Has anyone got a loved one they are caring for who has Parkinson’s hallucinations? My husband is continually seeing people in the house and garden. It happens mainly in the evening and at night although it does happen during the day as well. He wanders around the house telling them to leave, but of course they don’t. I have started double locking the door as he has been found walking outside without shoes or socks or a coat on a cold early mornings (2am). He says he is chasing off the men and woman who were in the house.
Also, I’ve frequently woken in the morning to find my iPad, watch, laptop and other expensive items laid at the bottom of the bed, he said the people are trying to steal them! Because he can’t move his legs very well Im continuously waking-up in the middle of the night to help him in out and out of bed, which is exhausting.

My Husband swears there is a man in his bedroom everynight - He cant see who or work out if he is there to protect him or hurt him. He ends up leaving the bedroom hoping the man will disappear
He has also had visions of a cat snuggling on his bed - He has never had a cat !
I did read (or hear on a podcast) that if you see someone that’s not there to reach out to try and touch them and of course you can’t so it tells your brain its not real then they go.
The movers and shakers have done a podcast on hallucinations which might be of interest.
