Hello,
I agree with everyone here about seeking the advice of a professional, as your daughter may have a mental health problem. If she hasn't it will be a relief to have that confirmed by someone who is a professional. Either way it will put you on the path to helping her to overcome it. It sounds like it isn't something which should just be left to see if it goes away, because the likelihood is that, if she is ill and it is left, the illness will manifest itself over time. Mental illness is so common but a lot of people are still in denial about how common it is. I have people in my family and close to me, including my sister, who have suffered Psychosis (Schizophrenia or Bipolar Disorder). I hope your daughter isn't suffering from any of these things but if she is, there is a lot of help and support out there, and she can overcome it.
Take care and I wish you all the best xx

 This does sound like too much fun. She hears the voices, my daughter doesn't hear them but claims she watches spirits walking from her mom's room into hers.
What I recommend, which I've heard people do with this issue. Chances are your daughter as she gets older will be able to communicate in a positive way. Spirits are drawn to those they know can see, or hear, or connect from our side to theirs.
What I recommend is having a tv on low volume or a radio for when she goes to sleep. The sounds from either one of those will drown out the voices. Also leave a light on, a night light or a hall light that comes in the room. For some reason the energy from the light, dampens the spiritual energy.
Take care, I hope this helps.

 Please seek the advice of a mental health professional. Children who are troubled by certain things can imagine in their mind they are hearing things. It might be her need to create attention for herself or it could be a serious physcological problem. Don't wait make the appointment and have her seem about. It will help you to get some insight into the problem and hopefully it will help her to let go of the voices. May God watch over you and your child.

 This seems like a pretty common occurrence. GO to this website: http://www.clarity-of-being.org/night-terrors-voices.htm
I'm sure it'll have some explanations on what's going on. And she probably does need some therapy and medication.

Hi, this must be really hard for you.
Speeking to you as a fellow mum (boy 8) and i am a mental health nurse, I can not stress to any greater, you must be brave for your baby girl and take her to see your GP asap. Not that i am saying so, but it could be the begining of a serious illness and it need to be delt with. You wouldn't leave her with a physical illness and a mental illness is no differant, an illness is still an illness no matter what. Be strong for she needs you right now. Your doctor will be totally professional and the kind of help that is out there does not just support your daughter but you and your family too. Be strong and dont let either of you suffer any more, this can be delt with... good luck and im thinking of you both.

 hi, i would say that.. you need to consult a profesional with something like this, unless we have some phychiatrists, or children specialists on this site that come across your question, im not sure we can help much.

 Hey, forgive me for the limited knowledge of a teenager, but you need to consult a professional about this issue, it may be schizophrenia (but keep in mind that this is a worst case scenario and not definitely true). I stand with my advice of seeing a professional.
