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.”

😂😱😨

PlomBear is probably feeding her hatchlings mealworms or something as we speak
Anyone else pick up on the fact that she went to bed with BirdieBadge on her bedside table - and woke up to find it in bed with her?

I tried to find the nightclub story last night. I found it mentioned on a few threads via Advanced Search but not the actual story. When I went back to try again it came up with zero results repeatedly

Sorry love, if you're not on the list, you're not reading the nightclub story

Ok I’ve name changed for this as I dont want anyone that may recognise me know I’ve posted before.

My mum said when I was younger I would always stare and laugh into the corner of the room but nothing was there.

When my grandad died I was so upset I was 10. The night of his funeral, I walked out the living room into the hall and closed the door behind me, so I was in darkness, but I knew if I turned to my left, I would look into a bedroom, where the door was open an I would be staring into a window, I knew if I turned round, I would see my grandad and I didn’t want to see him.

I had experiences where I’ve thought of something ie a film of a song that I haven’t heard or seen for ages and then a couple of days later I will see that film on tv or hear the song on the radio. It has even happened to people, people have even mentioned it to me that it’s spooky I will think “I wonder what happened to such and such we haven’t see then for a while” and a few days/week later we will see or hear of them.

IA year and a day after my dads funeral. I had a dream I was in a house which wasn’t my dads and he was having a nervous breakdown (he had a breakdown in the past) and I was trying to get him into the house and a nurse was saying we ended to get him to hospital. I was then sitting in a bus and my dad was standing on the bus being really agitated and pointing out his friends when we passed them on the bus. All of a sudden I stood up and said “why are you here, I buried you, you died, why are you here”. My dad then turned to me, very calmly Looked at me and said “you need to give up your job, this job isn’t the one for you”. I can’t still remember every single detail of that dream and can clearly see my dads face.

My mum sometimes dreamt of snakes, she was petrified of them. Whenever she dreamed of snakes she would say someone i know is going to die and sure enough she would hear of someone she knew who had died, it could have been someone from her past a neighbour or a family member.

I had a dream about snakes and it was a really horrible dream, great big snakes trying to get to me. I was on holiday with my friend and when I woke up in the morning I told her about it. It really creeped me out but I never thought anything else of it. My mum died 2 days later and she died on her and my dads wedding anniversary.

@debwong Ha ha! Found it, posted above.

That’s not a gift though , that happens to lots of people it’s just a coincidence or something subconscious .
It happens to me now and again too

@angelmum6, I am always intrigued by what people mean when they say they saw a ghost. Does the ghost look exactly the same as a human being and if you didn’t know they shouldn’t be there you wouldn’t know they were a ghost?

Forget the nightclub, @Hoik, you and that thread have reminded me of the great and incredible joy that was Tristan and Molly and the Sinister Camping Pods Full of Faceless Men and Plot Holes.

I knew if I turned to my left, I would look into a bedroom, where the door was open an I would be staring into a window, I knew if I turned round, I would see my grandad and I didn’t want to see him

A good friend of mine died. I got home and I knew if I opened the kitchen door he would be in there. The way he died wasn't nice and I was so frightened to see him. I wish I had opened the door, I'm sure he was just there to say goodbye, but I couldn't. If someone had paid me a million pounds I couldn't have opened that door. I went out to a friend's until my flatmate got back and I never had that feeling again.

The world is full of the unexplained, that's for sure.

Has the OP been seen today?

'@Chocpear I believe that we probably see ghosts all the time but are unaware, or experience timeslips of some sort. I have only ever seen "transparent" apparitions once in a story I described above from my childhood and I believe that was some sort of imprint or energy memory. The others have been solid, if slightly "faded". That's the only way I can describe it. Very occasionally I'll see somebody who looks out of place or not quite right and I wonder...but you can't go up to people and say "are you dead"?

Cheers @TheFormidableMrsC! That's really quite a creepy story....

Placemarking scaring myself shitless why do I read these threads when DH is going onto his backshift and won't be here in the dark?!?!?

I’ve seen ghosts. I was with a friend and we both saw the same three people. It felt like a time slip to Victorian London. Incredible.

It was the late 1980s. I was in my first job, straight from school. It was really dull, and I knew that being an insurance clerk was not what I wanted out of life, so I enrolled at the local tech college to do evening classes in something more interesting.

One night, early on in the course, I was running late for class. When I arrived at the college, the usual car park was full. I drove around, and found a place to park a little further out. I walked back towards the college in the dark, through the grounds of a deserted hospital. There were signposts for various wards and departments like X-Ray etc., but there was absolutely no one around at all. That struck me as odd, and then I suddenly realised that the nearest hospital was actually a couple of miles away in a different part of the city!

It was so weird, I was a bit freaked out. I was considering whether to run back to the car, but I decided to carry on a bit further around the next corner. Only to come face to face with....

.... some locked up camera vans, catering trucks, etc. They’d been filming Casualty at the college earlier in the day! What a muppet!!

They don't just show up at night you know. I've experienced what I later learned was a well known local ghost in broad daylight, I literally jumped & screamed as it runs at you looking crazy & then it was gone. I thought I'd imagined it & didn't know about this ghost story. I've now seen it 3 times. I've also experienced what I think was a time slip in broad daylight on the yorks moors. One of the airmen in old uniform I was looking at, looked back & was shocked too

@PurpleMice.

At least you haven't spun that into a Ghostly Time Slip, unlike the person on a thread years ago who kept on insisting that she'd experienced a troop of ghost horsemen at dawn on Oxford Street even after several posters had pointed out that one of the mounted regiments regularly exercises in Hyde Park in the early morning and heads back to barracks along Oxford St.

The thing about hearing a song soon after thinking about to, or hearing from someone when you think of them out of the blue, is very common and has been explained. Think of all the times you think of someone and don’t hear from them the next week. It’ll be way more!

The day after he died he came back to me in a dream and it was so real, I could feel his fur and him licking my face. It wasn’t a normal dream, I really believe he was there. Unfortunately in my dream I got hysterical that he was there (I was so upset when he died I had to take tranquilisers for a few days), and when I got upset he just faded away and he never came back sad. I really think he’d come back to say goodbye.

I can relate to the dream feeling real. At a certain point in my dream, I realised I was in a dream because I remembered my Dad was dead and the dream became lucid. At that point I started to cry and when I woke up I was sobbing. It was so real that, whilst comforted by ‘seeing’ my Dad it reawakened the sense of loss and I was tearful for several days afterwards. When he actually died, he had phoned me saying he wanted to see me but he had lost consciousness before I got to the hospital so we never got to have a final face-to-face conversation. In hindsight, I think the dream was an attempt to right that.

I picked DS up from nursery, his first day today. To set the scene, it’s part of a rather naice prep school and he only goes up until lunch time.

His nursery teacher is very nice. She said DS was a lovely little boy but can he stop walking round with BF going up to other children and telling them they’ll be dead soon?

DS cried and said he’s just telling them what BF says. The chaplain to coming around tonight!

Yikes! What a way to start at nursery!

Ok, if you're actually serious and he did this, forget the chaplin and treat it like any other behavioural issue.

Throw out the badge and tell him that it was unkind to say those things to other children because it would make them upset and it's all nonsense. Then take him out and go to the park or something to distract him.

@RockinHippy yes, thanks for that

Just the OP saying about going to nursery reminded me that DD told us about a woman who used to sit in one of the rooms in her nursery and would tell her to go away if DD got too close. She didn't like that lady. Definitely wasn't one of the nursery workers, it was a room they only used for playing in so the actual worker would take them through. This woman never went anywhere. Eventually DD never mentioned her again and they were using that room as their regular activities room so we were glad she didn't see her anymore.

She's also seen my grampa and my granny (who died years before she was born). I absolutely believe that children are able to tune into things we can't as adults.
