Self-fulfilling Prophecy is a lot of it.
Ah, at the eye doctor’s office the other day hubby and I learned about “floaters” (they seem to arrive more as we age :)
Anyway, a patient told the tech there was mouse in the room that she had seen running along the baseboards —it was a floater in her eye. I wonder how many witches and psychics thru the ages truly thought they saw something everyone else didn’t because of floaters?
