my 5yr old is seeing things?

Question

my son told me about 2 yrs ago about this "zappy zappa" that died ina house that blew up and was his brother. i thought, imaginary friend and hearing the news in his sleep. well lately he has been saying that he is sensitive. ??? i dont use that word for seeing ghosts, i call it the shinning just like the movie. he says no one toldhim this is wahat it is called. he said they get mad and scare him sometimes. i am wondering if heis scitzo or should i take this more seriously? when he was 3 my husband fell asleep and he got out he was found a couple blocks away from our home. he walked the police back to our house. we hadnt lived there long , he shouldnt have known the way. especially walking. what do u think?

Answer 1

Well it sounds like to me he is going to be one of those people that may see ghost, and they may come to him, to get some help. Well a three year old can be very smart, and only being a couple blocks from the house, he might of been paying attaction to the things he saw along the way as he was leaving the house. Childern look at the world a lot different then we do. If you could look though the eyes of an innocent child's eyes, you would be amazed how different, and how wonderess things look to them. Until they are abused , or hurt really bad in some way, they usually see the beauty of the things that we take for granted. It has been said that most small childern, can see spirits at that age, some of the grow out of it, while others, continue to see them. If you are getting that concerned about him, well just take him to a doctor, and have a talk about it with him and the doctor and your and your husband. Then go from their. Sometimes there are sprits in your home, and you need a holy man to come in and clear them out. I have known people that have had that done, and then their child did not have anymore problem.
But still it is up to you, if you think that your son has like a sixth sense, which is known for a fact you can have. Or if you think that he is haveing some kind of problem than it is time to take him to see someone, and find out. So i wish you the best with this........

Happy Hoildays

Answer 2

I doubt he has any serious mental illness, he either has a very good imagination or is indeed sensitive to spirits and other things around him. As far as remembering where he lived, he must be very intelligent for his age for sure. If you are seriously concerned, definitely take him to a psychiatrist and have a talk with them about it, but I think a surprising number of kids have this occur to them because when I was little I had several run-ins with ghosts, one was my sister's old dog which had been dead for about two years, the other was my friends' grandfather, he stood at the foot of my bed, then walked out and shut the door. The other one was someone I didn't know, but that one scared the crap out of me. I hope this question gets resolved soon, I definitely put it on my watchlist and there are a bunch of good answers on here so far.

Answer 3

This could be a psychological problem, neurological, or maybe he has some gift, or maybe his imagination is extremely big...I would suggest to go speak to a psychologist/psychiatrist and see maybe they'll find the problem and a solution, but running all kinds of test on your son could scare, maybe before you do that, keep an eye on him...Check what he's watching, who he may come in contact with, or maybe you can get some cheap cameras and check what he does when he's alone, children are very smart and like copying things they see and here, so maybe that could be it, but I'm no one to judge. If you feel like non of these things help or give you answers, contact a psychologist. Good luck.

First of all believe in everything your child is telling you. There is
lots of people that don't believe in ghost, and that is what your
child is seeing. My daughters and grand-daughter and myself,
plus other family members all have experienced something out
of the ordinary. Back in 1991 I was sitting on my couch when I had my first experience. My daughters ball was rolling back
and forth by it's self and then I seen My jacket sleeve move up and down. And when my sister and my brother-in-law came by
I started to tell them my closet door opened and all the toys came
falling out of the shelves. Then when my other sister came to visit from out of town, I mention it to her and then that night she
seen the person walk right passed her then disappear in the
kitchen. Then my 16 (now 22) seen shadow in the kitchen, then
a light of some sort, that made her cry. Now this is year 2000
when that happened. A year later my 3 year old (now 10 yrs.)
seen a man standing in the closet door to find out this guy committed suicide before we moved in. Mined you my daughters
hunting place and my hunting place is two different places.
My grand-daughter was only 3 ( now only 4) and this is another
place that we live in and she was running like a chicken with out
a head and I was like whats wrong, come here she was tring to
find a place to hide. Anyways she asked me whom were the
man and the girl standing next to my hall way and I asked her
where she said that they had walked into my bedroom and for me to go check. From that moment on she has been scared
to come over to my place, this happened 2006 in the summer
time. That is why I said to listen to everything he tells you. The
Dr. can't do anything about the ghost. And people that don't
beleive can't help you either because they themselves hasn't
experinced it, so until they experinced it then ask away.
Till this day my daughers and I still experience the ghost thing
like standing on the beds while she on it. things falling down.
We learn to live with them. We just kind of get scared, but live
with them, they can't harm us. Just tell them rest in peace.
Then again now we don't know if it is my dad (thier Grandpa) he
passed 3-22-06.

Answer 5

children can see ghosts, Jesus, God, the dead, etc all cause of one reason.......they are innocent.

an old gf I was with had at the time a 3 yr old daughter. we had gone to the cemetery to put flowers and stuff on other relatives and out of the blue the little girl screamed and ran and hid in the car. we asked her what was up. she mentioned in detail the 3 kids that were standing next to one of the grave markers about 100 yards away.

thinking she was just nuts, my gf and I went over to the grave area to see what she might have seen, thinking a tree, a bag going by, etc. well we get there and we find the graves of 3 children.

its also why the Bible says all children are taken to heaven automatically...cause they are innocent. when you are innocent you can see things that the others no longer see due to not being innocent.

Answer 6

Children are very good at imagining things. He probably heard that word on TV.
About knowing the right way, since when did a good sixth sense become a sign of schizophrenia?
(I suppose having a sixth sense is not "normal" anymore -- they'll probably use that criteria next to label people as insane. What a silly attitude!)

Answer 7

did he see the movie the sixth sense b/c to me that reminds me of that movie
u should ask a physiologist
but i would make him go into more detail like what do they sound and look like
the police thing i think he thought the police could help him but my question is how does he know the way when he is 3 maybe

Answer 8

Your son is psychic and that is a gift from God. Ask him questions about what he sees, and pay close attention. This gift needs to be developed.

I recommend you read Sylvia Browne's books. She can be seen on The Montel Williams show on Wednesday mornings. She, too, grew up being psychic and fortunately for her, her Grandmother Ada was able to mentor her, and guide her.

Here is her website: http://www.sylvia.org

Answer 9

Sounds like no matter what's going on, you got one heck of a brilliant kid on your hands...and you need some answers sooner than later. If he's school age, school professionals, councillors might be able to help. They will definitely be able to determine levels of mental capabilities and such. Perhaps that would be a good starting point.

Answer 10

Who knows? Maybe you've got ghosts. Kids are supposed to be much more sensitive to things than adults are.

Who ya gonna call?
