what exactly is an “out of body” experience? Is it really possible? If yes, what causes it?
In: Biology
People can hallucinate for many different reasons. Most of the time it is some sort of disease or something they ate.
I’ll give you an example. A group of people 2000 years ago eat some mushrooms. Unbeknownst to them they happen to be the type of mushrooms that make you trip. Two of them have “out of body experiences”. These experiences are very real for them. They talk to each other and decide that they both flew out of their bodies. They then go around and tell everyone. One of them happens to be very eloquent and charming. He is very convincing when he tells his story. Now people believe that they actually had an out of body experience.
Edit: Often people just make that shit up and straight up lie about it. Also if you’ve ever played the telephone game you’d know that a story can change dramatically as it is told over and over again by different people.
