My 12 year old sister has been having violent thoughts because of a fictional character she claims she's been seeing. What should we do?

My (f26) sister (f12) believes she's been seeing a character from a Creepypasta called 'Ticky Toby.' She's been telling me for weeks in a row repeatedly about how she spots him in the backyard every night, and that she can hear his voice whisper for her to "join" him while she's asleep, to the point it's become concerning. She said the voice tells her she needs to kill everyone in the house (our mom and stepdad) and burn it down to prove herself "worthy," and I'm glad she came to me about this and hasn't done anything bad yet because this is really fucking serious. She has never shown signs of mental illness until here recently. I told my parents everything even though she didn't want me to because she apparently didn't feel "comfortable" enough for them to know about this, but I had to anyway. We've been discussing on what to do, and the best option we see fit for now is a trip to the psychiatrist. What do you people think?
