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.”

😂😱😨

Shameless Birdie Placemark.

The storm has certainly been the beginning of the end of our Wendy house. Maybe that’s what he means?

Tredegar House gives me the creeps, especially the upstairs room that is cordoned off. I told the tour guide that and he said, interesting, you aren't the first person to say that

CanuckBC · 16/02/2020 07:53

This thread was an awesome read! Between the actual op’s story and everyone else’s, le sigh. I can’t wait for more😁

Aleister Crowley was a twat.

iklboo · 17/02/2020 19:47

I work with a chap who is a descendant of Aleister Crowley. He's a lovely bloke (friend, not Al).

Jiggles101 · 17/02/2020 19:58

Walkingwiththebufallo - I've read that he was actually rather misunderstood and I know people who have found his work instrumental in coping with depression and anxiety.

He definitely was a odd character who did some crazy stuff but I think he gets misquoted a lot. He's about taking responsibility for yourself and doing no harm which I can't argue with!

greatandpowerfulozma · 19/02/2020 07:24

Just finished the full thread started about a week ago. Also think it should be in classics!

debbs77 · 19/02/2020 10:03

I'm not sure I will ever sleep again!

Msmcc1212 · 20/02/2020 10:31

What’s happening OP? You can’t leave us hanging. Has BF finally finished you all off?! Moved on to another family? 😱

PlomBear · 20/02/2020 10:46

Still here with BF. The activity in the house has stepped up - seeing shadow people out of the corner of my eye etc, things moving around. BF says he’s can’t wait to have a baby sister. We are TTC at the moment!

DH thinks I’m crazy!

Birdie Friend wanted KFC for lunch as a treat - despite being a bird! I’m watching DS push BF into some fried chicken saying “feed Birdie Friend, Feed!”

PixieRabbit · 20/02/2020 14:24

If BF/DS are so convinced you will give them a baby sister, presumably it will be at least 9 months till We All Die.

Best of luck with ttc, but take your time!

PlomBear · 20/02/2020 14:45

DH joked that the baby will be the Antichrist. I found that really reassuring.

WalkingWithTheBuffalo · 22/02/2020 14:37

Whatever else, sounds like you need a ghost healer/psychic medium for the activity in your house. I don't know where you are in the country but I could give you a couple of links via PM.

OnceUponAMidnightBeery · 26/02/2020 02:21

Am loving this thread. Generally I alternate between Mulder and Scully, but have experienced too many things to be an entire disbeliever.

I’m already a bit of a prepper though, and have been since reading Stephen Kings The Stand as a young teen.

If this is the end, it’s been a long time coming...

I missed whereabouts BF came from... since I’m Welsh too and all, maybe I could adopt his sibling...

myohmywhatawonderfulday · 27/02/2020 17:48

I am wondering if Birdie Friend has said anything new lately?

PixieRabbit · 27/02/2020 18:38

I’m curious too!

PlomBear · 28/02/2020 17:03

So we do still think that BF is making up The End in terms of coronavirus?

He’s currently being fed avocado hummus by DS. DS just said “mummy, BF said I won’t be going to nursery soon cos everyone will be gone.”

I said back that BF says very silly things sometimes.

FlamingoAndJohn · 28/02/2020 17:21

How soon is soon?

PlomBear · 28/02/2020 17:46

DS isn’t very good with time. Soon could be Monday or next month. 🤷🏻‍♀️

There’s apparently a man with no head in the garden but I’ve got used to seeing things here now!

OP posts:
myohmywhatawonderfulday · 28/02/2020 17:55

Thanks for coming back PlomBear. Not sure it's reassuring but it is good to hear from you. I do hope that BF has got his timing wrong and that soon means 80 odd years in the future!

Thehop · 28/02/2020 18:04

I can’t believe BF is still going strong 😮

PlomBear · 28/02/2020 21:54

DS told me BF wanted to sleep in my bed tonight. So DS is cuddling his walrus and I’m sitting in bed with a badge next to me.

Good birdie friend, nice birdie friend...

Pleasant dreams, OP!

Be sure to tell us your dreams.
