Why do you think the burden of proof exists at all to explain anything that is outside the realm of observation and/or experiment? Besides, there are literally thousands of controlled psychological experiments that offer purely naturalistic explanations for hallucinations, both individual and collective experiences.
" Why do you think the burden of proof exists at all to explain anything that is outside the realm of observation and/or experiment? "
Because it is interesting and we don't even understand collective hallucinations that well , the miracle of the sun for example is an laughable example because " "not only did all those present not see the phenomenon, but also there are considerable inconsistencies among witnesses as to what they did see " , so that is not the same as the whole family seeing their dead grandmother for months in their apartment and they all agree down to the details , or two people seeing a young boy go though a wall and they even agree on the details of the child's old fashioned clothes and many similar examples , i hate being the one who seems to be pushing the supernatural explanation because honestly i am not , i am just saying that to pretend that we have a clear answer is dishonest.
