So what about children who see ghosts that don’t feel as loving or as happy as Bunny? Some intuitives, especially children, are like sponges, absorbing the feelings of others because one of their talents is empathy. Being empathic however doesn’t mean that the feelings have to take over the child, scare them or make them tired. An empath’s gift can also be the greatest challenge. For help in working with intuitive children, see Psychic Children & Ghosts
First a story—Thirteen-year-old Ryan and his Dad, Leon, went camping over Father’s day weekend in the West Virginia mountains, staying within a campground. Ryan woke up in the middle of the night because he heard a rustling sound. When he sat up in bed, he saw two soldiers, dressed in Confederate uniforms talking to each other in low tones. Ryan heard their voices like distant murmurs, but the ghosts standing on air, in his tent, were as clear as his dad sleeping next to him. Ryan closed and opened his eyes three times, thinking he was dreaming, hoping the forms disappeared, yet seeing them each time.
Now Ryan was more fascinated than scared, concluding these Confederate soldiers were lost and determining which way to go, although Ryan couldn’t see their surroundings. He felt connected to them, concerned at their being lost, fretful that the ghosts were actually ghosts. He thought about talking to them. As soon as he had the thought, one soldier turned to him, staring directly at his face. The ghost knew Ryan was there, but the ghost then became afraid, like he sensed an enemy and needed to hide. The ghost’s stare in Ryan’s direction connected like electricity to Ryan’s gut and shot through his body like a lightning bolt. Immediately the ghosts disappeared, but Ryan was left with an intense fear in his gut. How can he handle this feeling, which grabbed his gut when he felt what the ghostly soldier felt?
Tomorrow – How Ryan shifted his mood.

My son has seen ghosts walk thru our house. He once saw a man with a knife sticking out of his chest, bleeding. My youngest daughter saw a neighborhood dog who was shot & killed come back into our house & she was all bloody. She asked me “why” did she look the way she did? We all knew that ‘Honey’ was shot & killed, so I explained to my daughter that Honey was probably showing her how she was killed (which is an idea that I took from the show “Ghost Whisperer”). My kids understand that some ghosts might NOT”know” that they’re dead. From watching the “Ghost Whisperer”, they also understand “why” they see ghosts the way they do, bloody, with knifes sticking out of their chests, or bullet holes in their head, etc.
Hi Darlene,
Thank you for the explanation of what your children see. I am wondering how your children first responded to seeing the blood and the knife. I found my children took such incidents in stride, and knew the difference between what they could see with their physical eyes and your what they saw in what we termed the nonphysical world. I think your explanations would benefit other parents also.
Thanks
My son told me of this incident right after it happened. His first initial reaction was to jump back a bit w/ a gasp & it gave him the creeps. This did NOT deter him from his abilities. His reactions was what it was cuz it was unexpected. If you were to ask him about it again, he’d shrug his shoulders. We always watch shows regarding ghosts, spirits, UFOs, the paranormal & we have lots of conversations, my kids have lots of questions & my kids continually tell me of their latest sights of ghosts, spirits, visions, dreams,etc. Talking about the paranormal is a normal, daily discussions in our house. We also do a lot of praying to Mother/Father God for help, protection, & understanding.
My kids know who Sylvia Browne, James Van Praugh, John Edwards & Chip Coffey are; we watch their shows all the time.
my child is 8 years old. she was born with hydrocephalus. she is also missing a little sliver of her brain.She acts very normal and does very good in school just like all her fellow students. She has always played with imagineary friends. Lately she has told me and my wife she is seeing dark shadows walking around and it seems to frighten her.
Her favorite imaginary friend is named africa. She seems obsessed with recording her own voice and then talking back to it. I have not seen anything but i cant help but wonder about this behavior. Am i just an over protective father or is there somthing there.
Hi Ed
When I check in, there is something there. I see that your daughter might be frightened as these are not the beings she usually sees, and their feeling seems heavier than the lighted beings she usually communes with. There isn’t any negative energy that would scare her, but they are different in contrast to the crowd your daughter intracts with. actually, she is quite clairvoyant.
I won’t go into detail here since this is your personal life. I can suggest we talk further. I have a free consultation coming up Wednesday evening, a confidential call for parents seeking help with their psychic children. Or you are welcome to schedule a private reading.
The recording of her voice and talking back to it is a good learning technique as her intellect and cognitive skills develop to improve her auditory processing skills in addition to developing neural pathways. The science of neuroplasticity, where the nerve pathways of the brains can develop new patterns do so in direct response to environmental stimulus. So I would say your smart daughter knows exactly what her mind and body need.
As a special education teacher years ago, I used a similar approach in teaching chlldren reading and language skills.
She does have a milk allergy however. Is she on milk now?
How else can I help you?
Hi,
has for years had a imaginary friend who plays with her and when things go missing ( or turn up in strange places) has told me that Gemma “did it” lately she told me that Gemma brings friends round but my daughter says that only 5 can come & play at once… is this the same child I see? Sombody connected to the house or to our family? Will my daughter grow out of this as a phase? regards Abi
Our family lives in a 1650 house and at various I smell pipe tabacco smoke in one room in particular, and occassionally lavender in a different room by the fire place, several times I have seen a child walking past a window, but the other day I saw the same child playing across the road.
My daughter (
Hi Abi
Caron here. Could you share your daughter’s first name and her age please? Also you are welcome to join me on Wednesday night’s call to discuss this n person if you wish.
I used to live in a house built on a burial ground and when I smelled tobacco in my home, I used to associate it with a native american medicine man. Pungent!!
Hi Caron,
My daughter is called Isabelle Rose when room tidying is needed but “Belle” for short. She is 8 and really sensible outgoing sort of girl, although just lately shes been worrying the Im going to leave her ( as in die & leave her), Ive reassured her that I havent got any plans to do this & tat I love her always…so Im hoping this is just ” one of those things” that children go through.
We live in a little english village opposite the church, this pipe tabaco smell kindof reminds me of my Great Grandpa when I was tiny! my hustband cant smell anything, not even when I call him into the room when the scent is so strong Ive opened the street door to check nobody is standing outside with a pipe.
Hi, my son Alex has been refusing to sleep in his room for a year now. He is 8 years old and says at night he wakes up to find a human shaped figure standing over him looking at him. Except where the face should be is just black. I started letting him sleep with the light on in his room thinking this would help. But he says he still sees the figure outside his room door in the hallway. He is so terrified he would rather sleep on the floor in my room than in his own room. I have blessed his room with holy water but it has not helped. And just the other night while watching television he said he saw a white ball of light float into the family room and then out throw the wall. I am so lost and confused. I believe everything he is telling me because I sometimes sense things. But I don’t know what to do to help and protect him from what is coming in the night.
Hi Abi, thanks for the input. Belle has a beautiful name. Here is a very quick overview, respecting your privacy as much as possible. Belle’s body screams at me from her abdomen – colon. Look up the enterric nervous system on the web for reference. Belle’s has a nervousness about her that stems from the “gut” feelings she carries around all day in her awareness. so her intuition is clear, right on, and right now seems to be always on in her gut. She is hypersensitive there. So first task is to desensitize the nerve endings in the colon so she can use her real intuition and not confuse it with anxiety, like feeling you would leave her.
YOU do this through physical means to ease the load on her colon and help her calm herself. She has allergies to gluten, tomatoes, fermented orange cheeses, and vinegars. Can you eliminate these from her diet and then observe whether there is any noticeable calm? I also suggest that you teach her a self-soothing calm of Full Wave Breathing found in a book call Help Kids Cope with Stress & Trauma. If the physical is taken care of, then her intuitive skills will be heightened and can be trained if you wish to do this.
Belle is clairvoyant mostly. She seems to see the non-physical world, but she has selected through the years WHAT she wants to see. This is good. She also hears, but often chooses not to focus her attention on listening. So she has learned to divide her attention between the worlds. She does talk to Gemma who seems to be Belle’s companion and has been for awhile. I do see her as a spirit who is independent of Belle’s imagination, and therefore not a mental projection. i see another small male child who hands around with them, but that is all at the present time.
You ask if she will outgrow this? No, intuitive children don’t outgrow their gifts anymore than a math genius can turn off his flow of inspiration. However, they can shift their attention for awhile and pursue the cognitive world, and I feel Emma may do this because she is astute and has a gifted IQ. No reason not to use all of her talents. As she progresses through school, don’t fall into the game of she daydreams, doesn’t pay attention etc. If you get that, find a teacher or school who will challenge her gifted mind or find activities that nurture her genius.
Hope this helps
Nikki, please join me on the free call on Sept 17th. I’d like to walk you through an approach we use called face it and embrace it, to help Alex not be afraid. We teach the approach in live seminars, like next memorial day weekend (2009) because it requires actions and imagery on your part to practice using with Alex. Is that a possibility for you? Once he faces the being, I don’t believe he will continue to be afraid. Also he us under stress as high adrenalin (stress hormones) can activate activity in the temporal lobes, thus seeing flashes and balls of light. Is there any more going on at home or school causing undue anxiety?

My four yr old daughter, Sawyer hasn’t slept all night since she was 1. Since she could talk, she would tell me someone was in her room at night. Things started getting really scary when she would wake up at midnight every night and turn her light on and slam her door. I would go in to check on her and she would be pale, sweating and heart racing. She was 2 and a half then. I eventually had her and my apartment blessed cause it got so bad.
She recently told me that she sees my uncle that passed away five years before she was born in her dreams all the time. She said his mouth moves but she cant hear him. She also said an old lady used to talk to her all the time. She says she hears footsteps at night but no one is in the hall way when she looks so she comes and gets in my bed. Sawyer has also told me things before they happen. I just want to know if my daughter has a “gift” or is very imaginative. Certain things lead me to believe she has clairvoyant abilities. Her birthdate is 02/28/04. Any help would be very appreciative.
Laura, Please try this exercise with Sawyer and let me know what happens. Next time she “sees” someone, you hold her hand and ask her to stretch out her hand with love to the being she sees, and let me know the result. Ordinarily, reaching out a hand in love or friendship or light, not fear, causes the ghost or being to disappear or dissipate. Keep me posted please.

hi my 3 year old son logan for the past two night has woke up screaming and frightened, he keeps saying he can see a little girl called andy and she scares him he say’s she sits on my sister’s bed in the next bedroom and she’s naughty, it as scared everyone in the house, it freaks us out because a man called andy took his own life in the house next door to us, does anyone have any explanation about any of this please
sami
Hi Sami
Yes, we can clarify this for you, and I prefer to do it on the telephone. do you have time to sign up for the free conference call? It would provide a space where we could discuss the event. Please see the announcement on the blog and follow the links to sign up. Logan does seem to be seeing something, and I don’t get anything for you to be scared of at all. You and Logan can simply tell it to go away and not linger. Don’t be afraid. Your son is afraid because he feels the fear in the ghost in his abdomen. Soothe and calm your son by holding him close your heart. Your heartbeat will calm and regulate his fear in a short period of time. and don’t give in to the fear as that scares your son more. let me know if you can make the call.
Caron,
I discussed with Sawyer what you suggested.Since she mostly sees things at night when I’m not with her I told her to hold out her hand in love to what she sees. She replied “But Mom, what if there are 10 or 12 of them? My hand is going to get so tired.” I thought this was a cute answer and wanted to share.
We have also been doing something else at night before bedtime. I tell her to imagine her self in a white bubble that protects her. She falls asleep quick and has been sleeping a little longer.
She also drew a picture the other day of an image with a moustache and long beard. She says it was the “one” that scares her. This was the first time she drew a picture for me related to what has been going on.
Hi Laura,
You are right. Sawyer’s answer was cute. Please tell her to pick one who seems friendly to her and reach out to that one. The whole point is to teach her at this young age tat she can exercise some control over her environment and not be afraid of the beings.
I am glad she can sleep longer at night with the protective bubble. When you feel she can move from needing protection to facing one or two of the beings, here is another visualization that will help her move to the face it and embrace it stage, She can swirl all the light of the bubble into her heart center, and make the heart center like the bright sun in the sky. She can extend her heart (not her hand) like rays of the sun to touch the beings.
The image of the moustache and beard seems to belong to one of Sawyer’s guides, a bit of a biblical looking figure, but with kindness and a good heart. sawyer can ask him questions if she wants, and he will speak with her telepathically in her head. If you can get Sawyer to befriend him, she will enjoy working with him.
Keep us posted. Thanks Laura
Hi, my son Logan is 9, 10 in October. He tells us he is seeing 3 spirits and tells us their names and discription quite clearly. He says one spirit doesnt talk to him, but Logan said his name popped into his head.The other 2, a man and his wife talk to him and the man has told him not to be scared, he says the speaking is in his head. . Logan explained how he see these spirits..he said theyr not in the room but in his head, but has seen them standing in class at school. My sister has a medium friend, and i contacted her to get her advice and she tells me Logan is gifted and really wants to meet him. Can you tell me anything? the spirits are a man, John, his wife, Lillian and an elderly man called Samuel.
Louise.
Hi Louise
Based upon my experiences, I believe what Logan describes to you as the “way” he hears and sees is the process of seeing with the inner eyes (clairvoyance) and hearing with the inner ears (clauraudience). If he can distinguish the difference in the personality of the voices and the character descriptions, then he is doing well. For young boys who enter the tween age, this is a time when intuitive and psychic skills can appear. It is a time for the children to understand the depth of their world. I find these spirits to be kind or benevolent.
Samuel, the Elder, is a teacher to Logan, and I encourage Logan to speak with him, discuss what he says with you. Basically, why did Samuel come at this time? What information does he want Logan to know? How can he help Logan? Then Logan will have to decide if he wants to keep this door open and work with Samuel for a while, and this would include working with you.
Overall, yes, I believe Logan has intuitive gifts. I would urge you to treat him as a normal child with an intuitive gift, as a matter of fact, and guide him through his learning and purpose. Please keep us posted.
Hello my name is Chloe, im only a teenager (no im not a parent) but i found this website and thought u could help me, Well i kind of see ghosts, sometimes i get really scared but i have a few usuals and u kind of get used to them sorta. Well i mostly see them phsyically but other times i hear them talking to me in my ears. The other night, i woke up for no reason in the middle of the night and smelt incesnce which when i sat up turned to smoke i looked around and the room was filled with smokey fog, i immediatly called my dad in and as soon as he turned the light on it all went away. i know i wasnt dreaming it because i could feel someone in their i think thats why i woke up. I dont know what to do this has never happened to me, i always sleep with my light on now but i still cant get to sleep until early hours of the morning, so i am mostly always tired because i am too scared to sleep. And when i sleep i have terrible nightmares waking up in cold sweat. I dont no what to do, my dad doesnt even believe i see them, my mum kinda believes in ghosts but is too scared to believe that i see them, i usually go to get rekki from a lady who helps me with this but lately things have come up and i havent been able to go….I need some advice please get back to me im only 13….
Hi Chloe, yes we can help you, and if you can give me some information, I’d appreciate it. First of all, where do you live? If you are in the United States, would your parents let you make a long distance call on Wednesday night to talk with me. They are welcome to call me if they want to know who I am.
When did you start seeing ghosts? Was there a depressing or intense event that preceded you seeing them. Excuse me for asking, but I need to know if you’ve has any marijuana as sometimes that opens a psychic doorway to see ghosts which is not always pleasant. We would handle that situation differently.
Who are the regulars that you have been seeing and what do they do – hang out? talk with you? offer advice?
I feel the incense that the smoke were part of a very lucid dream you were having about being in another time and place, maybe a past life. So while the experience triggers fear, I think once you understand it, you won’t be afraid any more. That is why it would be best if we spoke on the phone, if possible. If not, than chat again with some answers and I can offer the next step.
PS Chloe, If you’ll give me an idea, where you live, there may be people who you can see in person.
Thanks
hello…its Chloe again..
well i kinda live in Australia….in WA so i dont think we would be able to talk on the phone…
umm…yes you were right me seeing ghosts was due to a depressive things that happened in my life 2 years back..that was when i starting seeing ghosts after my grandmother, my two cats, and my dog died. No i have never and would never take drugs.
My regulars are a girl that talks to me in a classroom at my school, she has never appeared to me but she talks to me asking me for help but she wont tell me how to help her??? there is also someone who is quite scaring looking, she has never talked to me..just stares, she has a bullet hole in the side of her head…to be honest out of all of them i have ever seen..there has only ever been 2 good ones that made me feel happy all others are depressive, angry, confused, and usually mad..Besides my regulars i would probably see up to 5 different people a day. Sometimes more…..
I dont really understand what you mean about what the smoke was or is..or how it could be a memory of another life…Im sorry this is the only contact we can have because i would probably not be aloud to call…
If you would like any more information please say..because i havent been getting much sleep from the fear..As i see ghosts i pretty much live in fear so i am kind of used to having the shock of seeing them.Kinda. But the fear the foggy smoke gave me is like nothing i have ever felt since starting to feel ghosts….
Hi chloe,
caron here. Thanks for responding, You are a brave girl to reach out and ask for help. Since we can’t talk on the phone, here is what I will do for you. I can see who is around you, and then tell you how to handle the ones that let me see them.
The foggy smoke is not a bad or scary experience and I can help you with that also, and I understand that you are afraid of it.
Before we jump into that, I want to share how the depression looks through my clairvoyant eyes, and how to handle that first. I lost nine friends and my parents in the mid-nineties, so I understand how depression goes, and fog of grief lingers for years sometimes. The shock of loss can open a crack in your world to let you see others. Also some anti-depressant medications can do the same. So are you on any medication for depression, and if so, is it helpful? can you feel a difference?
When I see the emotional energy of depression around your body, the depression looks like storm clouds. Sometimes they are just dark clouds gathered in the front of your body, under your rib cage and in front of your stomach. Other times, the storm clouds look like they thunder and lightning.
So can you do these three things and send me the answers and we can go to the next step?
1. I need you to feel the difference between the normal depression which look like storm clouds and the raging depression which feels like lightning ready to strike or booming thunder.
2. Let me know what is going on in your thoughts and behaviors when you are in those two moods.
3. how does this depression affect your stomach? Do you feel anxiety? Or sick to your stomach? do you have difficulty eating?
Thanks
I have 4 year old son who can see spirits. I work with spirits myself, so I’m comfortable with them. My son seems ok with it most of the time but at night he sometimes gets scared. I do know theres an old couple who stays here. They were the parents of the previous owners who killed themselves in the garage. These are the ones he sees the most. One time they called him to the garage while he was playing in the front yard, when some workers were going to start putting a new roof on the garage. He was frantic to go back there because “the people” as he calls them, wanted him back there while the workers were there. He’s also seen others in other places, and has told us he used to be a doctor and live in a white house on Maple street.
My question is how do I talk to him about this and is there a way to develop this gift so he won’t be freaked out by it? I think it would help doing guided meditations on this but not sure how to start this with a 4 year old.
Any advice?
Akela
Hi Akela, nice to hear from you. for a four year old, I am not sure what type of meditation you have in mind, but your his mom and you know best. My impressions of the older couple is that they want to protect your son. While their intentions are good, your son has to live in this world, so when one ghost impinges on his energy and psyche, even with the best of intention, I am prone to proaction. I would take you son by the hand and go their area, sit down and have a talk about keeping their energy to themselves and asking if they are ready to find greater solace in higher planes of light. I am sensing you know how to do this.If not, let me know. I’ll help. You son can say goodbye to them, assist you or just watch. Is this something that you feel comfortable doing? Do you feel this is appropriate?
Here are some things that I suggest from the research I am familiar with and from my years of experience. Please feel them out. Children who become anchored in their intuition and essence before age six go through school very successfuly. They take movement that enables their inner energy to fortify and strengthen. Yoga, Tai Chi, Full Wave Breathing, karate, or another martial arts. This strengthens the inner knowing, offers them skills to manage energy and learn to trust their inner senses.
Also I would suggest you read Nurture Your Child’s Gift, Inspired Parenting which has great suggestions. Do you have any other questions.

Hi Dr. Goode,
I have stumbled on your blog wishing I had found it years earlier! My daughter, Meredith, has been intuitive & has always had difficulty sleeping due to people visiting her at night. She is very sensitive & I believe absorbs the feelings & energy of those she comes in contact with. I have been told by one psychic she is an indigo child, a crystal child by another. She is always stressed, difficulty sleeping, & has frequent headaches. She does have learning differences which I know can be stressful in itself & she just started college this year. I would like to know what she needs to do to help herself & find peace. She claims to try to block things out at night but I think that too is draining her. I wonder if her trying not to deal with this is making her more stressed. Also, I feel she needs to be able to talk to someone that understands what she is going through. Appreciate your thoughts & insights.

Hi,
I am so grateful I found your page. Would you please give me some guidance? My son Alex who is 5 told me he saw a ghost in his room, his face was kind of a shapeless, had big eyes and no visible ams, was wearing boots. This presence scared him and when I told him perhaps it was a “good” ghost, or an angel, he said he was bad.
The story would seem like a figment of his imagination, except for his history. Ever since he was born, I ( who usually do not believe in such things) sensed a “negative” presence around him, I would even try to swat it away and could see him as a baby following it with his eyes. Once a scratch appeared on his forehead and bleed a bit out of nowhere. By the time he was 2/3 he started having night terrors, and now at 5, he sleeps clenching his teeth with his jaw so tight I can’t open it when I try to help him.
He tells me of nightmares and sometimes says disturbing things. Once he reported seeing someone in the bathroom and when I went to check and found no-one, he was very surprised, and then said, very matter of factly, oh it most be one of the “shadows” as he calls them.
Recently, while on vacation at an older cottage in Canada I peeked out of the bathroom and saw him smiling and waving at someone, except he was in an empty room. Later on I read about the innkeeper who had died in that place. When I went to put his pj’s on, he said he didn’t want “them” to see him naked!
Do you sense anything? Can I help him in some way? He seems scared about the shadows. Could it be a good visit from a deceased relative?
Thanks for your advice,
Paola
Hello. I am 17 years old and found this sight by using a search engine. When I was younger, around 3 or 4 I used to see ghosts of Native American’s in my bedroom when I was getting ready for sleep. I would talk to them and they would talk back. Unfortunately, I don’t remember these conversations very well, but I do have the images in my head of when I saw them. My mom has told me that the spirits told me that our house was built on an ancient Native American burial ground. I wasn’t afraid of them and found solace in their presence; I remember feeling like they protected me. Since then, I have not seen any ghosts but have had instances where I will get feelings like something is there. And a few years ago, I was touring an old fort, looking at the old jail. As I was staring at the old jail cell door, reading about one of the prisoners in the jail, I got the smell of men’s cologne–so pungent I could taste it. The only person in the room with me was my mother, who could smell anything, and no men were anywhere near us. I’m looking for some guidance of how I can hone my ability (if I have one) and possibly begin seeing ghosts like I used to… but, because nothing has happened to me in a while, I’m starting to believe that it was a fluke that I saw, heard and felt these things.
I live in the United States, my full name is Margaret Marie and I my birthday is November 10th. I hope that information helps. Thanks.
I’m actually his father. That’s ok, I probably wasn’t clear on that.
I really don’t get the impression that they are impinging on him. They usually just keep to themselves. They used to sing him to sleep while he was in his bassinet in our room. The old lady would sing the tune that my wife made up to sing him to sleep. My wife is more visual that I am as far as spirits. I think he gets it more from her. I can just sense them more that see them wen not journeying I’m comfortable with helping with spirits crossing over. I’m a shaman. I’m just not used to working with a 4 year old, especially someone as close as my son. As for meditation, I was hoping that he’d be interested in following in my spiritual footsteps when he’s older. I just wanted to start him out in a direction that would prepare him for that if he chose to do so. What is your experience with spirits?
I’m also looking for that book thanks
Hi Akela, Sounds like you know your son well. My training in the spirit world was through shamanic work with a peruvian shaman and an apache medicine man. also more extensive private work over twenty-five years that is too long to go into here.
peace

Hi Jackie
If the monsters in her room want help, then help them. call a local psychic to come to the house and read them and take care of it. Other ways that you and your daughter can help them is to blast the room with light of love and ask them to leave. One four year old imagined her room filled with rainbows, and in the corner of the room, at the end of the rainbow, she imagined a door, and all the monsters in her room slid down her rainbow and out the door.
If you want to go one by one, have your daughter touch one, and say “goodbye, go away.” Be there with her until they leave. This is a one-on-one approach. For a group effort and expedience, call in the angels until your daughter can see them and you can feel them, and wait until the angels escort them to another space and time. If your daughter is unsure of angels, you can show her an image and ask her to bring that image to life in the room, and then wait until such a being manifests for her and you. lease let us know how she does.
Hi Maggie,
Well we know that you have had psychic episodes. I was also privileged to live in a home built on a Native American burial ground and found solace in speaking to one being who visited me for as long as I lived there. I also found comfort. To hone your psychic skills requires a quiet mind. Here are several techniques for a quiet mind
1. Go to http://www.InternationalBreathInstitute.com and learn about Full Wave Breathing. The first step of this breath exercise will calm you if you gently breathe as instructed for five minutes or so.
2. Place your hand on your heart, close your eyes and go down into your heart center. Breathe gently until you feel peaceful and quiet.
If you cannot quiet your mind deliberately, then dance or exercise until you feel mentally clear. Then sit, close your eyes and turn inward.
Focus on developing a sun in your heart center, making it bright and powerful. This is your light and building it internally strengthens your inner skills.
Call a teacher to you. Your place of intuitive feeling in at the back of your neck and shoulders and within your chest. So when you sit still and ask for a teacher of light, your inner wisdom voice, you will feel the flutter, chills etc in those places.
Let us know how it goes.
Hi Lynn,
I’d like to speak with you privately about Meredith. Can you email me and we’ll set up a brief call so I can relay some helpful information to you? See the contact form. Or please join me on my next Wednesday night call.
Thanks
Thanks so much Caron.
I will test your advice as soon as I get the chance, which will hopefully be tomorrow!
Hi Maggie,
Yes definitely test the waters. Never take anyone’s words for it when you can have the lovely experiences yourself. Everyone is always anxious for the experience, and patience offers the most beautiful rewards. Do enjoy!
I don’t know where to start. I have a 3 year old son, Lincoln, who was born with Spina Bifida. He is very smart (beyond his years) and has a very active imagination. Just an expample of his imagination: We have neighbors with a 5 year old little boy named Palmer which my kids love playing with. When Palmer isn’t home and we’re outside with Lincoln, he will act like Palmer is right next to him playing. He talks to Palmer as if he were there with him.
Anyway, my husband told me yesterday that they were in the vehicle on the way to a store and Lincoln got really excited and tensed up and looking out of the window he said “Daddy, I see Pa Pa.” My FIL passed away almost a year ago. November 14th of last year to be exact. My husband didn’t know what to say so decided to play along and asked Lincoln is Pa Pa was following them to the store. Lincoln said “Yea Daddy, you see him, he’s right there!” So my husband still plays along and says “Well, tell him to get in the car with us and come to the store with us” When my husband looked back at Lincoln, Lincoln was looking at the car seat tellin his Pa Pa to sit next to him.
I don’t know how to handle this. My son is very smart and has a very active imagination so I don’t know if he actually saw my FIL or not. How do you think I should handle this?
hey this is 13year old Chloe again im just writing in to say that the other day a male ghost said to that finaly its time. wat does that mean??
um i also saw me. i saw a gurl that looked just like she was behind a tree so i went to look but she turned to nothing??
Hi Susanne,
I think the way your husband handled the situation is ideal. Preschool children’s brain waves usually function in an alert, dreamy state, open to real world and imaginal world, so we play a lot with preschoolers, follow their lead and enjoy their joy.
I guess I am not sure what there is about the situation for you to handle since your husband did such a good job? Did the situation upset you in some way?
My 8 year old son came into my bedroom this morning and told me he had saw 2 shadows. When asked about the details, for instance if he was lying down or sitting up wide awake, he said he had been lying down and something tickled him on the back of the neck so he flicked what he called the bit of fluff away and when it fell to the floor it became a shadow of a man with glasses, hands in his pockets, smoking a cigarette, I’m not sure if it’s just his imagination, but a couple of weeks ago I was helping him get dressed and I was thinking that we would go to my mum’s to visit, and he said “what did u say mum? are we going to gran’s ? ” it was as if he had read my mind. I have told him not to be scared and that he quite special to be able to see people. Gillian
I am in desperate need of help my daughter has seen ghost since shes been able speak. she has asked me lately for help with seeing them and now hearing things. The school made me take her to psychitrist i did that last year I do not agree with autism or anxiety she is a very bright and caring girl. please she is asking for help and i have no answers. thank you dawn
Hi Chloe
Good to hear from you. NoI don’t know what the male ghost meant. However I wanted to share some fun news with you I am a member of a psy kids yahoo group, and this mornign two teens from australia signed up. I thought of you and wondered if you are a member already. If not, check this out:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/psykids/
thankyou…for the website and and for the help..
i really appreicate it…
and reading all your other messages it seems im not the only one who has trouble with seeing them
again THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
xxx
I hope you enjoy the yahoo group, I was prompted to connect you because other teens had signed on, and their heart is like what yiu find here – kind.
Tis true that we don’t see all the time, and not all see. when we are tired or depressed, it seems that our energies wain in the intuitive sense. I hope you can find help for your depression. I see that you see, and the wistfulness of the events might be no more than your fatigue. I know when I am tired or really focused on a project, my attention has to be in this world.
Also one thing we haven’t talked about much on this blog is the fact that each person’s perceptions are strictly their own. Like why do some see angels, and others see ghosts. Have you ever thought about what you see??
I have a 8year old daughter who sees ghost all the time now she is starting to hear them more clear but only bits and pieces. She has seen these things since I can remember. The schools made me take her to psychitrist who claims autism or seperation anxiety. I say defenetly no she is bright, caring, socialable very grown up for her age. She is begging me for help and I have no idea how to help I never believed before now. She is also hearing alot of groaling comin from the ground and ask me what that is I have no clue. please respond I am desperate. thanks dawn
ummm i think about what i see all the time..i know someone who only sees peoples “nice” angels that watch over and protect them…
then why is it that i only see sad and angry ones??? that hover over people and myself because they have some sort of grudge agaisnt them…???
why is that?
i can also see peoples aura’s and there is a certain someone and whenever they come close to me when i see there aura i get a chill or i feel the colours go into me…??
sorry if im a nusance but i have so many unanswered questions…
SORRY
Chloe, don’t ever apologize. All questions are good. In fact, a teacher told me once that when we stop asking questions, then we aren’t thinking much any more. He had a good point.
Here are some simple facts. then we’ll discuss the why people see what they do. The pictures we see are in our heads, our memories. Our eyes only see light and the brain goes, “Hmmm, this seems to be a chair.” That is at the conscious level. At the unconscious level, our heart picks up on on the flow of energy information and can feel and know an event, The heart knows first, then the brain gets it. So we are connected to the greater universe, and the wiring for how we interpret out world is within us.
Does this make sense to you.
yeah that makes some sense to me..our maths and S+E teacher kind of explained it like that aswell as our Science teacher.
Chloe
Hi! We live in a small town in New Mexico. My 8 year old daughter Megan sees ghosts. She sees some “regular ones” and others. She also keeps complaining of seeing a black mist in rooms of the house and it passing through walls. She is very scared and nervous and said things don’t feel right. She is scared to be at home and she says she sees ghosts at school too and nobody else can see them. I don’t see things when she says they are there, however I sometimes get chills and feel a presence. Please help me know what to say to her and how to calm her. She gets almost hysterical sometimes. THank you.
Hi Tara
My telling you to say something to calm Megan isn’t helpful here. If you feel the chills, and she sees something, then this requires a reader or an intuitive to understand what is either going on the environment of tour home or going on in Megan’s psyche? You are welcome to make an appt. for a private consultation, or if you are available next Wed evening (October 29, 2008), you can sign up for the final free conference call to get help for just these kind of situations. We hold the conference call at 6 PM CT
peace
Tara – please excuse my typos and slippery fingers in the above post. I am feeling that the energy is in the environment of your home, not necessarily within Megan, which is why talking to her about it is not the first step. Identifying the energy and dealing with it is the first important step. I hope that makes my fast-typed response clearer.
Caron. Thank you for your response. I have signed up for your conference call on Wed. When you say the energy is in the environment of our home, do you mean that she is upset about something that is going on in our home or that there is some sort of spirit energy that is tied to the house? Sorry for the confusion, I’m new to this stuff. To give you a little more detail…According to Meghan, there is a little girl ghost named Emily who visits her frequently at home, outside our house, at a condo in the mountains 3 hours away, and even at school. Emily keeps telling Meghan to help her. Emily tells Meghan her village needs help. Emily asks Meghan to come with her. Emily also visits Meghan in her dreams and asks her to come with her. Meghan says she has been seeing Emily for several months now. She said they used to talk and play outside and in the house some. Then Emily started getting serious and telling Meghan she needs her help and Meghan needs to come with her. Emily the ghost also says “Meghan, remember November 18” every time before she sees Meghan, right before she disappears. We do not know the significance of November 18 in our family – no births, deaths, or traumatic events that we know of have happened on that day. Meghan has asked her several times how she can help and Emily will not answer, she only tells her to come with her. Also, Meghan has asked her several times why she is here and she says Emily gets very angry when you ask her that and she will not answer. According to Meghan, Emily has started popping up all of the sudden and scaring her. Meghan keeps saying “something doesn’t fell right” and she is very scared of Emily now. Also, as I said before she sees other spirits. She has seen a man, a boy, and she keeps seeing this black mist around the house that can travel through walls. She also says she will hear voices but noone will be there. She experiences that at places other than home as well. Meghan now has stomach aches and gets very upset when she sees something which is almost every day. I’m afraid something might harm her.
Hi Tara
I am following up to see how you and Meghan are doing? Did you find the answers that you need on the Wednesday night call or the yahoo support group? I am asking to determine if you need a reading or if you found someone to assist locally?
Caron
Caron,
I think that I may need a reading. On the Wednesday night call I did receive some help and a suggestion to sage a room in our house. Things are getting wierder at home. I have not found anyone to assist locally. I’m in a rural town in New Mexico. Do you have a suggestion as to who can do a reading? Any advice would be appreciated.
hey……..its Chloe
ummm well i went on skool camp and we went to this muesuem and i saw this man near the bombs and missiles and he looked like he’d been blown up….he told me to get him out of there. i ignored him because i has to stay with the group. i think he got REALLY mad because later on that day…when we were getting ready to leave my gold neckalace snapped and my locket fell of….
my locket holds ginger in it..to protect me…
i found my locket..but later on that day i opened it to check and it wasnt in there. I have spare in my wallet so i was fine…but my point is that my locket cant open on its own and the ginger cant just slip out because its pretty big….
Tara, I’ll do the reading for you. Please contact me off line at caron30@gmail,com and we’ll set up a telephone time. It would take about 30 minutes. If your daughter is growing into intuition, then you need to deal with this head on and we need to understand the nature. Mostly I need you to feel comfortable with me and not be afraid. So we can talk first and see if you are comfortable with the situation. Cheers
Caron
Hi Chloe
Sounds like the war veteran ghost wanted to move on, doesn’t it? I like the fact that you ignored him, and were not pulled in. I think it was a good thing you had to move along. Your locket clasp and ginger aspect could be a result of your own psi energy, and the strong energy you have. Kind of like the spoon bending phenomena–you may have the high energy for such psi events, but it may not be directed or focused. Do you have any adults who could teach you how to use energy?
C
i’m concernes because my 3 yr. old comes to my room at night crying and saying there’s a man in his room and if even says he’s in my room sometimes i don’t know what to do because he’s really sacred of this man!
hey its Chloe..
yeah i have a lady who could probably teach me how to use it, and i can see her tomorrow..
but a spoon bending phenomena are you saying that I snapped my neckalace with my mind, because as soon as it feel i dropped to me knees and picked it up but i was going around in circles for the locket and my friend bent down and said..”Chloe its right here” and she pointed straight in front of me but i still couldnt see it untill she placed it in my hand???
You have a lot of energy chloe, and when you see a ghost like the war-torn soldier, your connection to him, awareness of his energy can mix with yours, adding an extra charge or diffusion of energy. Often psi energy that isn’t focused or contained can cause phenomena. That is why I suggested a teacher, someone who could help you focus your energy and lift you above the depression. The best part about being psychic or empathic is the joy of knowing, serving, and the beautiful connection to the other side. The downer part is when we feel the heaviness or depression, and with a teacher, you could lift above the depression.
hey….
well…im sorta starting to get over my depression…
and the lady that i see, she told me about psi…but i dont think she can teach me how to use it…
Chloe
hi,
I am glad I found this site. My 13 year old son has claimed to see ghosts for years. The very first occurance was when he was a little over 3. He was playing in the play room and talking and laughing. I asked who he was talking to and he said grammy. My grandmother died when he was months old. I freaked and called my mom. She told me to talk to him ask him to describe her. He did. He always said he saw things after that but I shrugged it off. A few years later we moved to a house which we later found was owned by a wiccan. He would not sleep was scared all the time and claimed to see evil things. We had rooms annointed and put a pic of a guardian angel. It did not get better until we moved. He has adhd and is socially not doing well at all. He has a lot of trouble in school. He still says he sees things but sometimes the things he describes is so off the wall that I just don’t think it can be ghosts. A man with a tall hat, or a guy with a cape etc… His step mom is big into ghosts and I am afraid she may be encouraging him to make up stories. I am very concerned for him because he is a bit socially challenged and pretty imature for his age. He is very sensitive and cries over little things that upset him at thirteen. I guess what I am asking is do you think there is a possibility that he is really seeing things? We took him to a psychologist who said he did not believe anything was wrong with him as in schizophrenia. I just don’t know how to help him!
Hi. I need help understanding if my 9 yr old is seeing ghosts. She has been seeing things for about 1.5 yrs in my house, maybe longer. I have told het time and time agin that what she is seeing is normal, that i saw things when I was young and that it is her imagination. She has always been afraid to sleep in her room and heard things. I told her it was what ever I thought it could be not to worry. A few months back her Grandmother moved out of the house and she has been sleeping downstairs acrross the hall from us. She will wake me up to take her back to her room in the middle of the night. She will not go upstairs unless someone is with her.She does not like to be alone in the house at all bright daylight and all. Once when asked what she see, she said shadowy people. Lots and Lots of times she will say I just saw a floting grey thing over there, or I say aeblk thing over there and just as quick ask a question about anything else that has nothing to do about what she just said. I have also asked what it is that she is so afraid of, that I can not help her if she does not tell me what it is that she is afraid of. She has told me she does not want to talk about it, it freaks her out, she has said at other times taht THIS IS NOT THE TIME.. it is dark out or something like that. how do I know if she is seeings things or if this is imagination. I don’t think it is imagination, but I am confussed. Also she is a child who seems to slightly confused about what is real. I can explain that further. What ever is in my house I have been told it is not bad..help me to to help her please

Hey, i’m 14, and, i keep seeing.. dead people. generally people that have been murderd, commited suicide, and what not, i don’t understand it, no one else in my family can see ghosts either, i’ve spoken to my dad about it, and he didn’t really say much. i also have preminitions, and, i have also spoken to my dad about that. they are always detailed.. and when it happens in real life, it’s exactly like the preminition. The preminitions have been happening since i was about 5, but i have only been able to see the dead for about 6 months. i don’t know what to do about it, and i don’t really understand it.. can you please help?
Hi Shanay,
There is a saying that what we focus on we become. So tell me a little more about yourself. Six months ago, there was triggering event which opened a doorway in your mind to ghosts. it could have been stress related, peer related, etc. Please tell me more about what happened.
What do you do in your spare time? What do you think about? When you are daydreaming, what do you see?
Thanks for sharing. This will help me help you.
Carolyne
When I check into your daughter, I do not see ghosts in your home. There is nothing to be afraid of or panic about. When I check into kerryanne, I see behavior more along the line of night terrors–not to be confused with psychic activities. When I do not see a ghost, then your daughter is seeing something within her own imagination which frightens her, which is not at all unusual for a toddler who is stressed, off-schedule, sensitive, or eating foods that may not agree with her like sugar, gluten, chocolate and the like.
A description of night terrors is below. If this doesn’t feel right to you, then I would ask the medium to come to your home and physically check out your home for your peace of mind.
Night terrors are when a person wakes up feeling terrified, frightened, screaming or groaning, and has difficulty being awakened. Most prone to night terrors are preschoolers. These episodes usually occur between one to two hours into a sleep cycle, and the episode itself can last fifteen to thirty minutes. The events usually subside by themselves, and some medical research offers hope for parents of children who experience this frequently.
To offset a night terror, parents can awaken the child fifteen to twenty minutes before the event normally occurs. This breaks the brain wave cycle, and returning them to sleep seems to break the terror cycle. Don’t confuse these natural childhood events with anything psychic, scary or ghouly.
Hi Tracy M.
Yes I think your son sees ghosts. However I sense it comes and goes. When I see your son, through your eyes as you describe him, I see an empath, one who does not know how to deal with his emotional energy and feelings. The social awkwardness seem to be about recognizing, feeling and running other people’s energies. He needs help sorting them out, as in a mentor. I remember when I was twelve years old, in the midst of hormonal changes, I wept an wept. My parents asked me what was wrong, and I couldn’t explain that I hurt all over, like I opened to the weight of the world and it was crushing me. My mother said if I didn’t quit crying, she would take me to a doctor. That was like a threat. I stopped crying and held it in for years.
You need to find your son’s talent, creativity, visions, dream or desire. He needs a hobby or task in which he can excel and find confidence in himself. Meantime, the best way I know for a young man to find the ability manage his energy is through an eastern art like yoga, tai chi, a martial art, something in which his energy can be strengthened and his resilience supported. Confidence building in the next several years is paramount before he pulls too deeply inside of himself.
Meantime, some books for you to consider.

In order to help your daughter, I would need to do a private reading, or I would suggest you find a local spiritual person in your geographic area who could do a reading for you. I trust she is afraid, and I sense she is overly sensitive to the energy without understanding, and your caring needs the answers that take more than a blog entry. Basically, your daughter needs empowerment skills that can only come from the experience of having success in dealing with her fears. For both of you, that is best done face to face with someone you trust.
Hi caron thank you ever so much for gettin bk. Jus yesturday my 5 yr olds daughters purse went missing bout a week ago, jus yesturday it turnd up in our pc desk and the string on the purse woz broke before nw its fixed?? And we’d looked ther b4 and nothing? And its bn fixed? Who did it? X
Hi Carolyne
I work with the people side of intuitive intelligence, the spirit, emotion, mind, heart, psyche and how to live in this world with intuitive intelligence. I don’t go into people’s homes and trace psychic events, patterns or phenomena. Best left to others.

Thankyou for getting back to me Caron,
Basicly, i’m just an average teenager, in my spare time, generally i’ll go shopping, work out how i’m going to do my hair and make-up the next day, and also spend time on myspace and go to the gym.
When i think, i generally, focus, on guys, and school, and my hair, and what not.
when i’m daydreaming, well. i don’t know, i don’t seem to really daydream.
In the past year, i have been diagnosed with depression, 2 years ago i was sexually assulted..
but, i don’t, understand, how any of that can really, have anything to do with it.
Hi Shanay,
Thanks for responding back. Each of us has a conscious and unconscious level. We can stay focused on the conscious every day world of our work, school or teen activities. And the unconscious world of thoughts that run below the radar can still bubble up now and then. The ghosts you see, I believe, are from your unconscious world, could simply be an issue from the past that needs acknowledgment.
For example, I had some surgery in my twenties, and about 8 months afterwards, I woke up screaming from a dream that my parents died in a fiery airplane crash in Panama. I called them, and they were going to Panama on vacation, but nothing happened. Since I am also a therapist, my supervisor and I figured that the surgery trauma buried deep needed to rise to the surface and be cleared. I intuit that the same is true for you.
Since you have some clairvoyant abilities, why not take a couple minutes each day and close your eyes,get quiet inside, and ask for an angel to assist. Having a source of friendship and wisdom might be a great way to learn to use your skills.
Hello,
My great nephew “Ryder” sees some pretty scarey things that no one else can see. In his first home he kept seeing a black man. Not necessarily by colour but maybe a shadow. He would often be seen having conversation with the air. He would say he was talking to the “black man” or “monster”. In his new home he says the window in his room talks to him. He is terrified. He generally has a very negative feeling about what he sees. He is now three years old. Are we dealing with nightmares or is he actually seeing something? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
I stumbled across your website today and glad I did. My 3 year old son, Brycen, has really started worrying me. A couple of weeks ago, while we were pulling out of his grandpas house, he told us to “look at that man beside the tree” and we didn’t see anyone. When asked what the man looked like he said “man in a purple shirt” We just didn’t worry so much about it then but last night, he woke up sick with a small fever and kept saying he saw monster with a nose. Then he saw a puppy. Then a man on the ceiling fan. A man near the wall. I told him I didn’t see anything and wanted to know where they were. He pointed and kept screaming at me “right there!” and argued with me that he saw all these things and got so scared he was shaking and started vomiting.
Can you please tell me what is going on? I have other issues with Brycen and this morning I called the pedi to schedule a Mommy visit for him so I could discuss this with them without him being there. I go on Monday morning, but for some reason I can’t let this go.
Can you give me any indication of what’s going on or should I just carry him to the doctor.
Oh and one more thing, he has never slept a full night. He tosses and turns all night all over the bed. He gets up and down and is deathly afraid of the dark.
Hi Nancy,
Generally if a child is “seeing” consistently over time, then give the child the benefit of the doubt that he is seeing something,Now what that “something” is becomes the issue, and I do not enough information to make further comments. How old is Ryder? Where does he live? What stress is happening in the home. I
f a child is younger – under 6, or a tween – 11-13, then intuitive or sensitive children are more prone to seeing. If a child is consistently seeing negative and fearful imagery, as a psychologist, I would say these stem from within his mind as a way to cope with what is going on in his life. What triggers the neurology of seeing is as simple as too much aspartame in diet sodas to sugar at a biochemical level. More happens at the emotional level.
If a child is an empath, a deep feeler, and the emotional atmosphere of the home is not healthy or over amped, then the biochemistry of the brain and body will find ways to cope with it. My father was a social alcoholic, and I would often see dark, cloudy energy around him when he came home from work. I wasn’t afraid of them during the day, but at night I became frightened of them often and saw ghosts. I now understand why I had fearful nights, sleepless nights. Only later in life, I learned my brother had similar experiences.
If you would like a further reading on the situation, then I need specific info, and will be happy to help.
I can’t comment on nightmares because you haven’t given me any information on events around bedtime, sleeping patterns, age, does he eat before bedtime, etc.
Hi Brandi,
My response may be coming too late to help you, but another project took my attention. When a three year old sees a ghost, we just listen, whether or not you can see it really doesn’t make any difference. The child is sharing his world with you and seeking conversation and confirmation. I don’t know what the doctor told you, but my read on your son is that his diet is out of whack…gluten allergies and other food sensitivities, which can cause irritability, nervousness and an overactive nervous system.
Also the human brain has the job of making a child’s inner world and outer world harmonious and coherent, much like the cat who falls from a high place rights itself upon landing. I sense your child be intuitive and sensitive, and I don’t intuit that he is seeing ghosts right now. I feel his brain is trying to make sense of a stressful situation and crying out for help. The mind projects a movie, and Brycen tries to make sense of it by calling your attention to images. The fact that he vomited is a huge cry for some changes in his life…food allergies, direction of behavior to some creative play time so he can use play with you as a metaphor for what is going on inside himself.
From what you relate, he is not able to self-regulate or soothe his behavior, and you have to teach him to do so now. The books Connection Parenting and Raising Intuitive Children will help you do this. If children do not self-regulation by age four, then they have a hard time generally for the rest of their lives.
I would review your lifestyle and the situations that Bryce faces each day, and find and change the more stressful situations. Otherwise, his nervous system will continue to be stressed out, and his ability to eat only worsens.
brandi, when you say “I can’t let this go.” I see that your own intuition, like a radar, knows something is out of whack. Why not join us next Memorial day Weekend for our training in Intuitive Parenting so you can learn to trust your intuition, otherwise how would you know to ask, or have your son tested for food allergies. A mom seems to sense and know these things, and you trusting your own intuition can help you with Brycen as well as with accepting your own feelings. Why? Because you also have a sensitive gut, and get feelings there a lot, but you wouldn’t know to ask your gut “what’s going on?” unless you were educated to do so. You are Brycen are quite alike in regard to your sensitivites. He can teach you a lot!
Hi Caron,
I just found your website and decided to ask for your advice. My daughter Summer is 14 and claims that she has been seeing people and hearing voices for most of her life. I have not been very worried about it since it did not seem to bother her too much until recently. She is now saying that something has just started waking her up at night by touching her arm or leg. This leaves her arm or leg very cold and she sees a dark figure sometimes when this happens and is freaked out about it. I don’t know what to do to help her. My 11 year old daughter Shea has never experienced any of this. Any advice?
hey again…

Dear Debbie
Yes I can help. This happened to me twice, and fear associated with the event sent adrenalin pumping through my body. In one incident, my mother had cancer surgery, and I spent the night at her house before bringing her home so I could prepare the house. My father had been dead three years, and I know my mother was a fearful, teary, hurting woman after his death. A dark figure sat on my bed and left the indentation. I jumped up and turned on the light, saw the indentation, and I felt ice cold, yet saw nothing. My intellect needed to secure the house, and all was locked up tight.
There are a couple ways to handle such incidents, and since I am not working with your daughter to know her level of awareness, I invite her input to the blog, if she so chooses to ask more questions. These two methods are easiest, but know that their effectiveness is not due to the method, but the person acting on the method.
Method one is be direct. Turn on the light, and with power, tell the entity to leave you alone. do this before going to bed. Repeat if the incident happens again. When I say with power, think about the voice a dog trainer uses when telling a dog to sit and stay. In the beginning of training, the trainer’s voice comes from the gut, in a deeper intonation. Saying it with power and strength, with an I mean it attitude works.
Method 2 is indirect – and that is if your daughter talks to a specific, consistent guide, then ask the guide to take care of the matter, specifically directing the energy out of your daughter’s space and keep her space clear.
These two steps usually take care of such issues. . If they don’t please email me again, and I will share a third and fourth technique which take time and preparation.
Debby – sorry for misspelling your name! I do that sometimes.
Dear Chloe, Happy fourteenth birthday almost….
You are an empath, indeed, and your phasing in and out of trance states is part of the gift, and you have to have help in focusing your attention and get training for you gifts. I have also faded in and out when I was sixteen and seventeen, but it was a different experience, mine happened in nature, with trees or in the woods where I hiked because I was drawn to the energy.
So a couple of questions: When you fade in and out…Can you pull yourself out of it? Or do you wait until the scene fades out?
Are you taking any meds for the depression? I thought you weren’t but need to check as they can cause fluctuations like that…
Did you follow through and find an inner angel or guide to assist from the inner world?
So yes I can help, but I need to know what kind of help you want and I can respond……..please let me know……..I know it can be scary, but you are in no danger……..on the other hand, you want to learn to use your gift…am I remembering that right from previous discussions.
Hello Caron.
My name is Summer. my mother last wrote you on Jan. 8th, and since then she has cleared all negative energys from the house, and the spirit hasnt grabbed me since. however it still wakes me up, even though its not touching me, it stands in my room… but the energy dosent feel hostile anymore. its peaceful.
i have had a few friends pass away in the last year, and one of them i was extreamaly close to. i was thinking it might be him.
What do you think?
ummm…i dont take medication..because im all happy now
which is good..
when i go into them..i cant pull myself out even as much i try, it has to end or someone has to grab my attention…
yeah from previous discussions i want to know how to use them…but when i go into phases and just watch i feel so helpless…
Hi Chloe
Are you fourteen yet? The first step for you to learn to use your talents is to find an internal anchor. Just like a light house serves as a beacon for incoming ships around rocky shoals, you need an internal light, an anchor even, that you can count on. Empaths and clairvoyants who are too open and mesh too easily with other people get lost and can’t get back from situations like you describe without the help of someone else.
Just like a pianist has to practice the piano to get better, you have to practice developing your inner anchor or beacon. Here are three ways to do so, and practice makes it stronger and stronger. It won’t be realistic to think that you can do it once and be finished. Your inner strength can be strong or weak depending upon how emotional you are each day.
1. Placing your hand on your heart and sinking into your heart and staying there for several minutes. Breathe in to a count of four and exhale to a count of four. When you feel relaxed and comfortable, then you are there. How to use it…when you move into the trance state, place your hand immediately in your heart and keep it there. You can feel how you touch yourself and your hand will remain your anchor to the physical world.
2. This is the one I recommended for you earlier because it provides you an inner anchor as well as a visual anchor. Working with the same exercise above, extend your quiet time with your hand on your heart, breathing in and out to the count of four. When you feel peaceful, ask for angelic help. “Michael, would you assist me please.” “Guardian angel, please come, touch my heart and let me feel you.”"I ask for the purest of loving angels to help me as I learn..be with me and guide me. Connect with me now.”
Keep me posted on your progress.
hi,
no im not 14 yet..6 more days..
yeah i understand about the pianist because i play the piano myself..and i have put my hand on my heart..and the next time i fall into a phase i will remember that, the next time i will fall into a phase..the first thing i will do is come and tell you..
and i will remeber to ask the Guardian Angel to help me..
Chloe,
if you told me that when you go into trance states, that you cannot get out, then how will you remember to ask for help. If you are already in touch with an angel, this works. If you are not in touch with an angel, then this doesn;t work. You have to find and be in touch with an angel every day, not in a trance……for practice.
Is this a possibility?
Summer,
Why not get up when the energy wakes you as the person obviously wants to talk with you. Are you clairvoyant? do you hear? I see am older teen (maybe 18 or so) , polite, sensitive and respectful. Also sensitive like you. He seems eager to talk with you, and he is at peace.
let me know what happens, and thanks for blogging with us.
Caron,
My son just turned 4 years old, ever since he first came home at 7 months (he is adopted) he has never wanted to sleep alone, he has screamed in his room in complete fear. It wasn’t until he really started talking did he tell us about the man in his room, that was about a year ago. For about 3 months, he really talked a lot about this man, said he can’t sleep in his room because the man won’t stop talking to him and bugging him. Well my husband prayed over him and told the man to leave that he was scaring him. My son described this man as scary. Well after my husband asked the man to leave things calmed down, but my son still refuses to sleep in his own room. Lately we have been trying to encourage him to share his room with his brother, but he says he has to sleep with me or the man will get him. This seems like a different spirit I believe. When we ask him to tell us about him he gets very quiet and shy (my son is usually never quiet or shy!) He says that the man bugs him a lot, won’t stop talking to him. He said he is a dark shadow and that he is goes into the wall. He said that he sees him go into the green wall (which would be in my room) He says that the man has a mad face. I know my son is intuitive, but he also has a very large imagination. Does imagination take a role in this, or is he seeing all of this? I once asked him about a year ago if he knew what an angel was and he said yes and explained them to a T, and he had never seen a picture of an angel, he didn’t describe a typical picture of an angel, but an angel that I hear described by other psychics. He also told me that he sees them often and that they are nice. I ask him to tell the spirits to go away, ask his angels to protect him from the spirits but he refuses to talk to them. He says he is too afraid of them, he is very fearful of all of this, and I do not know what to do. A little more background, my son is extremely intelligent, always had a fear of sleeping alone, very emotional and loving, has a sense of love for others and animals, it is amazing how sensitive and understanding he is. I am just curious of what we can do to help him with this, he is just so scared.
Hi. I have an 8 year old son who “see’s and hears things”. As a toddler He would awake in his sleep with a screaming cry. I found him standing and pointing at the window a few times. When he was two this happened and said “the man” was there. I thought someone was banging on his window at night. He became afraid to sleep and often slept with me. By the time he was 4, he often would say “someone” was poking him so that he could not sleep. At his grandmothers house he often said he saw a man and at one time he Faught the man chasing him own the hall punching at him. He refused to sleep over there anymore. He developed severe sensitivities to sound, light and started having obsessive behaviors. He was Dx wih Aspergers at 5 years. He was hospitalized 3 times in 7 months in a mental health unit for unsafe and agressive behaviors. He was placed on medications. The ghosts seem to go away for a while. although they still happened on occassion. He often told me about balls of light floating around the room. He enjoyed them and recently, he was following them in the air with his fingers. Mason was later DX with Bipolor 1. He just got out of the hospital in December after a one month stay to regulate meds. He was taken off an anti psychotic med. He immediately showed regression in self care, and ability but began seeing ghosts again. He is very afraid and will not go in a dark room- sleeps with the lights on. He also told me he has been hearing voices. He says they are words I would say but not my voice. They usually told him things to do like- he better take his bath, or clean his room. He has told me that he talks to family members that have died and he never knew. He has drawn pictures. The other night he said there was a woman sitting on the couch but she was solid grey and looked like plastic, and was dressed in a long cloth that also covered her head. He came and told me, we went back to the couch ad he said she was gone. I am wondering about these balls of light. I am also really torn because many of my friends believe he is psychic. I was told it was the Bipolor and need to keep him medicated.
He has also awakened at night saying someone was jumping on his bed. I don’t know how to help him or if this is real or not. He is becoming afraid to tell anyone else because he thinks he is crazy.I am not sure wat I think at all or how to help him.
I also wanted to mention that Mason has also reported seeeng a ghost that was floating over his bed ‘before’ he went to sleep. He said it was a shorter ghost so he thought it was a kid ghost but couldn’t see a face. he said the body was like a bright blurry figure and he felt it was trying to talk to im but he didn’t understand. Mason is a very sweet loving even romantic minded child. By that I mean, he is so cmpletely full of love and wishes for a peaceful world. he often says comments not typical for a child his age, things that kids might have said generations ago. He has been tested for IQ and it was so high they said the results could not have been realistic, he must have had lucky guesses. Although he struggles with learning social concepts and emotional control. He is my 4 th child and I do see him as different than the “norm”. But I see him also as extremey and deeply filled with …some kind of …brightness? But without meds, he can become aggressive and even psychotic. At those times he has to be restrained and sometimes his eyes role back in his head and he looks euphoric. He will yell out horrible things. It’s so different than his normal self. His workers have even said to me that he looks like he is possessed. This also scares me, can this happen? Or is this really BiPolor?
Hi,
I have a four year old niece who sees children in room. For example, just yesterday she woke up from her sleep and was extremely scared because there was a little girl beside her dresser. She woke her mom up and told her where the little girl was & also described what she looked at, she told her mom the little girl would not come out because she was shy. She also described the little girl as “cold” & “shaking”. It appears that my niece is able to see these things more and more often. Any suggestions to help her? She says she thinks there is something wrong with her but we’ve actually turned it around and told her she has a special ability….any suggestions or tips are more than welcome. Thanks!
hi,
I think I may have a spiritualy intuitive child I have suspected she is gifted in this way since she began talking. She would tell very detailed biblical stories, things she had not been taught. Once she said “I saw what God looks like today”. Very matter of fact, she went on to describe what she saw as “bright and warm, like sun”. My husband and I are not intensly religious…we have avoided organized religion, although I believe in a higher being (more than ever now). This sort of thing has continued as she has gotten older, I say she has a direct line to God. Sometimes, I have wondered if I am good enough to raise this child, or maybe she has a purpose with me. Tonight, Aubrey’s twin sister and brother shared with me that she has described seeing “shadows” once “when she was five” she saw a man in my bedroom “looked like abraham lincoln(dressed old like him)” she said he was just looking into her eyes, “not mean like” she said he was blocking my side of the bed, so she got in on dad’s side. When I questioned her more, she also described seeing something around her bedroom ceiling She said it was like the “inside of the body” I think she is a little frightened at time, and yet not. I’m very interested in this.

I have read, re-read, and read again your situation with your 8 year old son Mason. Would you please call me at 817-847-8758 if you would like to talk further. I need to refer you to someone who can help you with Mason, and I need to know where you are geographically. I do get that your intelligent son is psychic, but also deeply empathic, causing part of the issues.
The information you have given me is contradictory: asperger’s is seldom associated with violence. Testing your child’s intelligence is not a guessing game and there are no lucky answers. I tested children’s IQ for years, so either you have the info wrong or someone is not giving you complete information.
Mason is psychic and empathic, and that doesn’t rule out that he could be also bipolar. However bipolar diagnoses for children are not given lightly, and you are the first person in fifteen years who has told me that her son was hospitalized for meds. It doesn’t rule out that the meds he may be on cause hallucinations. all of this could be true, and to give you a complete answer requires seeing the data, reading the trial meds, reviewing the IQ testing, reviewing his diet and the energy in your home. So much to coordinate, but with one person. I have seen sensitive children drink diet sodas and go off the wall in their behavior.
Bipolar diagnosis is not made lightly for children, and so did your son have a brain scan? Did they apprise you of any chemical imbalances? Or did they just stick him on meds? Being put in the hospital for a month at a time is so traumatic for a child, that I cannot begin to outline for you the support and nurturing that he needs. Of course he thinks he crazy, bevause everyone else believes he is. of course he doesn’t want to talk about it any more…all natural responses of trauma and crying out for help. The article below indicates bipolar disorder brain scans. I am angry at all that he has been through, and you are very courageous to hang in there with Mason and continue to seek help.
New Brain Scan May Diagnose Bipolar Disorder
Technique Tracks Chemical Changes in the Brain
By Peggy Peck
WebMD Health News Reviewed by Charlotte E. Grayson Mathis, MD
Nov. 30, 2004 (Chicago) — Researchers using a special type of imaging that tracks brain chemicals are able to produce a “chemical fingerprint of bipolar disorder,” a development that may lead to earlier diagnosis and aid in treatment.
If the results of this initial study are confirmed in larger trials, the technique, called MR spectroscopy, could “be a valuable diagnostic tool [for bipolar disorder] in two to three years,” Mayo Clinic radiologist John D. Port, MD, PhD, tells WebMD. Port presented results of his preliminary study at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America.
Doctors have long known that patients with bipolar disorder have abnormal amounts of certain chemicals in the brain that cause changes in mood – fluctuations between depression, normal mood, and mania.
MR spectroscopy uses ordinary MRI technology that is modified to view the chemical properties of brain tissue and thus theoretically can detect the chemical changes associated with bipolar disorder as well as other mental illnesses.
In Port’s study, MR spectroscopy was used to analyze various parts of the brain in 19 patients with bipolar disorder and 19 people without the condition. They looked at the parts of the brain believed to be involved in causing bipolar disorder as well as one “control” region that was not believed to be affected by the disease.
The scan analyzed the byproducts of five brain chemicals believed to be in abnormal quantities in bipolar disorder. A graphic representation of these region-by-region variations was produced. Those regional differences “are the patterns that serve as a chemical fingerprint [for bipolar disorder],” Port says.
The 19 patients with bipolar disorder were not receiving drugs used to treat the condition. “We wanted a picture of the bipolar brain in its natural state, before drugs could alter brain chemistry,” he says.
When he compared the MR spectroscopy images from the patients with bipolar disorder to scans of the people without the condition, “there were definite patterns — different patterns — that emerged in the bipolar patients,” he says.
“Differences were clearly visible [within the brain] based on [the] mood state [of the patient],” he says.
Patients with the most severe bipolar disorder had different patterns than patients with mild to moderate cases, suggesting that the severe bipolar disorder may require a different or more aggressive treatment.
Hi Tonie
Thanks so much for a great example of turning a child’s fear about what she sees into a game and gift. I have a whole book of examples to share with you – The book is on Amazon.com and you can order it right now by clicking on the book cover in the upper right hand corner of this blog. Psychic children possess a high level of intuition, just like a child with musical talent. If my child was a piano virtuoso, you can bet your money that I would provide lessons, but not all parents recognize the process of learning intuitively. In fact, look at how an intuitive child can have gifts in different ways. I’ll write an article about this for the blog, and watch for the chart of natural intelligences, enhanced by intuition.
Thank you for the info. I will give you a call because there is just too much information to write. As far as his history, at 4 He started having extreme sensitivities to light sound, and was a sensory seeker. He need to spin and jump to be calm. He developed tics- verbal and eye. He rarely slept. He began to panic in public and refused to even leave the house. He would do anything to keep from leaving. He needed every thing to happen in certain ways. He could hear the water in the pipes at night, and sounds no one else could hear.Things that should hurt- didn’t, and things that should not hurt- did. Like combing his hair would be painful, but hitting his head was not. He walked into a campfire when he was 5 and had 3rd degree burns to his feet. He became so dangerous, I took him for a mental health evaluation. He was Dx with OCD at the time and placed on Zoloft. After the Zoloft, he became physicly aggressive. Everytime I complained, they raised the Zoloft. Eventually he stabbed his sister in her side with a knife which led to hospitalization (at 6) for 1 week. They raised the Zoloft again and added resperidol. The visions, sounds, and ghosts seemed to go away, but the aggressive behavior came back worse than ever. I sought out many Doctors an he was Dx with everything you can imagine. I had him tested at the Childrens developemental unit at Childrens Pittsburgh, and they said he had aspergers. We arranged for a team of people to come to our home and work with him. The problems persisted and Aspergers did not explain the behaviors. I went back to the developemental unit, and they did co-morbid testing and DX him Aspegers with Bipolar1. by July 2007, he was so violent and dangerous, I took him to Pittsburgh- Western psyche and he was hospitalized again and taken off the meds, and put on abilify- they also DX him with Bipolar 1. He did great on the abilify. The aggression was under cntrol, and he was back to normal, minus a few quirks. He developed a heart condition and had to be weened off of the abilify. When he was weened, he went totaly crazy, and completely aggressive. At times we had to restrain him for over an hour until he was safe. He would hurt himself and us if we didn’t. That is what led to the one month stay at western psyche. They had a hard time getting him stable. He eventually was put back on Resperidol which is working great right now. He is back to the loving and sweet child I know. He has not done well socially at school or been able to maintain friendships. He tends to follow his set of rules, and is very perseverative with play. He even got punched in the eye the other day by a neighbor kid. We was so heart broken. He just didn’t understand. It is so sad. He started doing things to hurt himself at school and was regressing badly, I pulled him out and had him on homebound. He seemed to thrive after being taken out of school. He just started an emotional support learning class- that he LOVES, and is not showing signs of stress. Still outside of the DX, I see him as an “old heart” so deep in thought and feeling. There is just something about him that is much deeer much more advanced than even some adults I know. I see him as a spiritual being, full of hmm…Light??? And something just tells me that there is truth to the spirits, ghosts and sounds. My BIGGEST concern is that I want to address his needs appropriately. I have talked to him about the spirits, and have tried to give him some ideas on how to manage them. ideas that I have read here.
Why would he see balls of light?
He has had an MRI of his brain that was normal, but not the type of testing you talked of.
We live outside Pittsburgh, PA 40min East
An advocate that works with us suggested to me that I needed to seek pshycic help, and said to me, that it is very rare for child his age to suffer from pshycotic mental illness. My mother was mentaly ill, and often thought she was God, or profits. She spent the last five years of her life in bed. My brother has a mild form of bipolar. So it runs in my family.
Well, I will try to give you a call this week.
Thanks for the help.
Kim
My dear friend, what a journey you and your son have been on. I would like to do a full-blown medical reading on your son, but there are two other types of support that might help. I am so glad you live in PA because there is a person you may already know, but I believe he could help you. His name is Bill and here is his web site. http://www.williamstillman.com/. Please say I recommended you. He probablt won’t remember me, but we have the same publisher’s for out book.
Also, congrats on the home schooling, which I think may be the only way for your son to learn. I imagine his empathy is also associated with a recently recognized child problem. You sounds like the people and the diagnoses for your child are the best that medicine has to offer – the problem comes in a child’s response to the medications. It us truly a trial and error thing. so I want to suggest you read the book, The Out of Sync Child by Kranowitz. The author discusses the latest research on children who have a sensory processing disorder in dealing with their world, and your son’s symptoms sound classic. The treatment is usually with an occupational therapist and is very successful. Please let me know that you bill connected.

Hello my name is Annell, I have a 2 year old daughter who has been saying some very strange things to me about a dear friend that died december 28th 2008. She was found hung. I have intuitive abilities also and have my entire life. I am picking up something not being right with my friends death. My 2 year old has been telling me were she hurt her neck and how she pulls her hair and also tells me she hurt her lips and eyes. She speaks of my friend being thrown on a bed and something about a pillow. I feel my friend is trying to tell me something. I am not getting it. My friend and I used to talk about how we thought my daughter was seeing things. Now my friend is gone and I feel my little girl knows the answers and I’m getting them bits n pieces. Is there something I can do to help my daughter express herself. She is only 2 and some times I can’t understand her words very well. Some things are very clear. Last night was the stangest when she asked for the hat my friend had given me , we played peek a boo and then she got this very mean serious look on her face and grabbed my hair and pulled it very hard and said Nanna pulled hair and repeated herself over and over. Nanna is what she called my friend. When she realized it was hurting me, she took my hand and put it in my hair and had me pull my own hair and kept repeating the same thing over and over. I believe she is trying to tell me something , but I want to help my daughter unlock what it is she is trying to get across to me , from my friend.
Hi,
I need help, i have a 13 year old son who has seen ghost since he was a young child. When he was younger (preschool), he would say things like “grandma came to see me at school” and so on. But then he just stopped saying anything so we let it go. He is a very serious person and sometimes seems very unsure of things? He finally told us about a year ago that he’s been seeing things all this time, but sometimes has a hard time telling if they’re real or not? He can’t sleep at night and is doing badly in school because he can’t wake up in the morning. They don’t bother him they are just there. It seems like they know he can see them so they come to him? I feel terrible for him because i can’t do anything to help him? He says it’s not all the time but lately he is doing so bad. He can’t sleep, at night i hear him up in his room. I have noticed he is doubtling himself again. Like checking if a door is closed twice, etc. I don’t know what to do? Should i take him to see a doctor? I had him talk to someone in a similar situation and they had told him to ask them if they needed help but he’s only a child and extremely scared…..can you help me with this?
Morning Annell
The death memory imprint seems especially strong around your daughter as does the spirit of your friend, not in any negative or frightening way. I agree with you that your friend is trying to communicate, and your daughter is the most open to receiving right now. I don’t feel that your daughter has the capacity to explain or demonstrate to you any more than she already has. At this point, it is up to you to contact your friend through your own powers or through a psychic to speak with her directly. Don’t place the communication of burden on your daughter. Her part as I see it is to make you aware of the need to connect and communicate with your friend, and you should take it from there?
If you want to provide your friend’s first name. I am happy to connect also, and we’ll see what information needs to be relayed.
Caron,
I agree my daughter has done enough. I don’t her to be in the middle anylonger. I would very much like to be the one to communicate with my friend. I would appreciate it so much if you could connect also. Her name is Annette, but I always called her Anna or my daughter called her Nanna. I hope she will communicate soon. I just feel there is something so strong that she is trying to get across to me. Thank you again. Annell Nation
Message: “Let her know the truth will be uncovered, and how lucky I am to have a friend who cares and knows and with empathy, can be sensitive to such situations as mine. Your daughter understands and feels the trauma of my experience. Through her avenue of pure feeing and intuition, she seeks to give me relief for a moment of sheer terror, frozen in time, and locked in my memory. Yet I can concentrate my attention to you and ask you to send your love to me to help me break through my fears of moving onward. I am cogent, yet fearful, seeking direction. Your love is strong, and thank you for being aware for me.”
Hope this helps.
Dear Kealiiholokai
Your issue with your son has three different levels of answers, and I am going to write some articles for you. The first level is a checklist on how to make sure he can sleep…the second level is how to help him feel safe…and the third level is how to encounter the ghosts.
Please watch the blog in the next week or so for postings, because what you need answers for are more common than you think…I just spoke with a mom this morning about her 8 year old son who was so scared he couldn’t sleep at night either.
YOU SAID, “They don’t bother him they are just there”. SINCE YOU SAY THAT HE IS NOT SLEEPING AND THAT YOU CAN HEAR HIM AT NIGHT, I WOULD SAY HE IS BOTHERED, AND WE DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH. CAN YOU ASK HIM ON A SCALE OF ONE TO TEN, HOW MUCH HE IS BOTHERED? AND THEN LET’S GET SOME SPECIFICS. ALSO WHY DO YOU THINK THAT YOUR SON ATTRACTS THESE GHOSTS? GIVE ME YOUR FEELINGS AND WE CAN CONTINUE OUR DIALOGUE, AND I CAN MENTOR YOU THROUGH HELPING HIM IF YOU WISH.
It seems like they know he can see them so they come to him? YOU ARE RIGHT. THEY DO SEE THAT HE CAN SEE, AND THEY COME TO HIM, BUT WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY WANT? DO THEY WANT TO SPEAK WITH HIM? NEED HELP IN SOME WAY? CAN YOUR SON GIVE US SOME ANSWERS?
I feel terrible for him because i can’t do anything to help him? ACTUALLY YOU HAVE TAKEN THE FIRST STEP IN LEARNING HOW TO HELP HIM, SO THAT IS GOOD…PLEASE BUY THE BOOK, RAISING INTUITIVE CHILDREN AN THAT WILL ALSO PROVIDE YOU WITH EXCELLENT INFORMATION ON HOW TO HELP HIM FEEL SAFE.
My son’s father recently passed. From time to time he sees him in my room. He is only 2 years old. And when he sees his dad he describes in detail the angels that are with him. Sometimes baby angels, and another time one big Angel, but he says his dady doesn’t have wings (just hands). I didn’t even know he knew what an angel was. His dad passed during Christmas and we went to a friends house and there was a Nativity under the tree. He said “Look Mommy there is an Angel like with Daddy.”
My son even told me one time that his Daddy wanted to sleep with us in my room and if that was ok with me? And then showed me where his daddy was laying in the bed on the pillow.
These are only a few of the times. Is he really seeing something or is it just his imagination or just missing him? It’s not something he does on a daily basis, usually late at night a few times a month..
When he is seeing these “visions” I just sit and listen.
What should I say to him? How long will he have these “visions”?
Thank you
The message you gave me from my friend is very helpful. It sounds like something she would say to me. My love is on its way to her on the wings of the wind. My daughter has calmed some , but continues to tell me things maybe once a week. My nephew was killed in a car accident March 14th and my daughter says they are together. Thank you for your time with this matter.
You are welcome annell – again, love and caring to you and yours.
Caron
hi there Caron,
i talked to you a couple of months ago (January 13th) and everything has been fine since then, and my friend that has passed on (Scott) comes to visit me at night, untill recently.
well i have been having these really strange dreams everynight for the past week, and its always me sitting in a dark room with a blue light shining on me, and these people that have their faces wrapped up in bandages exept for one eye, come out and start talking to me saying “kill someone, summer. you like to kill, you were born to kill. use your power to kill people” and i didnt think much of it the first night, but then i had the same dream for the next few days, and they always said the same thing, Except for last night, when they told me they were going to kill my friend Kyle (who is in the hospital with sezuires, but he dosnt have epilepsy and the doctors dont know whats causing them) they said they were going to kill him, and he was going to die. i am already very scared by Kyle being in the hospital, and i dont know if these dreams are he result of that, or not.
Scott hasnt been comeing to visit me every night like he used to, and when he does, he says he wont stay long. when i ask him why, he says “im afraid of the people in bandages.”
and as of 2 days ago, i dont just hear them in my dreams. i am aslo starting to hear them at school. its fairly distracting, but i cant ignore them like i do the other voices. and yesterday, i even saw one of them in the hallways, the classroom, and even when i was on the bus. These people are really starting to get to me, and im not sure how to deal with them, as they are not like other spirits i have delt with. these seem stronger, and more powerful. they do not have a whispy look to them, they look solid, like real people.
i would really like some of your advice on this.
Thank You.
Hello – I found this website when searching for some explanation or insight about my daughter Olivia. Olivia is 7 and is as spiritual as an 7 year can be. She appreciates her crystals, talks to her angels and understands that those who have passed can send us messages through other people. She is starting to show an interest in reiki healing. Over the past month Olivia has a spirit with her during the day (at school) and other places as well, including home. She said the vision of him fades in and out. She has decribed him in detail. He has grey and black hair with a big loopy curl or wave in the front, his cheeks are red, he mostly wears a suit but she has seen him in one piece zip-up overalls, she said he held his hands funny. She is not afraid of him. I told her to talk to him, ask him his name and ask if he is there to tell her something good. She told me his name was Thomas (His friends call him Tommy) and he was there for something good. She said she tries to ask him other questions but it’s like he can’t talk (not even in his head). And when he does he can’t say alot at one time – just some words. I asked if it was a language barrier and she didn’t know. Since she’s been exposed to knowledge of life beyond earth I am not sure her imagination has gotten the best of her…..that is my mind speaking — my intuition says she is experiencing this and I want to be able to help her take advantage of this gift and be able to speak to this spirit. Do you know if this is her spirit guide or a passed relative? How can I help her to be able to communicate with him? And, why can’t he talk? Is it because she can’t bring herself to that level/demenison and he cannot bring himself down to it? If so, why can see him but not hear him? Before Olivia even told me about him not speaking my friend who is medium describe this same person to me and she also said he could not talk and was very frustrated about it — he showed her pictures instead…none of which made sense. It was the 1920’s 1930’s he was standing at a cottage door looking out into trees. When trying to give messages he showed himself standing as if he were bound up and standing with him hands tight to his body. And then he showed himself dressed as a car racer (in the 20’s-30s) playing a game of cards (cards has scenery on them) drinking scotch. And then he showed himself standing at the door smoking a ciggarette giving up b/c he couldn’t get the message through. He was pointing at this throat most of time trying to say he couldn’t talk. She did know the message was for Olivia…unfortuately we couldn’t get it
Can you help me. Thank you. Deb Brown
Dear Summer
Two things seem to be happening…Scott needs to move on to another realm where he can be in a higher light vibration. Next time you speak with him, ask him if this is true. If he says yes, then I ask you to wish him well and say goodbye to him. We don’t want your caring for him to hold him closer to the earth plane if he is ready to go home. Understand? We can never hold anyone back because of any need we have.
I feel like through Scott that you have tuned into a lower energy frequency, and the vision you see of other people telling you to kill others is a negative frequency for you. If I were in private psychotherapy practice, and you came to me an told me of these visions, I would think you were having psychosis, a break from reality, and might be suicidal. As a therapist, I would have to view your symptoms as as a medical issue. Yet, when I tune into you, you seem clear about the difference between your realities. So you have to say goodbye to Scott and close the door on the lower frequencies, otherwise, I would think you have suicidal thoughts.
So here are some tough questions for you to answer…please get back to me?
1. Do you believe the voices you hear?
2. are you deepy depressed?
3. Do you have thoughts of suicide?
4. Do you have an adult whom you trust to discuss this with?
5. What is your geographic location in case I know someone in the area?
6. How do handle the voices? can you tell them to shut up, go away?
7. Tell me if this works for you? Can you close an energetic door and leave them behind?
anxious to hear from you
Caron
Yes, Deb, I can help you, but I feel your friend who is the medium already knows the whole story. So what is the problem in not relaying the man’s story and helping him?
caron
Hi Caron – Thank yoiu for the quick response. I believe my friend has tried to help me interpet what the message is by giving me all the clues, however, is having a difficult time since he is not using his words. I trust her enough and can’t imagine that she would be with holding any information — if you still feel differently please let me know and I will ask her again. At the beginning of Olivia’s sightings my friend did get the impression that he was from one of her past lives and he was always interested in working with her but never had the opportunity…..she only mentioned that the first time – it never came up again.
Do you get anything from this? Do you think it is a passed relative, someone for past life or a spirit guide?
Also, can you give me some advice on what Olivia can do to communicate with him.
Thanks again.
Deb.
hi Caron-
here are the answers to your questions:
1. Do you believe the voices you hear? –no
2. are you deepy depressed?–no
3. Do you have thoughts of suicide?–no
4. Do you have an adult whom you trust to discuss this with?–yes
5. What is your geographic location in case I know someone in the area?–Stillwater, Oklahoma, USA
6. How do handle the voices? can you tell them to shut up, go away?– i have tried this, but they just wont leave no matter what i try.
7. Tell me if this works for you? Can you close an energetic door and leave them behind?– honestly, i dont know how. this is what i would like help with. could you help me by explaining how to do this?
Hi Deb
I didn’t mean to imply at all that your friend was withholding anything. It was more a matter of going deeper into the energy or penetrating the wall. Since psychics gifts are so different, I woudn’t presume to guess or intuit how another person perceives realities. I am aware that some souls who have not been in the physical for a long time do not move closer to the earth plane and could appear to others to be behind a glass wall and cannot be heard. It would take the psychic to move into that plane and speak with the soul. For some psychics, it might seem like standing at the edge of the fog, through which they can’t see, but can hear. Or moving to higher planes, it would be like penetrating the light, which can be blinding, but one can hear and deal with the realm through clairaudience. I am happy to pass on this private message from Thomas aaron to Olivia, and would do so privately. Please send me a private email through caron 30 @ gmail.com
Cheers
Dearest Summer, I am sorry it has taken so long to respond. I have been waiting on a response from someone in your area that I thought might help, but they must be on vacation as I’ve not heard back, I appreciate your clear mind and to close the door on the beings requires focus and a sense of power from within…like in your gut.
When my husband got a Great Dane, he was one big dog, seemed a little overwhelming at first. In dog training, sit is the first command, and when I said, “Sit,” the dog just looked at me. My voice was high in my throat and weak, When I centered myself in the hara center, the gut, my voice was deeper and had more strength with it. Then the dog sat. Get the analogy?
The power to say “Go away. You do not belong here. By the power of light within me, leave me alone.” etc, has to come from within your strength, your gut, and you have to mean it.
The key to this energy is what you resist will persist.
another way is to close your eyes, get centered, calm and strong, and imagine a giant door to that realm. Close it and lock it. You are basically instructing your mind to close the door an disconnect. Give this some time. It might take 2 or 5 times until you really mean it. Get angry about it if you need to gain strength.
Let me know how this works for you, if you feel stronger and let’s keep conversing.

Hello,
My son is 6 and will be 7 on April 24th. He has not told me that he sees anything but sometimes when he is going to the bathroom before bedtime, he peaks out of the door and then runs to the bathroom and then when he is done he runs back into the bedroom. I ask him what is wrong but he does not explain. Something else happened, when I was in the bedroom sitting on the bed he was in the livingroom playing he came into my bedroom and said to me you look just like your great, great, great, great grandmother. I asked him how he knew, he said he met her before God built him.
Can you take anything from this?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I posted a question ealier about my son and it seems to have disappeared or was it deleted, I am not sure so I will post it again. I have a 6 year old son soon to be 7 who is very scared of the dark. At night when it is time for bed he peeks out of the bedroom to look down the hall then he runs to the bathroom and when he is done he peeks out of the bathroom before running back to the bedroom. I am not sure why he does this because the lights are on at this time, I ask him why and he doesn’t really give me an answer. Once he came to me and said that I look like my great, great, great, great grandmother and when I asked him how does he know he responded he met her before God build him. He started talking last year this is when he started putting sentences together where I could understand. Just wondering if there is anything you can take from this.
Thanks in advance, I guess when I visit the site again if this is missing I will know that it was deleted.
Caron,
well ive closed the door, and he is gone. i think. he hasnt been comeing the last couple of nights, so im pretty sure hes gone.
the people in bandages havnt left, but they arnt like grabbing me and talking to me, they just stare at me. What are they doing?
Whoo Hoo Summer – you are doing well – gaining empowerment girl!! The people in bandages may want assistance. You can ask them directly what they need. However, you need not be responsible for that assistance. If you wish to be, then ask me how.
Another technique that the kind and famous medium John Holland shared is to imagine a dial in you head, and turn down the brightness of your light so it doesn’t attract so many spirits.
Summer, do you want to share what you did and how you did it. I always think our stories help other people, and that is what we are about… If it is private, please know that I respect that also.
cheers
well sure i would be happy to!
well after i read your advice, i waited for Scott to come that night. when i saw him, i asked him if would rather move on then stay here with me, and he said it would be much easier, but he didnt want to leave me. i said it would be ok, and he could meet me and escort me away after i move on, and he said ok, he was ready to go.
In my head i imagioned a light opening up behind him, and envisioned his dead puppy running out to meet him so he wouldnt be lonely.
after that i made his angel fade into the light with his dog Pixi at his heels.
he turned around to wave goodbye, and then i made the light grow dimmer and dimmer untill it was gone.
and after that there was just a sence of extream peace, and i knew he was gone.
~Summer~
Thanks for the beautiful story Summer. It brought tears to my eyes. I also wish Scott well and that he be in peace.

I have a 9 year old son who is mentally challenged, he is normal in every aspect except he has the mind capacity of about a 5 year old. His dad and I are divorced, we both have remarried. His dad doesn’t have much to do with him and he is always trying to get attention, I’m not sure if it’s due to his disability or his dad rejecting him. Recently he told us that he sees a black man in his room. He says he sees him all the time, about every day. I asked him if it is an African American or a black shadow type man. He first said an African American, then he said it is more like a shadow, he can’t really see it’s face. That it wears a black coat and pants. It seems hard to believe but 2 years ago my family went on vacation, my oldest daughter and my son in law was going to house sit for us. After the second day of our vacation, my daughter called me crying saying that she couldn’t stay in our house any longer. She saw a black shadow like man and that they heard things. This was never told to my youngest son and now it is 2 years later, I’m hearing the same story again from him. I haven’t seen things but I sense things all the time, maybe because of the stories? I don’t know. I think I hear footsteps upstairs sometimes. The house isn’t very old, about 4 years old. It is way out in the country so I don’t know if the house has been built on a battle ground or something of that nature. I’ve also heard that you can have an item brought into your home that could carry spirits. Does anyone have any advice for me?
Caron, i would just like to thank you for helping me send Scott to a happier place. I know he will be waiting for me when i pass on.
Summer
i would also like to know how to help the other people as well.
could you explain?
Summer
When you say help other people, do you mean other souls on the other side or help others like you who see ghosts? Yes, I can probably explain, but I am not clear.
And I THANK YOU for being open to helping Scott. Not all people would let go so easily because of their own needs, you know?
Caron
im sorry if i wasnt clear..i ment help the other souls. (the ones whos faces are wrapped in bandeges.)
it was hard to let him go, but i knew it had to be done you make him truly happy. =]
Hi Karen
It does sound like a ghost. What is your son’s name, and your geographic location, city and state only. Then I can tune in.
Also what kind of help are you seeking? Verification? Something about your son? Yourself? The ghost? Fill me in!
Caron
Michelle,
You ask me about your six year old son, and I did receive both of your posts, but for some reason, it is not showing up here. So you wrote:I have a 6 year old son soon to be 7 who is very scared of the dark. At night when it is time for bed he peeks out of the bedroom to look down the hall then he runs to the bathroom and when he is done he peeks out of the bathroom before running back to the bedroom. I am not sure why he does this because the lights are on at this time, I ask him why and he doesn’t really give me an answer. Once he came to me and said that I look like my great, great, great, great grandmother and when I asked him how does he know he responded he met her before God build him. He started talking last year this is when he started putting sentences together where I could understand. Just wondering if there is anything you can take from this.
Here is my take: There is some thought in your son’s head that he has to keep this secret, whether he feels disapproval within himself or feels he has a secret, only he knows, and the behavior is normal for his age because it is important for him to be and feel accepted at age six. The giveaway that he sees was the great grandmother comment. I’ve heard stories like this before of children seeing relatives, humming a song of a another family member who has passed on that they don’t know. So my gut level reaction is that he does see. My question to you why do you think he is keeping it a secret?
C
Hi Caron,
Thank you for your response. My son’s name is Christian and we are located in Lawrenceburg, Ky. I don’t know what I’m asking for. I’ve talked to my son some more about what he is seeing. My son said that the shadow peeks around the door at him. My husband and I do that sometimes to check on him. Is it possible that subconciously he is seeing this in his sleep? Christian had his tonsils and adnoids out last week, my husband works night shift so I was letting him sleep in my bed so that I could watch him and make sure he didn’t have any bleeding or vomiting in his sleep. After he went in my bed, I was passing his room down the hall and I think I saw the black shadow in my son’s room. It was out of the corner of my eye so I don’t know if it was real or not. I am walking around very paranoid in my home now and scared all the time. I think the talk of it is bringing it in? Is a black shadow considered an evil entity? I’m a Christian so it’s a bit out of my realm and logical thinking. I know there is scripture that speaks of evil spirits and demons but I would like to know if this is something I should even be concerned about. I hope this doesn’t offend anyone but I never thought I’d come to a psychic website asking about ghosts in my house. Just anyone that can pick up on anything would be helpful. I don’t know what information I need to offer for help so it’s easier if someone can ask me questions and I can answer.
Hi Karen, Thank you for your response. Knowing the circumstances can make all the difference in the world in how to respond to you. So let me reassure you that many people with intuitive gifts are people of faith, and no offense is taken/ Thanks for having the courage to ask. I always feel there is a positive reason people connect, and I am glad you did. No, shadows are not evil entities. This is my sense of the situation, and I have a few suggestions to see if this makes a difference in the fear levels, and then you can let me know how this works.
Surgery like Christian had can stress the adrenal glands and cause the temporal lobes, parts of the brain (side of the head at the temples), to be overly active with stress hormones. Also with the medications in the body, the visual field can be affected. My first feeling is that the shadow figure is not a ghostly ghost, but a creation of the cloudy mind and stressed body that Christian has experienced. And it is scary to him, so the fear is real, and I am not saying to discount the shadow at all. For Christian’s sake, I would treat it as real, like a monster in the closet. I think you feel your son’s fear and also saw the shadow because of your deep connection to him. This is not uncommon in a parent and child with a strong bond.
So what to do? What do you usually do when scared? I would suggest that a great way to help Christian is to pray for Jesus, God or the angels to bring God’s love into your home, scoop the shadow figure up and carry it away into the light. This is my version of the scenario. You can certainly create your own version.
In one sense, I am asking you to act out a play for Christian’s sake because of his surgery, and his fear that came after such a trauma to make a ghost go away. You play with him by not making him wrong, rather simply accepting what he has to say without fear and trust that your connection to Jesus and God will also strengthen Christian’s fear and help him recover faster. Such intense fear as he is experiencing makes healing go slower.
Is this something you can do?
My daughter Teaghan will be 3 in about a week. Yesterday morning on the way to daycare she asked me if the scary monster man was going to come back in her room. She didn’t want him to because he made her cry. He scared her. She also told me that he had shot her with a gun. The night before she was outside playing with her 13 year old sister and had heard a gunshot and was scared and wanted to go inside. At daycare yesterday she was very tired and defiant… very unlike her. She is a very happy child who gets along well with all of the kids.
Last night my boyfriend asked her about the man in her room and she told him that he was a monster and that her friend Maggie (Maggie is her real friend and is 6 months younger than Teaghan) plays with him but that she (Teaghan) is afraid of him. She also told him that this man had crashed his truck in our yard and now comes to visit. She said that she is afraid that he will take her.
Well about 10 years ago (we moved here 5 years ago), there was an older man who was a pig farmer who had crashed his truck into the embankment on our property and had died!
I believe that young children see ghosts and it doesn’t scare me. I also don’t think that he is scaring her intentionally. She is a very shy little girl and is afraid of strangers, especially men… her friend Maggie is not. I don’t want to tell her that it isn’t real, because it probably is real…but I don’t know what to tell her. She is only 3. I don’t want to scare her any more. She won’t go upstairs now unless someone is with her and she won’t sleep in her room at all. She slept with us last night.
The other thing is, we are moving next week into my boyfriends very old brick house. There has been talk of a friendly ghost in that house. There probably is a good chance that if she sees this one that she will see that one too? Can you tell me what I should say to her. Thank you
Hi Caron,
I understand what you are telling me but I think I may have confused you. Christian saw the shadow way before his surgery. I was telling you about the surgery because I was setting the scenario for when I saw the shadow. Also, my 24 year old daughter is still insistent on there being something strange going on in this house. She said she doesn’t get this feeling anywhere but here. She claims she saw that shadow 2 years ago. I’m not trying to convince anyone that I have a ghost but I don’t think it’s a figment of Christian’s imagination due to medication. I may have very well seen what I thought was a shadow because of my connection with my son. His dad doesn’t play much of a role in his life. His dad’s parents live in NC and my parents were killed several years ago so other than me, his stepdad and half and step siblings, he doesn’t have anyone else but me. He isn’t acting as though he is scared, he is just very matter of fact about the shadow.
Thanks for the clarification, Karen. You are right. I was confused. Here is what I understand is going on: You have verification that three of you have seen the shadow. The shadow seems to be a lingering energy which has been there a while, at least two years. Three of you have “felt” the energy of the shadow and agree that it is not comfortable and for Christian, it is downright scary.
Have I got that right? If so, then how can I help you? It does seem clear from your seeing and feeling the shadow that it is real. Where would you like to go from here?
Caron
Hi Brandi
Can you clarify your question about what to say to your daughter? Do you mean, what to say
to handle the ghost?
to make the ghost go away?
to make her okay with the ghost?
I am happy to help, but nor clear on the need?
Caron
Hi. My name is Teresa, I have a little girl that lives next door to me that has been talking about “Shadow People” that are in her house. She told me that she was psychic and that they were ghosts. I asked her where she learned such a big word as psychic at such a young age of 7 and she said she had heard it. I asked her if the shadow people were scary and she said that they were. I tried to talk to her about bad dreams and that I understood what she was going through. She was very adoment that it was not a dream and that she saw them when she was awake. In the daytime she saw them as shiney. She also mentioned that they talk all at once and it is very difficult to undedrsand them. I asked her if she had talked to her parents about this and she said that they dont believe her. I am very open to the concept of the paranormal for I have experienced things myself. I want to give her advice, but I dont know what to tell her. Please let me know how to guide her with her gift.
Hi Teresa, How lucky is your neighbor child to have someone to mentor her. Can you explain to me what some of your experiences have been, and then I can suggest strategies that are complementary between you. More important than anything is that she have someone to talk with who just listens, makes no judgment calls, and helps her clarify what she experiences. For example, knowing she sees them consistently does tell us it is not a dream. Also it seems that she doesn’t know how to focus on that realm to discern what is going on. For instance, it is like she describes a door open to another room, and all she hears if the loud noise of a party, rather than entering the room and meeting one person. I do not know if she is ready to do that, or even wants to do that. Much depends upon her fear level about it all, but also her desire about the experiences. What are your thoughts on her fear level?
Caron
Hi, Caron. How glad I am to have found this link. I have a nearly 11yo son who is seeing a werewolf everywhere. He will jerk in the seat next to me in the car, and tell me the werewolf just jumped off the lightpole onto the roof of a nearby vehicle and it scared him. He sees shadows, and he says he sees demons. Yesterday he said one was flying alongside our car, and it was trying to talk to him. I urged him not to listen to it, and to rebuke it in Jesus’ name and tell it to go away, and he said he did but it didn’t work. I asked him to look away from the demon, which he appeared to be staring at outside the window, and look at me, and he couldn’t turn his head. It was such drama, I thought he was faking that part. He has had a hideous year and is depressed, just started on meds for it. I never heared of any of these sightings until we began treating the depression (professional psychiatric care), but he says it’s been going on since he was 4 or 5 and just didn’t want to scare me. I believe children can see ghosts, but demons and werewolves? And nothing but demons and werewolves? We are Christians and have blessed the house; I bless my son every night and we have as parents tried to command these things to leave by the authority of Jesus, and they still trouble him. What do you make of this? His name is Matthew and we live in the Richmond, Va. area. Thanks so much.
Hi, I am dismayed to learn, from a crystal healer/psychic that a negative entity, the soul of a very bad dead child whose name is Daniel, has been visiting my 8-year-old daughter for several years. He has been “possessing’ her more and more and using her body because Gwyneth, my daughter, is an indigo child and he is attracted to her energy and wants to use it. She is the one who needs to dispel him, but the healer says that my daughter is a bit like the child of abuse, who has been sworn to secrecy, and also that she is used to Daniel and feels sorry for him. How can I help Gwyneth to dispel the entity? I have been using sage and we have been ordering him to go, but he keeps popping in.
Also, are there any support groups for psychic children in the L.A. area?
hi my name is Michelle, and I went searching to find answers, I have a 22 month old daughter named liberty, and for the past few months she has not been sleeping very well, before bedtime when we have quiet time she is constantly looking at the back slider door saying that the doggy is going to get her and she is scared, I feel that this is real and not just imagineary, but what can i do to help her, it seems to me that this entity is taking the form of a dog to try not to scare her but I think it scares her more, she used to talk to my husbands g-ma who passed on a few years ago, I could even feel g-ma when my daughter and I would sit in the chair that belonged to her. anyways any input into what it is that my daughter is seeing would be great. thanks Michelle & liberty, hillsboro, OR.
Dear Margaret,
I believe your son sees what he says. What you describe sounds like the images have captivated his focus, and I am glad that he is under psychiatric care, especially if his visions have been going on for five years. Yes, children see scary things, and demons and werewolfs are rare, and come from his internal world view, not ghosts like a kids might see on a Civil War battlefield, which I hear more about.
I would like to help, and right now, I have more questions than answers. So, if you are willing, let’s start at the beginning…answering as you can. I have no desire to dive into private lives. In my own work with children, I have learned that something traumatic to the child sparks their fears. When they hold onto these fears a long time, the fears have to express in some way, even as images they interact with. One child I worked with was spanked by her father, but she was so sensitive and empathic to his anger, that she became physically sick, asthmatic, and couldn’t sleep for months…all from one spanking. What is traumatic to one child might roll off another. So on to the questions:
What happened at age four or five that was traumatic for your son?
In his early school years, what behavioral changes did you noticed? More shyness? Bullying at school? Reactive behaviors? daydreaming? Abnormal fears?
How do you judge his sensitivity?
There are ways to help your son deal with these images and interactions, and It requires empowering him again to feel he can do so. When he has fallen into such a depression, most children feel powerless or helpless and not in control of their lives. To fight this, he has to gain a modicum of control.
For example, if rebuking the image in the name of Jesus did not work, then you might call upon Jesus to stand by you and your son together, feel the Presence of Jesus with you. If your son can feel this, then he will not feel alone, and he has to learn to trust this connection again, find faith again.
There are simple ways like focusing, self-talk, exercise, gentle touch like acupressure to embrace the things we fear and face them with strength, but his images won’t disappear overnight. It is going to take time, focus, compassion and connection. These are tools I use in helping children regain their sense of strength in life.
So shall we continue this discussion for your son’s sake?
Caron
Hi Frieda
I am a bit dismayed also that a psychic would tell you this and then not help your daughter clear the energy. Saging, telling it to leave and such strategies won’t work here for three reasons:
1. your daughter feels a connection from empathy for the spirit and she has to willingly release this.
2. the spirit has to be calmed, spoken with and convinced to go through a door of light to “home.”
3. You and Gwyneth need to imagine and create this door of light for the boy.
Do you know how to do this? If not, set an appointment with me, and we’ll talk it through. Please, also buy Raising Intuitive Children as there is discussion in this book about the topic.

I would like to understand what my daughter is going through. Since we moved in March my daughter has had two incounters with seeing a scary man. We didn’t think much of it since it was during the night, also she didn’t mention it again until about 2 weeks ago and at this point it was only talking not seeing. This past weekend she was with my mother for the weekend and she told her she seen a funny man, no one was there. She not only seen the man at night but he was following her now during the day. When my mother asked her what he was doing and she says “nothing” or “rocking in the chair” or “he is in the window.” The first night she stayed she was up only once, the second night she was up all night, my daughter is a really good sleeper and my mother’s house isn’t strange to her since that is where she grew up before we moved. Since we moved she has been there a few times and nothing like this has happened until this past weekend. I am not sure what to think but I don’t want her being scared of whatever it is that is happening. I have never seen her trying to talk with anyone/anything such as a imaginary friend etc so this is really hard for me to understand what is going on. Can you help?
Hi Caron,
I have bought a copy of Raising Intuitive Children and look forward to reading it.
My crystal healer did create the light for the entity who called himself Daniel (healer said he gave a false name), but though his mother was waiting for him in the light, he refused to go. We talked with Gwyneth about rejecting this spirit, but he continued to visit during the week.
A week later, our healer returned, this time with her mentor. And this time, the healer realized that the entity of the little boy was actually being shadowed by a darker entity, perhaps demonic. She was able to separate the two and send the sad and frightened spirit of the little boy to the light where his mother was waiting for him. It seems that the little boy had been shadowed/possessed/influenced by this demonic entity in his own life. Meanwhile, the mentor worked on spiritually cleansing my daughter.
Anyway, bottom line is that my daughter is now free of the entity. We are working on having her sense energy and protect herself from future invasions. Apparently, she is too “open”.
Thank you for your input.
Hi Frieda
That is great news. I am very happy to see the healer help your daughter as it was a pretty big task to handle. Have you noticed any significant behavioral changes since the clearing?

Hi Caron,
My name is Susan. My 11yo granddaughter, Kate, had an episode at school yesterday. She was in math class and the teacher called on her to answer a question. She began to answer the question and then grabbed her head, started crying and ran out of the room. The teacher followed and found her rocking back and forth on the bathroom floor saying make them stop over and over. The teacher said, “Make who stop?” Kate said the voices in my head. She was taken to the nurses office and they called her mother at work. When her mother arrived at the school, they wanted to send Kate to be evaluated at the ER by ambulance. Kate’s mother declined saying she would take her herself, that she didn’t want Kate further frightened by going in an ambulance. Kate’s mother Marie then called me. I went with Kate and Marie to the ER where we requested a full medical workup to rule out an organic cause as well a a psychiatric evaluation to rule out mental illness. I want to point out that this was the first time Kate ever heard voices that noone else could hear. For about 2 months prior to this incident, Kate had been seeing faces in the tiles of her shower. She also reported that for the first time (2 days prior to hearing the voices for the 1st time), she saw the faces outside of her shower, at a friends vacation home in another state and this time she saw their entire bodies, not just the faces. So far the medical workup has been perfectly normal. There are still a few tests pending though. The psychiatrist is calling this a ‘psychosis’. I am an RN and have seen no signs of mental illness (other than these incidents of seeing and hearing things noone else sees or hears). I would think that if these were associated with a mental illness, there would be other less severe symptoms that would appear first. I did talk to her mother and asked her to keep an open mind and consider the fact that her daughter might be psychic. She said that she would, but expresses confusion and fear regarding how to help her daughter. We would appreciate any information and assistance you might be able to provide. We live in Boston, Ma. I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Susan
Hi there,
Both of my daughters, 6 and 13 years, see, feel and hear spirits.
My oldest (Elise) didn’t say anything about it until she was 10. Looking back over her childhood it makes perfect sense….she was afraid much of the time and she had very strong feelings about people. Immediate reactions to people, she wouldn’t talk to them, would hide, etc. But it was only specific people. Though I didn’t understand it, I always accepted her reaction and supported it. Once she started talking about it she is much more comfortable. I hate that she spent all of that time dealing with this on her own. She sees auras and has started figuring out what auras tell her about a person. She will communicate with the spirits, letting them know that she sees or feels them. She says that most of the time that is all they need, to be acknowledged. She says that they are around her because they know she can communicate with them.
From the time that my youngest (Morgan) could speak, she would tell me about “ghosts” and describe them. Then, she kind of stopped talking about it with me, but I encouraged her to talk to her sissy if she had questions or needed help. I feel that she is even more sensitive than her big sister. Lately, she says that when she closes her eyes she sees bad things and she cries. I ask her what things and she won’t elaborate. My oldest daughter explained to her that the spirits aren’t trying to scare or hurt her and they know that she can see them, that’s why they are there. Now it’s even animals that come to visit.
My older daughter showed her how she asks them to please leave her alone and to move on and it worked, except that one of the dogs, Biscuit, left with the rest and my little one was sad about that.
I am concerned that she is getting overwhelmed and I want to help her with this. My oldest daughter is doing everything to help based on intuition and what she has already “figured out”. She feels that the women in my family have a long history of “gifts” but she thinks it is stronger every other generation.
Does this make sense? I my oldest on the right track? What should we do to help my little one?
By the way…both girls are very bright, very social, great students, get along great with people. I just don’t want either of them to be negatively impacted or not know how to handle their gifts. I am very intuitive, but I don’t have any ability to communicate with spirits on any level.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Stephanie
Please buy the book, Raising Intuitive Children. There are many answers in there. Also we need to find out what scares her. The logic of them not scaring her is not congruent with her gut level feeling that something is amiss. A child will always go with their feeling, they are feeling oriented, not logic oriented. So always start with her feeling: Where do you feel this? Put you hand there? what color is the feeling? What size if the feeling. Keep asking metaphorical questions until her fear is gone or diffused. That will help handle the fear. Also among all the ghosts, she could find one guardian angel, but she’ll have to ask for “the purest being of light to help and protect me.” So what can Elise share with me about Morgan’s inner sight?
Hi – I also wanted to share this from Susan Gale from http://www.theplaceofLight.net – because of the simplicity of managing seeing ghosts….Susan Gale shares more on managing fears: “Another thing that helps people understand the fear is what I call it an ET moment. In the movie, ET, when the little sister met ET, she screamed, ET screamed and then everybody screamed.
“When you act like that little girl, you frighten the spirit people as much as you feel frightened by them. Expect the same of spirit people that you would expect people with physical bodies.
“You would expect good manners. You wouldn’t let people just come into your room at will if they were physical people. You wouldn’t expect to look up and see 20 people your bathroom. Make your choices and take control of your environment. Here are other strategies that work for children:
• Imagine a radio with a dial, and when sound is too much, just turn the volume down.
• When spirit people need to go to Light or another place, create a staircase wherever you are, and when spirits come around, you can say, ‘There’s the way to the light. There are people on the other side whose job is to help people cross over. Watch for helpers at the top of the staircase.” Then let them go up.’
“I was in Texas once and my geographic location had such a heavy, feeling. So one morning I went out very early and put up staircases like every 50 feet, everywhere, and I could see whole families holding hands and running up. Then I found out later that the location had been a sugar cane plantation. You can imagine the agony people went through that had to work those fields. The place felt much better afterwards. Other people noticed how much lighter the land was afterward. I know of many who have made the staircases and just left it permanently.
“When you’re walking in love, and when you’re projecting love, it’s like two notes on the piano. You can play two notes on the piano and it sounds like racket, right? When you’re walking in love, it doesn’t harmonize with negativity, and so it can’t be around you so much. If negativity is around you, then you aren’t comfortable, because there’s no harmony for it.
“If you’re afraid, if you’re hurt or if you’re depressed, then the negativity will harmonize with you, and you keep it around. Some people have to work hard to keep themselves in that positive place where they won’t harmonize with negative things.
“For example, empathic children, who feel other’s energy, need to learn to push out their energy and not allow negative things to come to them. Those are some of the things we do to learn how to take it when somebody is pushing bad energy on you and how to keep it off you. These are techniques that you can use, that you can learn.”
Thank you very much for the response and the information. I will definitely buy the book.
I shared my post and your response with Elise. When I asked her what she can share about Morgan’s inner sight, she said that Morgan can see spirits in human form, as opposed to just seeing or feeling their energy. She also said that Morgan can hear them clearly, which is why they talk to her. Also, she indicated that she isn’t always scared but that sometimes she is overwhelmed because they ask too much of her or need too much of her attention or want what she can’t give them because she is so young. For example, explaining that they can go to the light and that it’s ok to go, she is too young to understand that and make that a normal practice.
Once Elise started talking about what she had been experiencing her entire life, learned how to send spirits to the light and learned to set boundaries, like telling them that they weren’t welcomed in the bathroom with her
, she has been very comfortable.
Elise continues to work with Morgan explaining that she can talk to her and teaching her how to relate to the spirits she encounters daily.
I just want to help nurture these gifts…just like I would any other gift that they may have been blessed with. I don’t want my children to be afraid or made to feel that they are imagining anything. What’s difficult for me is not “making suggestions” or “putting thoughts in her head” – if that makes sense. I don’t want to ask leading questions….
It’s kind of like sales, I know sales. I know how to ask the right questions to get a controlled response. I need to know how to communicate with her so she can openly share what she is feeling without being led. Does that make sense?
Thanks again,
Stephanie
Stephanie,
You and Morgan and Elise are so on the right track. Your clairvoyant daughter’s greatest needs are being heard, feeling validated, and learning to claim her space and control it. You guys are well on your way. I did post some wonderful suggestions from great teachers in MA on the blog, right above your last post. I want to make sure you read it, because it sounds like what you are already doing, and offers you even more encouragement.
Thank you for caring so much. Thank you for asking questions, reading books, being open minded. I am grateful for your example!
Caron
Hi,
My son turned two in March and he is rather advanced for his age (can talk very well , count, knows alphabet, shapes etc). I believe he also is a very old soul as he was just born into the world knowing stuff without needing to be taught. When he was very young I believe he saw my Grandfather, even though he has passed, as he seemed so excited and said “pa” and pointed out into another room and shook not out of fright but out of excitment as a child does when someone walks in to a room that they that they recognise.
Last week he was in our bedroom in the morning and said ‘Hello Mr Fellow”. I asked him who he was talking to and he said that man. I asked him where the man was and he said on the wall, I asked if he was inside our bedroom door or outside and he said outside. i then asked him a series of questions about this mans appearance which he answered as if he was staring at this man I couldnt see. He told me he was young, had dark hair, tall, skinny, no shirt on and black pants on. The description totally wiped out my thoughts that my “pa” was here visiting again and I couldnt think of who this person might be. He also said “you cant get me” which I thought was in a playful manner rather then being frightend as I say that to him if we are playing.
An hour or so later I asked him what Mr Fellow was doing he said he cant get me again, At that time I felt very cold and the room was breezy even though the windows and doors were all closed???? Then I asked him where Mr fellow was to which he replied in the dark. I then told him that he should Thank mr Fellow for coming but tell him to move into the light. He then did that. A little while after I asked him again where is mr fellow and he said he went into the light and up in the sky….. not sure where the sky bit came from but that is what he said. From my experiences in the past I thought well if that is what he is saying he obviously is not making this up otherwise why would he say the sky bit? I asked him if Mr fellow was a nice man he told me yes. A little while later he told me that Mr fellow has gone now on holidays but he will come again.
Since then he has mentioned Mr fellow about 4 more times in the last few days. My husband tells me that my son, Jahli told him that Mr fellow wants him to go for a walk with him and that he is naughty not nice. I have the feeling that my husband maybe has reflected his own fear onto the situation. I have had some experiences myself so am more excited about it than afraid but I am not entirely sure who it is and what they want from my son. I want to help my son nurture his special gift I believe he has but also want to protect him from scaring this skill away. I am not sure what to believe with this “mr Fellow” is he naughty or nice and how can I help my son in this situation?
Any info you can help me with would be greatly appreciated, is this common in children this young also?
Hi Amanda
Yes, this kind of “seeing” the spirit walkers is normal for the children who are sensitive to the alternate reality. Your son doesn’t sounds too scared about it as he can tell you about the Mr. fellow and, from what you tell me, discerns already that he is naughty. So far , so good on your son’s ability to identify energy of the spirit, and relate to you his experiences as they occur. He trusts you.
I don’t believe two years olds have enough life experience to make this stuff up. Also, to nurture your son’s gift, I would encourage him to call in his guardian angel, get to know the angel, establish a level of trust with such a guardian of light.
On the other hand, I wouldn’t bother about Mr fellow – would continue to encourage your son to tell him to go away, that he cannot help him, or go to the light and stay there. By the way, most spirit who go to the light would not come back to talk with your son, the vibration there and here is too different.
Please let me know how iy goes contacting the angels.
Hello Caron!
I have a two year old son, Mason Logan, we live in Red River Parish in Louisiana. We moved into an older model trailer recently and didn’t know about some of the things around the house until recently.
My son was outside playing in his pool with a waterhose. All of a sudden he became very freightened and came running onto the porch saying, very frantically, “Momma, I’m scared! I’m scared, Momma!” I didn’t think to much of it because I thought that maybe he saw a bug or fly that got a little to close and he ran from it.
The next day, Mason was outside again playing, but this time in his huge playhouse. It was about 3pm. He was playing in the dirt and throwing rocks, when all of a sudden he became freightened again. He started screaming and came running to the porch telling me again that he was scared. This time, it concerned me. I asked him what he was scared of, and since he can’t talk very well I told him to show me. He refused to get off of the porch to show me, but instead was pointing out across the pasture in front of our house. Then he said “Momma, BABY! PUPPY!” and he kept repeating it and got that far away look in his eyes again. The next thing I know he had chills thru out his body (Goosebumps) and wanted to go inside. I brought him in and he went into his room to play with his toys. Once he came out of his room I asked him if he wanted to go outside and he said “NO!”. I asked him why and he went to the window in the living room, lifted the blind and said “Scared, Momma, baby and puppy”.
I’ve always heard that children can see what we can’t. And I have a close friend who has two girls that can hear things that we can’t. If Mason were older than two I would probably put this off as his imagination getting the best of him, but since he is so young I think he may really see someone out there. Which, scares me, because I’ve also been told that evil spirits can get into innocent bodies and cause them to hurt themselves or others.
After speaking with the landlord we found out that her daughter-in-law buried her ex-husband who died of natural causes and also buried her daughter and a puppy out in the pasture, across the house behind some trees. We were told that the daughter died in a car accident, but have no idea how young the girl was when she died. We were also told that the puppy died from “depression” because the girl had died.
I don’t want Mason to be scared…I guess thats what I’m really trying to get help with. I don’t want him to be scared to go out and play or be inside playing and think that something is going to happen to him. I also don’t want him to “get rid” of the spirits, if they may somehow help him.
Myself, I don’t want to be scared either. I always have a feeling that someone is watching me. I can’t see them, and I never hear them, but I just have that feeling. Now that Mason has started acting the way that he does, I really feel more than ever, that someone is watching me. What do I do to channel all this in to one spot and control what Mason may be seeing, hearing, feeling..and also what I feel. I would appreciate any help.
Thank you, Donna!
hi i was wondering if any one could help me my 9 year old daughter is always telling me she can see multi coloured bubbles floating last night she slept in my bed with me and it was pitch black and she was saying there mam do you see them theres a group of them there at which i could see nothing at all she does this very often ive took her for an eye test but she doesnt need to wear glasses can any one help me with this as to what it could be thank you x
Hi Rachael
I cannot explain how the eye works, however, the seeing of bubbles of color of light blobs is a normal part of the eye adjustment in a dark space. In fact, the darker the better. For example, I went with several other therapists into a deep cave to test this very perception. It was so black, we could not see our hands in front of our face. We noticed our disorientation without visual clues…very interesting. Then a strange shift happened. As out eyes adjusted to the darkness, we saw specks of light form in the cave, and the guide to this perceptual experience told us this was normal. The following web site does explain some aspects of dark adaptation:

Hello,
I have some questions about how to help my 4yr old son deal with his abilities. I have thought for many years that I am empathic, I am able to see auras if I focus and can tell alot about what someone is dealing with just by being close to them I have delt with sever anxiety since I was young I too can sense presences on a regular basis I sometimes think that if I would allow myself to see them I could but I am scared. I think my son gets his abilities from me. Jaxen is four. since he was about two we noticed Jaxen gigling and playing with…no one, as soon as he started to verbalize better he began telling me who he was talking to. Jaxen made up the name Bunka for which he calls both of his grandpas. when we ask him who he is talking to he says ” a bunka” and we say whos bunka he will say ours. initially we didn’t know what to think but it has increased immensely. Jaxen says they are not see through he will tell us a man is in the house he will point at him he will tell me he says bad things but gets upset and will not say what. He wakes up almost every night in between 1-3 and most of the time he is not awake his eyes are shut and he will hold his ears in a ball on the floor and cry for them to stop talking to them he is sleepy. waking him from this is not easy. He can find things we are looking for, he also tells us to call people when he thinks someone who is not with us at the time is sad or hurt, he is always right. It can be weird, mainly because we don’t exactly know what to tell him. the most common ghost he sees we think is my husbands grandfather who passed 1 yr before jaxens birth. he tells me he looks like bunka gary who is my husbands father but that his hair is white and he is old. He doesnt fear him, ( he actually seems to adore him) but has feared others he has seen. we have had interesting door open lights turning off, you can actually ask them to turn the light ini our bathroom back on. (there is not circuit problems with the light switch either) I probably sound crazy but I do not tell others of this, for that reason. I just want to nourish these abilities the right way.any advice??? Thank you
Hey Donna – I have some excellent suggestions for you from a book I have written – and I can’t send two chapters here – if you want to email me your email what can take an attachment, I have some good suggestions for helping Mason. My email is caron30@gmail.com
Caron
Dear Jenny,
Several things come to mind that I feel could help Jaxen. First please buy the book, Raising Intuitive children from this blog. You’ll confirm your intuitive traits as well as learn how to help Jaxen. I wouldn’t go too deep on who he sees unless the person bothers him or causes him anxiety. In other words, treat his onversations and interactions as a normal part of your family’s lifestyle. The point is for Jaxen to treat spirit people like physical people. If someone is not nice…turn his back, walk away, tell them to go away etc. If they are his friends, then he is welcome to play and stay, but no upsetting Jaxen. That’s the rule.
Also you need to insure that Jaxen’s nervous systems can remain fairly relaxed and that he doesn’t go on overstim with sugar or anything like that, especially before bed. I cannot tell if he is experiencing night terrors which occur about 2 to 3 hours into a child’s sleep cycle. If you want to research the symptoms and then alter the sleep cycle by waking him up first about two hours after he went down, then put him back to sleep…it could make a difference. But the night symptoms worry me, and there are clearings with sage, prayers, calling in guardian angels – lots of ways in the book to help children sleep. The idea is to help him be totally calm before sleep, maybe even using a Hemi-Sync technology from http://www.hem-sync.com – if these sleep patterns continue with the screaming, then I would try one more thing before taking him to a pediatric sleep specialists – I would call in a psychic to see who is causing the ruckus on the other side and insure they move on. The ear white noise and chatter is not healthy and needs to be abated. The next step is to rule out physiological problems like inner ear fluid, allergies, determine if he is getting into deeper sleep cycles or not.
Does this help or at least give you a direction?
Caron
My son will be 2 years old next week, he’s been talking about seeing “the man” usually outside the window and asks if “the man will hurt him”. At one point the man was inside his grandmother’s closet and now he’s seeing him outside of his bedroom window and outside of our living room window. I’m just worried that what he’s seeing scares him, cause he does ask if “the man is going to hurt him”.
Hi Arlene
When you ask why your son thinks the man will hurt him, what does he say? Also please describe the kind of behavior your son acts out that makes you think he is frightened. You are asking good questions…I just need a little more detail about the exact incident that makes your son thinks the man will hurt him. The fact that he sees the man is different places is all right, but we would like to know the man’s name. I get a sense that the man is like a 1930’s drifter during the Dustbowl. There are overalls, plaid cotton short, dirty hair and dusty face…seems to need help to pass over. So I wonder if the appearance of the hungry drifter scares him. On the other hand, there is a well dressed grandfatherly sort…nice suit and combed back white hair – maybe late 60s or early 70s who seems kind and is smiling big – seems to know your son. If these are the ghosts, you can tell the drifter to go move on. Here is a story to show you what I mean from an intuitive medium named Melissa Peil ((www.mysticalawakenings.com): ” “The next morning, Kathleen decided to have a conversation with the spirit her son was seeing. She was alone in her bedroom, which is where Aaron has mostly seen the spirit man. She addressed the spirit of the man and told him these guidelines aloud:
• She believed Aaron was indeed seeing him
• She wanted to support this, but that she didn’t want him to be afraid.
• She would remind Aaron that he was safe and encourage him to tell me about his visions,
• But that she didn’t want him appearing to Aaron at bedtime or in the middle of the night.
• She preferred he comes during the daytime.
“Kathleen sat on the bed in silence for a moment and wondered if there would be some sign that he heard her. Just then, a toy that one of her boys left in her room lit up out of the blue! It was like the spirit acknowledged that he heard her. She put Aaron to bed that night, and there was no mention of the man.”
My son just turned 3, two days ago. Since he was one and a half he had friends in his room..one day they became monsters. He wouldn’t play in his room or even venture in to get his favorite toy. We moved. 2 weeks later his monsters were back. One night he woke up in a severe sweat and pale and his heart racing to the point I thought he was having a heart attack… another night he woke up in the same state telling me someone told him to wake up. Needless to say he sleeps in our room now. He says they are in the heaters..they do make a little noise but are off now its summer. He maintains they are still here. He shuts doors constantly…I was told he is trying to keep whatever is there in. He used to not want me in his room but would bring other people in (aunts,uncles). I must admit I feel things too but I always have. I can tell when he is going to have a bad night I feel it….sounds weird I know. Does he have a gift or is he yanking my chain so to speak. I do not want him to be afraid. I just want him to sleep in his bed with out fear. His monsters are not only at night but all the time everywhere.
Lisa
Let’s look at this in a deeper way, because we don’t know yet if your son has a gift. It is very normal for young children, who have 35% more brain capacity than adults because of neural development, to see, talk to and make friends with spirits. His symptoms could also be associated with a condition called night terrors, which is a disrupted sleep patterns with similar symptoms to what you describe. Also some sensitive two and three year olds develop phobias about certain things like bathtub drains, monsters, specks on the floor, and then the little phobias pass.
No it is not weird that you feel when he is going to have a bad night. Sensitive people can feel that, especially Moms. Your blog entry sounds as if you believe your son and at the same time you think he is yanking your chain. so I am confused by your response. I typically don’t feel that scared kids yank parents’ chains, but you know your son better than anyone else. Why do you ask this? What behavior does he exhibit that tells you he could be conning you.
I believe if you read the book, Raising Intuitive Children, you will be able to determine if your son meets the criteria for being a sensitive child. I believe he is and I believe empowerment and confidence are what you and he have to build together to get him back in his room eventually.
So let us agree he sees something, and it is real to him despite whatever you believe. I would go back in time and rack my brain to determine what scared him at the age of one and half. I believe whatever scared him so badly has been held inside too long and is out picturing as monsters and other scary venues. Once we move past the fears, we can determine what he really sees, and whether or not it is part of his gift. So what do you think precipitated the fears?
thanks, I look forward to your response.
Caron
I do believe he sees something. What I meant by “yanking my chain” is if its bedtime and he doesn’t want to go, he comes out of his (my) room saying “monsters,Mom” but not really afraid. Other times he is terrified and comes out sobbing and pale. So what I am getting to is that when its convenient he sees monsters… but then there are other times I believe he really sees them,his reaction is totally different. When he was a baby he would stare into a corner and have a conversation with someone or something quite often. When he was a year and a half we had another baby..his sister. I thought it may have been an attention seeking behaviour. His friends where in his room and he talked to them all the time and one night he was upset my husband went in and he pointed to the corner said nothing just pointed. When his Dad asked him what was there he said his “friend” and began to cry…shortly after that we moved and thats when he saw monsters. He wouldn’t watch sesame street because of cookie monster. I told him he was a nice monster. I asked him what the monsters look like he said himself,me(mom) and Dad and Char-Char (his sister). He also has a facination with Halloween and ghosts and pumpkins. So I will conclude that he does see things, now I just need the tools to build his confidence and make him self-assured.
Lisa, I think we need to connect by phone for about 30 minutes. There is such a fear energy going on in your son’s gut, that is seems out of proportion for having a new sister. And it seems like you are clearly on top of whether he needs attention or he is fearful, as in being pale etc. So, if I speak with you and see what he sees, we can get to the emotional fear he carries around. I would like to determine how sensitive he is. I feel he keeps desiring to connect and isn’t getting the connection, and I would like to explore what that means within your family dynamics. I don’t offer this lightly, and respect your family values and dynamics. If you would like to email me at caron30@gmail.com, we can set a time to connect.

Hi my name is Jane. My daughter Tess,is 10 years old and she says that she is seeing her dead sister in her dreams and seeing her grandfather that passed away about a month ago. She has been crying a lot lately and I don’t know what to do.
Jane, how about we talk one-on-one about your daughter, and I can check in to see what is going on. I need much more info such as the deaths, how and when she sees them, what they say to her, how you are handling her fears etc. Please email me privately caron 30 @ gmail. com if you would like to schedule an appt at not charge.
thanks

Hi Caron~
Today at the elementary school I work at, one of the 5th grade girls screamed and jumped up from her chair at her desk. She was truly terrified and said that she saw someone, then felt him touch her shoulder. The teacher thinks it may have been her seeing the moving fan from the corner of her eye, then feeling the air, but I am wondering if she truly did see a ghost or spirit. Can you help?
Hi Jill
After the fact of the event, I am not much help. However, I may be able to offer context through which to interpret the event. In my world of coming from teaching and counseling, I believe a child. I don’t necessarily have to believe in a ghost, as all perception is self-perception according to the Western version of psychology. I never told any of my students they were wrong, or their perception inaccurate, but I did listen to their story and moved on. If a child has a history of being an intuitive learner (read book, Raising Intuitive children) or being one who feels her way through an environment, they need to move, literally. Sitting for long periods of time causes brain wave states to shift, called phase shifting, into a dreamier space, like watching a young child be hypnotized by watching television. Some intuitive learners can slip into this easily because they are oriented inward by empathy, creativity, pondering, day dreaming and the like.
To me, the student you mention seems bright intellectually, and one who ponders, watches people and gets lost in her concerns or worries. She is most likely empathic and concerned. There is an energy of cloudiness around her head, which in my interpretation and experience, means her pondering causes her some mild depression or anxiety, yet not hypervigilence. She is concerned, and her pondering can take her to deeper brain wave states and popping out of them can cause hypervigilence. I do not see around her any spirits or anything negative.
This young woman has some intense caring that really needs an innovative service project to move her ideas forward and alleviate her concern. My daughter had similar qualities, bright mind and empathy, and her cause became saving dolphins. Her action became letter writing campaigns years ago to the right people. Once she felt involved, her concern turned to service, and became one of her best qualities. If I can be of any further help, please let me know.
Hi Jill
One more comment – as you can see, I am not a firm believer in the Western interpretation of ghosts, and research does show that phase shifting from one brain wave state occurs in all of us all the time. Television trained the previous generations well. LOL!
Thank you for the insight, Caron. It really makes sense, especially about the phase shifting of brain wave states. And yes, this girl is a “daydreamer”, so I appreciate your advise about having her move and not sit for long periods of time. Thanks, again!
Hello. I feel so relieved to have happened upon this site when I did. I have a wonderful little girl named Eva (3 1/2). She has been a fitful sleeper her whole life, often wanting to sleep with me. Until recently I passed this off as first normal development, then more recently as manipulation and control on her part. However, lately I am feeling a little guilty, because she is a very strong independent clever girl during the daylight hours and clearly shows her sensitivity and vulnerability at night. We just moved into a old house, that happens to be across the street from a funeral home, and last night we had an episode that I can not deny. She woke in the night and when I came to her and lay with her in her bed she her anxiety did not retreat. She appeared wide awake and asked who was standing there (pointing) in the hallway. At first I dismissed it thinking she was dreaming. She closed her eyes then opened them again only to ask again, “Mom, who is that? Is that granny?” (my mother who is still living). I responded that I didn’t know but admit that I got a chill up my spine. She insisted that there was someone clearly standing there and was frigthened by it. She stuck her head under the covers and was peeking to see if it had left. She calmed eventually, but seeing as I didn’t, I grabbed her and we both slept in my bed.
Is there something to this? I know enough about this, and want to handle it in the best way possible. I mostly want my girl to be at ease and not be frightened.
Thoughts?
Hi Olivia,
I have responded to you earlier, and have not seen the response posted to your comment. So we will try again here. For your daughter to be at ease would also mean you need to be at ease, which you and your daughter will have to grow into with some practice. I appreciate the fact that you did not leave her alone in her room and did help her feel safe, which is the number one thing to do. Her consistent anxiety and persistence in pointing out to you that she saw something is one clue for parents to be aware of. This could be a one time intuitive event. If so, then chalk it up to active brain wave patterns at night. However if the events continue, then you’ll want to assist her and yourself through fears into a place of comfort with who or what she sees. Please buy Raising Intuitive Children as the book includes several chapters of information on the psychic child. Also, if you would bookmark this site, a new book will be available next spring. The title is Kids WHo See Ghosts: Help Them Through Their Fear.
Here are several points to help you start the empowerment process of moving through fear together. Next time Eva sees something, call it a spirit, not a ghost. Somehow spirit sounds a little friendlier to those children I have talked with. although they were a few years older than Eva. To face the unknown together will give Eva strength to do so again should she have another event. Ask the spirit who it is, what it wants or why it is there, and see if Eva receives any names or information that she can express in her own way. If you have a name or a reason, you, as Mom, explain to the spirit Eva is too young to help and go elsewhere.
Another empowering action is to have Eva demonstrate how the spirit is standing, perhaps mimic the facial expression and such. You need as much info as you can get. Or rather than info, use your intuition to sense the energy and command, demand, instruct the spirit to leave.
If Eva continues to see spirits, then you can choose another tact. Welcome them into your home. Say hello. Ask them to leave Eva alone. Have a tea party with Eva for your “friends.” I am not sure how you want the outcome to be. Please share more about the events since Eva first saw and how you feel about it also.
I do not sense any evil in the situation you describe. I feel that your daughter’s openness might be an awareness of souls who have passed. It would be helpful for Eva to find an imaginary angel in her mind, perhaps even an angel doll (or any friend you would care to create with her), so she can develop an inner wisdom voice as she matures. An inner wisdom voice is like a loving mom’s voice in her head to tell her all is well, and how to handle the issue if you are not there. It is a good self-soothing strategy.
So fill me in on your philosophy about all of this and let’s see how I can be of further assistance.

Thank you so much for this. It sounds like we are on the right track. She has raised the issue, without prompting, every night or morning since, confirming for me that she was in fact awake and not in some dream state. Each day she offers a little more, the latest being that “the lady” jumped out the window. I, really take your point that I need not be frightened by this. My whole life I have been open to the idea that spirits are all around us but this is really the first time I am facing it head on and my fears are catching me a little of guard. I decided last night I needed to change my viewpoint and had a little conversation with our spirit, once Eva was alseep. I felt a little silly, talking out loud to someone I could not see, but felt much more at ease once I did. I started along the lines you have suggested and with your advice will work a little harder to explain to Eva. I want to believe that there isn’t any evil but the imagery she is suggesting is dark…she talks about a black finger, a black cat, and now the lady jumping out the window. Truthfully, at this point I think I am more frigthened than Eva and your message confirms that I have to stop that, for her sake. I of course don’t say anything to Eva to suggest this, but as she is obviously very intuitive I am sure she feels this. I will read the book.
Hi Olivia – thanks for responding so quickly. I am glad that your daughter now has a consistent track record of reporting to you. That makes the scenario more realistic that she is seeing the spirits, and that her gift is active. This could also pass or increase as she matures, mostly depending upon her experiences with the ghosts and with you and the world in general.
Eva will feel your fear, and it is okay that you feel it also. All of us have those visceral experiences in the pit of our gut that signal the unseen, the danger, the change in scent and atmosphere in our survival mammal instincts. I did not mean to say not to have fear. Have fear, and also have courage! So allow the fear and dance and move with it. Squashing it would be like trying to keep yeasty bread from rising. Basically, we accept the fear and move through it with our kids.
I’ll share a funny story of a friend of twenty years ago. The friend could feel she had an angel around her because she remembered seeing the angel when she was a child, and thereafter, the feeling of the angel was a radiant warmth that permeated her heart area. In one of her more demanding moments as an adult in her late thirties, she asked, then begged, then commanded that her angel appear again, that is, to repeat the childhood experience she was so fond of.
Well about 2:30 in the morning, my friend woke up to a light blasting her eyes, and all she could feel was heat, joy, and all she could see was light that filled her bedroom. She heard in her head, “I am here.” The she was so scared of the light and so ashamed of her pettiness in her demands and commands that she wept, and then the light disappeared.
My point is to have fun with Eva. Yep, it does feel pretty silly talking to yourself, and it is a proven method of absolutely moving you through fear like your guiding your inner child to move ahead. Thanks for your courage and being so open to these weird and wonderful life experiences. We are here if you need an ear.
Meantime, good cheer!
