Answer 1

If the ghost is friendly, then there is nothing to worry about.

Normal children often have an imaginary friend. And they grow out of it when they get older.

Here is an article about why children have an imaginary friend and suggestions for parents how to deal with it:

At 5 yrs you could have a combo thing going. Children this age can see spirits, because they haven't had it smashed into them that they don't exist, and then there is the blaming someone else for deeds that shouldn't be done.
If you have been talking about the spirits, she may have a good scapegoat, but at times, who knows? If they are her kind of drawings and such this could be the case. If they are totally different I would be careful of her feelings. My nephew used to come play with my daughter and she would tell me about it at the same age. Thing is, he died when she was one month old and I didn't talk to her about him as I didn't know how to explain it. I was waiting till she got a bit older. I would tell her that the ghosts or her "friends" aren't allowed to do the same things she can't. This will cover either possibility.
Something else that could be going on is a connection with others like her. From 3yrs to 5yrs I had a friend that I told my mom all kinds of things about. She was tribal, so we figure she was from South America or Africa. We didn't have a television and couldn't afford books at the time, so all my info about her and her family came from this girl. I told how her mom cooked in baskets in a hut, how they made the fire, the games, etc. My mom was pretty sick for alot of this time, so the conclusion we came too was that two lonely girls somehow psychically connected for a time. When my brothers got old enough to play with me, my friend disappeared. Never underestimate the power of the mind.
Please, please ignore the narrow minded people that say she is possesed!So many freak out if they don't understand or agree with something. There is nothing wrong with what your daughter is going through.

I wouldn't really worry. It might just be an imaginary friend. Or maybe she knows she'd be in trouble, so she makes it up. Children may be naive, but when it comes to getting into trouble, most kids would do just about anything to get out of it. When I was little, I used to tell my parents that I saw the paint man in my room. Later I learned that there was a man that lived in my house that was an artist who died in the house. I didn't know that when I was younger. Maybe younger kids are just more preceptive to stuff. I'm not saying ghosts are real or anything, but you never know. I made it out with no problems, but try not to worry about it. It's probably nothing.

Many people, myself included, believe that children can see things adults cannot, like ghosts or spirits. Childredn are pure of heart and open minded because they havent experienced enough to become cynical or closeminded to things that cant be explained in normal ways. My kids have seen spirits of their grandparents after they died , and they were not afraid because they knew the spirits would not harm them. When my 19 yr old was 2 yrs old he walked unto my bedroom one night holding the hand of this beautiful little girl. I freaked because I could see right thru her but my son was so happy to show me his new"friend" and she reassured me she meant him no harm. It was pretty weird. As for the writing on the wall, if it looks like her writing explain that she doesnt need to lie , just know its wrong and have her clean it up. If its not her writing tell her to tell the ghost her mother doesnt approve and to stop it or her mother will tell the ghost to go away. If you twll them to go, they will. Dont worry though,. Ask her to ask the ghost some questions and see what she says. Also, go on Sylvia Browns website and she can explain it better thab I can. Good Luck abd tell you ghost I said Hi.

Answer 5

Yes they have imaginary friends or ghosts , it shows a great and active imagination. They always grow out of this phase ...I don't know any teens or adults that keep their imaginary friends. It is a good thing they are friendly. ...Did the ghost that has left forever coincide with someone in her life leaving? I try never to discredit my childs imaginary friends. If they are school age and blame the imaginary friend ...then you have to let them know that you know.

Answer 6

if they are friendly ghosts then dont worry . it may sound serriously weird but when i was little i was best freinds w/ angles ( friendly ghonst) some people may/ will not believe me but i know that they were real. little kids can see stuff that others usually will not. it may seem really weird but ur daugher is fine. the friendly ghosts are just angles watching over her. if they were bad ones i may start to worry. i'm sure everything will be fine. hope this helps. just know that u r blessed n have angles watching over her. think about it this way at least ur daughter has someone/thing watching over her in this crazy world. good luck.

Answer 7

Children's innocence is such a beautiful gift at that age and whether it be true or her imagination let her enjoy it. If she started to have nightmares or adopt harmful behaviour then seek professional advice. Most children have imaginary friends to play with anyway, so lets just hope that enjoys this special time as a little 5 year old girl.

Answer 8

This is NOT good! Your daughter is under satanic attack and it's only a matter of time before this influence will attempt to possess her permanently, (among other things I'm not going to go into here)! You need to get her, (and yourselves), to a qualified Christian counselor that is familiar with this and it's proceedures! You all need to become aware and "educated"!!!
If you don't want to believe me, then at least do your own research, (through books like "Occult Invassion" by Dave Hunt or "This Day We Fight!" by Francis Frangipane!, or any one of hundreds of others out there), before it's too late!!! Your daughter's life is in serious danger... and you're responsible for her welfare and up-bringing!!
I'll give you a hint on the source of her problem - it came down through either her mother's or father's side of the family through some form of dabbling in something to do with witchcraft or the occult!

Answer 9

WOW!!! I honestly believe that your daughter is seeing a spirit(s). Children have a very strong sense of the spiritual side of things, since they are so close to it, more so than adults as they were born later and not so attuned to spirituality because of everyday stresses and such. I know of a little girl whose mother passed when she was a 3, obviously at that age the child had no concept of her mothers death or even what death was, yet my friend would comfort the child who would be screaming at the top of her lungs "mommy" and pointing..so I do believe that your daughter is seeing a spiritual being (the little girl is my step daughter..my husband, her father, told me this incident)

Answer 10

Why not...?Listen, you dont have to worry about it. Young children very often imagine things which with a little fantasy seem to be true...

Though, there have been many researches which in many occasions have proved that ghosts still exist...you dont have to be afraid, especially since your ghosts are friendly...!!!
