Do a plot twist… Make it seem like shes in a haunted situation with sightings of ghosts, people who died in horrid ways. But in the end is a plot twist that it was her addiction to drugs which lead her to see these thing and lose everything she had.
So the reader least suspects those things to happen.
Start the bit slowly, mention drugs vaguely without saying she takes them.. Maybe when shes at home she feels a buzz but don’t explain why.
Though the slow bit build her life up, gets job, gets wealthy, husband then it slowly goes…. and in the end she loses her mind and the reader discovers it was because of the drugs and it wasnt real, or was it?
You got the best of both ways there :3
