Do your children see ghosts?

[nastygirl246]

i was only little. but my mum said that i use to speak to a ghost throw the water pipes. when my mum use to go to the cupboards there were always things missing. so one night my mum and i and her sister decided to record in the middle of the night to see what we can hear. well we played it the next morning and we heard children crying and two adualts argueing. well there was banging comeing from under the stairs and we decided to try some names out and we came to the name humphy. and we said knock if u like the name and it knocked. well it happend to be a family there that lived there before us and the father killed his childrean and his wife and him self afterwards. and one of the children happend to be called humphy and they were always argueing when they were alive and i think the reason it came to us was because my auntie was morbed like dead things

hi ive just joined this forum been interested in this for a while but been pushed foreward after this weeks events. my daughter who is now 18 used to see orbs in her bedroom when she was 3 or 4 cant quite remember she refused to stay in her room at bedtime we had to get her to sleep then carry her in (most nights) she also recieved unexplained scratches on her back. now shes at college during the day and at night she cleans the local job center from 5 till 7 anyway on her third week she see a grey haired lady walking down the corridor she knew this was e dead end so she followed her only for her to dissapear. she mentioned this to people still working there with a funny response. the next night she was approached by a couple of workers who had heard of her experience they told her she had been seen before also they gave her a name and also said she worked there 15 years ago .

Well I know for sure children do see things thats us adults tend to lose while growing up. Very few people keep this "gift", as for my daughter I know she has this ability, This is our story:

My daughter is now 4yrs old, she was born premature and has been through many things growing up, but one thing she does do is talk to those who I believe aren't there. For example, one day (she was 3 at the time) we had just moved into our new house. I was in my room with her, while my husband was on XBOX Live in the living room, and she asked me "where's the boy?" I responded "what boy?" With hesitation she asked again "The little boy", still not knowing who or what she was talking about I told her I didn't know. While walking to the closet to figure out what I was going to wear she ends up saying in the creepy movie type way "He's Cooommmiiinnnngggg." I turned looked at her and asked "who is coming?" No response from her. (now she doesn't watch horror movies because I just don't think its right for a little one her age to watch that stuff, even though I love it) While standing in the door frame of my closet she walks in half way, turns to look at me, but is really looking behind me over my shoulder and says with a smile "See I told you she can't see you" I was completely freaked out. Another time she was in her room, during these moments her older sister (my step daughter is 14) wasn't living with us, but she was playing in the dinning room while we sat in the living room my husband and I and you hear her all of a sudden say with attitude in her voice "I don't want to play with you right now." "No, I don't want to play with you." Then silence, 4 seconds later she responds "Yeah, I heard you." My husband looked at me and said, did you just hear what she said. I couldn't say anything, I was shocked and wondered what this "person" or "thing" told her to make her so upset. When first moving into the house we put her in the room farthest from the front door, thinking it would be safer. She HATED the room. She would cry while in there, stay quiet, play and then begin to cry again. Once we moved her to the following room, she has been better ever since.
While we were in south carolina, at this moment she was only about a year old, not able to speak much, my uncle had passed away in Kuwait while in the service. She had never met him, and I never spoke of him either. Well one day while in the laundrymat she was standing on the bench while my husband held her and she was swing singing "Tito, Tito". Now my uncle's name was Julio, we used to call him Tito when we were kids, and so did his brothers and sisters. How she knew his name, I had no idea, but she sang it like nothing. As time went on we moved from south carolina and I stayed with my mother. This time she was about 1 going on 2, she was looking up at a mirror my mother had high up on a wall and was saying "Bye baby, see you, Bye" I couldn't figure out who this "baby" was, the only one I could think of was my nephew who was born premature around the same time she was born and he passed due to many problems. But she was too young to remember.
There are so many other times she has brought up peoples names and made it seem like these "friends" were real. There was Katrina, now Katrina was while she was with my mother, when my husband and I picked her up my mom spoke of her name. When I said Katina, my daughter (now age 3) corrected me and said "No Mommy not Katina, Katrina" I said "Oh, I'm sorry, but who is Katrina." She tells my husband and I "She is a girl who runs with the birds and then vanishes." Now to me for a 3yr old to use the word Vanishes in such perfect dialect suprised me and my husband. I then ask "Well, where is she now?" She told us she ran away from home, but she is home now. We had no idea on what to say.
Then there is John, John was while she was in the car with her babysitter, she was telling john in the back "It's your baby, John, the baby is yours." Her babysitter just listen the whole ride to our house. When she dropped her off she told me about what she was saying. Well as she was leaving my daughter yelled out "Bye Titi, Bye John." My aunt (her babysitter) got so frightened she started yelling don't send him with me, send him home. It was funny but she was a little spooked out.
I don't know what to make of these times, I do get a little frightened, but I get bothered most when she is yelling in her room saying she wants to be left alone, and no one is really bothering her (no one I can see that is) My husband's family is able to see spirits or speak to them, and my husband too see's shadows and at times notices them, but he doesn't tell me about it much. We talk to her when a new friend arrives and ask questions, but she will NOT tell us anything. She would change the subject or just act like we didn't ask anything. I don't know what to make of it but I just make sure she knows we are always here to listen and would never make her feel strange. I just wonder if other go throught the same thing. I don't think its always the houses, sometimes I think they find out that they are noticed and go and bother this person to help them. Who knows?!!?!?!

My son, K.J., is 2 years old. Ever since he was a baby we have noticed a "presence". We would hear something moving in his crib when no one was in it (we have another baby now- and this doesn't happen), we could hear someone/thing walking upstairs when nobody was up there. K.J. would interact with his friend-- cooing, laughing and talking too. Lately, he said that it is girl and her name is Martha. He says' things like "Mommy, Martha is in the kitchen and she is looking at you" or "Mommy she (Martha) won't let me sleep, can you ask her to go away?" and of course, I do. Last time he asked me to ask "Martha" to go way, the bed sheets moved and then my son said "She's gone".... CREEPY BUT SO NEAT! He's gifted and I hope that this gift can stay with him for life.

We don't encourage or discourage him. We ask neutral questions, never leading him. Very interesting....

update on my daughters sightings plus i did not finish my last post i need to add ,the lady in question died in surgery 15 years ago, and she worked where vicky works now (vicky is my daughter)shes been seen before . one chap see her looking at him, he got up ,picked up his keys and left never too return.anyway tonight vicky phoned me from work she was in the toilets and a arm came out in front of her ,no body ,just a arm.she was a bit scared too say the least,shaking and sweating but what could i do 20 miles away.we have said dont be scared as they cant hurt you, but it still must be scary (i hope she doesnt read this) shes being really brave but i think she wants to leave as shes doing the job on her own and it must be a bit daunting to say the least. its a big building with lots of corridors.

Don't worry about it. Usually if it is just an orb, then there is nothing to worry about. They can't hurt you that way. Ghosts can hardly do anything anyway. If bad unexplained things start happening to your son, then you should look into it. A good way to check on something about your home, is to go onto google, or another serch engine and put in the address of your house. Sometimes those sites can tell you about, maybe someone who died in your home, or something of that matter. If you ever see a ghosts in a body figure, and he tries to harm you, I heard you can throw salt at them. I've never been able to test this theory, but it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. If it ever works, will you let me know? Hope this helps you!

So I've noticed this board upon doing a search for children and the paranormal. I've done paranormal investigating for roughly 20 years. I find myself often with free time at work and this is where it ended me up this time. I myself have a 6 month old boy who seems as if he will be open to all this, he stares into space and giggle as he only does when he's looking at a person and every now and then starts crying after staring into space as if something has spooked him. Well, I'm not new to any of this and I know what's going on and all I do is pick him up and comfort him. Now most of you have children a little older here. The best word of advice that I can give you coming frm the paranormal field and being a father is not to fear it, I know it sounds easy, but do to a childs increased sensitivity to begin with, they'll pick up on your fear of the situation.

Dontknow, for instance you have 1 of 2 options, keep telling him what he see's is not real, he'll stop believe in turn not seeing things eventually, this can take years by the way, but eventually, there's a chance he runs into something later in life and he can't cope with it as easily. So your best bet is to explain to him what he is seeing, and that it can be good, and sometimes he can pick up on things he doesn't want to have to see or hear, and in those instances he can come to you to make it better, at that point contact someone to have the house cleansed / spirit banished, etc... the main idea is that he's big enough to tell good from bad, and believes that you can help him get rid of the bad things.


Hope that helps... I know it's hard for most of us as most older generations our parents told us ghosts didn't exist or something of the nature, but it's better to cope with our own fears and help our children grow and know the truth, than have to deal with it later when we may not be around to help them.

I would like to speak to you some about what you know. Thanks!

my neice has a girl coming to see her by the name of molly.she says she is very scared of her and she makes her do things.she has things going on at school tht see says molly made her do and she told the school that molly tells her to hurt her self and others.my neice is very upset over this and can't sleep at night.my sister does not know what to do.does anyone know anything i can tell my sister to do?

I think the best thing is to ask her questions, figure out more about this Molly girl. What exactly does Molly tell her to do. Maybe have a talk with your neice and see if Molly is ever around. If she is, talk to Molly through your neice. Sometimes you can figure out what ghosts want by talking to them. Have your neice practice saying no to Molly, if things persist, try a different tactic. Talk to your neice and tell her not to listen to Molly. Sometimes kids will make thing up, so they won't get in trouble. If you still think Molly is real, just keep asking questions and tell your neice that it is not ok to do those things. I hope this helps you!!!

Im pleased other people have had this experience with their children, my three year often talks about a lady at his window and gets very frustrated when i cant see her and he does. Before me and my husband moved into this house we lived in a house that belonged to my husbands family and a few family members had died there, before i had my son we had lived in the house 5 years and nothing out of the ordinary ever happened until i had my son and then we use to have very paranormal things start happening in the house. It got so bad that we set up a cctv kind of system in our baby's nursery to try and figure out what was making the footsteps etc, to our disbelief when we played the footage back there was hours of footage of orbs floating and whizzing around our son's cot and the most un-nerving experience was watching my son about 6 months old at the time kick off the covers in his sleep and something that we could not see lifted the covers back over him. There was no one in the room and its as clear as you can get on the footage. With that we brought in a meduim who confirmed my husbands grandma and grandad were still present in the house (they died in the house) and that they were just watching over their new great grandson and that we had nothing to worry about, we did move a year after all of this and now this is happening in our new house.

Put the footage on YouTube and then I'll believe you.

You're all a bunch of absolute nutcases.

This is a VERY interesting thread, I must say...I can recommend a book to those who want to know what to do about cases of haunting or paranormal activity: "Psychic Self-Defense" by Dion Fortune. It gives a method for making holy water and consecrated salt, which can be used as protection against entities. Chidren are particularly susceptible to psychic attack, and yes, there are malignant/demonic entities out there that prey on children. The fact that most people are irreligious or atheistic these days does not help; being able to pray with conviction helps a LOT in most cases. If anyone wants to PM me with any questions, or needs clarification, I am available to help.
