My little nephew said he was talking to some one the thing is this person he is referring to is dead.?

Question

he is just 4 year old so we know his not making it up and he never meet him he also refers to him by his birth name which we never use since when we talk about him we use his nick name. He told us he talks t him and he plays with him and that he told him he is going to protect him and his little brother (my other nephew). The are living in the house that us to be his but is nit like he died there was happening. What should we do?

Answer 1

THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL GIFT FOR YOUR FAMILY... ESPECIALLY IF HE SAID HE WILL PROTECT THEM... JUST BE HAPPY THAT SOMEONE FROM THE PAST IS LOOKING OVER YOUR FAMILY !!!

Answer 2

Hmmm.....

Okay here's some food for thought. Does this sort of thing run in your family? Do you know of any other family members who have had experiences like this?

Are you sure there is no way your nephew couldn't have heard about the deceased from another family member. Little kids pick up the darnedest things.

So if you've ruled out every reasonable possibility and you honestly believe he's seeing an entity here's some helpful advice. Does it make sense for the deceased to say he'd stay around to protect a child? By this I mean was this person a caring one who would do something like that? If not, it's kinda odd. There is always the chance the spirit ISN'T your relative. Names mean allot to entities and if this isn't your relative then talking to, acknowledging or encouraging this could be a BAD IDEA. A name is power and spirits like people can lie so be careful. Also showing themselves in this manner IE talking AND interacting takes up a great deal of energy so he's either strong or drawing all his energy from your nephews.
I would not say anything to the children but keep a watchful ear and eye on them. Maybe keep a journal about what happens to determine if there's a pattern and decide how to precede from there.
If you are uncomfortable have your house blessed. Sometimes something as simple as painting a room or doing some home renovation can run off a spirit. You could do an exorcism but that involves addressing the spirit and challenging it. Sometimes this works, sometimes it only pi$$es it off so save it as a last resort. Plus if this is a family member then you may not want to kick him out.
Whatever you do, do NOT EVER use an Ouija board. If you are sorely tempted it is better to move then to use the board. Most magick shops don't even carry these boards because they are dangerous and using one may invite whatever entities that are in your local area to move into your house (and those kind of guests never pay rent or clean up after themselves just kidding) but seriously some are inhuman IE demonic so don't go there.

I hope that helps you. I'm sorry for the long answer. God bless and don't ever forget Jesus's name is powerful and darker spirits shy away from it so invoking him when you are scared or just asking him to watch over you will push away some entities. And yes this still works even if you don't go to church.

Answer 3

Best answer goes to - Sara! Read hers again, several times.

The dead person - was he a good guy to have around? Was he ok, or was he a bad guy in some way?If he was a good guy, I'd start relaxing a bit right there.

Do you have a religion? If you do, I would advise you to have your house and child blessed. Like Sara said, if you are cool with Jesus it is a powerful name to use. He won't mind even if you aren't religious, so long as your intentions are good.

Don't encourage your nephew, don't discourage him either. Don't make a big fuss about what he is saying, and don't tell him not to talk about it. Be neutral.

Have your house and child blessed regularly. You can do it yourself if you don't have someone to do it for you. Christian house blessing should be available on the net somewhere.

My brother spoke with dead people when he was a child. He is a very successful, smart happy guy these days.

A word on exorcism:
Exorcism is a horrendous activity which almost always causes serious psychological damage. There is no way your family or house would need an exorcism unless you have accidentally stumbled on something major which is NOT the case here. Don't listen to anyone who recommends it - it is dangerous in the extreme, and causes lifelong mental scarring.

You should be just fine. Now read Sara's answer again.

Answer 4

Is this person related to you? children have an open mind, and are more apt to be able to converse with the deceased, so I've heard. I use to babysit a little boy, whose grandfather died before he was born. and he would walk over to the stairs and just start talking to his grandfather. It never really bothered me. I think kids can really see the dead. and if it is a relative, the person is probably making sure everything is ok.
I wouldn't do anything, in case he starts saying things that alarm you. such as this person telling him to do something harmful. Everyone has angels, maybe this is his.

Answer 5

Don't do anything.
This child is finding comfort in his story somehow. He feels protected.
If you even mentioned this man's birth name once that would be enough for the child to pick it up. Children hear everything.
If he is playing positively with this 'ghost' don't worry about it.
Children are fascinated with death.
I had a student once whose mother died when she was 3 and she would go outside and 'play with her mother' and come inside later and tell her dad all about it. I know your story is different but even if children know the difference between their imagination and reality, they will still do what gives them comfort.
Maybe try and spend more real time with this boy and play games with him, make good eye contact when you talk to him. Praise him for playing nicely with his brother or friend.
Everybody has imaginary friends. I even had a friend who, as a child had an imaginary enemy.
There are over 6 billion humans on this planet the variations on 'normal' are vast. So don't worry too much about it. If he's 8 and still doing the same thing, maybe it's time to worry.

Answer 6

It sounds as though there is a spirit roaming around that house, and children sometimes have an uncanny sense of clairvoyancy. It sounds as though it's not causing any harm to the children, so probably the best thing for you to do, is let the child talk openly about this, and don't make a big issue out of it, especially in front of the child. Then, I'd discuss this with my Minister and see what he would advise.

Answer 7

This child is talking to that person. My daughter (who was 4 at the time) often talked to the thin air... talking to my ex-fiance who died. She said he would come to her and talk with her on her bed at night. She'd say things she couldn't possibly know about. There is no doubt in my mind that children see and talk to dead people. There is a thin line between our world and that of the dead, and children aren't predisposed to the idea that you shouldn't be able to cross this line. Without that preconceived notion, children don't know that talking to dead people is different or "wrong" in some way. Encourage your child to talk to this person! These things end too quickly, and the innocence of childhood fades... Ask your child questions about what they talk about, and write down the answers. You may find out some interesting information, and you will be encouraging that communication.

Answer 8

A friend of the family has a 3 year old son who talks and laughs with his 4 year old cousin all the time.

She died in a car accident almost a year ago.

Answer 9

What your nephew is saying is actually pretty common, an awful lot of kids have the ability to see people that have passed away. A little boy that I take care of has said similar things, and knows things that he just couldn't know about deceased people. I wouldn't do anything about it, it seems completely harmless.

Answer 10

My uncle 'met' his older brother who passed away 8 months before he was born. He told my grandmother some things about his brother that there was no way he could have known - such as his burial outfit.
I believe in the possibilty of what this child is saying.
Encourage him to talk without influencing what he says. It sounds like this was a trusted person - relative?- so I think they may just have a very special guardian.

Answer 11

They say that toddlers and baby can see what us adults can't, I often find my 7 month old looking into a corner of our living room, and giggling and smiling like she was playing with someone, We have my father- in- laws urn on my husbands desk, and sometimes we just think itis his sprirt, but, are noit for sure, I really wouldn't do anything about it, It is very natural for kids to do this, Hoeop you find your answer, good luck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
