Ok, why is this a thread? And why is it not closed?

But it's a common misconception that acid makes you see things, whereas in actual fact, it makes you see weird colours. On tv shows and the like, when someone takes acid, they always trip shit, and see like gorillas in glasses, riding unicycles, when actually, you wouldn't see anything like that if you actually took the drug.

The Gray Man is most likely the result of a sleep disorder known as Hypnognia, where the mind automatically assumes there is a dangerous entity around. A sense of dread accompanies this sleep disorder causing one to only remember the fear and not the dream. As a result, in game, you lose your Flashback. Relatedly, some have also suggested that this be a reference to the common drug diphenhydramine, commonly found in Benadryl. This drug when used recreationally, has been known to create instances of a "Hat Man", who is similar in appearance to The Grey Man. Diphenhydramine is also known in causing short memory loss of most of the drug's effects. The Hat Man phenomenon is, again, often attributed to Hypnognia.
