To be a little freaked out?

When we moved. I’ve read that children are very attuned (sixth sense) until the age of twelve. When the world crashes in and rules and schooling become more prevalent and their left brain more engaged. It was quite benign, they became quite busy chatterboxes it was lovely to listen to.

My kids had Mr Tomblin, he used talk to them in the early mornings, it was a name I’d never heard before. We found the name in a local grave yard afterwards and found that there was a family Tomblin who had lived previously in our Victorian house, I never saw him or heard him but I could hear my kids conversations with him as they played in their room in the early mornings…

My 3 year old tells me about the baby dinosaur that sleeps in his bed.

Wow, that is freaky!! No spooky happenings ever happened other than children being able to see her?!

Not since I moved out of the house where my son used to talk to her, but in that house loads happened..
Things moving by themselves and I know this sounds crazy but I'd sometimes feel the weight of a person sit on the end of my bed at night.
Have you asked your son about this little boy he's been talking to?

Oh wow!! Now that's creepy! Was it the same house or did Rebecca travel?!
@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate
Different house, 22 years and 80 miles apart. Seems like Rebecca the ghost followed me.

Poor Rebecca..

Probably oversold it to other people but I definitely think it's a huge coincidence. When we bought our house we pulled up the carpets and there was a newspaper under the floor, dated with the exact date I was born.. day, month, and year! Then we were left an ariel view photograph also with the year I was born!

Ooh! Wow, that's interesting! I'd say it's fate that you're supposed to be there but I like to believe in that kind of thing

How creepy op! Years ago I heard my son who was maybe four years old chatting away to nobody in the bathroom.. When I pointed out to him that he was talking to himself he said That's so mean mummy, Rebeca is here!! She got lost and now they won't let her back in!! She lives here but she's very sad!
I'd also hear him in his room at night telling her to be quiet because it's bedtime and he'd play with her in the morning.
He's 23 now and he doesn't remember any of this.
The weirdest part is (this sounds made up but I promise it isn't)
When I was 13 I babysat two little girls at my home, they were top and tailing in my bedroom and I was downstairs, I heard them start screaming/crying and rushed upstairs to see what was wrong, they both looked terrified and were pointing at the corner of the room, when I asked what was wrong they both said (they were around 5/6) There's a scary girl called Rebecca in here and she is scaring us!!
This was over twenty years before my son said the same name.

I had 2 imaginary friends, Judy and Jublee ( that will give my age away!)
Judy behaved well and Jublee didn't!
My parents just played along with it. I loved role play and had a vivid imagination. When we went holiday Judy always came in the car but Jublee had to go on the bus as there wasn't room! Eventually they just faded away.
My children never had these friends but my granddaughter who's nearly 4 is very like me with her imagination and love of role play. We have long chats about what her babies (dolls) get upto when she's not with them.

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate She’s about to turn 18 and doesn’t really remember him alive or having any particular feelings about him or this time in her life. (Other than wanting to keep a pony in her bedroom until I told her she’d have to clean up after it…) She’s always had her head screwed on, though, and this coincided with several vivid dreams of frustrating conversations with Dad so you never know.

I'm intrigued as to what your huge and not quite so huge coincidences were @Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate

When my DS was young, he often said, 'In my other life .......' and things like that. Very matter of fact!

Having an imaginary friend is normal I think.

My dd was at her hobby exams (kids, various classes and ages) a couple of weeks ago when a younger girl came up to her and told her about her imaginary friend who had long, straight black hair and wore a white dress. Dd said she nodded along nicely and didn't think any more of it.

Until...

The little girl sat on her own and started rolling a ball to her imaginary friend and my dd glanced over to see the ball ROLLING BACK ON ITS OWN!

Dd said her heart literally stopped!

Should I put the spoiler or leave it there? Spoiler - to her relief, dd realised the little girl was rolling the ball so it bounced back to her off the wall. No ghosts! Which was a shame, if it did deep cleans and would run the hoover round now and again it would be more than welcome to attach itself to a new human and haunt our house.

My dd used to do this. Once she ran to a corner, looked up to the ceiling and said No, xx (neighbour) lives over there!! and pointed to our neighbour’s house. I never told the neighbour.

Maybe you have a little boy coming to you soon? Another son?
