My 2 year old nephew gets spooked by things that only he happens to see in his home. He sees an old man in a corner of a room, and he only sees him in the same exact spot. He also sees a cow (yes, a cow) in my sister-in-laws bedroom. Again, in the same spot. I guess there was a hobby farm in that location many years ago. Has anyone ever heard of this phenomena? My sister-in-law is beginning to get freaked out by this as my nephew is pretty insistant that these things are there.

It has been said that kids who see spirits..are able to , because
they don't have a preconcieved notion of how life is supposed to
be. They are innocent. Their minds are open. A bumblebee is
not supposed to be able to fly...yet it does,..it doesn't know it
isn't supposed to be able to. I myself have experienced many
many paranormal things, but myself and my ex- had to live in a
haunted house...I was very afraid, because I did not understand
it only wanted our attention. He was with me a few times, when
certain things would happen. Yes , it IS true, for people who
have never experienced anything paranormal, ie., something
other than the ordinary,..every day life. I'll tell you, it IS true...

Look. What you say is to be taken very serious. That he sees a cow is not bad, because that means plenty of food (milk). But seen an old man in a corner, could be the prelude to a poltergeist.
Have a psychic to visit your home to check if there is a hostile entity around. There are some psychics that help police in their crime investigations and would gladly help you out.

Cool!!! Sorry, probably not that cool for them but I'm a paranormal freak. Children have been known to see thing adults cannot, including ghosts, and for this reason the spirit is somewhat attracted to children. After the child gets older this will probably stop. Most people pass this off as just kids being kids but there may be more to it here's a good web site about ghosts and various methods of spirit detection.

While some people believe that small children see things that others would assume are not there, it has never been proven.
The child should be checked by a licensed psychologist.
Also, try taking pictures of the areas where he claims to see things. See if things show up in the pictures that are not normally there, i.e, smoke, lights, etc.

Yes. these tend to be place memories, or rote spirits. In both cases, the spirit does the same thing over and over, without ever interacting with people who are living. Eventually they fade away.
Children are much more prone to see these things because they've not yet convinced themselves these things don't exist.

It's possible as small children are more open to things like that, but it could also just be an overactive imagination. The cow part is making me think more of an overactive imagination.

little children are particularly sensitive to spirits around themProbably by their sheer innocence of life .Often littleones are told that they are being silly or making things up...but no..your nephew is not making it up.You could have a paranormal expert come in and see if there is energy around..but you know..if nothing bad is happening..just leave it go..your nephew wont see them anymore one day likely.If he does still see them as he grows older then he should be educated on these mysteries .

Sometimes light waves are trapped in a specific spot for unknown reasons and periodically resurface. Kind of like a mirage.

They just made a movie about that (kids seeing ghosts and stuff) called "The Messengers" and they mentioned that a lot of the cases were unexplainable. Also, if you've ever seen Ghost Hunters, a lot of freaky sh** happens. It might be his imaginary friends...maybe?

try to do an electronic voice recording. just leave a digital recorder running or ask questions into it in those spots. Then play it back to see if you caught any thing
