Can multiple schizophrenic people see the same thing? If there some that see people with mask, do they all see the masks on the same or on different people?

There can be shared psychosis related to delusions (folie a deux or shared psychotic disorder) between two people or even rarer between a group of people. After googling, I can't find anything about shared hallucinations between folks who have schizophrenia, and it's not something I've ever heard about either, but I'm new to the field.
(Just a note on this, psychosis is not caused solely by schizophrenia. It can occur due to substances, medications, and other disorders as well).
