Anyone interested in collective hallucination?

Question

Have you any examples you'd like to share?
Collective hallucination means the belief produces the hallucination and the hallucination confirms the belief. Its an interesting subject. The above fits in with moving statues and paintings.

Answer 1

That sounds like what we call mass hallucination. UFO's are the best example I know of. One person claims to see one and everybody in the state sees one.

Answer 2

I think that this is overkill. You might say that the audience of a skilled magician experiences "collective hallucination'. But that only means that many people experience the same thing at the same time. The act is just hallucinating, and each audience member is merely hallucinated.
