Is subjectivity just a matter of context?

"Infrasound and magnetic fields cause some brains to produce the feeling of disembodied presences." This seems to be objectively true going by research so far.

So, we could say that "Feeling disembodied presences is an objectively real phenomenon."

If you think a magnetic field counts as a "disembodied presence", then I guess you could say that.

The experience was real. The statement of having that experience is a true statement when you're the one making it.
