I saw an entire group of those spooks walking down the street in Georgia one day. Scared the hell out of me, they they got into a car and it seemingly drove away.

True story.

Don't know what it was dude. I just know I was cussing at something. I could see your case as far as rolling out of bed. But what woke me first was felling my ankle grabbed, lifted my leg about six inches and was pulled half out of bed. At the time my dad was alive and I was taking care of him. Thought it was him.

I heard about this sort of thing with little kids. So when my kids were little I asked them questions about this .They looked at me kind of crazy. They definitely had no idea about what I was asking them. Not saying it’s not true but I have my doubts.

How do those of us who agree with you explain what OP described?

Lies, hallucinations, honest mistakes, etc., are things that happen every day. If we believed all the amazing stories people told we would be surrounded by ghosts, cryptids, deities, and a lot of other bullshite.

I bet if the little boy said grandpa was hanging out in the lake with some guy named Muhammad, his story would be dismissed by those here.

I don't know if ghosts are real or not. I believe our mind can do a whole lotta things, even create "reality" as a protection when our body is in shock.

I think that is what happened to one of my sisters, but I don't know.

She was in a horrific wreck, and she listened as the person who ran into her died. She was messed up but not terribly so. Moments after the crash, a "woman" came up to her and said help was on the way and she would stay with her.

Help arrived, and as they were putting my sister into the ambulance, she asked the paramedics if the woman who had comforted and supported her could go with her to the hospital (she may have just asked to thank her before they left).

There was no woman there.

True story. A few years ago, the day of my oldest son’s wedding, early in the am my wife and I distinctly heard my dad say “yo!” He has passed two years or so earlier. My wife and I went ahead and got up, and had coffee. A few hours later, my youngest son awoke, comes out to the den and said “I had the strangest thing happen, I heard Paw Paw last night say yo!”

Senior year in high school my best friend starts dating someone.

After about 6 months of dating the girls grandmother passes away. We are at her house one night picking her up getting ready to go out and talking to her mom and her mom tells us that the girls 3 year old sister sits at the top of the stairs now once a week in the corner just having conversations to herself or so they thought. The first time it happens the mom asks “who are you talking to you?” 3 year old says “grandma, she talks to me on the stairs”. Mom was genuinely freaked and apparently this went on for a while. I’ll always remember how chilled the girls mom was telling us this.

Only story I have close to a ghost story but this stuff is extremely common.

Children are 100% in tune with the other side of things, whatever that may be.

When my oldest was a toddler he would see things, typically looking up at where the ceiling met the wall. Things he said about it reminded me of my grandmother. I showed him a picture and he picked her out. He had never met her or had her pointed out to him before. It got a little freaky one night when he saw it and was acting really nervous, not talking just laying in bed looking up. At that point we asked it to leave and it was never seen again.

No clue if it was just his imagination, but he had us freaked out for a few months. Looking online it seems like toddlers seeing something along where the ceiling meets the wall is not uncommon.

My oldest aunt in Costa Rica passed away when my son just turned 3 and he never met her, heard of her, or knows what she looked like. I gave my mom my son’s picture and told her to put it in her coffin and to pray to always look out for him as an guardian angel. Not long after, I put up a frame in the hallway with all the family pictures. One of the pictures was a family picture we all took for Christmas years ago and my son pointed to her and said hey it’s Tia Freddy. It gave me goosebumps because my mom is one of 11 kids and it was a photo of all of them, my grandparents, and my 20 plus cousins. I was holding him so he could see the picture frame and he just smiled and pointed to her with no hesitation and said Tia Freddy. I just took that as a sign that she read what I wrote in the back of his picture that my mom left in her casket to always look out for him.

Coincidence my friend. How many other unfortunate kids had their grandfather die, their parents not tell them, and the kid DIDN’T have some random thought of the old man? I’m willing to bet upwards of 99.9%.


Interested in where you got your numbers. Did you do the study or the survey? You didn't cite your sources strangely enough. Science currently has no way of proving or disproving the afterlife. They have no way to quantify or measure or observe. At least these people are providing anecdotal evidence.

In general, I believe this, but I have also heard stories about a child saying things after the passing of someone and while I think that there has to be a logical reason for it, I really don't know so I am willing to keep an open mind about it.

3 year olds are notorious for telling the unvarnished truth and never imagining things or making stuff up.

I had a friend in high school who was in a bad wreck. The vehicle caught fire and killed the driver, but “someone” pulled him out then left the scene. He got REAL religious after that.
