My child has a badge that sees ghosts?

[PlomBear]

Lighthearted!

DS 4, has a badge he calls “birdie friend.” I may post a photo later! It’s a badge with a bird on.

Birdie Friend seems to have the gift of the “sight!” “Birdie Friend says Bob and Rose are here mummy, they like to have tea with us. Bob and Rose are DH’s grandparents who died many years ago.

“Birdie Friend says the men who lived upstairs looked like you mummy when their faces burned off.” We used to live in a former military hospital and I had a sheet mash on my face! The ward upstairs had indeed been a burns/plastics ward!

“Mummy, Birdie Friend says the end is coming soon.”

😂😱😨

Also I remember this TV programme on haunted items.
One person had this old jewellery box and every night he would have nightmares of this one woman and have scratches on him when he woke up.
He then sold it on eBay without saying what had happened and it happened to the person who brought it.
I mean I brought the story and there is no way I want second hand furniture now!

I'm sure it will go down like a lead balloon on MN, but feck it...

I'm mostly with Donkey, but the last line you mentioned made my own spider senses go a bit nuts.

Your DS is definitely a sensitive & will likely grow to conform & grow out of it as most do, till he's older at least. I had similar myself as a DC & have seen it with DD too, plus we had some pretty disturbing past life stuff from DD too.

I've never fully grown out of it, but it did come back stronger as I got older & I've had many experiences over my lifetime.

The badge itself allows your DS to tell you, but not take responsibility for saying it, if that makes sense, it's a tool that makes him feel a little more comfortable with it. The badge is a side line & it's all about the house. Most of which is benign, but something isn't right with something telling him about end of days. That but makes me believe that cleansing the house by burning white sage etc would be a good idea

DD used to talk quite matter of factly about "the first time she was born" and a lot of other very creepy things that are too outing to share

Glitter mine was a very early taker & she referred to us as "other mummy & daddy" for the first 3 years of her life. She also remembered dying & that her "real daddy" didn't mean to kill her & she was so upset to see her family crying over her dead body & how she missed her 10 brothers & sisters. She played games with her dolls where daddy was drunk & got angry & beat up mummy & the DCs if they got in they way" she was exposed to absolutely nothing where she could learn that. She often sobbed her heart out as she missed her "real family so much" So much more too.

Am I missing something here but is there any point in BF revealing the lottery numbers if the End of Days are coming? Seriously scared now going to have to hide under bedclothes 😱

”Mummy, Birdie Friend says the end is coming soon.”

Can you get more insight from Birdie Friend on this point please OP? Are we talking Trump? The Iranians? Kim Il whatevs’ nukes? Pandemic ‘flu? DH has been pushing for a UK holiday this year, but I don’t want to be stranded in a cottage in Wales whilst it rains for 7 straight days, so we’re at stalemate. If pandemic ‘flu is on the cards, avoiding airports and splendid isolation shifts the balance in DH’s favour.

Why did I read this at 1.30am when I need a wee?

NextDoor I know right? 😂

This have slightly freaked me out haha, kids remembering their past lives/seeing ghost is both funny and horrifying.

I am agnostic/atheist (not sure what I believe in, if anything) but I have always been super sensitive to energy, I can't recall if I could see things as a kid but definitely presence. Something freaky did happen not too long ago...

So I have this weird thing with pregnant ladies where if I see the belly of a pregnant woman I have this overwhelming feeling of ''it's a boy/ it's a girl'' depending on the woman/baby it's really strange (and often I always get it right), and I don't really give it much thought and used to find it almost amusing until one of my friends got pregnant a few years ago and the minute I saw her belly I had this incredibly overwhelming yet dreadful feeling of '' Girl! But baby won't survive.''
It was absolutely AWFUL. I didn't say anything of course and I felt awful for even thinking it, yet two weeks later she found out she was expecting a girl and the next time I talked with her she told me her baby had died (in vitro).

It was probably just a terrible coincidence but I have stopped playing the guessing game now and try to avoid looking at pregnant bellies for too long.

Some things are weird. Not sure what the solution is about Birdy friend though, I would probably move out tbh...

This would freak me out. Mostly because whatever is using the badge as a conduit gets angry with your son and is fooling him into thinking it's the badge talking to him.

I would be getting a priest in. There was a presence in my house which really ramped up when DD was born. It wasn't harmful, just scared us to see it, the cat used to stare at it, but my DD used to laugh at it.

When DD was about 2, I ended up phoning the local Catholic priest to come out (not a Catholic but I have seen the exorcist......I wasn't faffing about with CofE ).

The priest came with Holy water and whatever it was went. It isn't a full on exorcism they do, more of a blessing in the house. Prior to that, I also used to get a lot of sleep paralysis. Never had it since.

Loads of kids talk about their other families. Dd2 cried hysterically for two days when hers moved out.

Oh don't, I've freaked myself out with reading about agenda 21, this is spooky

Creepy op! I remember an episode of A Haunting called Demon Child where a kid made friends with a spirit called 'man' who used to tell him things like BF is telling your son. It started off benign but then escalated 🙈

I described the house my mother grew up in, down to the smallest detail when I was about your child's age! My grandmother almost had a heart attack, and couldn't believe my mother hadn't told me all about the place as I was so accurate!

I sometimes wonder if memories are passed onto children...

Bloody hell! Either get the vicar or Bruce Willis round

@BunnytheBlueWhale I used to say that 😭
I'm intrigued by this thread & little bit freaked

Absolutely totally shameless placemarking.

I have a haunted object. A box that dp bought from a junk shop. He absolutely had to have it when he saw it in the window, called the shop owner to open the shop

That night I lay in bed with the image of a sad man, sat on my sofa. He wore a pair of heavy two tobe glasses, like the nhs frames used to do. He sat there for a while, thinking about his wife who had died then wandered off I search of her.

We call the box george now- it's broken but I'd never part with it

At least Birdie friend isn't a creepy doll or clown OP. That would be a cliche

Ask Birdie Friend what the lottery numbers are this week, if he knows so much. May as well be useful

Reincarnation is all I can think of.

We had this since age 2, But in previous house DD never wanted to go home. We moved when she was three and we've had stories of the people in the garden and most consistently of a little boy in the house. But she's not afraid. There's been other things, at grandparents house and when we went past a cramatorium where a relative was cremated. I don't believe in horror stories, so I just let her get on with it and try the chat normally when she tells me little boy is sitting on my knee..... 🤦‍♀️

@boatyardblues DH has been pushing for a UK holiday this year, but I don’t want to be stranded in a cottage in Wales whilst it rains for 7 straight days, so we’re at stalemate. If pandemic ‘flu is on the cards, avoiding airports and splendid isolation shifts the balance in DH’s favour.

book for devon...that way youre half way there should anything happen!

I would absolutely shit myself. You're a braver woman than me OP

If you want to know what lies ahead for you and your boy OP then you need to watch 'The Prodigy' on Netflix....

So I have this weird thing with pregnant ladies where if I see the belly of a pregnant woman I have this overwhelming feeling of ''it's a boy/ it's a girl'' depending on the woman/baby it's really strange (and often I always get it right)

So you have a 50/50 chance of getting this right and you still don’t have a 100% hit rate?

I think Mystic Meg’s job is safe.
