A term for wild, off-the-wall theories. Named after a leading tinfoil-hat theory explaining the mysterious shaking, rustling trees on Lost during the first season of that program. The theory? The trees are having epileptic fits. Can be traced back to H.P. Lovecraft's story "The Colour out of Space". See Stock Epileptic Trees for other common examples. If you'd like to see the wiki contributors' own personal epileptic forest, check out our Wild Mass Guessing page. Don't waste your tree here. Plant it in Wild Mass Guessing. Not to be confused with the patient on House who had epileptic testicles.
