Do your children see ghosts?

[Jess1027]

Hi my name is Jess and I have a littel girl who is almost 3 . She has always talked about littel girls coing and playing with her and it has never been a big deal to me untell today . I was in the bathroom doing my hair and makeup when I hurd her talking to someone . I asked her who she was talking to and she said Rachal lynn . When I asked her where Rachal lynn was she said right here mommy are dog who was asleep by the bathroom door Jump up and ran out of the room . When my littel girl said do you want to see her I said yes . Then a lilttel bit later she was laying on my bed talking to this girl agian and she said OHHH NOOO mommy . I asked her what was wrong and she said A Big mean guy hit her bum and hurt her and hit her head and so much blood . I asked her who was hurt and she said rachal Lynn was .
Im not sure what to think of this there has been one other time my daughter has said something about a littel girl to my mom and she said the littel girl was being hit by her daddy and was crying .
In my family we all have had "people around us " I know I can tell when someone is around. My husband does not do well with the hole other side being around. I just wanted to see what others thought about what my daughter is telling me ..

Hi, I have never seen a ghost and have hardly even thought about them until recently. My 27 month old son has been puzzling me. After putting him to bed and leaving the landing light on, i pay a little visit to him while he is still awake and he gets all excited when i appear at the door. I crouch down to talk to him over his cot and he points past the left of my face towards the top of the landing and he does this several times and babbles happilly as though he is pointing something out to me. He will look at me and babble, pointing enthusiastically. This has made my hair on my arms stand up! There's nothing there. The wash bin is on the landing and one afternoon it creeked three or four times. I heard it creeking as i checked my son who was fast asleep. I sat there looking at it as it creeked a few more times. It had washing in it but neither my husband or i had touched it for at least a day. I dont' know what to think.
Today which is new years eve, new years day now (been typing so long) i went to a little church in Woburn Sands with my son and husband and this is for his family tree research (his father came over for Xmas day and gave some info to my partner about his old relatives, 2 being buried in the church in 1940 and 49). So in the afternoon my partner,son and i went up there. Now, our son loves to walk and run on his reins and we got him strapped up and he trotted up the path. He had a mild stumble as usual and regained his step and carried on walking. We walked up the side of the church and towards the back where the grave stones are and suddenly he looked and immediately put his hand over his face and went towards his dad to be picked up. I took a couple of photos of the grave of what would be my husband's great nan and grandad and all the time my son's hand stayed over his eyes and face. His legs were together and not once did he look. I was puzzled and we then walked around the other side of the church and back to the car, my husband was still carrying him. Now i am baffled as we both know that when we take him out either on foot or in his pushchair, if anyone comes up to him and does the usual ' hello what's your name' etc, he puts his hand over his face and it usually stays there until the person has gone and occasionally he has removed his hand and dared to look and smile. This is the only reason he puts his hand over his eyes. My son has never been to a church or a graveyard and never been to this church which is a little church with a small cemetery with quite old stones but it all looks lovely and free from noise, not even a barking dog. There are no bright graish colours and it is very subtle visually. We are wondering 'did he see something we didn't? did someone come up to him that we couldn't see?
I go in a lot of charity shops in my town and i many people come up to my son, mostly friendly 'grannies' and they always greet my son but we always say 'he's shy' because his hand goes straight up over his eyes.

I buy and sell retro items, clothing and furniture items also many older items and often i have to store the objects in my two bedrooms. On a few occassions i have felt i am not alone, a russling carrier bag while i'm in bed and something blowing past my ear then two seconds later a creek of my window frame. I have smelt smoke/tobacco and perfume which have disappeared within seconds. I have often smelt tobacco waft over me while i am wake in bed yet my partner and i don't smoke. My house contains a lot of second hand objects especially furniture and don't want to concern myself of having a pile of spirits in my house now. As my collecting is my income and a hobby i would not want to stop it all. Has anyone heard of having odd experiences connected to a second object brought into their home? There could be a perfectly normal explanation for it all. I've got to go to bed now at 1.30 am and hope i sleep ok.

hi to all wishig everyone a happy new year.
well i have to say that i myself am26 and have had alot of unusuall siteings in my life and alot of unexplained things go on.i think 2 near death experiences haveing my sons brought alot on.but i wont talk about my experiences because i have so many.

i want to tell you about my first born son who is now 5yrs old.when he was born i lived with my parents and my hubby.we moved into our flat when my son was 3 months.it was all great but we didnt know anyone who lived in these falts and we didnt know any past history about our flat.as my son got older i decorated his bedroom all nice for him reday for him to go in there and sleep whe he turned 1 thats what we did he slept in his cot in there.

i have to say that i have always felt uneasy in that room i do sense alot and i felt that it wasnt a very nice feeling that i was getting.i really didnt want my baby to go in there.my husband said one day right is our boy gonna sleep in his room tonight for the first time.i agreed to it because i know if i said anything my hubby wouldnt like it his not very inderstanding when it comes to the other side quite sceptical really.

my son was always a very goodsleeper never woke up never moaned in the night nothing.so you can understand that from the first night i put him in there i found it strange when he woke screaming.i mean he was getting into a right state.after a while he would calm down i would put him in bed with us he would be sobbing.so every night i would persivere and try.well every night the same thing.so one night we stayed up and watched tv after putting him to bed.

i sat on the couch that looked staright into his room.hubby sat on his chair watchinn tv.out the corner of my eye i saw this dark shadow leaning over my son i looked away then looked again it was a big man leaning right over.i didnt say anything just stared then my son screamed that was it i ran into the bedroom i didnt say anything to my hubby.i picked my baby up to comfort him i wasnt scared because of my past ive seen alot.but i was scared for my son.i turned around in that bedroom looked but couldnt see anything but knew he was there.

i siad to him you stay away from my son you b***** if you want to try and scare anyone try me not a deffensless young baby.well my husband was standing at the door then and heard me so i had to explain to him what had happened.we moved our baby into our room.

SORRY ABOUT THIS LONG STORY.

the next day i went downstairs and asked the lady that had lived there the longest who lived in that flat before us.she was very hesitant.i said dont worry i knoe somthing bad happened.so she went on to tell me that a young boyand his mother lived there.she got a boyfriend the lady said he was a big man.then she went on and said that the mother let this man sexually molest this boy in the small room and then lock him in there.
the neighbours reported the screams he got sent to prison she had her son taken from her.he hung himself in prison but kept visiting the room where it kept taking place.we never went in that room again untill we moved.i went in there the night we left and told him to rot in hell.

my son is now 5 and has no recolection of what happened.

My 14 year old daughter is being visited by her dead great grandmother who died 8 years ago. She has seen her 3 times in all but the last time was in the graveyard and they had a conversation. The details were all relevent and she only told me after she saw a similar looking lady in the supermarket and became very upset. I have no reason to think she is making this up but am worried about what I should do. Any help gratefully received!

i have seen and heard ghost all my life and when i was 10 i would always see my dead grandma and sense my grandfather died last summer i have been seeing him a lot ive been seeing them a lot and hearing them i love to go sit in cemeteries and to see all the people that walk around that no one else sees but my little next door kid sees them too so im not crazy :D

my daughter is almost three and for the last couple months she has been telling me there is a monster in her room. She doesn't seem afraid she just always wants to show me, but when she brings me in he isn't there anymore. Last night, my mother was over watching her for me and when she put her to bed she sat up looked into the doorway and said "popi" (what she calls her grandpa) and then said "mimi who's that in the door" my mother then proceded to ask her some simple questions and it is a man, he is old, and apparently he plays house with her. I am assuming the only reason she calls it a monster is thats the only word she can think of. I thought it was only her great imagination, but this time it sort of creeped me out.

Sorry -- new to this site and unsure how to post (previous entry).

We also collect antiques and second-hand items, mainly as a hobby. When we get tired of something, we sell it on eBay or to others who also collect. There are many people we've dealt with over the years who've had too many strange experiences with old items -- furniture and dolls in particular -- to dismiss them all as superstitious.

If an item meant something to someone who has died, there is often a psychic connection. Whether that connection is a residual psychic echo or an intelligent, interactive entity is hard to determine; however, most stories I've heard first-hand lead me to believe it's the latter. In the same way a house or physical dwelling/location can be "haunted," so can an object. If it exhibits malevolent behavior, the best thing to do is get rid of it. If it does not seem unfriendly, the spirit may be enjoying its new surroundings.

If you can co-exist with the spirit, it could be good for both of you. I once read about a caretaker in California who actually talks to the spirits who inhabit the old property in which he works. He says it comforts him and vice-versa.

As for your child, he is likely seeing spirits of those who are sent to look after him -- usually relatives who have passed. From your description, they don't appear to want to do him harm, so I wouldn't worry too much. In most cases, a young child's ability to see spirits seems to wear off as he or she grows older and are taught that such things are not possible (wink-wink). When he does grow older, it would be interesting to broach the subject and see if he recalls seeing things as a boy. Ashby, my significant other, used to play with a host of children who lived in the woods as a child near the family's 1600s-era home near the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia. Ashby is convinced today that they were not real children at all, but spirits of young ones who had passed on all too early in life.

Anyway, thanks for sharing. Good luck with your son and happy antiquing!

Oh my goodness! My friends brother has an "Imaginary Friend" name Jfren (Jeff ren) He says 'Mommy I can't sleep Jfren keeps talking!'. And she will ask where Jfren is and Ethan, the little bro, said, "he's at my birthday party". So she starts getting freaked. And so she was 'playing' along and said 'Okay, time to go to sleep Jfren' So he slept all night and didn't have ONE complaint about Jfren talking. One out of like 10 exanples was when his mom told him to clen up his room and he said 'but Jfren did it!'. So this is STILL going on and it's freaking us ALL out. P.S. His brother and I said if Jfren comes again we'll kick his butt!!!!!!!!
