Have you ever experienced a shared hallucination?

People like to think that if more than one person saw it than it must have been real. I beg to differ. My mom was on the road with some friends in Texas. They were the only ones on the road and you could see at least a mile every way. Everything was barren. A semi truck appears from no where full speed toward them honking it’s horn. Just when it’s a few feet away all 3 friends close their eyes. When they open them a few seconds later the semi is gone. Nowhere in sight. I believe it was a shared hallucination. Has anyone here ever experienced something like that?

that sounds very odd! I have never heard of a shared hallucination but I suppose if it were to happen the group of people would have to be really lose just like friends who have the same thoughts at the same time frequently
I have been fucked up, a lot, on just about everything that is supposed to cause visions, hallucinations, and just plain deep insights and I have never seen or experienced something that isn’t there, shared or otherwise.
ain’t never seen nothin’ sober neither . . .
A friend and I shared an auditory ’‘hallucination’’. At her place, there was one of em doorbells that you install outside, with the speaker you install somewhere inside the house, wherever you want. It wasn’t installed yet, and we were fucking with it. I’d grab the speaker, run in the basement, and she rang the bell, and it would ring wherever I went with it. We switched back and forth doing this for a good half hour, until her foster mom was like, yall cut this shit out.
Anyways, we left, so she could walk me to the bus stop. We kept hearing the bell ringing, but it seemed very, very far away. At first we thought some other kids in the house were screwing with it as we were, but it got apparent that this was abnormal, when we were blocks away and we still kept hearing it; always far and distant. There was no way we’d hear it from that far away, if someone had indeed been messing with it.
Every time I heard it, she heard it, every time she heard it, so did I. It was creepy and fucked up. Every time we heard it, we were like, did you hear it?! What the hell, man?
On my own on the bus, I heard it a few times, but it eventually stopped. I was so freaked that I phoned her when I got home and we talked about it. I never figured out, to this day, what the hell this was about. May be sleep deprivation, we didn’t sleep much the night before the bell incident. But I don’t understand how we had the same hallucination, at the same time, constantly.
A Bermuda Triangle mystery, Texas style. Maybe it was that phantom truck driver 409 from country and western song fame. I don’t make light of it, there’s a whole spirit world that most will give no or little credence to.
Me & the wife could’ve sworn we saw our daughter tidy her room, apparently not.
