Ask A Witch: Hearing Voices in Tallahassee, FL
Dear Alexandra,
I hear voices, and it's not my mind. I also see things, like a little boy. I've only seen the little boy a couple of times. I hear screams and and sometimes someone talking. My mother tells me that I might be a witch, but really I think that shes trying to tell me that im going crazy. I don't know what to do. I also see a cat smiling at me, it sounds stupid but it's true. Sometimes I also feel that someone is watching me and I feel someone trying to grab me really tight like trying to kill me. It scares me a lot. I hope you can try and figure out an answer. Maybe I am a witch and I don't know it.

Dear HV,
I do not believe that you are a Witch, and believing that you are can't help this situation right now, anyway. There are many reasons why someone might hear voices that others do not. I do not believe that you are crazy. A key point that you'll need to think about is whether hearing the voices bothers you or affects your life negatively. From your description of your experiences, it sounds like this is the case. Thus, regardless of what is going on, you'll have to do a thorough investigation starting with medical possibilities.
The next thing to do is find out the cause for your voice hearing. The most dangerous reason for hearing voices is a medical condition, such as a brain tumor, epilepsy, or serious mental illness. For this reason, the first action should be to visit your regular doctor and get checked out to make sure that nothing is physically wrong with your ears or brain! After you have verified that you are physically and mentally fit, it will be time to investigate the areas in which you hear the voices for entities that may be bringing them about or figuring out the symbolic meanings of what you see as well as understanding how to dampen them.
Light!
