I was wondering if any one can advise how to explain to a 6yr old as last few weeks he has been hearing foot steps and some one climbing into his bed with him then early this morning he woke up said he had a bad dream slept beside his big brother for a while but couldn't settle he came down stairs at 6am, I asked what his dream was about he said it wasn't a dream he felt someone shake his hand and it was being pulled, tried to tell him he must have been dreaming he said no, so how do I deal with it

All i can say is that it sounds like he maybe troubled about something else and he is using this as a cry for help..Has anything happened to him in the last few days? At school before half term? Might bre an idea to ask his teacher.Have a good heart to heart with him and do it alone,ask a friend to look after your other kids and take him somewhere where you can have a quiet talk.Also might be an idea to leave hall light on and night and tell him to call if he scared and then give him lots of love and reassurance..Hope some of this is of help and good luck to the wee man.Regards Jason.x.

Not that I know of, I have had a small boy follow me from 4 houses the first time I knew of him was when my ex went to hit me and a pen flew off the unit and landed in the middle of the room. I heard a small boy's voice last year saying Mummy I love you so that makes me wonder who it is and my 2nd husband has seen him

If you are inclined to believe in the spiritual world at all ............. contact you local spiritalist church and they will help. Mandy My house wa sorted out by the inner circle in the chuch, they don't always have to come round to your house.

He has been hearing it for months but I tried to play it down but he is very sensitive

I agree with Mandy. contact the local church who may be at least able to tell you if it is the boy and who he is

he is 6yrs old it is just this is first time he has said about touching his hand I think he was worried

val please email me iv got some advice for u your little boy is more than litly see this little boy hes around the age of your son and more than likly he wants to be this friend does this spirt have a name lisa

My daughter had night terrors from very early age, when she started talking she would screem about a man in her bedroom. one night she told me he had pulled her arm and he was trying to take her away.. she did indeed have finger prints on her arm that were not from her... i was told to say the lords prayer and burn frankinsence joss sticks in her room. just after her second birthday she screemed again in her room, i ran in and asked if it was the 'baddy man' again, she said that it was okay now because the 'shiney man' had sent him away.. the next morning i was told that my uncle had died in the night.. maybe a coincidence, maybe not. Try the joss sticks! xx

Hi Val I agree with Janice, you should try talking to the spirit & maybe suggest to your lad that he does the same if he senses him/her again. Above all reassure him that he has nothing to be scared of. Perhaps if he is woken again he should try to bring the spirit to meet you. You may have more luck communicating if you try telepathically, just ask questions in your mind & trust the reply you hear. Vivienne

Please hun..I do believe in some of this stuff but please make sure your boy has not heard you saying about it and playing on it because he has other worries.Children are lovely sensative beings and can pick up vibes from parents, don,t scare him by asking,look up all avenues first and mostly make out you not worried and that you are happy he telling you these things and that you are always there for a cuddle and a chat..Jay

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

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

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

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

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

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 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!

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

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.
