I See Dead People. It’s The Coffee.

15 January 2009 No Comment posted by Kin

A UK study at Durham University conducted on 200 students claims that those who have high levels of caffeine intake are more prone to having hallucinations.  It seems that high levels of caffeine causes extra sensory perceptions of hearing and seeing things that aren’t there…and even feeling the presence of dead people.  Students who consumed 7 cups of instant coffee or more per day, were three times more suceptible to having hallucinations, compared to those who cosumed only one cup of coffee per day.

The study didn’t focus on just coffee alone, as tea, caffeinated energy drinks, chocolate bars and caffeine pills were also thrown into the mix.

See, you’re not crazy, just lay off the java for a bit.

Better call the Ghostbusters in Tampa, Florida.
