one ever actually saw it, IMHO. IIRC, in the flying house scenario; the family responsible for moving the materials and rebuilding the house was named Angelo; and the story turned into 'the house was moved by angels'. Fatima was more like an optical illusion than mass hallucination; if you stare at the sun too long it will seem to move around due to involuntary eye movements; a reflex evolved to protect our vision fro stupidity, I reckon.
I'm not so sure mass hallucinations are really possible; but the stories are uncredible and have plausible alternative explanations besides mass hallucination.

I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
