Psychic children?

We moved house when my younger sister was only 3. After a while she began saying that 'a lady' was sitting on her bed and smiling at her. She was quite unconcerned about it.

We heard not long afterwards that the woman who'd lived there before us had died in childbirth. Very sad, she can't have been more than early 30s, if that.

As I recall the 'lady's' visits didn't go on for very long.

I hope there is something in all this - I am not religious by any means but would like to think I am at least a little bit 'spiritual' and there is something else after all this! I know I have had several incidences of deja vue myself - the most noticeable one being my husband whilst travelling back from somewhere said he was going to detour to show me something - at which point I said, no we have been before ... he looked at me and said, never, and in any case you have no idea where I am taking you?? So I told him - it was the church where he was christened, and described it perfectly - we never found out how or why, but we definitely had never been before together, nor me alone!

I am going to digress slightly here, but my health took a nose dive when I was in my 40's and now at 56 I am well and truly beyond it and getting worse sadly ..... I live in a 350 year old cottage and my health has definitely deteriorated since I have been here. My neighbour at the time who sold me the house also had health issues so got in the local 'diviner' to see if there was anything 'dodgy' going on - mine was ok, but hers sat on a ley line so he did a bit of 'something' and told her to move something else and apparently all would be fine from then on .... when he came round to me however, he said the house was fine, but that in a previous life I had been ' a bad woman' and had been murdered, (I was wealthy, from Bristol and probably involved in the slave or shipping trades!) and that my current bad health was as a result of that and I had to apologise - I did, albeit half heartedly, but there has been no improvement, in fact it has got much worse! Interestingly however - the neighbour, her husband and I all have developed auto-immune diseases - they started rebuilding these cottages from derelict before they got married so were in their late teens, and scraped goodness knows what off the beams and walls in both houses .... she has developed Sarcoidosis, and he and I have both got Sjogrens Syndrome - neither of which are great to have, and in a man, it is very rare .... makes you wonder eh??

Oh this has made me all shaky. My lovely Grandma ' saw things' and said that she thought I probably 'saw things 'too when I was a child - she dies when I was 6. My mother had the odd 'insight' as well and apparently she told me years later saw Nanna sitting on the stairs shaking her head as I walked down them in my wedding dress. The marriage only lasted a couple of years. I have been know to have the odd intuition myself!

I have enjoyed reading all these little accounts. An enjoyable topic. My granddaughter had an invisible friend called Douglas for a few years from a toddler. When I asked her where Douglas was she said he's right behind you. It was a bit scary!

A year before my daughter was conceived I had a miscarriage I didn't realise I was pregnant as it was in the very early stages. Fast forward three year's and my daughter was in the bath playing with toys when she started talking to someone else I asked her who she was talking to and said that little boy sitting on the top step! I often think it might have been my lost child as we are the only ones whose ever lived here. She also use to have vivid dreams about WW1 and she would discribe the poppy fields and show her dad pictures in books that was what she saw.
My gran was quite spiritual

When my youngest son was two, we moved to a house adjoining woodland. When my husband took him for a walk in the woods, my son looked up at a tree and said “look daddy,” accatin man” (his words for Action Man). When I spoke to my new neighbour about this, she went pale. She said several years ago a man deserted the army and wearing his uniform he hanged himself from a tree in the same woods.

That wasn’t all, several nights later when he woke up one morning, he described a woman standing by his bed smiling. Again neighbour confirmed that the description of the woman matched the former occupant of our house who died in her early 50s of sepsis....I got chills!

Had a very odd experience with my daughter when she was about 9 (44 now). We lived at the time in Berkshire and one Saturday afternoon as usual, parked in a multi storey car park which had a walkway leading from it across the ring road to a department store. As we walked across she asked why the one way traffic was travelling in the wrong direction. I looked down and told her she was being silly, it wasn’t. On the way back there was an IRA bomb threat at the department store and we used another walkway to return to the car. Sure enough, the traffic was indeed going in the other direction.

We live in a big old house, DD, SIL and GS in the main house, me in the Granny annexe. I often felt a “ presence” but so as not to freak DD I didn’t mention it. One evening she came into me after checking upstairs why her little boy was moving about and not asleep. He had said “ I’m counting all my teddies as that person with the white bag keeps coming in my room and I don’t want them to take my toys” ....

It's a shame that we loose that 'sight' as we get older

My daughter and I are still trying to work out my granddaughter.
One day walking along the seafront she told us that she drowned out there (pointing out to sea)
The odd part is, is that she literally is a water baby. No fear whatsoever, wants to go in no matter what the weather.
But, she is terrified of walking down the pier where you can see through the planking, and, the same when I take her to our friends boat, walking down the gangplank.
Walking home from school one day she asked my daughter if she would be her mummy next time she came back.

There are those who say that it is “energy”. Everything has an energy field - which is what diviners pick up if looking for water, oil, etc. It is not surprising that a person might leave ‘energy’ behind, and children are particularly susceptible to it.

My neighbour's child talked with the old lady with the bed in the corner of her bedroom. The lady who lived there before had her bed there & it was where she died. The girl said the old lady did not like her there as it was the lady's room.
They got a spiritulist in who 'explained to old lady that she was dead' & the girl never saw the old woman again. The childwas only 3 so didn't know anything about this.
Very odd.

My grandson was 4 yrs old when he announced to a full room of family members "Gran is going to die when she's 88".
I asked how old he would be then and he said 30...and he was right!

When my Mum died one of my GC told his Mum that she came into his bedroom at night and talked, played and read him stories. This went on for several months, until one morning he announced that 'Old Nanny' has gone away because it was time for her to look after Grandma (me).

Unfortunately I have not had any dreams of her, but I have felt her around me sometimes and had an abundance of white feathers appear.

My son would often tell me,when he woke from his afternoon nap,that a funny little man with a hat on had been dancing by his cot.He also used to point at "people" in the street and say "look at that man!" when there was no-one there.It always seemed to amuse him so I didn't worry about it.I do think children are so receptive to the "otherness" of this world.

My husband died when my elder daughter was 7. When her son was 3/4 he was sitting at his little table in the living room drawing. My daughter who was in the kitchen heard him talking, went into the room, he held up his drawing, it was way above anything a 3 year could do, she said how clever he was , he said’ that policeman said ‘ and pointed into the room. My husband was an art student who joined the police force, we had no photographs in our houses of him in uniform, had never spoken of his dead grandfather to him, This happened several times after , daughter would ask who are you talking to, he would reply ‘the policeman’

Many years ago I made a big announcement ( I was around 4) at a family do that I was going to have a baby brother. My parents denied it all then a month later find out that Mum was pregnant and I did get a brother.

When my son was very young about 18months old he would sit on the stairs talking to someone he called 'my man'.
This went on till he was about 3-4. A friend asked him if he recognised anyone in a photo & my son pointed to my Dad.
We all thought this was logical as who else would come & talk to my lovely boy but his equally lovely Grandad!

Willow500, my son says he will have to do that for us, (just as in the Great Escape..!!

Willow500, I hope he is preparing his own ashes
challenge for his, in case he goes first.

When my granddaughter was around 3 or 4 she had two invisible friends called Tom and Lily. She talked to them constantly and would often squirm, saying Tom had hit her. She didn't like him at all. Her mum had had five miscarriages and she believed they were spirits of the babies she'd lost. I don't know about that. Once my granddaughter started school the "friends" disappeared. One day I asked where they were. She said "we decided we had very busy lives now, so we hadn't time to stay friends". I thought this sounded like a very grown up response.

Oh Willow that reminds me of The Great Escape!

My Granson was 2yrs sitting on my lap as I sang him a lullaby before bed
He said “There’s a lady behind you G’ma she all pink & she has wings’
The lullaby was about the rose of love !

Definitely something in this children are more receptive I can remember my grandson under a year waving to the corner of the room and giggling his maternal grandad had died months before my daughters law swears it was her dad he was waving to.years later he said he used to see a man waving at him in his room and when shown pictures of his maternal grandfather said it was him.

Our little granddaughter Lilly often comes out with odd things. She was born in Australia, and her first trip to England came when she was just three years old (she is six now). It was Christmas time, and we were all going up to London by train to see the lights. We took along all sorts of colouring books and other bits and bobs to keep her occupied on the train, and indeed she was happily ‘colouring in’ when for no apparent reason she looked up and looking out of the carriage window said: “that is the house where I used to live”. The adults all looked at one another and then her mummy said: “when was that Lilly?” Lilly looked up as if she was about to reply but then she simply shook her head and went back to her colouring. It was a very strange moment, but we all let it pass and only talked about it when she was asleep that evening. We’ve never drawn any conclusions from it, but it did leave us all puzzling.
