Phantom Objects

For those stricken with Charles Bonnet Syndrome, the world is occasionally adorned with vivid yet unreal images. Some see surfaces covered in non-existent patterns such as brickwork or tiles, while others see phantom objects in astonishing detail, including people, animals, buildings, or whatever else their minds may conjure. These images linger for as little as several seconds or for as much as several hours, appearing and vanishing abruptly. They may consist of commonplace items such as bottles or hats, or brain-bending nonsense such as dancing children with giant flowers for heads.

I came upon this article, and looked it up on wikipedia for a little more background on the perpetual acid trip. I've provided it alongside the Damn Interesting article for additional surrealism. I wonder what sort of storytellers these patients must be.
