Hallucinations come in many different forms.

Some people who are beginning to go blind see very realistic, absurd things that are not actually there.

This is called “Charles Bonnet Syndrome.”

In one case, a woman was diagnosed with the eye condition glaucoma.

Her life was very normal, until a trip to a grocery store triggered her hallucinations.

The shelves would begin to drip, and turn into thick mud.

She could pull an item off the shelf, but this hallucination of mud was too thick to put anything back on the shelf once she picked it up.

These Charles Bonnet hallucinations can become so vivid that people can see animals or entire landscapes that do not actually exist.
