Hallucinations Afflict Even the Best of Minds in City
A Mercury report records multiple cases where sane, healthy individuals suffered vivid hallucinations. Examples include a professional man fearing hydrophobia after warm seasons, a dancer seeing masked people, a lawyer haunted by a skeletal usher, and a wealthy woman with a crocodile in her stomach. Doctors note such experiences can occur in capable, normal people and do not always indicate insanity.
