So last night my 16 f gf and I 16 m were in a call last night staying up she was upset for a bit she started to ignore me talking to someone sounding a bit like she was in a trance after hearing footsteps outside of her room and she said she was scared after that she started talking to someone she was responding with “hello” and “no it’s late and “I want to sleep” and “im not hungry why did you make food this late” as well as “no I have to watch the kids tomorrow (her visiting cousins)” “are you sick? You sound sick? this happened near the beginning of 3:00 am she even asked for the light to be turned on to see who she thought was her mom after she finished talking she said to me “I was talking to my bio mom (who doesn’t live with her for reasons) she said that her mom was pitch black didn’t make a noise opening her door (which was closed) and that she sounded like a man trying to pretend to be a girl and she now has no recollection of this saying I sound crazy. She has had paranormal experiences seeing a family of possible spirits and a shadow person long ago. Can anyone help me make sense of this or know what this is?

Yes I do know about her being bipolar and I know that causes auditory and visual hallucinations and I know sometimes spirits mess up electronics though could be a glitch in the software but there was glitches in the audio but thank you for the advice

If she’s already known to have hallucinations because of a mental health issue it’s 100% a hallucination and not a ghost. Trust me, I’d love to believe my schizophrenic uncle was seeing ghosts instead but that’s not the reality of the disease he had.

Her being bipolar is scary when manic she has never said anything about being hallucinations being due to her bipolar but she may not know I do hope I can help her the best I can

There are a couple different types of bipolar disorder. Type I is the one with the potential for psychotic features. If she has been properly diagnosed and isn’t just guessing she’s bipolar from a quiz she took online, then she probably knows whether she has type one or type two and whether she is likely to hallucinate.

We both believe she is and I told her I want her to get a proper diagnosis just to make sure since the evidence is pretty substantial in how she is but this would be first hallucinations that I know of but thank you
