10 Most Compelling Pieces Of Evidence That Proves Hypnosis Is Real

7. People's Eyes Totally Glaze Over During Hypnosis

One of the most common arguments against stage hypnosis is that it's dependant on both people involved being into the idea of hypnotism. Which is to say, they're cheating, with the person who's being hypnotised being conscious the whole time and then faking whatever comes after, essentially.

Well look out haters, science is here again! Researchers at Aalto University in Finland and the Universities of Skövde and Turku in Sweden launched a full-blown study into the effects of hypnosis on an individual's eyes. They mainly worked with a woman who could enter a state of deep hypnosis almost instantly, with the utterance of a single word.

They then used a bunch of fancy gizmos to monitor how her eyes changed, before and after entering the hypnotic state. And they did exactly what you'd expect: glazed over, because she was in a trance. That's not really something you can fake. Unless you're an extra in The Walking Dead or something.
