Do you ever wonder...

Besides, Floydness, do you mean that you deem it possible that when you see someone talking to themselves, there might really be something or someone you can't see while they can?
J Bananas:
I sincerely doubt there is some kind of spiritual presence or "ghost" that these people are actually talking to. The mind is a powerful thing and convince us of many things we believe is reality.

Well, im just saying "what IF" u know? The mind is very powerful indeed.. but what type of mind state do you have to be in to actually see someone thats not really there talking to you? That freaks me out a little bit.. Sometimes animals see things that we dont see either and they act all crazy.. Im not one to believe in "ghosts" floating around but I was curious to see what you guys think... were so quick to judge people and label them insane when we never really know whats actually going on. I dont know, maybe im just looking too much into this and they really are just nuts lol.

Insane people don't think they get insane, they think they are getting better. I think some of them just got bored, started to imagine shit and it was fun and the deeper they got into it the more accustomed they got. My grandma would act extremely paranoid and mildly insane when around my mother for instance, then as soon as a doctor came she acts like a normal person.
And now she's in that beautiful institution where the state is paying like 3500 Euros per months for her, she doesn't pay shit, gets everything handed to her and isn't lonely. That's better than being a disliked widdow sitting there all day all alone in the apartment I can imagine.

Some animals have great senses (think of horses and birds), but what they respond to isn't anything we can't explain, is it? They simply respond to the weather, or a mood, or a situation... They can do it very well, and they leave us wondering, but they don't indicate anything unusual as far as I know...
While at the other hand, someone sitting on a bench in a park, talking to the empty space next to them... There's nothing mystical about that, except the fact that they created a strong vision inside their own head. Then again, if you would watch them closely, you would come to conclude that their senses don't register the presence of their partner in conversation - it all happens inside their head. For example, they could be sitting, talking to the empty space on the right on the same bench, not noticing someone else is actually sitting down there, and suddenly making up how their "ghost" quickly moved over and is now standing before them (while the other person already sat down). Their visions are inconsistent, without them knowing it.
Besides, if you're really curious about this, maybe it's worth a try to ask someone who it is they're talking to. You never know what the answer might be - just be cautious while you do it.
