Debunk Paranormal

Hallucinations, what are they and how are they caused?

First let me say anyone can have these, your not crazy, and you don’t have to have a mental disorder

A hallucination is the brain's electrical system shorting out an one area. This means that the person having a hallucination is experiencing an event through one of their senses that is not occurring in the real world. This is where voices are hear with an auditory hallucination, listening to lots of music before bed can cause this type of hallucination. A short circuit can have us hearing our own thoughts but will seem to come from the outside.  A mild form of hallucination is known as a disturbance, and can occur in any of the senses above. These may be things like seeing movement in peripheral  vision, or hearing faint noises and/or voices.

Who can have hallucinations? Anyone can have them if exposed to chemical or electrical or even auditory pollution. Though they are more prevalent in those with schizophrenia or bi-polar diagnosis’s. Hypnagogic hallucinations and hypnopompic hallucinations are considered normal . Hypnagogic hallucinations can occur as one is falling asleep and hypnopompic hallucinations occur when one is waking up. Now these can seem real and the person may believe they really happened. Anyone who has experienced sleep paralysis understands how real they can be.

Now lets look at visual hallucinations, who can have them? Anyone can experience these, once again its when our brain signals get crossed. These are when you see something that isn’t there, a ghost, a shadow man, once again our brains cause this by filling in missing information so a tiny misfire in the brain can cause us to see things that aren’t there. The people who experience these more may have a psychotic disorder to dementia to migraines, but they don’t have to have anything.

Tactile hallucinations are when we feel like we are touched, someone crawling on you, an animal jumping on you, even bugs crawling on you. Now this type of hallucination is usually associated with drug use but doesn’t have to be.

Peduncular hallucinosis usually happens in the evening and your fully awake. These are caused when we have a short circuit near the brain stem.

Now there are many other types of hallucinations I haven’t touched on as I am looking at it more for a paranormal perspective.

Now we have touched on one more possible cause of paranormal. This one is the most complex because its coming from within.
