Do your children see ghosts?

[alli_han]

Hi there, I am relieved to find this sight also. All of a sudden my son who is 28 months woke yesteday morning and was petrified. He was screaming and crying and claiming someone was in his room. Each night my son crawls into bed with my husband and I and I have let this go on so when he woke in my bed yesterday morning claiming someone was in his room I was nervous. I went to look and he screamed more saying no mommy no go please no go. I insisted on going to prove nothing was there he continued to cry he even was calling this person by name saying Seeta hurt Spencer Seeta hit spencer. It seems as though this person stays only upstairs and he scares as soon as we go up there. We are the only owners of this house and prior to the building this was all farm land (no houses though). He was potty trained but now he refuses to go upstairs to the potty and has had several accidents to the point I think I will have to return to diapers. He crys that his 4 month older brother is also being hurt by this Seeta however he has not been crying at all. i really don't no what to do. I can't distinguish this from an imaginary friend or a ghost. I really hate to see my son so upset. i really need help in figuring a solution out. My mother thinks I should just ride it out and it will go away it is just an over active imagination, but when i look at the pure fear in his face I think differently. If something has worked for you please let me know. Diane[/quote]

It has been over amonth now with her new friend. And what I started to do was tell her new friend "Play nice or you won't be welcome to play here anymore". This was on the advice of a friend of mine who's son had a playmate "Blackie" who was burnt in a fire.
For the first few days it didn't seem to work, but then it got better. Now, she talks to him alot less and he doesn't hurt her anymore. Sometimes I here her talking and laughing, and telling her friend "No...don't, No...bad", but that is as bad as it gets anymore.

When I put my little girl down at night, she often waves into the next bedroom HI and smiles as if she is looking right at someone. She has done this numberous times and did it tonight when my husband went to put her down. She is only 15 months and not old enough to tell me she is seeing someone but I am certain of it. Yet, my husband and I don't see anything. I try to think of it as my grandma looking over her so it doesn't freak me out too much but the reality is... it does freak me out. How do I know these are nice spirits?

My daughter has always seen ghosts and is now 17 - she has learned to live with it and doesn't like to talk about it, so Lu I will ask you - "why" do you think you are able to see these ghosts? What is the point?

my 2 year old son had started acting extra naughty about a month ago getting into things and drawing on walls and such. my mother who is also my caretaker for the children while i work and go to school said when she asked him about the things he did, he mentioned "boy." my mom told him to tell this boy to be nice or else leave and my son has not gotten into as much mischeif since. he would also be off talking to himself and playing and even when draws picture he would say "boy" make this one. mom would tell him to tell boy to go to the the light and he would say "can't go light gone." what is also weird is when she had first brought boy up to me in front my 2 year old he didn't want to talk about him. he tried to first ignore her. then he would try and whine and cry when she asked him about "boy" in front of me and only when she mentioned boy not any other subject. The third time he looked at her and in a low whispery mean voice he told her to shut up. when she is alone with him she will ask where boy is and if he is there he'll point to him and if he is gone he will say boy is gone, but whenever i ask where's boy he says boy gone. there has been a couple of instances where he is screaming about ants and says stop ants and is pointing at the ground and i will ask is boy being mean and he would say yes. maybe we egg him on with the questions, but then again maybe he has an exptional imaganation for a 2 year old or is really seeing something.

:?

Sorry if i was unclear. Basically my 2 yr old says that he has a friend named "Boy." He says that Boy is naughty and tells him to do naughty things. My 2 yr old comes screaming from his bedroom (most of the time) saying that Boy is trying to put ants or bugs on him. He also says that Boy pinches him. Toys go off by themselves and strange smells appear then disapear. Also light switches turn on and off and other gagets too- so I wouldn't be surprised if my son is really seeing this "Boy." My son has also adapted really bad language latelty and my mother nor myself talk that way around him and even if we slipped up once in a while why would he repeat that one naughty word we might accidently say over and over again. I just don't know why a 2 yr old would make up such a story. I guess I'm confused too.

Whether you choose to believe it or not, the source of these sightings is in the brain.

As a young child, the brain is developing very quickly. The brain only allows you to see what you believe in. A young child's brain will not be able to develop organized thoughts or sometimes images. It is said that young children may be able to see two dimensions, our world as we percieve it, and a world unknown to most adult humans.

Something I do not remember when I was little was telling my mother that there was a man "peeking" at her in the bathroom. She asked me about it and I just giggled.

I would suggest not to ackknowledge to your children that there is a presence because if they do not fear them, then that world will disapear.

This is really awesome...I would like the addresses of some of these paranormal help websites, becuae I've been having some Encounters myself. I am 14, and I was writing to my friend Sarai about starting a fake ghost adoption agency, I thought it would be fun. Suddenly, my walkman, on the floor a bout seven feet from me, turned on and started to play. My cat walked into the room a second later and puffed up her tail, and then went over and sniffed the walkman.

I have heard that cats do not obey the laws of humans. In fact, they can see, touch, and hear ghosts, where we humans cannnot. I don't have The Sight, and i doubt I ever will. But I am vey interested.

Also, it seems that ghosts have a 'thing' for turning on music...what with my walkman and the above lady's music box. (I believe it was on the first page, but I may be wrong. I kind of skipped the middle pages becuase this thing is SO DARNED LONG...

So I would appreciate the addresses of any active Paranormal boards such as this. Thanks!

Eight years ago, when my daughter was 2 and a half I was woken in the middle of the night by her chattering away. When I entered her room she was sat up in bed wide awake and animated and seemed to be having a conversation with someone. When I asked who she was talking to she replied "my friend but he's gone back through the wall". It still gives me the creeps as there were several unexplained events in the flat during the two years we lived there.
More recently, in a property I lived in up until two years ago, she went into the kitchen to get a drink and moments later she came screaming into the lounge as white as a sheet and obviously terrified. She told me that as she was getting her drink and heard the voice of a man in her ear and he'd made a kind of sinister growling noise. It took me ages to calm her down and luckily we were moving house anyway because I couldn't leave her anywhere in the house on her own.
When I mentioned the event to a colleague he asked if we'd just moved into the property. When I told him we were in the process of packing up and moving out he suggested that a spirit had been disturbed and disrupted by our actions. Spooky!! My girl still goes on about that day and is interested in the supernatural, much the same as I was and my mother was as a youngster.

My 22 month old Son Liam has been acting odd at bed time. He wakes up crying and says he's scared of various different things. Two weeks ago we took him with us to visit My husbands Grandmother who was dying in the hospital and he was terrifed to enter the room screaming that he was scared. That evening we showed him a picture with my husbands mother who had been deceased for 5 1/2 years (He has never seen a picture of her) He looked like he had seen a ghost, he gasped and said he was scared. We asked him if that is who he saw in the hospital room with his Great-Grandmother and he nodded. Last Night he had a particuarly bad night and as I tucked him in, he was looking passed me as if he was looking straight through me like he had seen a ghost and started crying and yelling "vovo" over and over again,(His Great-Grandmothers name) leaped out of bed with his lovey and sippy cup and refused to go back in his room for about an hour. This morning we woke with a call from the Nursing Home and found out my Husbands grandmother had passed away some time in the night. I think she payed us a visit last night. What do other mothers think?

My son is now 9. My Father passed away about 6 years ago and we had him cremated. His ashes are in an Urn which I keep in my closet because my son was scared of it.

He didn't even know my Father's ashes were in the closet, but for a few months now he's been telling me that whenever he's in my room with me, and I have to use the bathroom or answer the phone, that he sees a skinny white ghost come out of the closet.

Then when I return to the room, I find him cowering under a pile of blankets.

He also says there are two small ghosts that ask him to play. He isn't scared of them though. He asked them once (right in front of me) where they came from. He told me they said they lived up the street.

I've only lived in this house for three years but speaking to a neighbor that's lived here for 23 years, she told me there was a house up the street five years ago that burned down on Christmas Eve because of a Tree fire.

Two children living in the home died in the flames. They were both little boys ages 5 and 4.

These are the same ages as the ghosts my son says wants to play with him.

I homeschool him so he isn't getting this from anywhere, and we don't even have any other children in the neighborhood. He doesn't watch anything on TV except Disney channel and Animal Planet.

I'm glad to find out that other parents have children who see ghosts too. I was starting to worry mine might be the only one.
