What Causes A Feeling That Someone Is Standing Behind?

Everytime im not doing anything and there is a corner or something behind my, i have a really powerful urge to turn around and look at it for 5 seconds. This happens every 5 seconds and if i dont i start hallucinating something is behind me and the feeling starts destroying my brain mentally. What would this be because i cant stand it anymore i want to live life without looking behind me every 5 seconds.Thanks
