When I was a kid (through late teens), Ouija Boards worked well, I had lots of deja vu incidents, and lots of really weird coincidences all around the world. That all ended when I was about 25 years old.

I never saw a ghost, but I had sleep paralysis once.

I was late 20’s, it was crazy.

Dad told me 65 years ago that the dead cannot hurt anyone. It is the living you have to watch out for.

I have found that to be true.

I saw a tranny when my friend and I were eating out in sixth grade. Does that count?

They're coming to get you, haha,haha. They're coming to take you away haha.

Who would of thunk children have dreams? When a child my favorite hero was Superman. Had the same dream many times that if I ran fast enough and lifted my legs I could fly. Bummer, I could only get 3 feet off the ground. However, I did an awesome skid/brody when I put my feet down.

EWTN TV (Catholic network) show Living Divine Mercy was on tonight.
“ HOSTS WHO ARE THEY?
Just in time for Halloween, Fr. Chris Alar explores the many occurances of ghosts in the Bible. Learn about the three kinds of ghosts, where they come from, how we should relate to them, and why some could be demonic.”

He said not to tempt the demonic to enter our world or do more harm by using tarot cards, ouija boards, mediums, fortune tellers and so on. Shun all of these, he said.

Distinguished them from sincere people who without trying were contacted by spirits sent from God such as a woman who didn’t try to hear from the other world but had a dream which was verified by her sister’s death hundreds of miles away at the same time as her dream.

And a NY police officer who was the basis for the book and movie Deliver Us From Evil (John Sarchie) and now helps people who are targets of demons or alleged ones. He debunks many.

Interesting show even for non-Catholics like me.

How about Shadow People?

But assuming Ghosts, they are probably trying to warn about pronoun proliferation.

When I was a kid, I was always convinced there was a boogey man in my closet. The fact that the door would creak and open on its own at night did not help.

My daughter used to see one. An old polish guy. She wasn’t scared. She said he was nice.

My grand daughter was in the pool with me the other day when a helicopter flew overhead. She said that she used to fly one of those…but not like that one. She is 3.

Kid have imaginations that haven’t been constrained. I think it’s cool.

My oldest son, when he was about 3yo would tell us detailed stories about things he did “before he grew down.” We were kinda torn between asking him for more details or gently telling him that he was our baby boy and he was just dreaming his previous adventures. Very interesting time.

He grew up fine and is very successful. 😁
