My child has a badge that sees ghosts?

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.”

😂😱😨

I think birdie friend needs to get mysteriously lost ASAP and then set on fire, ashes put into a box full of crosses, and buried far from home

If birdie friends reappears you know you’re in the shit.

Hurrah, glad you’re back, OP.

Please do keep us updated!

Put the thing in a circle of salt 😉

BF is no longer allowed to go to nursery.

Apparently the people who used to live years and years here are called Dot and Bill. They don’t live here now but the little boy is still here. That’s BF’s latest message. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Trying to work out how old this house is. I thought 1970s but my dad thinks 1950s due to the thick walls, picture rails and serving hatch.

Any old folk on your street that have been around a while and can verify a Dot and Bill living there? Or you can check census records online.

SmellMySmellbow · 27/01/2020 18:29

And rhe year your house was built will be on the Deeds.

sodabreadjam · 27/01/2020 18:31

Available census records only go up to 1911 at the moment - 1921 will be released in 2021. Some websites (Ancestry) do have the electoral rolls for more recent times.

SirVixofVixHall · 27/01/2020 18:37

There is also the 1939 census.

Yorkshirelass04 · 27/01/2020 18:37

Pleased you're ok OP :)

My grandparents were called Dot and Bill.

NemophilistRebel · 27/01/2020 18:49

Can also check age of house by looking up the ordinance survey maps of the past.

They did them ever 10 years or so so easy to pinpoint what decade it was built as to if your house is drawn on the map or not

PlomBear · 27/01/2020 19:09

It’s military married quarters so no deeds sadly. I’ll look at the ordnance survey maps.

NemophilistRebel · 27/01/2020 19:58

Military records would know the date

Of all records everywhere, military ones are the best (unless they need to cover something up)

JamMakingWannaBe · 27/01/2020 20:50

I have to admit I was enjoying BF's messages! Not sure I'd want your son to announce, "Dot and Bill say you're gonna die soon....!"

BengalGal · 28/01/2020 17:45

Why can’t DS go to nursery? Just because he said those things? That is downright mean!

BengalGal · 28/01/2020 17:48

Maybe you could get a medium to help see what’s going on. My mom never believed until her deceased husband starting haunting her after she spilled big secrets to his daughter. A psychic person came and got him into the light and all the hauntings stopped.

DS can go to nursery - BF has to stay at home.

NoNameNoGame · 28/01/2020 18:45

I'm not sleeping tonight...

ILoveAScotchEggMe · 29/01/2020 11:42

iklboo DS is going to nursery. It's the badge that is staying at home.

My Nan visited me shortly after she died to say she was ok and looking for our old family friend in heaven. It was a lucid dream but my god it felt real – we had a proper conversation. I’d love for her to visit again, it was incredibly comforting

I had this, I dreamt of my dad after he died, we met in the pub and had a drink and good chat, it was nice and gave me some closure as he'd died very suddenly of a heart attack.

iklboo · 29/01/2020 14:25

@ILoveAScotchEggMe - I know. It was BengalGal who got mixed up Grin

ILoveAScotchEggMe · 29/01/2020 14:57

iklboo Oh I'm so confused Grin

iklboo · 29/01/2020 17:16

It's BF - it's messing with your mind!!!!Grin
