I don't know if you can help me, but I need to know what I am seeing. Any advice would be great, or maybe I am seeing spirits?
One night I was walking home, it was dark, and I was alert as always so that nothing bad would happen. I was scared for it was rather late, but it was otherwise a typical walk home. I walked down the busy street so that people would see me if I were to get kidnapped or whatever, I'm always scared of that, but then I saw something. A family at the side of the sidewalk, two parents and three children, they looked like they were from a long time ago like Mennonites or something like that. They were just standing there, they looked sort of unhappy, but nothing too bizarre, the bizarre part was that when I looked back again at them they were gone. They weren't real.
So I continued on, a bit more scared now, when I stopped dead in my tracks seeing a girl walking towards me, a woman probably in her twenties. She was only there briefly and she disappeared, so I kept on going home.
It was then that I saw the boy; again he wasn't real, as in alive or a physical being. I could just sense it. But it wasn't a normal boy, he was crouched against the bushes and his face was all distorted like he'd been in an accident or he had been badly burned or something like that, I looked again and he was gone.
Often now I see little things, and strange things seem to adore me. Often, like right now, sitting in my house alone or with my parent asleep I feel like there is something watching me. Especially when I look up ghosts and whatnot, it feels like someone is literally looking over my shoulder. I am absolutely terrified to go into my basement, I have to turn on all the lights. When I'm down there I have to sing as loud as possible, constantly looking over my shoulder, and when I'm done what I'm doing literally run up the stairs because I feel like something is chasing me.
For some reason I adore black cats, and I have hallucinations of them sometimes, like one disappearing behind a bush. Cats are common for me to hallucinate/see now, I feel a very strong connection with them and I'm not sure why. I hate going out when it's foggy because I'm terrified of what I might see. Please help me, I need to know what's going on.
Are these hallucinations? Or am I seeing something else?

(As a background note, sometimes I dream things that will happen the next day or further in the week. I have déjà vu a lot, too. I have discovered that I am an Empath, and I can often tell what people are thinking and say the same thing at the same time as certain people close to me.. but what is it if these really are ghosts?)
