Many people can be lead by suggestions--many vulnerable people can be made to do things. The index finger pointing to the forehead is just a symbolism I think, which you may have already read in Johan's page. That was indeed my take on everything, and I think we can only assume this, with everything the series gives us. Although the persuasion of Johan is much of the charm of it, I can't help but feel there is some ambiguosity here, as everything is juuust believable enough to be explained without supernaturality, and still look like it could be something else. The mistery is sometimes much better than the truth, and it may be better to never know. I like to think that there may be something else, specially given how much Johan was able to acomplish with his amazing methods.
