Bev I know what you mean as Damien is a very sensitive wee boy and I think he will always be

Children are very 'sensitive' when it comes to things like this! My niece has been talking about someone called Pip! He comes to play with her alot! When her mum asked where Pip lived she kept pointing over to the churchyard! When she was asked what he looks like she describes what I can only take to be a street urchin! Her mum decided to take a look in the churchyard and phoned me up in a panic.... There was a small gravestone covered in weeds and when she had a closer look there was the name Pip and the date 1883 age 6yrs!!! Spooky!!! Bev x

Thanks for your advice, on the 6th he went to bed but ended up in his brothers bed about 3am but last night his big brother just put him in his bed and he slept all night and a friendon the bus said Damien is very quite not like him at all. Janice when I was reading about your dog I was getting shivers all over which happens every time I read or some one tells me about some one

Hiya Val, There is a possibility that your son is quite psychic, which could be developed as time marches on. If you or him are at all a little worried,then talk to the `spirit`and tell him/her it`s time for bed, and should not wake the little boy, your son,. End the conversation with `Bless You` If you have a digital camera, try taking a few shots around the bedroom, you might find you have what is known as `Orbs`,circular discs,,,`spirits`. I have them at my home, but not worried at all. If you`re in doubt about all this, a visit to your local spiritulist church should be able to help you. Baz xx

Dear Val I have had these experiences too. When I was tiny my grandmothers would visit me at bedtime - a feeling of happiness when they would make me giggle. On my seventeenth birthday, my grandfather died, and the next night he came and rested his hands on my shoulders to tell me he was feeling so much better!! When I was twentyfour my other gran died and later on that summer I was taking some exams. That morning I was asleep in bed and I felt her sit on my bed and she stroked my forehead and hair just like she used to when I was sick or upset. My mother has always been very relaxed about seeing, hearing and smelling things so I suppose I had no need to fear or block it out. Let him tell you as much as he wants - perhaps along the lines of 'somebody came to see you, oh that was nice of them'. If it wasn't he will probably say so and why. The most important thing is that he will take most of his cue from you and if your automatic response is an unworried one it will probably reassure him so much more than even saying that you are only in the next bedroom if he ever needs you. Keep us informed and I hope that he is not too anxious. Love Abigail

val try leaving his light on at night it may help him, i believe in all this and myself and daughter have had some weird experiences with suspected spirits playing up, weve had stuff go missing , stuff moved, a medium said its just mischief, and has said we have a little girl who visits us, more than one medium has said this, they said just tell them to stop playing games, try saying at night when little ones sleeping is not the time to play games, hope your little lad stays happy and not bothered by it

I have never seen him and if it is who I get the feeling it is I really don't want him to go away it has been my 2nd husband who has seen him sitting on the bed looking at me, I have heard him. Damien is asleep now left him till 10pm so I hope to night is better

Val.... I've e-mailed you! Judy

Val, If you are aware of this apparition, next time you sense him, just tell him firmly to go away. It worked for me. maggie

A similar thing happened to my son when he was only 2 so I know he couldn't be making stories up. He told me when he woke up and cried for me an old man came and told him shush mummy is coming. I told him the old man was looking after him and it sooned stopped. That was in my first house and we were only the second family to live there we often heard footsteps but it had a lovley homely feeling. Keep reasuring him and hopefully it will pass. Germaine. x

Sorry Wendy at bingo with Speedy. I have not got any pets and my son tells me the same story doesn't add anything so I know it is the truth. I have just put my son to bed and he seems ok

Val - if he consistently tells you the same story without making it bigger and wilder each time then he is telling you the truth. Do you have any pets? If there IS anything in his room an animal should sense it. Quite often a spirit will attach itself to a child especially a sensitive one.

thanks for all your advice everyone I hope you didn't think I was silly for asking, I know it is a thing we don't really know much about but I do believe in it

I had the same thing happen to me when i was a child of about 5 or 6.I would see an apparition on the stairs and no amount of reassurances from my mother that it was washing on the landing etc. shifted it.then it went by itself.leave a little glow light by your sons bed and if it does persist seek advice from the spiritualist church.I don't think your little boy or any child would make something up like that so just see how it goes.above all don't start worrying yourself!

Val, I agree with Jay and Janice, make sure if you're talking to adults about this he doesn't overhear you and definately when your little boy is not around go into his room and talk quietly to the spirit. Explain he's frightening your son, ask him to stop. We have spirits in our house and when my two were young they got afraid at different times, I spoke to the spirits and it all stopped. We now all live happily together. For those who don't believe and think some of us are mad for saying we have spirits in our homes, when you have them you know, and when you accept them things are fine, that's our experience anyway.

I picked him up from school and he has not mentioned what happened this morning so I have not mentioned it I will just have to wait and see when it is his bed time what his reaction is and just play it by ear

Hi Val, I too would contact the church or a spiritualist medium. My husband saw a spirit man when he was young as did his brother (who is 10 years younger)10 years later. This spirit is still in the house but lives alongside with no problems at all. As someone said, children are very open to this and the boy probably wants him as a friend. Hope everything gets sorted xxx

Mandy I know my 6yr old will be all right, I know he has nothing to worry about it is just this is the first time he has pulled his hand and it bothered me in case he gets frightened

Like I said before Val, they might not even need to come to the house to sort things out for you so wouldn't make it an issue for your little boy.......... if someone had to come they could do it when he's at school. The church might also offer advice on good way to settle your son about this. My kids grew up knowing grandma comes to visit every now and again and we just say hello to her. (Except when she starts messing with my computer!) Mandy

Thanks for all your advice I was picking my boys up from school. If he tells me he is hearing things I tell him it is ok and that it is nothing to worry about but this is the first time he has had his hand pulled, to be honest I know he has nothing to worry about but he is 6yrs so it might scare him hopefully he will be ok tonight when he goes to bed
