I have googled info about the pineal gland (centre of the brain) and lo and behold -

Some of his beliefs were wild by even my standards , so for Gordon to quote him is rather ironic.  |
I'm not doubting what you've seen. Merely sharing my own, sometimes very strange experiences.
I've mentioned before, I was telling my acupuncturist about one hallucination, which I described in great detail.
It turns out, like my hallucination, her grandad was deaf, and a bad tempered man, who often shouted, and who after stopping being the landlord of the Tinker and Budget, lived in my house!
She went off to find a photograph of him, so I could see if it bore any resemblence to the man I'd seen, shouting in my front room, by the window. Which apparently where her grandad's chair had stood.
Thankfully it didn't.
If it had been, I might not have been so skeptical.
