We had ball lightning blow a painting off of our wall in front of 30-odd people at Thanksgiving.

It’s possible it was a mass delusion or a ghost but both of those strike me as less likely.

The 31st person dressed up and walking behind the painting may have had something constructive to say about the situation

The theory is that it's regular lightning, and the rest is a retina-caused illusion? So people actually see ball lightning, but it would be almost impossible to get on a digital camera. So it does, in fact "exist", just not physically.
