Do you believe in spirits? Do you think kids have a 6th sense?

Mominator

What I mean is, if you believe in spirts/ghosts/whatever, do you think that kids are more "intuitive" in that regards? I've always thought so, but something that happened over the weekend makes me believe so more than ever.

Jodi&Joe

yes and yes.

it makes sense.  kids aren't jaded....yet.

firefightersgal

Yes and yes.  I also think animals are much more intuitive to that sort of thing.

MrsOlson

I have no idea but do tell.... I am curious what happened!

AnnapolisLari

Sure. I believe in ghosts the same way I believe in God and angels. I absolutely think that it's possible for a soul to be trapped on earth and/or have unfinished business.

Little kids are more open and receptive to everything in their world. If anyone's going to see a ghost it's a kid.

Okay, you are all probably going to think I'm a freak, but here goes! LOL

I should preface this by saying that I live in my Grandparents house and this is also where my Grandmother passed away at only 56 y/o.

So, on Saturday I took my kids out to lunch to a local burger joint. I haven't been here in years, but it's actually right next door to a bar that I go to sometimes and I ofter park in the lot of the burger joint after hours. As we were leaving, I noticed a run down mini-golf place that I had completely forgotten even existed, it's been at least 10 years since the place closed down. As we were sitting in the car, I kind of said out loud "I forgot that place was even there" and then out of nowhere Alyssa said "Did your Mom-Mom take you there right before she died?". As it turns out, my Mom-Mom took me there literally 2 weeks before she died, it is one of the last memories that I have of her.

Of all the people for Alyssa to ask about, for her to mention my Mom-Mom and the question was just so matter-of-fact in regards to the when, it literally gave me chills. Alyssa has said some other things that there is no way that she should know about, but this one really sealed it for me, I think that my Mom-Mom is in contact with her and wants me to know it.

AB-solutely! My DS1 has had experiences.

I think we all have a sixth sense, but not related to the spirit world.  I think there is something within us that can sense danger or intrusion, for example.  Have you ever had the hair on the back of your neck rise up?  Have you ever had the sensation that someone is looking at/watching you (and been correct).

yes i believe so. i have people who work in hospitals where people who have just died and have seen there ghost. they say its NOTHING like the movies. they say its one most beautiful angelic things you could ever see. and they arent afraid at all. plus kids are influenced by the media or have the fear instilled in them yet so they notice things more. especially spirits

::chills::  I don't think you're a freak.  I agree with you.

No I don't believe in any of that.

Me neither. And to be honest, your story doesn't sound all that freaky.

I do believe in spirits/ghosts and yes I believe kids have more intuition with them. My son used to sit in his room playing by himself and talking when he was about 18 months old-2 years. We thought he was just using his imagination but we asked him about it one time. He said he was playing with another kid. We've had many family members lose kids and I have a feeling one of them came to play with him.

Another story of this sort was when I was a junior in HS. I was singing a solo for choir and was nervous beyond belief. I started singing and I got this cold chill and the hairs on the back of my neck and arms stood up. I also felt something brush my hands. After the concert my mom asked me if it felt like something was holding my hand. I thought it was a little weird she ask me that after what I felt. I told her how I felt standing up there and she told me that she had asked my great grandmother to stand by my side and be with me during my solo. It still gives me goose bumps thinking about this.

Wow, that just gave me the goose bumps reading this.

Yes and Yes. My DD who is 4 has said a few things lately that were weird..First she says to my DH one day, "Bob, Bob, Bob, we should call you Bob.."  and that's not his name..I don't know why she was saying this, but later my DH tells me he went to the cemetary to his granpa's grave whose name was Bob..MY DH NEVER goes to the cemetary but he was very close to his grandpa, loved hanging out with him, but I think he has probably been to the cemetary once since he died about 6 years ago..

Then the other day, I was feeling so down and tired and beat up from this pregnancy and felt like I really couldn't go on. I was laying in my bed resting for a seconds while my kids played and I prayed that God help me get thru the next few weeks and then I thought to myself, God probably thought I was a big wimp or  like my problems were so small compared to some people's or something like that..later that day DD says out of the blue, "MOM, do you know God is thinking about you right this minute?" Okay, this made me feel a little strange so I said, "how do you know?" and she said matter of factly "I can hear him inside me.." this made me feel so good and blessed. And I don't talk about God nearly as much as I should with my kids so it's not like we do on a daily basis..

I think kids at a certain age do have more of a sense, but then lose it.

i dont know if i believe in ghosts and such, but i think that we all have another level of intuition that we sometimes ignore. i do think that children are more receptive to this and to feelings.

ghm

Definitely yes to spirits, and I think kids are more prone to being open to spirits. 

I'd love to hear your story.  

ghm

BTW, I've mentioned it here and it's not about spirits, but Bella accurately remembers her birth--things she would have no way of knowing. Well, I should say rememberED. She no longer remembers, but she randomly started telling us things about it when she was barely 2 years old.

pookie2005

I do. I know Grace seems to have picked up on something...luckily I believe it's my father watching over her. I know my cat definitely acts wonky at times.
