Our own Sixth Sense

Eleanor fell asleep last evening around 6:45pm on our way home from my parents' home. We put her to bed as she was in her dress, tights, and coat. At 3am she woke up and wanted me to take her coat and tights off and she wanted her binkie. At 3:30am she needed a tissue. Emily had woken up this time and told me she was scared because she could see spirits in the hall and she could hear their footsteps...since she had freaked ME out, I told her she could come sleep with me. On her way into my room, she told me that she sees spirits all the time and she doesn't like it. I'm asking her about it now and I asked her if she had a dream about spirits and she said "No, they were in the hall." I asked her what they looked like...she said "they look like all kinds of people and they came into my room, I could hear their footsteps"...okay I'm getting goosebumps here.

Wow! That would creep me out a bit. Some kids are really in tune with the other side. She may be one of them. But yeah, freaky!

That would unnerve me, too. It reminds me of that Bruce Willis movie The Sixth Sense where the kid sees dead people. She doesn't see them during the day, does she? Hopefully, she is just dreaming it, right?

Hmmm. That's just a little creepy. Yikes.

Whoa... my little bro used to say the same thing! And as an adult, he stil remembers details. I say it's possible, but scary for us to imagine our child being disturbed by spirits.
