| When I was a child of 4 or 5, I would often wake up in the middle of the night to ghosts. It was two little boys glowing green. The boys, I feel, were brothers. They were dressed as children were in the early 1900's. My mother, of course, would always tell me I was dreaming, and I would believe her had it not happened on numerous occasions. I was never afraid of my night time visitors, and they never spoke a word, just stood and stared.
Another experience I had was shortly after my grandfather died. My mother had woken up in the middle of the night and hear a distinct clicking sound that my grandfather's ankle used to make when he would walk up stairs. My mom wrote it off as greif for her lost father, until the next morning when I woke up and told her that grandpa had come to visit me in the night.
I am a strong believer of the paranormal. And a strong believer that these are personal experience I had with ghosts. I would just like to know what others think about this. | |

| It could be, I'm really not sure.
I know that when I was a kid I would see things as well, at about the same age. I remember at one point waking up at the house of my parent's friends (they had to go out of town and I stayed the night) and the open closed across from me contained two flags having a conversation.
I -KNOW- I was awake but that's the extent of it. I never will be able to know for sure if I'm just seeing things or if I was seeing things, you know? | |

| Yeah. Especially since I was so young, I could have just convinced myself over the years that all this really happened. When really it was just my TV being left on, I had convinced myself that it was two little boys, and as more and more time passed I forgot what really happened and just believed it was ghosts. I have heard that children are so much more susceptible to paranormal activity, but I guess I'll never really know what happened those nights. | |

| I heard somewhere that a childs mind is like a sponge and they are open to many things, which makes them prone to seeing ghost, the interesting part is that we begin to question what we hear and see once we start school because at that time the brain is taught patterns (just one example) by doing this you begin to close your brain off and use your brain to work on patterns not on something outside that. I hope that made sense, it did in my head. | |

| I don't recall but one of my sisters said when I was three I told my mom I saw my grandparents (they had just died and we moved into their house) and she told me I didn't.
My mom's a real conservative Christian who claims she doesn't believe in that stuff and that it's a sign of the devil being near or something. But according to my sisters who saw and heard stuff around the house, there was a lot of activity. | |
