Over 20% of Irish children report hearing voices

Once, I saw three coffins in the office at work. My eys were telling me there were coffins, logic and common sense told me that we don't keep coffins in work. I was only able to deduce I was halucinating.

I wasn't halucinating, the coffins were there - the builder who was fitting out the storey below us was doing a prank for Halloween.

Sometimes the mind has difficulty reconciling perception with reality.

This is why everyone should do hallucinogenic drugs, so if they can tell the difference between real life and hallucinations.

Thanks OP.

I've just killed my children to be on the safe side.

They weren't your children to begin with and you know it.

I remember once having an auditory hallucination. It was when I drifting off to sleep one night and it sounded (clear as day) as if someone was speaking right beside my ear. I can't remember what it was now, but it was a deep man's voice.

Hasn't happened before or since then. Weird.

I've had something like that a handful of times over my life. It's usually my fathers voice calling my name as he would have done when I was late for school.
