If it were just glitches of a person's mind, how could five people experience different phenomena at different times, even when one of those people hadn't been made aware that the other people were having experiences? Because that's what happened in my house this last winter. It wasn't one person. It was five people. And one of those people didn't even know it was happening to the rest of us until I told them, then they came forward with the things they had seen and heard as well. Also, brain glitches don't cause physical things to pick themselves up off the floor and hurl themselves through the air in front of three people. Whatever these things are, they're definitely not a product of the brain. Unless, of course, you believe in telekinesis. But in our case, there was visual sightings as well. That and auditory communication. |
The problem with memory is, it's a reconstructive process that alters the memory based on either new information or simply by re-activating the memory. Human memory is not constant and is easily influenced by other people. Perception is the same, an interpretive process that gets edited as if it was like that when it happened. That's how dreams work where something starts happening in a dream and you wake up by the sound it makes, which happens to be a real life sound. You didn't predict the sound, when the brain registered the sound it started making up an explanation for it. Since you were still in a dream state it sort of projects the 'story' into past memory as if you knew of the sound before it happened.
Simply the act of sharing information, contaminates the event. Now if that person had written down their experience when it happened before hearing about what happened to the others, it would be a bit more credible. Yet providing an 'explanation' sends the brain at work to agree with what the others experienced.
Did anyone think to record the event?
I can't rule it out that things didn't happen as you say, but the brain is just notoriously unreliable and very easy to alter events after the affect while it seems that's what happened at the time.
