My family and I have lived in an apartment for about 2 years now. About 4-5 months ago or so my 4 year old son started to talk about ghosts and that his friend is a ghost that lives in his bedroom. I would sometimes catch him talking to himself as if he was talking to someone else next to him. He seemed fine, and I thought it was just an "imaginary" friend that some children make up to keep them company. Or maybe he was just watching too much Scooby Doo. But during the last few weeks or so he has become terrified of 'his ghosts'. He refuses to go into his room to sleep or to play anymore, says the ghosts will get him. He is afraid to even go up there to grab a toy unless I am with him. I am unsure what to believe in, or what I should tell him to ease him other than "nothing is going to hurt you". Any thoughts? Anything helpful would be much appreciated.
