Imaginary or a Real Ghost?

Posted on June 26, 2010

I am 19 now and it’s been six years now that my imaginary friend talks to me. I don’t know if she’s real or not but I’ve got a distinct feeling she’s an old woman. She follows me everywhere. How do I know? I can sort of feel another presence with me even when my friends aren’t around, she’s there with me. Walking beside me and for some reason I have the tendency to turn my head to look in just one direction even when I’m with my parents, she seems to be offering suggestions and her opinions.

I named her Kanna and she always suggests things to me as if she’s coaching me. She’s been around since I was thirteen. I don’t know if it’s just my imagination or if I’m just panicky, but I feel something watching me at night which makes it hard for me to sleep sometimes and to support this tale a bit, my family and I have lived in an apartment building that was just five steps away from a cemetery. It scared me as a kid at night and my parents always told me I used to tell them of a monster in my room, technically in the closet (it was an open closet, no doors) so I would always sleep with them.

I’m not saying she’s real but I just want your opinions on it, any suggestions? I would like to use a Ouija board if I could and see if I can make contact but my mom keeps forbidding me from ever using it she’s dead set against it. And just to add, “Kanna”  seems to be a peaceful imaginary friend. Can I get some help?

    i’m sure she is around you. she hasn’t done anything harmful has she? ghosts are everywhere. don’t worry about it!

  2. Kat says:

    Spirit guide maybe? I didn’t think they talked to us so directly but could be she is your guide. Don’t take my word on that though, just guessing.

  3. Honeybee says:

    To Witchlady and all others who relate to this:

    It actually sounds like you are aware of your spirit guide- how wonderful! judging by your description she seems peaceful and a good spirit- something for your growth and protection- not a demon or negative entity. However- your Mom is right on-I would suggest NOT using an ouija board since they seem to attract negative energies in a powerful way- like its a portal and it just opens your environment up to any old random entity . there is alot of negative entities out there and it could cause you trouble not to mention it could impersonate Kanna- I would do some research and find some trustworthy guidance in more consciously interacting with Kanna. I think you are really lucky! Actually everyone supposedly has pychic powers/gifts although most of the time dormant. And everyone has at least one or many guides that can help them evolve as a spiritual being. I think they want to make contact but often when they try we shut down in disbeleif or fear – or react with fear having no context or knowledge of the other side or being taught that all spirits are evil/bad. There is some caution to exercise when deaing with these realms. Opening up your third eye can be exhilerating but also overwhelming/dangerous if you don’t know what to expect or see something that runs counter to your life /beleif experience. and to be sure – There are also entities which may be negative and want to use your energy- they may act like guides but are not so exercising caustion is always a good idea. Perhaps a trusted medium or someone who has experience working wth guides/angels can help you develop your relationship in a safe manner. there are ways to do it without a ouija board- I am reading a book about working with spirit guides – check it out for some introduction to it – this book I am reading that is kind of old and could be out of print but perhaps you can find a copy out there online somewhere? – or I am sure there are TONS of great books/schools/workshops with advice on guide relationships. The name of the book I am reading is called Companions in Spirit- by Leah Maggie Garfield edited by Jack Grant. How AWESOME! Remember to follow your gut- a true guide would never do anything to make you feel uncomfortable or violate you- ta guide will not / cannot hurt you- but incase you come across anything in your explorations that wants to hurt you or becomes atttched to you cause you can see it -or sense it- use pyschic protection when engaging in exploration of other spiritual dimensions. Enjoy your relationship – I am sure there are wonderful things Kanna has to teach you. Learn grounding and protective energetic exercises -
    wishing you protection and light in your journey- thanks for reading Honeybee

    • Kind Skeptic says:

      Excellent advice, Honeybee!

      If more people spent more time learning to meditate (safely), they would be less stressed, depressed and hostile. Our guide(s) are always available and are always with us. It’s so pleasant to read such a postive posting! Live well….

    • Sins Angel says:

      I agree with you and it dose sound like you have a guide learn from her you never know it could be someone from your family looking over you and I would STAY AWAY from the flippin boards they are nothig but trouble she is peacfull but you mess with one of those boards and you never know what you wi awaken around you and. It migh not be so nice it might try to do things to harm you. There is other ways you can try to comunicate with her at night whe your there in the quiet try talkin to her if she is able to give you advice and guide you them if you try and listen with your heart u can talk with her. But please please for your safety stay away from the board….

  4. Pete says:

    Listen to your Mom, Ouija boards are a no no, you never know who or what you are
    inviting in. find other ways but please stay clear of the Ouija.

    • Suzi says:

      i agree with pete

      • Mastiff says:

        I agree with Suzi who agrees with Pete.

        • lunawatsername says:

          i kind of agree with mastiff who agrees with suzi who agrees with pete. i dont think a spirit board is necessarily a bad thing, buti dont think its necessary here. i think your just more in touch with your spirit guide than most people are :)

    • Carla says:

      I agree with you pete, quija boards are or can be used as a door or portal & one never knows what might decide to wander through it.. quija boards arent games and should be respected.. once the door is opened its not that easy to close and even then who knows what you might have let in that wants to stay with you.. my daughter is 12yrs. old & she isnt built like a barbie doll,kids @ school are unforgiving and hateful towards her because she is overweight & she has been thinking about suicide because she feels she isnt woth anything and is a waste of space(her words).she has one friend named SAM and he is a ghost she says and she totaly believes in him. I guess Sam has talked her out of suicide many times. reason being is because sam doesnt want to have teala die &cross over because the he would be left all alone here..any advice or input anyone can give me? I dont know how or what to say or do to help her see how beautiful and smart & loved she really is :( thanx for listening.

      • Mary says:

        Wow. It seems like SAM, whatever, whoever he is, is giving very good advice to your daughter. It might be interesting for her to ask him what his story is.
        It might also be a good idea to try to find some professional services for her. If you don’t have insurance to cover the expense, check to see if there is a clinic in your community, or one associated with a church you feel comfortable with. They often have sliding scale fees based on client’s income. If you daughter has considered suicide even once it should be taken serious, but she is indicating the thought has crossed her mind more tha once. Personally I would consider it an emergency.
        I will add that as a child of about the same age, I had a good deal of trouble with local bullies. You can assure her that the bullying has more to do with those kid’s having real problems with self esteem and behavioral limits than it has to do with anything at all about her. And you can assure her that as she grows she will move on, away from those selfish, self important little brats into a life of accomplishment that she will enjoy very much, and that she will have many friends who will admire and enjoy her company. This is first hand testimony!
        Meanwhile, let’s hope SAM stays in place until he’s no longer needed. Which will likely be the case. And when he moves on, well there are a lot of bullied kids in this world needing support.

  5. mimi says:

    I think your mother is right. YOU SHOULD NEVER PLAY WITH AN OUIJA BOARD. Otherwise you will be regretful since you may end up communicating with some demons. Once a demon haunts you, it would be very hard to get rid of, sometimes you can be in deep trouble. It is no joke.

    I don’t know about your imaginary friend. She or he might be a haunted ghost. Whatever it is, as long as she or he is dead, the spirit should go to the light or somewhere else. If I were you, I would not try to communicate with this spirit since you and the spirit belong to different worlds, but that is just my opinions. By the way, you can only feel her but have never seen her right?

  6. AnNa says:

    i wouldnt let it bother you.you said yourself shes peaceful.since you live beside a cemetery maybe shes from there.maybe she wants to help you.thats why maybe shes whispering for that reason.i’ve always wanted to live beside a cemetery not to go in there but just to see what i can see at night.weird i know.dont use a ouija board you dont have to listen to me because ive never played with one but who knows what going to happen if you do.something bad can happen,if not worse.trust your mother and dont.thanks for the story and if anything else happens let us know.

  7. Rylee says:

    First-NO OUJA BOARD.
    Second-Try investigating ur old house.

  8. A.M.S.J.F says:

    “Kanna” is something you need to get rid of right away she may seem like a nice sweet little old ghost lady but she’s not. the suggestions she’s giving you are something you need to stop listening to and don’t i repeat don’t you the ouija boards those are a portal for demons to go through and you will have more trouble than before. get rid of Kanna she will convice you to do things you wil later in life regret.

  9. Pat says:

    Hmmmm I am going to have to ponder that one….in a way it may well be a benign spirit or even the spirit of a deceased family member….in any event I would not encourage the relationship but to acknowledge it is fine; it seems benevolent…. DO NOT USE AN OUIJA BOARD PLEASE! IF you feel the need to find out who/what it is; tell it ‘I am leaving a tape recorder on tonight; if you can, talk to it and tell me who you are.’ that is one way to try to communicate with it…. good luck!

  10. Damin says:

    Never use a Ouija Board. They open a portal that allows evil and dark spirits into the living.

  11. Tess says:

    hey everyone who’s so set against ouija boards, have people with bad experiences learned to use them and asked for protection? I’ve used them harmlessly plenty. So if you want to use it ask something for protection, be strong and think exactly who you want to talk to.

  12. Ella says:

    whatever you do, don’t use a ouija board!!!!!

    ;) Nice story
