Don't know if I am reading too much into this, but...

[missytrouble]

My dd says she can see a man. Someimes he is funny and laughing, and other times she is scared by it. I think he is talking to her as when she says he is there and I tell her to ask him to go away and she says this and then I say has he gone, she says yes, but is looking at where he is as though she is listening to him.

She is quite advanced for her age, she is 2.5, so I don't know if she is scared because she knows she shouldn't be seeing what she is?

I don't know much about the families that have lived here in the past. My dad died 18 mths ago and my mum 9 weeks ago. Could it be my dad coming through on behalf of mum?

I know lots of children have imaginary friends but I fel it is more than that.

It wouldn't bother me if it wasn't frightening her.

Am I doing the right thing telling the man to go away?

I had this with dd. Small children do see and hear things that we can't. It may or may not be a problem. It was a big problem for us. I won't go into detail except to say that the man who was bothering my dd was extremely unpleasant.

I got a medium from my local christian spiritualist church to come and persuade him to go away. I also got some help to teach dd some techniques to "shut down" so she wouldn't see and hear so much, and would have some control over it.

We all see/hear spirit in my family, but to varying degrees, and small children are vulnerable. They also may not have the vocabulary to tell you everything.

Hi 3littlefrogs. Thanks for your help. Have been away so unable to reply till now.

dd was more settled while away and hasn't mentioned the man since we have been home.

I spoke with a psychic before we went and she suggested asking my dad to come and take the man away. I did this so hope it worked.

I wil speak with her again if it continues.

Thanks again. Hope your dd is ok now.

i also had similar problems and a medium told me to shield my daughter in suit of armour, very effective. i shield myself too (when i remember ) in a suit of armour and i feel lots calmer/stronger when i do.

Ummm maybe its an imaginary friend but she's picking up on the fact that you are thinking theres more to it?

tbh from the op, it doesn't sound like an imaginary friend. i think it's other people who call them that, thinking oh it's just their imagination when it isn't.

I'm sure it wasn't an imaginary friend because of how frightened she was. I remember having an imaginary friend and was totally different, helping her on the bus etc!

Dd stil hasn't mentioned the man so hopefully he has gone.

I will visit a medium when I feel it's the right time. It's only 12 weeks since mum died so think it's a bit soon yet.

Thought the medium might pick up on anything to do with dd?
