The Jerusalem syndrome is an acute psychotic state observed in tourists and pilgrims who visit Jerusalem. The main symptom of this disorder is identification with a character from the Bible and exhibiting behaviours which seems to be typical for this character. Jerusalem Syndrome is probably caused by the religious significance or aura of the city, causing them to slip into a psychosis and become convinced they are either the Messiah or another biblical figures. People believing they're John the Baptist, Jesus, Samson, or the Virgin Mary have been spotted in the holy city. The Jerusalem Syndrome is probably a supernatural disorder by God placed on the city of Jerusalem for non-religious people or other people in any different religions to get affected and become like what it says in Paragraph 1. P.S.: For the users reading this; you can stop trying to search for the reason behind all of this wack and admit that the true Creator has probably to do something with this. There are no signifcant "lores" behind any of this, so buzz off and focus on something else that actually has unsolved mysteries.
