Interesting article here where normal people (not tortured) confessed to things they had not done:
The Reykjavik Confessions
Wonder how much of this sort of thing figures in prosecution of Rolf Harris and others? When pressed, can people persuade themselves that things actually happened when they did not?
I do have a sort of false memory of my own that I once saw Tony Blair when he visited a place I was working. Yet for some reason I am not totally sure and can find no indication on Google that he ever visited the town in question. I can remember the exact circumstances when I saw various other public figures/celebrities so it's odd that that memory is so vague. Unless the horror of it has caused my mind to try and blot it out!
Anyone else have recollections they are not totally sure of? Not quite sure if they were real or dreams?
