    About the sun one: As a child I remember looking at the sun for too long and when I started looking around I kept seeing it in greens and pinks, probably where it temporarily burned my retina. So yeah, they probably looked at the sun for too long and started seeing the afterimage in different colours flying around the actual sun.

    I remember this one time in high school where one of my classmates started giggling for no discernible reason. There was nothing that could've gotten her laughing, but next thing you know I started giggling for no reason, and then pretty soon everyone in our table were giggling as well. It thankfully stopped after about 20 minutes or so when the concerned teacher asked us what was going on, we burst out into laughter, and it fizzled out shortly after.
    They say laughter is contagious, but I realized they meant it literally.

    there was this particular case of mass hysteria in delhi (where i live) back in 2001, several people reported waking up with scratches and bite marks all over them and the news quickly spread and people came to a conclusion that there was a literal monkey man with wolverine claws, a black helmet, and a hi-tech suit which gave him super powers or something and also made him invisible. cases started increasing rapidly with people killing innocent bystanders mistaking them for the monkey man, cops were deployed to patrol the city at night and hundreds of people were calling the police reporting incidents of having seen the monkey man (most of them fake). this lasted for over a month.

      That reminds me of the "mad gasser" (hysterical but very real name of this incident) in a small town in the US in the 40s or 50s some people claimed some guy blocked their front door and put a hose in their window and pumped gas that made them like pass out or feel sick. It was a really crazy story but then other people started believing it and they started believing that they had been gassed and were sick as well. So people started attacking anyone they thought who might have been the mad gasser (none of them were one guy was a postal worker and I think another was a teenager sneaking into his girlfriends house but a neighbor saw him assumed the worst and he got beat up). Even today we're not sure if there even WAS a mad Gasser or if it was just all in people's heads. The mad Gasser, if he did exist, never actually hurt anyone and just made some people feel dizzy and nauseous so...... Idk what everyone was so worked up about lmao

    Actually, the vision at Fatima was a real thing, that’s why one of the titles for the Virgin Mary is Our Lady of Fatima. The three children were actually threatened to the point that people said they would boil them alive in oil if they didn’t admit they were lying. They maintained that Mary had spoken to them, and remember, these are small children, and no small child would maintain a lie to the point of death. They were never really boiled alive, people were just looking for a false confession, but the kids had no way of knowing this.

      Nice. Fatima was real. Sister Lucia knew about the Immaculate Conception in a time where this wasn’t accepted or widely known. But the Vatican definitely lied about the 3rd secret. John XXIII should have revealed it in 1960, but he knew it would contradict Vatican II, so he hid it like the shrimp he is.

It is much more likely that a bunch of easily influenced people experienced Mass Hysteria, than that the Sun zoomed around the sky and changed colors, yet was only seen by observers at this event, and not by any post-World War 1 scientific observational posts.

    As a pilot, there are some visual illusions that we are taught. One of them is called Autokinesis, which occurs when you stare at a light with no reference points near it (this usually occurs at night, when there’s a single light such as another plane and you can’t see the clouds/ground around it). Your eyes start to move around/vibrate to try and discern how far away the light is, but all that does is make the light *appear* to move. This may have been what happened to a lot of those people in Portugal with the sun-staring, and can explain why the accounts vary.

    The nuns did a lot more than just "meow". There were all kinds of outrageous behaviours and sexual exhibitionism that lead to horrendous attempts at "exorcisms", accusations of "satanic" priests, torture and executions. It's a classic case of mass hysteria that occurred in the French town of Loudun in 1634.
