I realize a 4 year old is at most 3 years removed from crawling and babbling. Discounting a 4 year old’s report of a demon dancing outsde a window is NOT an attack on the value of 4 year olds. It’s realism.

Whether 4 years old or 40, discounting anyone's report of a demon dancing outside a window is realism.

“Whether 4 years old or 40, discounting anyone’s report of a demon dancing outside a window is realism.”

Thank you. And in this case it’s two little kids and IMHO the story is especially preposterous because of all things, it involves a demon dancing outside a window.

What the Hell (pun intended) does a demon achieve by dancing outside your window once when you’re a little kid?

Sadly, running around believing everything a 4 year old reports is strikingly similar to the testimony accepted from children in the Salem witch trials, or in the McMartin school “molestation” cases.

Does that mean 4 year olds never tell the truth? No. It means they can easily imagine or make up seeing something, and when that something is a demon dancing outside a window, well ...

Just bothers me that people jump to the conclusion this is real and will insist on it.
