Can imaginary friends be spirits of the deceased or angels?

Question

My 2 yr. old whispers about his imaginary friend (with the same name as my deceased nephew). All of this started the same week my ex-husband and father of my other two children was brutally murdered. He says things he should not know. I'm a little spooked.

Answer 1

My youngest was like that too.
I thought of it more as a gift than something spooky.

Kids have not been convinced that they can't talk to spirits so its not that difficult for them to do it. Tell him that its not possible and that will be the end of it.

Or see it for the gift that it is and have some fun with it. I did.

I'm not sure it will work out this way for you but you may be interested in something that my son said to me when he was three.

He started to talk in complete sentences at a very early age. I used to lay in bed and talk to him till he went to sleep every night.

One night he told me about something that had happened to him. It seemed odd so I ask when it had happened. He said it happened to me when I used to be big like you. I asked him to tell me about when he was big before. I explained that He had been a man before. Not a man like you, a lot older he said. He seemed very serious so I just let him talk and he told me about the place where the babies wait to be born. He said that he remembered the day he came to look at my wife and I to see if he wanted to have us as parents.

This story went on for several nights. I decided to see if he was making it up. So I asked him to tell me a story about something, and he was completely unable to fabricate even a simple story of two sentences. He could go on at length about things that had actually occurred, but he was not able to make anything up and tell it.

It sure made me think.

Answer 2

this can be a huge open question. the reply isn't all little ones see or have imaginary acquaintances. in spite of the indisputable fact that those that do in various of situations this is completely the youngster pretending. it rather is conventional. now and again the imaginary pal is real it rather is certain that's a ghost. not all little ones who've an imaginary pal is seeing a ghost like I already suggested this is completely pretend yet there are ghosts who're the invisible pal that the mum and father can't see in spite of the indisputable fact that the youngster does. i have self belief that's uncommon for a baby to confirm ghosts in spite of the indisputable fact that it rather is in simple terms my opinion. there is not any thanks to practice one way or different. )0(

Answer 3

No..... I think that imaginary friends are something that kids makeup when they are lonely. when I was little I was the only girl out of 5 kids. And I had an imaginary friend..... But I think it was because I was kinda lonely, i can't remember the exact age but when I was 6 years old I got a baby sister and I know after that I had no more imaginary friends.

Remember the younger you are the more imagination you have. But you don't know you sun could have heard things with out you knowing. and at that age kids repeat everything they've heard even if they don't know what it means.

Answer 4

The spirit of the dead is not real, when you die the Bible says that you are asleep until resurrection day - 1 Thessalonians 4. That is why we need a resurrection. Remember also the Bible also says that the dead knows nothing.

It might be angels but remember that there are fallen angels. Read Isaiah 8.

Answer 5

Probably. I've only heard the children can see dead people on Ghost Whisperer.

Answer 6

No, but angels and spirits are imaginary friends....

Your 2yo isnt really saying things he "should know." Its your mind that is perceiving that he is saying things he shouldnt know..... Its just you, not him. The mind plays tricks like that...

Answer 7

Imaginary friends are not deceased anything. They are imaginary friends.
