My 12yr old daughter's seen the ghost of same little boy twice now, what do we do?

I agree with those who say she should ask the little boy ghost what he wants and see what happens. We can take it from there.

Prove to who? Her? ATS members? lol, I don't think that's the point of this whole thread.

Prove to yourselves.
What I mean is, to accurately gauge the situation, you need to rule out all possibilities. Does this Ghost really exist? Does your daughter have a very vivid imagination? Etc etc...

Destroy all photos and pictures with faces on them,not your private picture of you and your family,but pictures or bodys thats in paintings or posters or pictures with faces thats on them...its the only way they can enter and remain in the realm your in.

Ok, here's what you do. You go out and buy the best cameras you can get...or rent them. you set them up even look into getting some thermal imaging, electromagnetic energy monitors, and temperature gauges. Also possibly hire some reputable mediums to come help. Then, you do your best to capture as much evidence of these ghosts as you can. Best case scenario is, you capture indisputable proof of life after death and you become rich and famous while at the same time validating your kids claims. Worst case scenario nothing happens no ghosts appear, but you can at least tell your kid that you tried your best. Cause i know that if my house was truly "haunted" thats what I would do. Imagine, being the first person in the world to offer true undeniable proof of life after death?

She saw him again tonight, except this time she said that the boy looked like he was about to cry, then he said the name of my youngest daughter before he disappeared. My 12 yr old looked scared, and yes i do believe her. Shes just a normal child, she's not rebellious or acts crazy, she's grounded and gets good grades. Any thoughts?

Wrong. I don't care to get rich or offer the world or myself proof, l'd rather this stop and stop now.

Read my above post. Also tjere are probably ghost hunter experts who would be interested in your particular case, especialy if it is a true visible physical manifestation, one that can utter intelligent sounds. You might even email local ghost hunters who would probably be more than happy to help. And by help I mean get proof and then investigate the reason this entity is manifesting itself to your family. There's no reason to be afraid, I would be excited because it could prove that we survive after death. Something the whole world has been questioning since the dawn of man.

I can understand your desire to have the situation stop. and its ok to not want to get rich But take my advice because there are people who can help. And more often than not, when you try to prove these entities exist, they do go away. There may be reasons for.this manifestation, such as why is the entity there? What does it want? Finding such things out may help you make it "stop".

If your daughter wasn't so close to puberty, I'd be suspicious of this entity...but puberty is such an energetic time, weird things happen. I'd think this would all pass as your daughter matures.

i hope so,thats if its true.

I have to wonder what destroying pictures and stuff will do? Can someone explain, please?

There is nothing to fear here. This boy clearly has something to say or he wouldn't make an appearance, but destruction of anything is a fearful response and you're going to start an unfortunate situation if you don't keep your heads.

Tears don't always mean sadness. There is nothing to fear in death in any case. There is a lot worse that can befall a person and death is a natural and inevitable end to life.

Now, your daughter can easily call this boy as long as she doesn't experience fear. She can ask him to stay, either out loud or just from her heart. But keep this on a level of happiness. Whatever he wants to convey to you all, no matter what it turns out to be, please see it in a positive light.

Those of you who are trying to turn this into a horror film, please stop. I've dealt with spirits for many years now and I know that if you keep a positive attitude about things, you have no problems whatsoever. We have spirits in and out of here a lot. Sometimes many at a time, sometimes one or two will linger for months. They come and go. Sometimes they come for comfort. There are many reasons, just as there are in life. And as in life if you go around in a state of fear, the response you receive will also be an aspect of fear. There is nothing wrong with this situation as it is so stop trying to interject your own misgivings into something you're only reading about - and doing a bad job of that too.

Have her just speak to him when he's not there. Have her ask him what he wants to say. What is his message? Don't script her, but just ask her to ask him in her most natural language what it is he has to say and that you're all listening and care about him very much.

"I've dealt with spirits for many years now"

Interesting. Do you have any physical evidence or proof to back up your claims at all, or do you just have stories about your "experiences"? I am honestly asking, because it seems to me this case like many others only wind up being hearsay and a good story, without anyone ever offering up any sort of physical evidence to back up their tales.

If an energy being, or "spirit" manifests itself in our three dimensional reality, are there not ways of measuring temperature changes and fluctuations...also se do have ways to record their sound waves should they choose to "speak" do we not? Are we not supposed to deny ignorance? Yes, there are Ways to prove whether or not someone is genuinely experiencing a real physical manifestation from the "spirit world" so how come every time someone claims that this is happening that they can never offer any sort of proof? Or they outright reject help altogether? Are they afraid that their "experience" might be proven to be nothing more than a tall tale?

Physical Manifesttions will produchysical evidence, at least in this case the OP claims that the entity "speakps". Can we not at Lest record what the entity is saying?

Sorry for my spelling in my previous post. Might I offer a simple, cheap solution to the OP?

Go to any electronics store, buy a voice recorder shouldnt be more than 20 or 30 dollars, then set it up in the vicinity that the "entity" is manifesting. Set up the recorder to record for say 8 or more hours continuously, That should be plenty of time to get something on tape. Almost all modern digital recorders can be plugged into a computer through a usb port. Which you can then get the sound file copied off it and onto your computer.

You can download a free audio editor such as "Audacity" to then sift through the sound file until you find the part where the entity speaks. Highlight, and cut and paste that part to a new file which you can save as a .wav or .mp3 file, then upload to the internet. Profit?

Am I making too much sense? See, it's not that hard to capture at least some sort of proof to back up your story.

Cheers!

The problem is, when people on here DO post pics or EVP's etc, people say it's fake.
If they don't post pics or EVP's, people say it's fake.

Sad that we can't win for losing - and the above applies to almost every forum on ATS as a whole. Seems the whole "Pics or it didn't happen" saying should be changed to the sad truth which a lot of ATS'ers hold: "Pics or not, it still didn't happen."

Us paranormal investigators understand that 98% of pics/evp's etc WILL be debunked. That's fact. But we strive for that 2% that can not be explained or debunked, etc. Those come around rarely, indeed. A full bodied apparition on camera or even camcorder is THE holy grail for all those in the paranormal world.

I get messages in picture format from those who have passed on. Between those the messages were for and myself, they were all proven 100% to be legit. I can't prove it to anyone here unless someone comes through - and still, it would only be proven 100% legit to 'you' and me ('you' being whoever the message was for). To me, the paranormal as a whole is just as 99% correct as it is 99% false. Just depends on the eye of the beholder: If you believe, you believe and if you don't, you don't: but neither side can claim it does or does not exist 100%.

I for one believe the OP and I say trust your instincts. As it is your daughter involved, your parental sixth sense WILL let you know if something feels benign or malevolent. You'll know to act accordingly.

Umm...what sort of proof can be offered? I'm not one of those sorts that requires physical proof of my own experiences to show others. I don't require validation. I'm not that insecure.

There is a lot more going on in this world than meets the eye. If you cannot sense it yourself, please do not make absurd requests that others offer this "proof" to you. You have the ability to sense your surroundings just as much as anyone else. That you do not avail yourself, nor indeed trust yourself enough to believe such things is a commentary of you alone, not of others. For those who cannot experience these things directly, it is sadly the case all too many times that no proof will ever be enough. Why would we who can and do know what we feel bother jumping through hoops to satisfy your kind?

PS just for my own credibility, when I DO get that rare message from across the veil if you will, I send it along for free. I'll never be the sort to take money for something priceless like that.

It can. Even the things I imagine scare me.
IMO, if it's her imagination.. then her mind wants to tell her something.
If he's real? Well then something else wants to tell her something.

What is absurd about asking someone who claims to be seeing and hearing ghosts to offer some evidence to back up that claim? Its not hard, as I've demonstrated to record sounds. Anyone can do it. I understand the frustration behind someone who does give evidence and they aren't believed, bur at least they have something. Otherwise the posts and stories are just that. Baseless tales and stories with nothing solid to back it up except your "word". There are so many scammers who do prey upon people that I believe if you are going through a paranormal real experience that you should try your best to find a way to get it on record, record some sounds or video that can be examined by others as to validate whether or not you might or might have not faked it. Seriously, otherwise they are just stories and entertainment, or you will be looked at as just having a vivid imagination or a hoaxer. There are more things in this world that we are trying to understand and be sensitive to, but no offense, if you have nothing to back up your claims then they are just stories. Science and technology have given us fantastic tools to prove our experiences, and I for one believe that it is irresponsible to not utilize these tools in our quest for discovery and experience. It's not so much a validation as it is a tool. Because if and when you do have proof to back up your claims, just like in court, the evidence more often than not speaks for itself. I encourage the OP to do just that. Back up your claim, and help yourself and your child to prove that what is happening is real and not just a figment of her imagination.

Why should anyone doubt themselves to that extent anyway? My word is as good as it gets. If that means nothing to you, neither will photo- or audio-evidence. Anyone can be called a fake no matter what evidence is produced. There is no need to go to any expense or other effort to satisfy anyone anywhere. I take the OP at his word and he can take me at mine. Evidence is irrelevant. Trust and experience count for more than all the tech recordings anyone can offer.

We who know, know. End of story.

Hi all, I really don't post many threads because mainly I like ATS for a good read of what other people have experienced. But unexpectedly, this time I suppose it's my turn.

About a week ago while getting ready for school in the morning, my 12yr old step-daughter was downstairs fixing her hair. We were all upstairs when we heard her run up the stairs and she went up to my wife and said, "look, touch my heart, look how fast it's beating" she went on to say that as she saw a little boy sitting on our coffee table in our living room. She said he just waved hi to her and she ran upstairs startled. She described him as wearing a little round hat and brown vest and that his face looked similar to the main character out of the movie Hugo, about 9-10yrs old or so, pale white. We as parents tried to not to startle her more and told her that maybe she just thought she saw something and even if she had, to not be scared.

Well, this past weekend, my step-daughter spent time at her biological father at his apt and she saw the same little boy again. This time she walked into the bathroom and saw him sitting on the bathroom counter. Again he waved hi and she ran off. She says that he's not scary looking, but that he startles her when he appears seemingly out of nowhere, but otherwise he looks very normal, just very pale.

Throughout our lives, my wife and I have been witness to many ghostly encounters but we never talk about it with our kids, never. Before all this had happened we knew that we had children ghosts in the house, 1 or 2 we suspect, but they had never been seen, only heard.

So what now? What do you suggest we do? My wife told my daughter that next time she sees him to not be frightened and if possible, to ask him what he wants. Is that a good idea? Should we get actively involved with the spirit world like that? Or should we just pray them out?

Thanks for listening (reading), looking forward to your responses.

I would be asking why is this spirit appearing to your 12 year old daughter - why not you and your wife. What has this spirit got to hide - that it is approaching your child - who has no prior experience to this situation as both you and your wife have had in the past.

Rather than your daughter asking this spirit what it wants, ask "How can I help you?" If your 12 year old receives a reply act from there if the answer is reasonable - if it asks to stay or the like then firmly state no and ask it to leave. If your past experiences with spiritual entities have been negative or damaging in any way - then tread very carefully it may have returned.

As another poster rightfully stated that not all appears what it seems. If you feel that this is a "lost child" then pray for it. It does not belong here nor does it have a right to interfere in you or your families lives.

Do not entertain the idea that your home is a safe haven for it, it is a spiritual risk to your child. If this was human physically, emotionally harming your 12 year old girl, you as a father will protect her with your life.
