Three reasons why people are hallucinating about demons

Ghost sighting can be caused by hearing when told, due to electromagnetism and lower sound waves or hallucinations when exposed to toxins.

About 38% of the world's people believe in the existence of demons and said they have seen ghosts, according to the International Business Times. The word "ghost" is often used to refer to a human soul or a dead object and the "haunted" concept may include the feeling of an existence, seeing moving objects or moving souls. Neil Dagnall, associate professor of Applied Cognitive Psychology at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK, offers the three most common explanations of the cause of human sightings.

Listening to a place with ghosts makes it easier for a person to see ghosts at that location. According to Dagnall, in a study, volunteers visited five main areas in a theater before filling out a quiz to assess their emotions and perceptions. Before the tour, a group of volunteers were told the theater was haunted, while the other group was told the theater was in the process of being upgraded. As a result, the first group of volunteers reported more stressful experiences.

The impact of listening is also different depending on people's beliefs. Those who believe in the existence of demons are more vulnerable than skeptics.

Electromagnetic fields and sounds cause fear

Another explanation for ghost sighting is the impact of environmental factors such as electromagnetic fields and sound dampening . Canadian neurologist Michael Persinger demonstrates that using different levels of electromagnetic fields in the temporal lobe of the brain can create a haunting experience such as seeing ghosts or a feeling of being touched.

Similarly, the negative, the negative frequency is below the threshold of human hearing, also helps explain ghost sighting. Some studies find a connection between sound waves and strange sensations. In one study, scientists broadcast the sound down during a musical performance and the audience was then asked to describe the reaction when listening to music. Many people report feeling chill, anxiety, fear, discomfort or sadness at the time of the sounding broadcast.

Illusion due to poison

Awareness of the existence of superhuman forces also arises from reactions to toxins such as carbon monocide, formaldehyde and pesticides. Shane Rogers and colleagues at Clarkson University, USA, observed many similarities between the mystical experience and hallucinations caused by fungal spores. This may explain why ghost arrests often occur in old, moldy buildings with low ventilation.
