I just see shadows out of the corner of my eyes quickly, or sometimes a light mist like flash of gray,white or charcoal color etc, weird things like that- don't know if that's a visual hallucination or what it is honestly- I am just used to it now.
Wondering what other peeps get

Ive had some really nasty visuals- why you trying to make me relive them? hehe

I hope you are still here, because I just answered your c-ya post...

anyway-I saw dead mice, and things move, my one daughter saw rats, and "talked" to people that weren't there. My oldest saw a monster hanging from her ceiling fan in broad daylight.

As for the real ghosts, i experienced a lot of weird happenings at my friend's house as a child...very scary...attributed to a poltergiest, said my mom....

Take care, if you are still here! terter
 

Whoa a rat! (I like rats lol) BUT I would not want to see that I don't think...

did you get scared or did you figure your eyes were playing tricks after a few moments?

I am to the point now I am like-whatever-

if you're from Lyme, I am going to be killin ya off soon w/ treatment, if you're a ghost-leave me alone and go haunt someone else - I have enough problems LMAO!

I think a rat is still better than a ghost- then again you said GIANT rat!

LOL Love this post

Makes me feel alot better when my eyes are wigging out on me

- or ghosts-

or -whatever!!

Thanks ever1 for sharing their funky visuals!!

I would like to see a pink cat myself...

I saw a tall man in a black or dark green cloak standing in the middle but far distance of the hallway in the HOSPITAL right after my spinal tap...

I was like-
OMG grim reapers here for me already?
LOL
I saw him once, put my head back down some, shut my eyes and was still 'off' due to the body/stress I guess w/ the tap- was all woozie, and then opened my eyes again, saw 1/4 of him as I was laying down, lifted my head alittle to be sure it was still him viewing the rest of him (fuzzy view thou- head was shot), and then laid back down again and told myself maybe they took more spinal fluid than they should have..and then I didn't see him anymore-
ROTFL!
(shh don't tell my ID)
hahah-Grim Reaper- but he didn't have a sickle at least...

When I was about 14, I was outside at night with a few friends ( one who happened to be very religious) and I we were all goofing off chasing each other. I freaked out because I saw a tall dark shadow with a hood literally walking across the yard for like oh five seconds.

Religious friend took me to her religious mom who told me I was doomed. Sweet, huh? Guess she was right afterall! Hey, maybe thats when I got bit by a tick? LOL

The whole world became distorted. Walls covered in blood, knife-wielding monsters running around, dismembered bodies lying around, not a pleasent experience. Thankfully that doesn't happen anymore.
 

but as far as the lyme induced ones I get the peripheral vision ones mostly. The scariest one was once while I was driving I saw the car in the lane next to me suddenly cut in front of me and stop! Thank God this flashed faster than I could fully react to it, I only had time to look in my rearview mirror to see if I should stop straight ahead or attempt to go around him. When I looked forward again there he was cruising just where he had been the whole time. I had to pull over my heart was beating so hard. This was one of early sx of this last relapse.

I haven't had any in a while. I definately get them when I am sleep deprived but thoese are most likely associated with waking dreams than actual hallucinations. You can tell the difference if they happen when you are "spacing out" while sleep deprived; then they are most likely waking dreams. The spacing out is the begining of Alpha state in most cases...day dreams...sleepdeprived mind=waking dreams.

I've always had the flashes of light and problems with my periphery but no other hallucinations.

Then I was in a car accident in August and got much worse. I started seeing a black dog! This stupid dog would walk around my house (we have no dog). Ofcourse I thought I was crazy (sure i am) but the doctor at the time said it was from the car accident.

Luckily the dog went to a new owner and I haven't seen him in a few months!
 

Last night I had one. I hadn't had one in a long time. I increased my doxy. Maybe that is why. Maybe it is a herx.

Anyway, in my hallucination, I saw a hand come out from behind my pillow and try to smother me.

I use to have them where I would see things come out from the ceiling and people sitting in the other room. No one would be there. I use to see what looks like a shadow come by bed to put something over my face. This would all happen right after I would fall asleep.

It is very frightening especially when it is things that you think could hurt you. It could kill a person with a bad heart.

Well, thats my story and I'm sticking to it.

When ehrlichiosis was killing me (truely)
My Nana, other Grand Mother, and 2 Great Aunts that I loved so dearly came to me and all put their hands on me. I felt total absolute warmth & love in the center of my body right in my heart. It was really cool. So I like to think they did come to me
and it was not the fever of 102.5 that I had.

I have been in haunted houses & witness stuff. My house was built in late 1700's.
sorry to go on. Cool stuff.

Maybe I have just excused the flashes and whisps of shadows as "all in my head". Never attributed them to Lyme.

HOWEVER, I have experienced my vertical blinds splashing...like water. Same with my berber carpeting...anywhere there were patterns they would move like water. Geez, it was almost freaky fun to watch.

I was real light sensitive, sound senstive,e etc. My family had a hard time believing me about those things.

That freaky stuff hasn't bothered me lately. Been in treatment almost two years.

The cause of your hallucinations may not be the same as for the other posters.

Hallucinations that occur during sleep onset are a hallmark of narcolepsy. Other signs are cataplexy (weakness, especially in response to high emotion or being startled) and sleep paralysis (being consious but paralyzed around the time of sleep). If memory serves, the cataplexy and sleep paralysis can be followed by extreme fatigue. Narcoleptics are also often sleepy.

It's worth looking in to, if you haven't already.
