Hello Cubicgate,

Shouldn't it be "all spriritual" rather than "all mental"?

Or appear as we think they should look....

Cartoon characters and such would be much more likely to be dismissed as a hallucination. If someone spent 10 hours watching every episode of their favourite cartoon, and later thought they might have seen a character duck behind the fridge, most people would immediately dismiss it as a hallucination and admonish themselves for their cartoon marathon.

If someone saw a human form instead, and they already believed in ghosts, they would be far more likely to consider it a ghost than a hallucination.

The human brain is "hard wired" with a certain innate ability to perceive patterns related to face recognition and interpretation of body language. Our brains spend a lot of time recognising and interpreting the body language of the human animal, it is no wonder that there are more images of the human form in our subconscious than cartoons!
