I had become psychotic and was having hallucinations.
I have had those hallucinations another time, ghosts with white out faces, very terrifiying. I could not watch scarey movies for a long time.
Delusions/false beliefs/paranoia are part of the psychosis that can occur in the ultimate form of mania. It has only happened twice to me thank goodness. And I ended up in hospital both times. I am labeled bipolar 1 for this reason.... I run more manic than depressed, bipolar 2.
this was my experience.
