An Imaginary Friend Can Be A Real Ghost

December 7, 2007

Recently we received another story that explores the subject of imaginary friends. Experts tell us that there is no reason to be concerned when our child “encounters” an imaginary friend. They say that it is harmless and can actually benefit the child by helping them to develop their imagination.

But what if your child’s relationship with an imaginary friend goes much further than simple imagination? Many different cases have been reported which indicate that there can often be a more macabre explanation of the child’s imaginary friend than just simply imagination.

What do you do if the imaginary friend disturbs or even harms your child? Is that even possible? Can an imaginary friend actually torment or frighten a child?

    Hello Jessika

    I am sure that a child’s imaginary friend is usually nothing more than their imagination. BUT, I have no doubt that some of those ‘imaginary’ friends are much more. It has often been said, and written, that children are more perceptive to ghosts than adults. How easy it would be for a ghost to make contact with a child?

    I also think that it is possible for an imaginary friend to be a demon in some cases. A demon is not the same thing as a ghost. Some ghosts, or spirits, are mailicious or ‘evil’, however all demons are so.

    My friend had an imaginary friend and when i spent the night over her house weird things was happening like doors opened by themselves, covers being pulled off, and people getting touched. she said it must be Ana, her imaginary friend. i told her that ana is a ghost or demon. dont ever talk to an imaginary friend because they are more than imaginary.

    yea that story freaked us out i know ghosts ARE real but i never knew that they cud do that kind of stuff. i remember when i was a kid i had an imaginary friend and she had an imaginary horse. one day the “horse” brought home a friend “cat” the next day the cat was gone and the “horse had a big scratch mark on it. also i was sitting in my room wit ALL the lights off and there was a face in my mirror and it began talking to me calling my name. i looked around but NOTHING was there!!

    I can Remember a time when my friend and I were babysiting and the child name was Johnathan. he always spoke n a very weird voice to himself. That night he told us his imaginary friend spoke to him. We did not believe him until he told the “friend” to open the door..it did and never again did we baby sit for him..

Got something to say?
