My kid is afraid of a ghost in our home

Well that's unsettling! I hope you figure it out. Has your child tried simply telling this "ghost" to go away and that it isn't welcome? It helps.

Unless it's a demon. I. That case, you're gonna need a professional. Don't let it scare you though. It loves that kind of energy.

Now that was a surprise. A GLP ghost thread that actually sounds honest and credible.

Regardless of whether there is a ghost or not (I don't personally believe in them), I hope you find a way to ease her fears. If she was my kid, I'd do just what you're doing and see if the problem goes away as she grows up. Just don't show her that you're worried or pay a lot of attention on 'the ghost' (like talking to it in her presence). Focus on her.

So,you new there was a problem with the room and you stick your kid in it!!Get a priest soft lad!

Not yet. I have read that it may be a bad idea to communicate with a ghost in any way because it might make it more active. I have asked her to tell us when the ghost appears and call for us - even waking us up at night - if it is bothering her.

It's hard to talk with her about the ghost without alarming her or giving her ideas which would make it harder to separate fantasy from her real fears. I have simply told her to come to us if she is feeling afraid and that we'll try to deal with the problem.

I had an experience when i was 4/5 years old. My parents would not listen to me. Would turn on all the lights-make me look under the bed and cuboards etc and despite me trying to tell them that "they" were not physically "there" . My parents would get so furious and smack the crap out of me.

So i took business into my own hands. They were less scary than my parents...There was always more than a few talking to me (sometimes all at once) and always seemed frustrated. But i managed to talk to one - i asked very politely if they could make it all go away because i was not getting much sleep and i didnt like being frightened and didnt know what they wanted. "She" witchidy witch was the name i gave her ..i know..i was 4. But she asked me if i was sure once more if i wanted it to stop. .I said yes..and it did.
True story.
Could of been my imagination- who knows. But it was real to me at the time.

So my advice to you is to get her to maybe face her fears, be respectful and ask kindly for them to leave her alone.
Worth a shot.

not a ghost. it's a poltergeist. just psychic energy. very difficult to get rid of. do the research. make the kiddo happier. lowering her stress level (there has to be something causing the stress- don't argue- just find it)
will help. that's about the only way. just don't think of it as an entity.

who you gonna call ????????

Maybe playing some really twangy country "music" would drive it away. Try playing some Scotty McCreery or Tammy Wynette. That'll get rid of it.

Children - their familiarity with nature spirits

"Beyond what we see lies a world we do not see and yet is just as real. This invisible world is inhabited by beings we call fairies, nature spirits. It can happen that children see these creatures. During their first few years they live in spontaneous contact with them. But if they speak about them to adults, especially their parents, the adults pay no attention or find their stories amusing. Then, because no one is taking them seriously, the children no longer say anything and even come to doubt what they experienced, until finally they forget it. Very young children possess a kind of clairvoyance, and if adults agreed to lend an ear to their stories they would make astonishing discoveries, which might allow them to recall experiences they had in their own childhood. Through their neglect they deprive themselves of something very precious.
So pay attention to what a small child expresses, even one that is seemingly less awakened, for their spirit, which is not yet completely incarnate, senses what adults no longer see or sense. Children do not truly inhabit their physical body until they are seven years old. Until then they live partly outside their body, and this is why the spirits of the invisible world are familiar presences to them."
