I would consider myself a sensible skeptic, in that I do not believe in the supernatural, but if I saw something that looked like a demonic possession or a hostile ghost or whatever I would immediately LEAVE.

Like, I can tell myself it was a hallucination AFTERWARDS. I'm not risking my shit on that 0.1% chance I'm wrong about demons.

I've consumed far too much horror media where the skeptic refuses to believe the evidence in front of them and ends up microwaved by a demonic head laser or whatever. Couldn't be me.
I think this is a characteristically Irish POV. Faeries aren't real. But also, you don't fuck with the faeries.

Well, the Little People are real and you can see them after you fix the limitations of your eyes with the correct medication...

So why not faeries as well?
'They saw them on their dishes when eating': The mushroom making people hallucinate dozens of tiny humans

Only recently described by science, the mysterious mushrooms are found in different parts of the world, but they give people the same exact visions.

@BLatro But did the researcher eat them??? I want to know if he saw the little people and if it says it in the article I missed it 😭

Fascinating read, thank you!

@astronomerritt
They were told at a restaurant "Don't eat it until the timer goes off or you might see little people." But they didn't explicitly say whether they ate it before the timer went off! They tested it on mice, but the mice didn't say what they saw.

This is the guy...

He seems very interested in "Artificial Swarm Intelligence".

Anyway, it'd need to be a double-blind experiment with people who'd never heard of the mushroom induced little people.
