Ok so I've never been formally diagnosed as having tactile hallucinations but...

I just got done readong a thread on another forum about this, and related to it a lot.

When I was 16, I had a reiki session odne on me. And I came home....and felt a weird draft coming fromthe corner of a book case. I went over to the bookcase to check it out and figured it was a ghost. It felt cold, like a cold breeze. It followed me around my house and then became harassing, not letting me go to sleep by pushing on my bed.

I felt like I was being posessed. Lights flickered a lot during this time (or so it seemed). I couldnt sleep at my grandmothers house. I'd go into the kitchen and sit on the floor, because I felt like someone or something was sittin on the edge of my bed. I thought i felt a cat walking on the bed.

I was frightened out of my mind, sleeping with the light on.

I would try to talk to them because they'd signal their presence by a tingling sensation on my scalp (which I can still induce today upon will but it doesnt neccesarily indicate a presence). I would talk to them in yes, no, maybe's. But nothing they ever said made sense. Sometimes they'd tap me on the shoulder, or bump into me while I was trying to go to sleep.

I made everything go away by refusing to talk to them any more, and not concentrating on the tingles on my head.

But yeah, i'm thinking this was/is a tactile hallucination and I'm going to keep on ignoring it. It's just so hard, when people believe that ghosts/demons do exist. It's so easy to say that "no the gov isnt spying on you." or "of course you werent abducted by aliens" but people do believe you if you say you've had "paranormal experiences".

Tell me about your tactile hallucination experiences?
