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.
Because they were bloody stupid and never had this happened to them and were not able to tell the difference?
@@Veellinn Yeah, pretty much.
"Temporarily"
Oh, so that's why.
Can confirm, used to do this a LOT as a child
Mass hysteria is such an interesting concept, that a bunch of people can start doing something uncontrollably because someone just decided to meow, laugh, or dance on the streets
Well it isnt a concept cuz its happened and is real
@@Genericmug i am pretty sure it being a concept doesn't make it fictional, like how death is a concept but is real

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.
Or in class presentations. Bro if the person next to me smile, i'll laugh, she'll laugh, everybody will laugh. It's hard to stop
Happened to me one. Some girl next to me was just giglging for no reason for like 15 minutes straight.
This video singlehandedly inspired me to deliver a speech on mass hysteria in my college speech class. Naturally it received a perfect score
Oh my gosh I just did that exact thing for my high school speech class like a week ago

Like a plastic bag in the wind…
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.
Bro. wtf
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

I remember when I was in school I heard a story from a sister school where basically they were having an assembly, and one kid threw up in front of the whole school, then another kid did, then another, until nearly 70 kids and teachers were vomiting. No one was actually ill except the first kid and the rest were just freaking out thinking they caught something
Imagining sad, scared, and vomiting children is so pitiful! I'm not really sure why, maybe because it's so ridiculous, but it sure is funny!
“Man, mass psychogenic illness looks fricken epic.”
I grew up in Portugal, and that story is taught as a miracle in school. Its celebrated annually.
Yeah, I'm polish and this is an annually celebrated miracle. I'm sure Sam didn't know this, but this probably made people mad.
Also here in Mexico
So much so that my local church is named after Fatima
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.
Brendan Smith no one cares
OoeyGooey ChunkyChewy I go to a catholic school and one of our subjects is R.E (religious education) and we learnt about this recently. I ended up just telling my teacher that it could’ve been a case of Mass Hysteria. She got mad at me. She gets mad at me a lot.

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.

The eyes also messed with me
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.
but it was midday, and supposedly cloudy. Notably, accounts were almost unanimously agreed upon afterwards, even an anti-catholic newpaper.
Either I've been reading too much creepy shit, or the first sentence you wrote sounds like it could be the beginning of some creepypasta
@@StardustCorvid like some reddit creepypasta shit where the character witnesses another person getting dismembered and the killer running after them, only to trip over and get caught by the police
@@elf-lordsfriarofthemeadowl2039
Fun fact: The sun was shining in a lot of other places that day, and in those other places nobody saw it move or anything. Only the delusional fools who showed up in Fatima to stare directly into the sun all day just because a couple of bored kids pulled a prank said they saw something.

That laughing thing is real. When I was 20 my beloved grandmother died. At her funeral my cousin and I laughed uncontrollably. It went on for about 90 minutes and when it finally stopped we were in pain from the convulsions. To this day no one knows why we reacted that way to losing a grandmother we both adored.
im sorry for that, it probably wasn't pleasant.
lol
Bro that's just a way people Coe with stress, many people do it's a common fact.
@@crippledcow2235 i can tell that it is normal, in fact i do it all the time, but the fact that most popular media never shows this at all, as well as the fact that you normally dont think of people laughing hysterically when you think of funerals, it can be weird when you walk into one and thats exactly what you see. its a normal response, but society just isn't used to it i guess :/
should be clarified: i laugh when stressed, not when someone dies: i have anxiety, i dont live in a slaughterhouse.

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.
Check out the book "The Devils of Loudun" by Aldous Huxley or the film "The Devils" by Ken Russell.
they sound cool
imagine being some French peasant trying to get some food from the church and you see some nuns scissoring

@@squirrels24seven dumbass
Xavier Ohara My guy, everyone who witnessed the event was there to stare at the sun. They had all shown up specifically for the reason of looking for a Sun Miracle. 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.
Xavier Ohara Mass Hysteria is a proven medical event that happens similarly to how placebos work: the human mind wills it to be so, and therefore to that person it is. Mass Hysteria is this on a large scale. It’s not magic, it’s science.
bro really showing Caribbean clips love it from Jamaica
I used to have panic attacks that were more or less uncontrollable, unending laughter. it's only happened maybe three times, but they're so much more frightening than the "average" attack -- both for me and for my partner.
