I have, since the 70's, possibly before.. In my case, it seems to be part of who and what I am. I'll let more interested minds than mine argue the nurture/nature of it. There is room for both arguments. I'm far and away more interested in the therapy tools to manage the symptom. Whatever the source, the phenom is mine to live with and I need a whole arsenal of tools to cope.

I get visual, olfactory and tactile hallucinations in addition to the auditory hallucinations. The full metal jacket. Typically, the external hallucinations are like movements on the edge of my senses, there and gone so quickly that I can never be quite certain they actually happened. The internal ones don't seem to have an "off" switch. They go on and on like a nightmare I can't wake up from.

I was hospitslised with hearing voices and delusions 2 years ago. I still sometimes hear aguy in my head talking to me when im really unwell.

I’ve had auditory and visual hallucinations. Both are unsettling. I’ve seen shadow people. Mostly it has happened in the periphery of my vision. But very real to me at the time. Also flashes of intense color like a rainbow.

I’ve had auditory hallucinations too. Like for instance, I would hear my name over my shoulder causing me to spin around to see if someone was there although I was alone in my house.

I’ve not had either in many years.

My mom used to have really frightening episodes too before they adjusted her meds. Mostly extreme paranoia, not exactly seeing or hearing things. But she at one point thought the government was watching her through the television. She also would accuse people of taking things from her house. Those are just a couple of examples. It was intense.

I have had auditory hallucinations outside of my head and I've seen 'shadow people' a couple of times.... Not pleasant...…

I was extremely paranoid both times this has happened

Oh! Shadow people! I saw him once and went paranoid and started keeping a night light on and praying with my cross before bed.

Yes, all kinds of hallucinations but I haven’t had any in many years. My senses now know when something’s off and I now know when I need to get urgent help. It tells me I’m having medication problems, which historically has been worse for me due to sleep deprivation from mania.

They were like a connective fog of voices, smells, seeing things not there and thinking my every movement and thought was traceable somehow.

I still have trouble with my memory knowing what was real or not when I reflect on my big episodes and steps leading up to hospitalization. People I encountered and such. Also, these were all heightened when I was in actual hospitals....I now know I personally prefer IOP half day program should I require it again.
