I have an imaginary friend named Greg. Spirit or Hallucination?
When I was younger, I never had an imaginary friend. But as of recently, there’s been this thing stalking me.
Now I’m kinda cheating with the name. He never explicitly told me, so I kinda just gave him that name in hopes of making him less scary.
I can feel him, and I can imagine his presence. As far as I know, he’s a skinless man with a gash across his mouth that allows it to stretch farther than normal. He tends to hang around me when I stay in the dark for too long or don’t take my medication.
(Note I don’t have any diagnosed mental illnesses that can lead to hallucinations).
Here’s what I know about him:
- **If the other ways he appears don’t apply, I often feel him during strange occurrences**; object falling off a shelf for a strange reason, an odd chill no matter the room temp, you name it, he’s there.
- **He HATES mirrors**. I can’t look at them directly when I feel him, like I know he’ll get angry if I see what he really looks like.
- **He has never communicated with me directly**. During time’s he’s appeared, he really only sits there quietly about a foot or two away. Unfortunately this means I know little to nothing about who he is and why he’s attached to me specifically.
I’ll add things when I learn more about him. I genuinely want to be friends with him or at least be able to set him free, but I dunno. Is this an actual spirit, or is it all in my head?
