The scientists found some weird bacteria or chemical that causes hallucinations, and now the mining company has drilled into the place where that thing is, and it is seeping into the water causing mass hallucinations.
that's my guess. my partner is like "NOOO IT'S MAGIC STOP NOOO"
if it is hallucinations they're going to affect people in different ways! rose sees her dead husband, the native women hear the voices of their ancestors out on the ice, like people's given religious/spiritual beliefs will actively affect what they see when they hallucinate. i haven't watched ep 4 yet (i know what happens) but i'm really excited for the last two!
