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.”

😂😱😨

Yeah BF, when are we all going to DIEEEE?

LookingGlassMilk · 11/03/2020 11:04

Come back OP! I need to know what middle class foodstuff birdie friend has been dipped in today!

I also want to know when to expect the coming apocalypse.

PlomBear · 11/03/2020 13:33

The submariner as I shall refer to him, dunked BF in holy water but he said that BF isn’t possessed or anything but the spirits are using DS as a conduit as he’s sensitive - as am I apparently! DS is using BF as a voice as he doesn’t know how else to express where the voices are coming from.

He said the house is full of entities and he told them all to leave. He said there were at least 7 and that there was a portal in the house which he has closed down. Maybe it’ll stop the woodlice coming in too?

Interesting so throwing BF away probably won't make a difference - if anything it might confuse your DS as he will no longer have an explanation for the voices. Curious to see how the next few days go!

Thread is almost full OP can I suggest starting a second one under "Other -> The unexplained" category?

Is their going to be a thread 2 or will we all be dead by then?

TeaForTara · 11/03/2020 20:40

OP I must congratulate you on keeping this thread going so brilliantly. I check in from time to time to read your very well-judged updates. Brava!

BengalGal · 11/03/2020 22:12

A portal! Wow! I didn’t even know they existed. Did he give any details about your spirits?

winewolfhowls · 11/03/2020 22:30

Op, I love your sense of humour, Id be terrified. I wonder if there are any places the opposite of a portal, like very spiritually quiet, perhaps you couldnt have a respite holiday there!

Surely 'Other -> explained', now we know it's because of the portal... Grin

TheRoqueforteFiles · 12/03/2020 01:04

Slaters are right behind cockroaches on the survivors scale. In that aspect you are doomed to coexisting with unwelcome visitors for the foreseeable! There is a 🏡 In the village that we call Woodlouse Cottage . They congregate, like muggers in a unlit city park after dusk, on this one property. I did notify the owner - who replied with they are harmless aren’t they ? Perhaps : but they do indicate you probably have a damp issue you should attend to. Honestly it was like a wee crustacean rave at ground floor level and the front garden vegetation was reduced to the kind of stubble you see after a moorland controlled burn. I did think of you yesterday when I was in receipt of a “ There ain’t enough sage for this shit ! “ meme. I like the sound of Deeps - are you allowed to retain his number on speed dial? and with him being a Subbie you know you didn’t mis hear porthole, so that’s a plus ! Did he concur with the characters your BF had identified. Please do indulge us with a following thread ... if you choose not to I wish you and your family well for the future. < unmumsnetty hugs >

I wish I didn't just read this thread while bored and awake at 1.30am Shock

AnneKipanki · 12/03/2020 07:48

You have a portal oo!

Loopylou6 · 12/03/2020 12:17

This is insane Grin

scryingeyes · 12/03/2020 12:23

wow! Looking forwards to more updates. I hope things settle down now and I really hope the end doesn't come any time soon.

Tzigane · 13/03/2020 14:42

Portals can be opened unintentionally by people doing Ouija boards. Perhaps a previous inhabitant dabbled...

They're quite hard to shut, so I'd be surprised if that attempt works conclusively. Also you can't really get rid of ghosts/entities by telling them to leave.

Tzigane · 13/03/2020 14:43

Not sure about the woodlice...

Wildthyme · 13/03/2020 14:48

🙄 Pointless guff.

PlomBear · 14/03/2020 09:34

Wildthyme - my dear, if you don’t like the post, why bother to post? One could say that your posts are “pointless guff” looking at what you write!

All the married quarters around here seem to have woodlice. Don’t think the house is particularly damp. Quality MoD housing I suppose!

I have the submariners number still, he is happy to come back if needed. He only charges for a cup of tea and a piece of cake - DS and I baked some chocolate beetroot brownies. Funnily enough, he talked about the entities present and they matched up with what DS was saying. The house seems strangely quiet now with our visitors gone.

I’m hoping that The End isn’t coronavirus related. It does seem odd that it’s all kicked off on a massive scale since BF’s predictions.

I’m glad you came back op. I thought bf had got you (or all the haters!)

PlomBear · 14/03/2020 10:07

Can’t believe I started this thread nearly two months ago! And look what’s happening now! Spooky.

DS has been fed home made waffles with maple syrup and is talking to BF. Still not really sure what’s going on there! “Mummy, Birdie Friend says he loves you.”

Well that’s better than telling me I’m going to die or that there’s a headless man in the garden!

I was thinking about taking DH to a ghost hunt of an old fort near here on the hill - but think it’s best if I park all the supernatural stuff to one side if I’m sensitive, I don’t really want to engage with it.

It’s really nice to not see shadow people out of the corner of my eye!

It’s funny that I’ve known quite a few military people with “the sight.” I used to work on a very old military base, dating back to the 1800s. I shared my office with an old staff sergeant who had the sight and some amazing stories!

Not really that funny, though. Military types are frequently not very well-educated and extremely superstitious.

PlomBear · 14/03/2020 10:41

BirdMascara - military people aren’t educated? Really?

I know quite a lot of military officers and other ranks and many have degrees and professional qualifications gained in service.
