Why groups of people can remember something that didn't happen

Why groups of people can remember something that didn't happen
Quote:"It's not inconceivable that this sort of thing can happen in a group setting," says Wade. "There are many studies showing that when two people witness the same event and discuss it, one person’s memory report can contaminate what the other person subsequently claims to remember. This is called 'memory conformity' in the literature, and it's a very powerful and well-documented effect."

This is just one reason to doubt miracle stories.
