I didn't say anything about a magnetic field counting as a disembodied presence.

Quote:"Infrasound and magnetic fields cause some brains to produce the feeling of disembodied presences."

Eating magic mushrooms causes brains to produce hallucinations but the mushrooms themselves aren't hallucinations.

I would use the wording "feel as if there is a disembodied presence". The phrase "feeling a disembodied presence" seems to suggest that they really are detecting a disembodied presence.
