Well, you can call me crazy, but I'm a firm believer in ghosts/spirits, whatever you want to call them. I've never seen one, but that doesn't mean they aren't there. I just believe that there are two plains, one for the living, and one for those who have passed to come at peace with their lives. Those who are stuck in between are the ghosts we are familiar with.
I'm also a firm believer in reincarnation. After those spirits who have spent their time in the second plain, they are reborn as someone completely different, and don't have any memory of their formal lives.
I think the reason why I believe this isn't because I'm crazy, but because it's easier to believe that there is something more after this life. No one can say for sure what happens to a soul after the body dies, but it has been scientifically proven that a soul holds weight and therefore is real. (Sorry, I don't have any links to the information and am not even sure where I heard that.)
I'm not saying this isn't a case of "ghosts" here, but the fact the child woke up at such a strange hour, got straight up and walked in and then started talking about seeing things, leans very heavily in the direction of still being under the effects of sleep imagery, which can include hallucinatory effects of all senses - there really isn't any way he had nearly enough time to have transitioned from "asleep" to "awake" if your room was anywhere close to his, if it only took a minute or two for his trek.

Comments: When I was 19 I picked up a book by Edgar Cayce to learn about opening up my abilities because I had often encountered strange things I saw or felt. Let me tell you it was a bad idea. For a sensitive (so to speak) to learn to meditate could be very dangerous as I found out. Three weeks into learning how to do it I fell asleep while meditating and every day after that for months I had nightmares. Even when I wasn't asleep I was even more sensitive than ever before. Basically I would dream things just common things about friends or family and they came true. I would see things in my room and around my house like never before. When I did go to speak to my parents they saw how much sleep I wasn't getting. They basically would hear me in the middle of the night speaking a language they had never heard before. My mother recorded this and took me to to see a doctor for a sleep study. He had me there for two days watching my every move on camera. When he played it back for our family I was sitting straight up while asleep talking in a strange language. When he took it to language specialist they said it was latin. Now I am no Catholic so Latin never crossed my mind. Ever! I told the doctors what started it all and he said I needed to see a pastor. Finally after a week I went to the church with my mom. The pastor came in and did a blessing and taught me some prayers. To this day I still say them before sleeping. I don't have near the same amount of nightmares anymore and the ones I do have are about my time in Iraq and Afghanistan but wow. I just hope that if my 11 month old son gets this issue I can help him understand because to be honest I still see things that others don't and I am worried he will be told not to believe things even if they are really there and none sees them but him.

Comments: I use to see ghosts (jins or spirits) when I was little,one of them pulled my hair.Until a few months ago I thought I use to dream these things but I'm positive I didn't. It does say that babies are pure with no sin but you are not a baby at 6 and yet you can see ghosts. I most of the time also get the feeling of DeJaVu

Comments: I have a two year old daughter who said she saw a man starring at her in our bathroom with no one there. I didn't see anything but she had been crying hysterically. I come to find out this "man" stomped his feet at her. She says she is scared and seen him on our living room. She talks about it to her Nana over and over. What could it have been?

Comments: My best friend lost her husband in 2007. Two weeks later she found out she was pregnant. Soon after found out it was the boy her husband always wanted. He is now three and doesn't speak real good,but always tells his mom when hes in trouble that his daddy said to leave him alone or hes gonna whoop her. He's constantly talking to someone alone in his room,but is alone. This is a little boy that never knew his daddy. Could he be seeing his daddy?
