During Taiwan’s Ghost Month, many report seeing apparitions, often attributed to spiritual sensitivity or possessing a “third eye.” However, medical professionals suggest these experiences may stem from physiological or psychological factors. Doctors explain that visual hallucinations can arise from eye conditions like floaters, migraines, or even retinal detachment. Neurological issues, including certain types of epilepsy or brain tumors, can also cause visual disturbances misinterpreted as paranormal activity. Stress and heightened anxiety during the culturally significant Ghost Month can exacerbate these pre-existing conditions or contribute to temporary hallucinations. Experts emphasize seeking medical evaluation rather than immediately attributing such experiences to the supernatural, particularly if the sightings are frequent or distressing. The goal is to rule out underlying health concerns and receive appropriate treatment.
