My 3 1/2 year old grandaughter wakes up at night crying about a man named Bodie... says he is tall with long hair and a hat with corn on it and a black head. She talks about him often... usually saying that he is behind the light... sometimes we hear odd bumps and thumps at night (2:00a.m. or close to it) and my dog has been growling down the hall with her hackles up for no reason. She has been talking about bodie since we moved here in June and sometimes seems scared and sometimes just says he's nice. We usually don't make anything of her talk, thinking that we don't want to entertain her fascination with an imaginary friend(or ghost) but she persistantly says she sees him "behind the light" any thoughts as to if she is sensitive to a real spirit or just a really active imagination?

Hi there
It is a fact that children are sensitive to seeing and hearing spirit. Any spirit that is in a home is there for one pupose and that is to install fear in our minds. Most of their work is done while we sleep. Most time if you can recall your dreams they will be of fear or lust or anger if spirits are in the home.
It is good that your daughter has alerted you to this fact that there are spirits in the home. Also your dog can see spirits ,most can. Watch your animal as he sits and see if he follows objects around the room with his eyes. These are always spirits.

Can you provide any evidence to back up your claims? Is there any documented evidence that children can see spirits? Is there any proof
That spirits have only one purpose; to instill fear?

If you believe in spirits that's fine, but please don't state something as a fact unless there is conclusive proof.

Hi Lee,

No one is my family has ever seen any spirits. No one I know has ever seen spirits. Therefore we can only conclude that they do not exist.

I believe you...

I too have seen some of the unexplained as a child and as an adult. I did experience more as a child though. I think it's because I was more pure and as you know a child knows no evil.

I believe, not everyone else does.

To each his own...

What is the definition of "pure" here?

What is the definition of "pure" here?

I believe that a child has more innocence than an adult. I believe that adults have more sin then children. I believe that a child's mind is not tainted like an adult.

For example, just the other day I took my 4 year old to the park and he saw a grasshopper in the field next to the swing sets. He was crouched down looking at it, when 3 other little children ran up to see what he was looking at. Just before you know it, all of them were crouched together. All 4 kids' faces were, I want to say inches away from each other. While I stood there watching I thought to myself, these kids are all in eachothers bubble space. Lol Also, these other children, who did not know my son, by the way, approached him, in a trustful way, and followed his lead.

See, that is what us abults think of.

So, you see, a child is more pure than an adult in the mind.

leebeef finds this helpful : Documented by who

By anyone! I'm not saying that spirits or ghosts are not real. I am also sure the people who have said they have seen them truly believe they have. What I'm saying is that, until and unless someone can provide documented evidence that spirits truly exist then we are in the realm of belief and faith, not fact.

If you want to provide answers that say;" I beleive that children are more sensitive..." or "I beleive that what I've seen is ghosts.." or "I beleive that spirits can do...", then I can have no objection. But when you make a statement that; "It is a fact that children are sensitive..." then I have to ask where is your evidence other than "I as a child seen spirits..."

I believe that a child has more innocence than an adult. I believe that adults have more sin then children. I believe that a childs mind is not tainted like an adult.

For example, just the other day I took my 4 year old to the park and he saw a grasshopper in the feild next to the swing sets. He was crouched down looking at it, when 3 other little children ran up to see what he was looking at. Just before you know it, all of them were crouched together. All 4 kids' faces were, I wanna say inches away from each other. While I stood there watching I thought to myself, these kids are all in eachothers bubble space. lol Also, these other children, who did not know my son, btw, approached him, in a trustful way, and followed his lead.

So, you see, a child is more pure than an adult in the mind.That's a cool story because I do the same things with my young kids and I'm part of it too. What you are calling "pure" here I call "never losing your sense of wonder" and adults as well as children can have it. Of course that has nothing to do with seeing imaginary spirits.

Lee, I been waiting for your answers for months!

Here is one of the links to get you started in case you forgot.
I am anxious!

I believe.

I have experienced it.

But those who give opinion and speculation as fact , to people who truly need help not bull$hit ,
And especially when it is used to exploit money from them, need their world rocked.

My attorney advises me not to define what I mean by "need their world rocked"

That's a cool story because I do the exact same things with my young kids and I'm part of it too. What you are calling "pure" here I call "never losing your sense of wonder" and adults as well as children can have it. Of course that has nothing to do with seeing imaginary spirits.


You have your beliefs and I have mine.

I would never push what I believe on anyone. Not saying you are, I am just clearly agreeing with the OP, because I believe the OP. I too have seen things. Now was I imagining it as a child? Maybe. Did I imagine it as an adult? No way. I saw what I saw.

I too know what I have experienced, and seen, and heard.

I cannot prove it to anyone nor care to try.
If I am thought of as a liar, I don't care. I know what I am and could care less what others think about me.

It doesn't matter what something is called , be it ghost, spirit, demon, entity, or anything else.
There are things that we cannot prove or explain that happen all day every day all over the world that need to be studied and at least gain some understanding in order to help people that really need it.

It is not right to tell someone their problem doesn't exsist because you have not seen it or experienced anything like this , and the general opinion is it is imagined or mistaken (which it may be).

But there are many ways people can be shown that can help them get answers or at least find out what it isn't.
Look for causes other than paranormal causes first. Stay objective and keep an open mind.
Explaining things like this,

Many things happen that cannot be explained.

Many more strange things happen that can be explained by logical, rational thought and investigation.

What appear to be shapes and figures can be reflected lights or dust in the air or any number of things.

The fields electric currant emit can affect how we feel and make you uneasy.
Variation in the power supply to your house can cause appliances to do things they normally don't.

When we get scared we perceive things differently than we do when we are not scared.
When you look for answers , start by eliminating "reasonable possibilities"
And probable things, and work your way to "No reasonable source or cause.


This is the tip of the iceberg and simplistic but people with beliefs that are causing them problems , and making them afraid deserve help in some way other than being told what they experienced isn't real or was imagined or is a mental problem.

90% of what is first thought to be paranormal can be broken down and shown to be normal stuff.
But during this process people can have their lives made a shambles and be terrified constantly.

These people need help. Not ridicule .

I have had people "explain" to me what I saw, and how it happens.
You have no idea how insane it is to hear someone explain to me what I saw, when they weren't there and know nothing first hand.

I think I may have started a rant I should stop now.
This is a sensitive subject for me.

I am not singling anyone out or wanting to cause problems or opening a debate.

I'm just sayin',.

I agree with all of this. I think it's safe to say that you and I are on the page here.

I don't think that you have started a rant. You were stating your opinion and that's all. Nothing wrong with that.

I just happen to believe what the OP is saying.
