The Thing About Folie à Plusiers
Speaking of collective hallucinations, it’s worth noting that explanation isn’t totally impossible. De la Corte and his crew could’ve suffered from a shared psychotic disorder or folie à plusiers and ended up imagining the entire incident. This condition is usually observed in pairs of people but could also happen in groups.
However, the thing about folie à plusiers is that it happens only with people who are closely involved with a person who already suffers from a disorder. An example is when cult followers begin to share their leader’s delusions, according to WebMD. So, unless the Caracas airport was run like a cult, shared psychosis might not be the case here.
