Hypnosis to see "yeti" or "aliens."

[jimcole]

Are there any known accounts of people being hypnotised to see mythical creatures and report their encounter? Could they be hypnotized to pass a polygraph?

[reviewsnest]

I have no idea whether such cases actually happened.

Theoretically speaking, however - it is possible, and yes, they would be able to pass the polygraph.

Anything anyone can hallucinate can be hallucinated in hypnosis.

In short, "Yes."

Your question has some underlying presuppositions. Specifically:
1) Yeti and aliens are mythical
2) If it can be shown that hypnosis can allow people to see mythical creatures
3) It follows that seeing yeti and aliens are the results of some sort of hypnosis.

This follows what is known as a "logical argument"
If A then B
If B then C
Therefore, if A, then C

Unfortunately, for a logical argument to be valid (i.e., objectively real), you have to show that each of the prepositions (or in this case, presuppositions) are real.

In this case, you not only have produced no evidence to support the claim that aliens and yeti are mythical. Therefore, any proof of your entire argument is meaningless.

Be that as it may, the ability to see things that aren't there--positive hallucinations--has long been shown to be a reality during hypnosis.

Sure it's 'possible'

Personally I like to 'see' 10 foot high Poodles.

Anything you have seen before as in real or in books to movies can easily be recreated with hypnosis.

The answer to your questions as asked is YES. However, I would suggest it would be much cheaper to buy a bottle of the best for that purpose, since at say forty dollars a bottle, it would be much cheaper than a visit to me..
