Mere Phantoms
Mere Phantoms are psychological phenomena where individuals experience vivid, often unsettling sensory perceptions—such as seeing or hearing things that aren’t actually there. These experiences are usually linked to mental health conditions like schizophrenia or severe stress, rather than physical causes. Essentially, the mind creates these false sensations or images, making someone believe in ghosts or apparitions that don't exist externally. Understanding Mere Phantoms involves recognizing the interplay between perception, cognition, and emotional state, emphasizing that these experiences are rooted in the brain's functioning rather than external supernatural forces.
