There was always a logical explanation for the ghosts in the old Scooby Doo cartoons. Is this not the case any more?

I just did.. I don't even try to determine if people are pulling y chain or being serious, but I've lived through some stuff and will forever view things differently.

I've never had experience with some type of "boogie man" ghost, but hey to each their own.

Do not allow it. You have authority over what is yours. That is your house, your child, your life. Give no authority.

I don't want to interrogate her. I think of you press too hard they just start making things up. But I'll listen closer when she starts talking about it now. Maybe ask her a few questions. I don't want to coach her, but I'm very interested.

i think you have the idea. talk about it in jest some, make notes, then ask her other times when she initiates it. find the consistencies in what she says.

Sleep in her room with her a few nights. You won't convince her there is nothing there if you are unsure. After you are convinced it is not real you will be able to convince her.

Or if a ghost eats the door handle and talks to you. Move

I'm trying to remember what all she said now. I was getting them ready for school so I wasn't paying all that much attention to exactly what she was saying, but I want to say she mentioned the "scary ghost" that "tried to bite her" as something different from the other ghost that was her friend.

Didn't you see the Scooby Doo movie? The monsters were real in that one.

Why would you click a thread about ghosts and then get pissy when someone talks about ghosts?

Just my two cents.....

If she says it's a scary ghost, it's imagination.

If she says it's friendly, or "familiar", you have an issue

I don't know. I may be misremembering that part. She might have just been talking about it eating the door knob. She really didn't seem scared about it. Her ghost friend rode in the car with us and walked with her to school. Then I asked her if it could come with me and she said "okay".

I don't want to fill her head with preconceived notions of what "ghosts" are to avoid tainting her experience.

Why the difference? Why can't there be both? What sort of "issue"?

You are just missing something. Perhaps he was shown a picture of the place. I don't know what caused him to recognize that area but something did and it wasn't a ghost.


Well it was almost 10 years ago and I've talked to everyone who (1) was in contact with him at that time and (2) knew where my parents had been killed and none of them ever discussed it with him. Really, that's not something you talk to a toddler about anyway.

And to give some reference, here's the google map picture of the exact spot I'm talking about.

As you can see there is nothing really there for a 3 year old who has never been by there to recognize it as being anyplace special.

I have a 3yr old that doesnt like his closet door open and says ghost are in it.

wife seems to remember his closet being open a few times in the mornings after knowing it was closed at night

He occasionally mentions ghost but nothing horrifying. Lately he has been very reluctant to want to go to bed and has spent less time in his room playing alone.

I think its just him getting older and a more active imagination. your story has to much detail and attention grabbing stuff to brush aside imo

Because by definition these unclean spirits are evil.

Have a good day fellas, ghost free
