I am considering everything , i just don't see how documented behavior in religious cults can explain a mother and her kid hallucinating the same person at the same time , i guess religious cults lie so a mother and the kid could be lying ( that is a far more logical explanation than ghosts ).
A mass delusion in a cult is not the the same phenomena, even on it's surface, as a story between a mother and a son. Thus the unresolvable dilemma, but only for you.
Even though there are many explanations for any of these behaviors, none of them explain all of these behaviors alone...and therefore none are "satisfactory". The fun trick is that no explanation, even "literal ghosts" could be satisfactory under those conditions.
A person would have to make up some complete and utter bullshit, even on it's own terms, in order to satisfy the sense of explanatory power you insist upon. As, even though no one explanation could possibly account for so much disparate x, that's what would need to be asserted...for you to feel that any assertion was satisfactory.
