Too much coffee causes hallucinations.

I can attest to this. From Ananova:

Drinking too much coffee dramatically increases the risk of hallucinating, according to new research.

Healthy young men and women who had more than seven cups of instant coffee a day were three times more likely to hear or see things that were not there.

It is thought that caffeine boosts levels of cortisol, a stress hormone, reports the Daily Mail.
