Halloween T-shirt

It's Halloween and the interesting T-shirts are coming out of the closet or the top dresser drawer, depending on where they are kept. I saw a thought provoking T-shirt today. The picture on the shirt was a haunted house and the caption read

HAUNTED by the voices in my mind

Now tell me, what human being isn't haunted by the voices in his or her mind. I doubt that there are very few people who don't hear voices in their minds. Of course, most people realize that the voices are just their own thoughts echoing off nerve cells or whatever it is our thoughts echo off of.

A person haunted by the voices in his or her mind would make a good character. Especially if the voices weren't really the person's thoughts but invaders from another planet or dimension. What if the character or perhaps the character's doctor found out where the thoughts came from and decided to put a stop to them. How would this be done? I don't think wrapping the characters head in aluminum foil is going to do it.
