Children and Ghosts.

[Rosemary's Baby]

My child, I've mentioned before, would wave to someone that wasn't there. The worst time, we had been taking a nap in my bed, she on the inside, me with my back toward the door. She was walking, but not talking well yet, so around 1 year old. She woke me up as she always did, by standing up and balancing on my side. She gives me a big goofy grin and then starts to stare out the door into the hallway. Then she waved.
It was one of those times when you literally freeze. You stop breathing and all of the hair on the back of your neck stands up. My first thought was that someone had broken into the house and was standing behind me. I did the slow look over my shoulder. There was no one there. Super creepy.
A friend of mine's daughter had some experiences when she was little. The girl would have taken a nap in her crib & when she she woke up, her mom would find her talking. "Who are you talking to?"
"Grandma."
"Oh, that's nice." Much later they went to a relatives house that had a large display of family photos. The little girl started looking at the pictures, she zeroed in one one immediately. "Look, mommy, there's Grandma." "No, sweetie, that's Granny --". "No, mommy, she likes to be called Grandma." Grandma had been dead since before the little girl had been born. They were living in her house. :eek:
So, yeah. I believe kid's are better able to see them. And, there is very little rationalization to their thoughts.
