Capgras’ Syndrome
Posted on February 5th, 2007
I'm always fascinated by diseases that alter a person's perception so convincingly that they see or hear a world different than the rest of us. Damn Interesting has an article on Capgras' Syndrome, a mental disease where people believe close friends / family / pets / objects are being replaced by duplicates - and the originals taken away. As if this wasn't eerie enough, sometimes sufferers even think their own reflection is a copy of themselves.Entry Filed under: Articles
