I’m a 26 year old female. I’ve been hearing things in my house for quite a while now. It started out with little noises here and there or thinking I heard a voice in the distance but not being sure. It’s been a little less than a year now and things have progressed quite a bit. 

Anytime there’s silence, I hear a woman talking in my ear. I don’t hear her in my head, it’s as if someone is right next to me whispering or sometimes yelling directly into my ear. 

It’s mostly whispers I hear and I usually can’t make out what’s being said, but sometimes the woman shouts at me angrily or calls me names or laughs maniacally.  I’m hearing her more and more often now &amp; her voice sounds more wicked and evil each time. 

It seems to happen only when it’s silent, so I always keep a tv on or a radio or something to give off some noise. 

The thing is, I live in an old house that I inherited from my grandparents. They bought it back in the 50s and I’ve heard all kinds of stories from them and various other family members growing up about how the house is haunted and all the things they’ve seen and heard here. 

I have seen and heard a couple things myself when I was younger but nothing like what’s happening now. I did try to have a conversation with “the ghost” awhile back &amp; just asked why it was here and what it wanted. It seems like that is really when everything started happening to me. 

Ive just been assuming for all these months that this is the ghost harassing me but I’m starting to question my sanity now. 

I’m 26, almost 27 and I know I’m at a common age for the onset of schizophrenia. I don’t have any other symptoms besides hearing the voice. I’m not delusional and I don’t see things that aren’t there. 

I’ve been keeping this to myself as I don’t want anyone to judge me or think I’m crazy, but I’m contemplating telling my doctor.

I also have ADHD and have been taking adderall since I was kid. I’ve read that this can cause psychosis in some people. But I’ve been taking it for so many years with no problems and it’s been very helpful, so I don’t see why I would react any differently now. 

I don’t know what’s going on with me and would appreciate anyone’s thoughts or opinions. Is this something paranormal I’m experiencing or is this all in my head? I’m not asking for a diagnosis. It’s difficult for me to tell if this is real or not so it would be interesting to hear if someone else is going through something similar or has any input.
