children and ghosts?

Question

My daughter a year ago was able to see 2 boys and a girl in our apartment. She to this day will not sleep alone. She is 4 years old. This started over 2 years ago. She was able to locate them all and describe what they were wearing. Is there anybody who have had children experience this and how was it dealt with?

Answer 1

My two year saw what she described as the "blue man". She said he was nice but was scary. She would talk to him and I could hear over the babay monitor that she was talking to someone but no one was with her. Occasionally I heard a mumbled answer that I could not quite understand. The only thing that we ever understood that was said was my grandmother's name. This happened right after the elderly gentleman that my grandmother was taking care of died. My daughter had met him and he had given us the bed that she sleeps in. We figured out that he wanted her to know that he was okay and that she could let go of him so that he could move on. As soon as we figured this out and told her he stopped appearing to my daughter. She does not even remember it now.

Answer 2

i don't have kids since I'm only 12 but my uncle died about 2 years ago and i use his room now. my aunt and i re-painted it and got new sheets and blankets 2 put on the bed. my uncle always used 2 wear dark blue work clothes (he had 1 for every day of the week) and every now and then when I'm trying 2 go 2 sleep i will see a dark blue floating orb right by the foot of my bed. it doesn't scare me but nobody believes me except 4 my little sister but that's because she can see it 2. it does scare my sister though so i have 2 let her lay in bed with me sometimes until she falls asleep then i carry her into her room a lay her on her bed. if there was somebody that died in your apartment b4 u moved in then it could be ghosts but otherwise my guess is its just imaginary friends that your daughter is afraid of 4 some unknown reason.

Answer 3

probably imaginary friends, except that she seem scared of them if she can't sleep alone now. story i read in local paper, some guy said his parents knew a couple with a kid with terminal cancer who had an "imaginary friend" who he called by first and last name, then at that kid's funeral they noticed the grave next to his was the same as the imaginary friend, eerie! really though, your daughter probably had bad dreams and/or has other issues that she doesn't want to sleep alone, if it's going on two years then consult a therapist, talk with her more about it to figure it out, and/or just wait it out.
