Hey guys, need a bit of advice.
I recently started seeing a girl who has a 3 yearold son. After 2 months I finally met the little guy and hes great. Normal and fun lol. After about 4 months she old me about his secret....He sees ghosts. She waited and didnt want to tell me and freak me out. But she wanted to be honest and ease me in on it.
He sees his great grandparents daily. Plays with them in his room and talks to them etc... My GF has never met either of them as they died several years before she was born. He was just looking at random family photos one day and pointed to them excitedly and said both of their names outloud. Not even my GF knew who the people in the photos were until she asked her mom. Sure enough he was spot on...it was them.
He talks to alot of people who arent around... I brush it off as an overactive imagination. But there are things that cant be explained. Like on night he was playing on the floor alone...and began to talk to "someone". After about 5 minutes he said, "youre mean! Go away now! I dont like you!" And with that he watched something that i ciould not see leave the room. I watched his head follow the ghost out of the room. That is when the front door (closed) made a loud boom noise. Like someone had punched it. I went and checked it out. No one there.
Just one more experience with him. The three of us were sitting on the couch watching a movie with a blanket cuddled up. The son was sound asleep and had been for about an hour. She reached over and paused the movie and said look at him. He was sleeping...but breathing very rapidly. Shaking. and sweating alot. There was no eye movement which would indicate REM sleep and dreaming. Suddenly she sat up and pointed at the corner of the ceiling and screamed..... He colapsed back down again and instantky woke up crying. Still looking at the corner of the roof and crying he said please mom dont let it take me away,,,
Like i said...these are almost daily occurances. 99 times out of 100 its a playful spirit who he plays games with. But the odd time its somwthin more dark. Any ideas of how we should deal with this? Im a sceptic but some things you cant deny. If you see this first hand you cant deny. Hes been to a doctor and a psychologist and they say hes fine. So lets leave skepticism out for the time being. If you had a child with this abillity...how would you help him/her...what can we do?
its common,and real ,in ny opinion .
They usually grow out of it,except he sounds exceptional .He may have second sight .
Its actually difficult,as people think you're a freak,so she needs to handle it properly.
To do that,she must Accept his gift ,as well as not being ashamed of it.
Anyone who can't handle it,if it were my kid ,I would tell to buzz off .
