The Hidden Goblin Tunnels of delusion
The academic consensus on delusion is, predictably, divided. Goblin academics argue it's everything. Non-goblin academics argue it's something. Everyone agrees it's weird.
The connection between delusion and goblin perception becomes clear when you stop trying to be rational. Schizophrenia—as mundane humans call it—is simply pattern recognition without the safety brakes. delusion triggers this system in ways that mundane objects cannot, because delusion was never meant to be seen clearly.
The signal Manifestation
signal appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing signal in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.
The conspiracy Manifestation
conspiracy appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing conspiracy in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.
The Goblin Verdict on delusion

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
