shallusion 

A shared delusion, typically by followers of a leader who has deluded ideas they fully accepted as their own.
The podcast had no listeners and was a rambling boring mess with occasional vulgarities, but the shallusion continued because they didn't want to believe they had to work on their careers.

senillusion 

FYI, two words I created yesterday:

1. Noun: A false fact appearing certain to be true as a result of senility or aging. senilitysenilesenipartedaging
A senillusion made me sure it was an article in USA Today but, after countless searches there, it turned out to be in the Wall Street Journal instead.

SMELLUSION 

Thinking you smell something when it could be something else or nothing at all.
I said "it smells like freshly baked bread"
Mary commented "I think you are just hungry"
I replied "Are you saying I am having a smellusion?"

Bob, did you fart again?!
No. I think you are having a smellusion.

spillusion 

An optical illusion that is so mind blowing that your brain spills out of your mouth.
That optical spillusion was way too much for Harry to handle.
