My story is related to this, but I don't want to give it away, so I'll give an alternative scenario.
Say that there are two kids who convince another kid that a ghost exists in the house. There is really no ghost there. Two of the kids believe it. The third doesn't. They begin to witness certain things together, and then they believe it. When does this hysteria turn into really seeing something? Is it the same for all of them?
I remember in a House episode that most passengers on a plane got sick because of one person. After explaining it's hysteria at the end, the symptoms went away. It only took them less than 24 hours then to see things that weren't really there.
So, I want this story to make them "see" things that aren't there. Do they see the same thing if they already know the detail of the ghost, etc.?
This isn't like kids playing to fight pretend ghosts. They truly believe this one exists. And I'm trying to make sure hysteria is a reasonable cause of it. The main fear is they can't move forward in life with it being around, and they feel hopeless or a slave to it. Again, it's not my exact story, but this alternative fits well with what I'm wondering on with hysteria.
