Just seen on facebook (i guess one of these click bate/fake news/spam things) an article with the headline
"Man from 2464 (or something) passes lie detector test"

My first thought is yeah, i'm no doctor or what ever but if the man is crazy enough to fully believe his fantasy everything he says is going to be true so would pass? Like people that say they've been abducted by Aliens

If you are defining the word "Aliens" as in not from this nation, the mexican gangs can be pretty ruthless abductors. . .

When I worked as a prison guard they taught us that a majority of the offenders could be classified as sociopathic. Which means they can truly believe their own lies. I was watching two offenders and they passed items between each other. I radioed and had both of them stopped and sure enough one of them had some weed on him. It was a drug deal. The one offender that passed it to him swore up and down that he never passed anything to him. He was very very convincing. I had it on tape though. It is very scary how convincing he was. If I didn't have it on tape and a clear shot of the package, I might have doubted myself as to if he actually did it.
