Rare disorder causes man to see people's faces as 'demonic'

Hold on, so posters and wall art can start coming alive if you start tripping bad?

From what I understand it can change the path of your trip. This was in college so I had a lot of different posters that would seem innocent but my friends took some down just in case like Viva la vida, santogold, dmx, snoop dogg
It was overall an experience. I wouldn’t say amazing necessarily but nice to see what the mind can do. I saw my friend melted into the couch like bruh why you do that? Lol I wouldn’t try that stuff nowadays. Other than that and a night with x I was drug free through college. Occasional sip of alcohol.

My shoes looked like little pigs or dogs trying to suckle. I had them lined up in my closet. It was done at my apt because that was where they said I would feel comfortable.

The closest I've come to anything like this, is every now and then, when I'm in bed. It either happens after I close my eyes, but right before I start dosing off, or it would happen not long after I'd dosed off, but wake back up, then close my eyes again. Anyway, while my eyes are closed (while not fully sleep), I'd begin seeing the most demonic looking cartooinsh images that would come too mind. I would have to stay up awhile, then fall back to sleep later after my mind was clear. This don't happen alot. As a matter of fact, I can count on one hand how many times I've experience this...well, maybe two hands. I didn't know other people experienced this, until I read it one day.

What if he's seeing how we really look? And what the rest of us are seeing isn't real.

Article from 2012 They have found that when eletrically stimulating parts of the brain it can impact how a face is perceived. This condition is definitely related to damage or malfunctioning of that brain area.

Changing Faces: Stimulating the Brain Morphs People’s Faces Before Patient’s Eyes | TIME.com

Researchers find the region in the brain responsible for recognizing faces—and manipulate it for the first time

The new study provides the strongest evidence for the potential source of prosopagnosia’s confusing symptoms. The scientists found that the fusiform is specialized for recognizing faces and that stimulating it produces massive distortions in facial perception. Blackwell described seeing faces metamorphose into other faces when the electrodes were turned on. In one case, he said, “It’s like the shape of your face, your features, drooped.” But nothing else was affected. “Only your face changed,” he said, “Everything else was the same.”

That can happen without drugs. I was a child, and the Peanuts gang posters my mother put up started dancing in the middle of the night. I was 6 years old, and started to try to fight the ghosts. All I ended up doing was getting an ass beating for making noise.
