Hallucinations as a little kid

This may sound not believable but i promise everything i'm about to say is true and most of it occurred in the 2000s

I remember as a little kid being a very hyper and short tempered tot. Although looking back i experienced very weird things. I remember being about 5 years old and my two dogs had just died. Very shortly after i started seeing spirit versions of them running around my room. I was very happy as sometimes i had believed the dogs had somehow come to life only to accept in my mind that they were ghosts.

Soon after the room would spin. Violently spin i would be lying in my bed listening to radio and the room would turn on its side and i would feel a horrible falling sensation and would grab on to the side of my bunk bed. But i wasn't falling and my grandfather (my roomate) would look at me funny. Sometimes it would spin violently in circles and would feel like i was being thrown around. I would start to hear very creepy and horrible voices and noises around my room. I believed i was being haunted and wouldn't sleep much when i saw these things. But i had my guardian angle, a stuffed turtle. As i got a little bit older everything went away.

I knew other kids that would experiencing this and for a while i thought it was a normal kid thing. But now it seems like it was just me as i can't find anything about it.

About a decade later i developed a psychotic mood disorder if this is relevant. But that was only after years of this stuff going away. Is it normal?

    Is there any schizophrenics in your family? It's probably that.

    Take antipsychotics.

    I had some borderline hallucinations as a child. Gone now.
