2;8 LO's "pretend friend" is freaking me out.

I'm not sure where I stand on the subject of lost souls but my LO has recently been making lots of noise on the monitor after being put down to bed and this evening just casually brought up her "pretend friend" Abi. To my knowledge she doesn't know any Abis. She talked about her in a funny light-hearted way for about half an hour and then it began to scare me when she talked about being afraid and Abi being afraid of who was coming to get her. It went on until bedtime (a good hour in total) and the last bit seemed extremely anxious. Whatever I said made it worse so I just tried to distract her.

Any advice/ ideas? I know it's a strange one but having put her to bed I am feeling very uneasy and have my ear fixed to the monitor. Have also left the bedroom door open.

Hi,

Is your dd still talking to Abi? Whats happening?

My ds used to have conversations with an unknown person in his room when he was 2. It was really eerie listening to the moniter as he would pause to let the other person talk & then 'answer' if I say he used an answering tone of voice do you know what I mean.... Phoned my very level headed sister who told me to stop being an arse & he was probably talking to a teletubby!

Oh & the moniter also transmits noises from his room when he isnt in there kind of mumbling & sleep noises which isnt that nice.

Mind you I had to get rid of the previous moniter & buy another one & use a different channel as the old one would occasionally broadcast voices that either weren't in English or were too shrieky & mumbly to make out the words. It isnt just me, it happened when my friend was here too & she heard them. I have since convinced myself that it was picking up echoes from another moniter in another house.

I'm sorry anyway, this has nothing to do with imaginary friends, but I am genuinely interested to hear if its still happening.

I strongly believe in children's imaginary friends being spirits.
You could ask a priest to bless your home. That'd be a good first move IMO.

HI don't know if you're open to this but you can try it yourself and see what happens, you don't even need to believe. In your mind or out loud ask Archangel Michael to clear your home and your child of any lower energies, and then say thanks.
I have a friend whose son was speaking to man in his bedroom, he reported that he would 'watch over him as he fell asleep'. I think the child was a bit scared, but his mother was more scared as she didn't know how he could see anyone. I asked AA Michael to clear the energies and to assist the family in dealing with any spirits in the home, and the child stopped seeing the man in his room.
HTH, as I say, you don't need to believe but I think it's worth a try.

monitors admit frequencies, spirits travel thru these, as long as your daughter is not afraid then there isnt a problem, dont be afraid, speak out loud to the spirit, if you feel it is troubling your child then bring someone in to cleanse your house, try burning sage in her bedroom
