Iin: i hear things when im alone

You're being paranoid. The mind hates silence, so it fills itself up with either thoughts or imaginary noises.

I know a lot of people who say they hear or see things like ghosts... me? Sometimes it seems like it. I just blame my schizophrenia. ^¬^

it is true what you hear,some of us have that gift to hear things and see things that others can't hear or see

Briefly and to the point. A ghost. Without a doubt.

There was a study done on this and it was linked to sleep paralysis. I guess your state of mind is trying to get to sleep so what you're experiencing is hallucinations. Its just your mind trying to dream but your not asleep yet or something like that.

Ghosts or you could be hallucinating do to sleepiness. Try going to bed earlier.

Ghosts don't have thinking living brains, therefore they cannot walk around or make noises - since they are just NOT real.

For some unknown reason people don't see dinosaur ghosts even though they were huge and covered the world.
Nor do we see tree ghosts or billions of insect ghosts.
We haven't even seen planet ghosts (other than the time delay of the light getting to us).

Those 'footsteps' you hear MUST be something else more likely.
Its possible you may have highly tuned ears and hear next door's footsteps. Or its tricks on your mind, or please just find out. It will be fun to know the 'truth'.

it might be your heartbeat

Ugh. I grew up with a mother who was afraid of things that went bump in the night. My father worked nights when we were young. Multiple times every week she would roust my brother and me from bed, put us in a "safe" corner of the house, and then start sweeping the house looking under beds and around corners for what made the noise she had heard. There was never a problem, just her being her. She was a child in an adult body, and still is. DO NOT be a child in an adult body. Houses make noises. People hear sounds. Bad things happen...but not usually, and being afraid won't make them not happen.
