I have never seen ghosts or heard voices. I have a sister that does and began to in her late teens. What interested me about this article is how individuals who claim to be psychic learn to "control" the visions and voices they see/hear.

I do wonder about schizophrenia and psychosis and quite frankly at times my sister has concerned me with her so called powers to see/hear ghosts and somehow know things. Yet, she also experiences panic attacks and can be very controlling. I am wondering if she somehow uses this challenge as a way to comfort herself as is touched on in this article.

The only time I saw what I thought was ghosts was after having life saving surgery when I was coming out of the anesthesia. I have read that one can have hallucinations while coming out of anesthesia.

I wonder if the conversation in one's own mind gets distorted to a point where the internal voices/conversations one has where they review conversations and know they are problem solving gets so they begin to develop a mindset where they actually hear voices and see people and begin thinking it's real. I am still confused about this tbh. So, when I came across this article it was nice to read how they are studying this where they feel that some people who claim to hear voices and see "ghosts" learn to manage it.
