Wow, it sounds like something has gone seriously wrong in his head. Get him to see a GP because it could be a chemical thing caused by some illness.
Either that or he's discovered drugs. Get your parents on to it before he overdoses / dies of a brain tumour.
Good Luck!! xx

 Try to get him to see a counselor. This is beyond the limits of a problem that a friend or family member can deal with unassisted, and it's beginning to affect his health.
Let him know that a counselor can help him deal with these ghosts in an effective manner. Which is absolutely true. Those ghosts are every bit as real to him as you are. And he needs help dealing with them.
DO this for him. He'll be glad you did, even though he may resist it now.

It'll be quite hard to get answers from him directly so you might have to do some investigating, like asking his friends if they noticed anything unusual too. Also, it may be invading his privacy, but you may have to snoop around his things a bit to see if you can find a clue as to why he's acting this way. Good luck!
