Children seeing ghost?

Question

My daughter swears there is something in this house. We've only lived here a month. I thought it was just going to take time for her to get used too. But that is defiently not the case. She comes and gets in our bed and i make her get back in hers but then shell come back and hide and sleep under our bed. This morning i found her sleeping in the bathroom floor with the light on and the door locked. She said something "black" was calling her name and telling her to come out. I admit ive heard some weird stuff and went to check it out and found nothing. What should i do for her?

Oh and my daughter is going on 5 she doesnt watch scary movies ever.

She draws pictures of it but you really cant tell what it is. She said hes scary and when i tell her she has to sleep in my room she says shes too scared. I really dont want her sleeping under our bed...or in the bathroom!!

SOrry i meant in her room not my room.

she has a night light in her room and a radio. I turn the radio off when i get up in the morning but when i go back upstairs its always on and then i tell her to turn it off and she slike didnt turn it on. and she gets all mad at me

Answer 1

Find a church with a good pastor and have your house prayed over for starts and teach her that all she has to do is say In Jesus name go away. And tell her why. That Jesus is her savior and that he came to give her life. That what she is seeing is evil, clearly or it wouldn't scare the poor kid half to death. And Jesus is good and that he will come to rescue her if she calls on him. Teach her to say Jesus's name and pray with her. Pray over her and for her. And until then allow me:

Dear Father it is in your presiouse son's name that we come, Jesus Christ, and we ask for you to place a speacial coocon of protection around this family and thier home. We pray father that you send a hundred angels to guard them in their sleep and in their waking hours. I pray father that you reveal to them your truth so that they may accept you and know you. I pray Father that whatever is in their home that send it on its way and allow them to rest in peace and to praise your holy name. I pray that you place your angels to guard them and to protect them to fill every nick and corner of their home and hearts with your love and grace.

In Jesus Name we thank you and praise you. Amen Amen Amen.

First off, do you believe in ghosts? Probably not. Ghosts will be there, even if you dont believe. As adults we tell ourselves there are no such things as ghost, monsters, etc. Don't ignore you child when she says she sees something. Have you tried sleeping w/ her in her room or by yourself? She seems really scared and you shouldnt have her face this alone. She is only 5. Just b/c you dont believe or dont see anything doesnt mean it's not there. Most people have to see w/ their own eyes before
they believe. Whatever, everyone has their own opinion. I came from a home where it is still haunted to this day. You say you have heard some things, so why not believe your daughter. If you can I'd look up someone to come take a look at the house asap. Believe your daughter, cause there will be a time when you start to see it too and you will want someone to believe you.

Answer 3

Wow, that sounds real creepy. As much as I like to keep an open mind to the paranormal, I always try to side with science and medicine first.

A couple of things you have to ask yourself are:

1) How traumatic on her was this move to your new home? You said you have only lived there a month. Was this a move to a different state where everything is foreign to her of are you still in the same neighborhood where she can still see her friends. Obviously, the house is new to her and even more so, is her new room. These are things that could make a child "act out" and create imaginary things.

2) I think I know the answer to this, but Has she ever done anything like this in the past? I would think not, but this includes imaginary friends, animals, anything that she makes up in her mind and believes it to be true. This is common among children this age and can be very beneficial.

3) Is there anything else going on, in her life, that may be causing stress in her life? Children handle stress in a much different way than adults do. This move alone may have created enough stress to strike a reaction in her, but if there is anything else that may be happening along with the move, it may just be compounding the amount of stress that she is feeling, and causing this reaction.

Finally, she is obviously scared and that is not a good thing. Comfort her, talk to her about it, pray with her (if that is part of your everyday routine) about it. I don't think that I would start praying with her just because of this. Praying is something that she may not understand and cause even more confusion. God and Jesus are intangables to her, meaning, it is not something that she can experience using her senses, and that again, may cause confusion. Instead of having her try to sleep with you in your bed, or under the bed, or in a locked bathroom (which, in itself, is dangerous), why don't you try sleeping with her in her room. If her bed is too small, then make a sleep out and use sleeping bags. Make a party of it. Include anyone else that lives in the house. Once she feels comfortable, I think that she will start sleeping in her room by her self. It may not happen over night though........give it time. Another trick, is to make sure that you completely tire her out before going to bed, just not to the point of over-tiredness. If she can "hit the pillow" and go right out, that will help her also.

I will not rule out something of the paranormal going on, but chances are, this is just her way of coping with this change in her life.

One last thought, children have a tendency to exagerate. This black thing that is scarring her could be nothing more that a mouse or a rat. I would check for critters in the house also.

Hope this helps...........

Answer 4

here are some suggestions:

1. Everytime she sees the "black" thing, tel her too call you so you can show her there is nothing there (if that is the case)

2. Phycologist!

3. Let her sleep with you for a few nights and talk to her about it

4. Tell her to pray before going to sleep

5. Move (my best suggestion)

6. Sleep in her room for 1 or 2 nights and show her that nothing is there

7. Make sure she is not watching anything on tv that would relate to that

8. A nightlight will help a lot!!!

i hope that this will go away soon...i truly do! if you need anything else, just add things to the question. I will check back!

sincerely,

Answer 5

Hmmm... First, I'd sleep with her and see if you can encounter the entity. It's possible for just her to notice, though I've never heard of a situation where there are multiple people in the room and only one person sees the ghost, you never know.

Next, go to someone who knows how to cast out demons. Ghosts are actually demons appearing as people and sometimes they'll give you the image or sound.

Then, If the demon is cast out, get rid of items that attract demons, mainly occult items such as tarot cards, ouija boards, magic sets, dream catchers, demonic symbols, etc.

If all else fails, and after a few weeks she doesn't admit that she's trying to get attention, move. A 5-year-old would probably give it away by then, anyway. The demon may have also returned.

Oh. And there's one more thing you must do no matter what, even if the demon is gone. It's called "Salvation" and it can be simple. First, realize that if you die in your sins (evil things, which everybody has) without Jesus, you're going to end up in hell, a place of eternal torment, fire, and brimstone and it will be worse than anything you will experience in this world. Next, realize that you have sinned but you can be saved from hell. It's putting all your faith in Jesus Christ and believing that he paid the price for your sins. Note: even demons believe this stuff and there's one other thing you must do to be saved, and demons won't do this. It's called repentance. Repentance is turning from your evil ways and seeking to Obey the Lord.

If you realize that you are a sinner, Put your faith in Jesus to save you, Invite him into your heart, and turn from your evil ways, you will be saved. However, you will still probably sin and your sins can be forgiven. However, if you choose to do bad things, you didn't really repent.

You must accept and believe everything in the above paragraph to be saved from hell.

Also, you should pray this prayer with all your heart. Prayer is conversation with God. God is omnipresent (everywhere), and if you pray it with all your heart, he'll hear it.

Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I don't want to go to hell. I invite you into my heart and I believe that you died for all sins. I put my faith in you, Jesus and I will turn from what I know is evil and seek to follow you. In Jesus' name, Amen.

If you did what I told you to get saved from hell, Hallelujah! To seek God, I would start by reading the Bible. You can buy a copy at many bookstores, especially Christian ones.

God bless you and I pray that everything goes well.

Answer 6

Goodness thats creepy! I use to see things when I was little and my Mom never believed me. I would say not to encourage it, but not to discourage it either. Find a happy middle, and just comfort her when she's scared. So that she doesn't think you think shes fibbing.

Maybe try sleeping in her room with her so she doesn't feel like she has to leave the room when she gets frightened. That way when she sees it you may be able to find out if there is a reasonable explaination. There could be a million different things (including here imagination) that could be frightening her. Maybe it is just the anxiety of sleeping in a new room?

My son did something similar when we moved into our new house. Suddenly there were monsters in his closet. We never allow him to watch scarey movies, and I even filter out those stupid scarey cartoons. So we weren't sure how he came up with it. But my husband fixed it by making a joke out of it. One night My son came out and told us there were monsters, so my husband went in the closet and wrestled them out. (He fought the stuffed animals) While my son and I sat on the bed and watched. After that we explained there were no such thing as monsters, and they were just silly buisness. Since then he hasn't been scared at all.

As far as you hearing things, I would say that your stessing out about her being scared is making your imagination run wild. A new house comes with new sounds, and new quirks. Give it a few months and you wont even notice them!

Good Luck!


Oh and moving is probably not going to help. All it will do is put a dent in your wallet and start everything over again. She will be even more disturbed that she had to move twice, and then it will do nothing but prove to her that something WAS there.

Answer 7

I would suggest prayer. That and leaving a light on in her bedroom. If you have a nice little community church that you go to or know people that go to one, go to the church and speak with the pastor about this issue. A lot of people will probably say your daughter is making it up, she's imagining it or she's just a a fraidy cat. This something you don't want to ignore or take lightly. please take her to church and talk to them about it. These things do happen and they are real despite what others might say. I know of people that have gone through similar experiences as well as myself and my sister. I'm not a weirdo or anything , my sister and i don't practice witchcraft or anything but we've had the same thing happen to us when we were kids. I used to be scared to use the bathroom at night and would never go alone. My mom finally took me to church and now that I'm older i'm not afraid as much anymore. You don't want her to grow up afraid to sleep in the dark. I'm 21 years old and I cannot sleep in the dark I get paranoid because of the things I used to hear and see at her age. Let your daughter know that she's safe and that you'll never let anything happen to her.

Answer 8

I'd believe her. Children don't make up this kind of stuff. A year ago, I was sitting on the toilet, and my puppy let himself into the room, he was whining. I looked up, and just the torso of an old man, in a dirty white T-shirt, drifted past the doorway heading to the kitchen. That night, even tho i hadn't told anyone what I'd seen. My son told my husband and I, that an old man keep coming into his room at night, and pulling the covers off him. I had an Indian friend of mine bless the house and burn tobacco and put silver knives above the door. We haven't seen any ghosts since.

Answer 9

I would not dismiss her fears. Sometimes children are able to see and hear things we are not, especially things from the spiritual world. You should look into the history of the house and see if anything bad has happened there. Even if your daughter isn't seeing a spirit, she might sense or just get a bad vibe from the house if something terrible happened there. Seriously, I would think about moving. Good Luck.

Answer 10

toddlers are maximum appropriate to spirits they have organic hearts and that they've not been taught that ghosts are real or no longer real, i in my opinion do have self belief. My nephew observed ghosts whilst he became into youthful, my niece sees her grandfathers, and now my daughter sees issues besides. I even have not had the could desire to be bothered together with her seeing those issues, none have imposed any fright upon her. I do have self belief that your toddler could desire to be seeing some thing it quite is horrifying him/her. no count if it is taking that impact on him/her it incredibly is a meanicing spirit and that i could have some one come out on your place to help flow the spirit on, somebody evoked that spirit to waken and now regrettably your toddler is the single that is seeing it and inflicting them to be scared. because your toddler would not be attentive to the language of cree, they could have had to picked it up someplace. stable success to you in getting this spirit returned to take a seat back or to a place the place it would not hardship your toddler anymore.

Answer 11

That sounds scary. I suggest that whenever she sees/hears the "black" thing again to quickly check out the spot where she encountered it. If this continues to the point where she insists on sleeping with the light on in the bathroom, I would get someone to check up on the house or...move.
