Does anyone have any evidence that mass hysteria can produce a vivid hallucination shared among multiple otherwise-sane people?
Probably not vivid hallucinations — I’d doubt that mass hysteria could cause people to actually feel as though they are vividly experiencing the thing in question — but vivid false memories, some time after the fact, are much more plausible (and are well-known to be possible, if I remember correctly).
