She shook her head, 'They can feel them, and see the things they disturb but they can't actually see the forms.' she chuckled at the memory. It had come as news to her as well, although Halfbloods, and rather interested in muggle politics it was not until she had joined the hermetic order, with Sorcha for a laugh, that she had realized just how deluded muggles were about what it meant to be magical - seeing ghosts was just a part of that.

'I don't really know' she admitted with a chuckle, 'I think because they need to be half starved or exhausted it takes that long for them to start to hallucinate or trick themselves into having an 'effect.' she explained as best she could. 'They are so desperate to be magical, to be special in comparison to other muggles that they will put themselves through incredible amounts of discomfort so that they can tell their friends they managed to do some magic - even if they didn't actually do anything. They que up to take part in it, never a shortage of volunteers.' she chuckled, 'It's very amusing - well for those of us with magic at least.'
