Look out coffelovers, we might have hallucinations.......

[b][i]Hi, I seriously don't have any idea, am not biology student even! I don't even wish to take a wild guess, because i feel coffee has nothing to do with ghost, I am ardent coffee lover. Yummy.. , Let me keep my fingers-crossed and look at what other mylotters tell about your discussion, who knows it might be true also. As i am afraid of ghosts, i will wait and see others responses, it will help me , Take care my friend[/i][/b]

I too am a coffee lover, love, love, love the stuff and yes I too see ghosts! Just last night I saw that little ghost dog again only this time it was in my basement standing on the steps just looking down at me. It has NEVER been in my house before, it's only been outside watching me as I wheel the trash cans to the curb. You can see it out of the corner of your eye, but when you turn your head real fast and look at it, it justs fades away. I have been living here for over 5 years now and I am the only one who sees that dog. I saw him the very first day I moved in but here's the problem I have about that idea about coffee drinkers having hallucinations, seeing that little ghost dog was BEFORE I started drinking COFFEE! I've only been drinking coffee for two years!

well that explains my incredibly haunted house then..since 3 of the 4 ppl living here are constantly hearing and seeing things that just cannot be explained! not really, never been a single thing in this house vaguely "unexplained". LOL! what a stupid "study" to waste money on!! that could have been put to curing cancer or AIDS or something SIGNIFICANT! like someone else said..i just dont see the connection. ok..i will give this possibility..caffeine causes hallucinations. but for all the caffeine that humans consume, LOTS OF US (talking MILLION AND MILLIONS) should be just plain flipping out about seeing things! unless it takes a HUGE amount of caffeine to inspire ghosties to frolic before our eyes. either way..im not stopping my coffee consumption..let the ghosties come!

First this study was only on 200 people and it was done with instant coffee...I don't know if that changes much, but to me it should say something. Instant coffee is bad! I know that there were times in my life that I had a ton of caffeine. I never had any problems...

Wow, that's so silly. I wouldn't ever have guessed that coffee has anything to do with anything like that. I didn't realize coffee was a hallucinogen. I believe in the afterlife and ghosts and whatnot, but I definitely wouldn't account any of that to loving coffee.

I am a coffe drinker. I have never heard voices or seen anything that was not there. I can not say this is so with my husband but he has schizophrenia so he does hear voices and hallucinate. But I do not believe that this is because of the coffee. I am not sure how they came up with this one but it is unreal.

Oh, so that's why I hear those voices! lol No, I'm like you. I do believe in `the afterlife, but I don't believe coffee makes you able to see ghosts, nor do I believe it gives you hallucinations. Maybe the caffein affects some people but not everyone.

I dont get the connection there at all. I drink alot of coffee, and I believe in ghosts. I dont hear voices. I think that it is pretty silly to connect those things to coffee. insomnia, hyperness yes. lol.
