Ghost Boy on the Playground

Posted on June 2, 2008

There’s a lot of talk about children with imaginary friends. But what happens when the line between what is imaginary and what is real, is crossed? I don’t like to talk about my paranormal experiences. For one, I don’t want to believe them, and two, I don’t like to talk much. But there are times where I can’t just wave away the obvious truths. This is one of those times when it really wasn’t just “a part of my imagination.”

When I was in elementary school, I had little to no friends, because I was the most timid little thing you could find on the playground. Nobody wanted to play with the “quiet girl” who didn’t know how to play ball or climb monkey bars. So I often found myself sitting on the swings, looking out at the green field to watch the other kids fool around.

One day, I finally noticed another loner wandering around in the field by himself. He was around my age, eight at the time. I don’t remember exactly what he looked like, besides his sad, blue eyes, and that he never looked at anyone but me. It was probably a week or so later when I finally got the courage to walk over to him and ask for his name. I only remember that it sounded like, “Cody.”  So ever since then, I’ve only remembered him as Cody.

Cody was the only person I could talk to, because he hardly ever talked back. It was weird, because it was like he was in some kind of trance the first time I saw him. In fact, he didn’t even acknowledge me until many days after our first meeting.

I had begun to consider him as my only true friend when he asked me, “Where are my real friends?” I was saddened, but at the same time, I wanted to help him. He told me their names, so when recess was over, I asked a teacher. She gave me a strange look, and asked how I knew the names of her past students.

When I reluctantly told her that “Cody wanted to know,” she started to cry really hard. She asked me how I knew about a boy who died several years ago in a bus accident. When I asked again about his friends, she told me that they had all grown up and were probably already in college.

The day after that, I saw Cody again. And it would be last time I’d see him. He was at our usual meeting place, at the boundary between the field and the swing set. I remember feeling a rush of jealousy when I saw him, because I was reminded about his “real” friends. Running up to him, I told him that his friends were gone and that they were never coming back. He looked so shocked when I explained what the teacher told me, but then he smiled at me for the first time.

I was in tears by then, because I didn’t know why he would still smile at me when I had meant to hurt him. By the time I had gotten rid of the tears, he was gone like he had never been there.

To this day, I regret being so childishly cruel to him. If I could see him again, I would tell him how sorry I am. But I don’t know where the dead go. Wherever he is now, I just hope that he knows how much his presence meant to me when I didn’t have a friend.

    Hi Amber,

    Guardian angels do not link arms .. guides might, but the ‘cold’ draft is not a guide. Guides are always warm and friendly.

    Ask your guardian angel to ‘find’ the one who has linked arms with you and ‘take’ them into healing. (note the emphasised words) S/he will do that for you, if the being is not there for your greater good.

    Your guardian angel stands BEHIND your right shoulder. They never move from that spot.

    Love & Peace

    Yes, there is probably a angel by your shoulder. These will help me determine for you.

    1. Have you felt happier since you felt this happen?

    2. Has your 6th sense increased?

    3. Have you been having dreams of people that you know you havent seen before but its like you 2 are old friends?

    Hmmmm …

    Hi Amber

    Does this entity make you feel uncomfortable in any way? Our guardian angels come with love and light. We feel safe and secure in their presence.

    My first reaction is that what you have standing behind your right shoulder is possibly not one of your attending angels. An ‘imposter’, if you like? That said, it may still be Holy – just not one of your guardians.

    Tell it you only allow your guardian angels that represent God’s light into your ‘circle’. Tell it that, if it is not one of your guides, or if it does not represent God’s light then you order it to leave your presence immediately – you order it out in the name of God (or Jesus, if you prefer.)

    Even Holy spirit will leave on this command. Unholy spirit certainly does – maybe not perminantly, but it does leave for a while.

    Try it out and see what happens. If it remains, it’s one of your guides & my inital reaction was wrong.

    Hi Social_D,

    Not sure how Hebrews 1:7 relates “of the angels he says, He makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire.”

    1:14 .. lovely … “Are not all angels spirits in the divine service, sent to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?” though the writer is speaking of Christ’s superiority over the angels and not about them guarding humans.

    Love & Peace
    Ama

    Ha … you had the same thought. Im was probably doing two things at the same time forgot the (-14). opps. Amen Sister

  7. Ben says:

    Can you see the angel?
    how tall is it?
    Please reply

    • Ama says:

      Hi Ben,

      Classically angels were thought to be between 10 feet and 14 tall. Personally, they come in all different heights, just like humans .. but usually very tall, unless they are looking like children for the people they are looking after.

      Love & Peace
      Ama
