Discussion #3 False Memory Syndrome

False memory syndrome is the recalling of events that never happened, and it sometimes happens most occasionally with crime scenes, and the retelling of any big event that one may have witnessed. I know that from my own personal experience its hard for me to remember correctly how a  conversation that was just had went, then a huge crime scene investigation. Sometimes when there is big drama people tend to like to enhance the drama because its more compelling. People love action and being in the middle of it, so their memorys can be a little slanted when telling their own stories. What happens is people may accidentally misinterpret a situation and totally misjudge and they recreate a situation.
