Yes it’s possible. People like this have a disorder called schizophrenia. It usually starts at a young age (like 4 or 5 years old) when they talk about imaginary friends. Usually the disorder isn’t diagnosed until later on though

Yes, it is entirely possible for a person to experience hallucinations. Technically, its caused by a genetic factor, so anyone carrying this enabled genetic factor is at risk of suffering a psychotic episode. When a person experiences hallucinations, he is going under what psychologically is known as a Psychotic episode. Should any other symptoms appear like delusions, flattened emotions, ect. then he or she is a prime candidate for a diagnosis of Schizophrenia.
