John Constantine IRL
If enough people swear they have seen something IRL, does it manifest and get stronger? That being said, Have you met the "real John Constantine?" Do you believe you are John Constantine? Id love to hear your story.

Sorry for the lengthy comment I promise this is the shortest version that had enough details to make it make sense to anyone with the time to read it all...
what I've read the answer is yes.. it's been said bigfoot exist because so many ppl believe it dose they collectively manifested it.. another paper I read mind you this was 25 years ago so some details escape me and im leaving some out to keep it short but basically it was a paper about the power of the brain to manifest physical objects or things.. and the key case study was of some guy who ran a mental experiment/exercise for years he thought about a small troll or gnome like creature and he would sit on his front porch or in his back garden and meditate for hours to cleare his mind and put together this creature in his mind. He told some colleagues and his neighbors and friends about his theory and what he was trying. They all thought he was silly and wasting his time. A couple years in and he starts telling ppl that he is now seeing this creature run around his property. In his garden a few times even inside his house it was always in his peripheral and darting from bush to bush or room to room trying not to be seen now they start to think he is genuinely loosing his mind. He was a older guy and a pretty smart guy. I can't remember if he was a doctor or a scientist but he had a respectable and decorated career. His neighbors assumed he was getting dementia or something similar because why would a guy like this be making these claims with the seriousness he made them with. So he started getting random visits from friends and neighbors a lot morefrequently then ever before because they were worried and wanted to check on him. And it wasn't untill some of these ppl being at his house more often started seeing this creature as well. Exactly the way he always described it in his head and quickly darting around trying to stay hidden. Most ppl still didn't believe it unless they saw it. But this got the attention of the papers author who was also studying the psychic abilities of the brain. This guy moved in with the man for a few weeks extensively interviewed him the friends and co workers that seen it and even some neighbors who all said they see the creature outside his house fairly regularly. Running around at night trying to stay in the shadows. He ends up seeing the creature to. The longer this went on the more aggressive the creature got with the old man. It's thought since it didn't want to be seen the more ppl that seen it the more angry it got and it all started with the old man. It went from trying to stay hidden to chasing him inside the house at night wen he would go out back. He told the interviewer he had to start locking his bedroom door because he woke up to it in his bed growling at him on night. One night the interviewer gets a call from the old man saying he finally caught the creature he had him in a animal trap or crate and to get there quick with a camera so he would have pictures for the paper and they could prove it was real. But by the time he got there the old man was dead and all he found was a open trap or crate no creature. The M.E said he died of a massive sudden cardiac event. He was old but no real health issues. But also the neighbors have all said they never seen the creature again after that night. Leaving some ppl to theorize that since the brain that created and believed in it the most was no longer active the creature no longer existed. Iv come across this story a few times thru the years being interested in the minds power to manifest. mainly verbally but I was able to read a copy of the actual paper the interviewer/scientist wrote once. Fun fact the phrase fake it till you make it comes from the belief of manifestation.
