The problem is that Bugs Bunny has NEVER been featured at that park so the "memory" they describe is a false one generated by the leading question.

Quote:Even impossible memories can be fabricated from suggestions, researchers reported at the AAAS annual meeting last week. And such memories can create physiological responses that are indistinguishable from those elicited by remembering real trauma.
Quote:So Loftus implanted a clearly impossible memory: a person in a Bugs Bunny outfit shaking hands and hugging children at Disneyland. "Bugs is a Warner Brothers character. He wouldn't be allowed on Disney premises," Loftus says. Her team recruited volunteers who had been to Disneyland earlier in their lives. They were shown an advertisement for Disneyland with pictures of Bugs and text describing a trip to Disneyland that included meeting the wascally wabbit. Weeks later, 36% of the volunteers who had seen the ads vividly recalled that they had seen Bugs Bunny in real life: They shook his hand or even hugged him, they reported.
Children are more impressionable so any parent that has a child that talks about past lives is guilty of implanting the idea through the use of leading questions.

Actually the inverse happened to me.
I saw Mickey Mouse going into the women's bathroom of Six Flags (Warner Brothers Theme Park)
I didn't shake his hand or anything, but that was confusing as shit.
