About ghosts with children and parents. Do ghosts visit children more often than adults? Poltergeist and stalking

This rapidly gaining popularity on the Internet story began in August. It was then that a New Yorker, a popular artist in his circles Adam Ellis, first spoke about the ghost of a dead boy who lives in his house.

So, my apartment is currently being haunted by the ghost of a dead child and he's trying to kill me. (thread)
August 7, 2017

According to Adam, for the first time the child began to appear in his dreams, but later somehow moved to the real world. He saw it while experiencing sleep paralysis - the ghost was sitting in a rocking chair right in front of his bed. He had a large deformed head, which Adam tried to depict using his illustrator skills:

He had a huge misshapen head that was dented on one side. I did my best to draw it: pic.twitter.com/AJizlw7qXe

Later, Adam dreamed that he was in a library. There, a girl approached him and asked him if he had seen "dear David". Adam clarified the question, and the girl replied that David was dead, but he could ask two questions. If set to three, the ghost will kill him.

She continued, "He" s dead. He only appears at midnight, and you can ask him two questions if you said "Dear David" first."

Another dream - and now David is back. Sitting back in the rocking chair, watching Adam sleep. Taking advantage of the girl's advice, Adam asked the ghost two questions.

"Dear David, how did you die?".

"Accident in the shop," the ghost replied.

In the dream, I say, "Dear David, how did you die?" He mumbles, "An accident in a store."

"What happened in the shop?" Adam asked.

"They pushed a shelf on my head," David replied.

I say, "Dear David, what happened in the store?" He groans, "A shelf was pushed on my head."

"Who pushed the shelf?" Adam clarified. David was silent. And then Adam realized what a mistake he had made, and woke up in horror.

Over the next few weeks, he tried to find out any information about the child who died in the store, tried different spellings of the name, but to no avail. By that time, he had ceased to be haunted by nightmares and it seemed that everything worked out. But then Adam noticed a strange thing - for four nights in a row, his cats sat at the front door at exactly midnight and looked under it, as if watching someone on the other side.

For the past 4 nights, my cats gather at the front door at exactly midnight & just stare at it, almost like something is on the other side pic.twitter.com/Y8nnVLv6b4

One night Adam tried to look through the peephole. And he is ready to swear that he saw some movement in the corridor. After that, he decided that dear David was now haunting him in reality. At this point, the retelling ends and the live broadcast of events from Twitter begins.

Two days in a row, still at 12 midnight sharp, the cats kept reacting strangely to the front door.

Adam took a picture of the view from the peephole, then plucked up the courage to open the door. Of course, there was no one at the door. But as he looked through the photos, he noticed something that seemed to be hiding behind a shoe rack.

A few days later, Adam began to hear strange sounds in the apartment at night, after which he decided to record them on a voice recorder. In total, there were 33 entries, some of which he published online.

The first is a snapping sound & what seems like a single step. It "s odd because I didn't get out of bed all night. //t.co/j3Inwh4Sx0

Adam bought an instant camera, which worked for a while, after which all the pictures taken in his apartment turned dark. For comparison, he attached a photo where he covered the lens with his finger (left).

The photo on the left is me covering the lens with my finger. The one on the right is my fully lit hallway taken just after midnight. pic.twitter.com/g652MVqRj9

On August 21, Adam had a dream in which David led him by the hand through an abandoned vault. The dream was rather dark and eerie. Waking up, Adam was horrified to notice a bruise on his arm - exactly in the place that the dead boy was holding on to.

Starting from August 26, Adam began to receive phone calls from an unknown number. Basically, on the other end of the wire, the subscriber remained silent, but once he answered - a short "hello", in a quiet childish voice. Adam hung up in horror.

He moved the green chair in which the ghost first appeared into the living room and set up a motion-sensing camera for the night. On August 29, the camera captured something mysterious - the chair began to sway by itself. According to Adam, the windows in the apartment were closed and there was no wind.

Adam posted another video taken later that night. One of the subscribers in the comments noticed - where did one of the blue chairs in the background go? Adam rushed to check the living room in horror, but the chair was still in the same place as in the first video. Where could he have disappeared to?

Wait, wtf. Someone just pointed out that one of the blue chair in the background disappears in the second video. pic.twitter.com/mhlslwwzlV

Children perceive the world in a special way, sometimes they demonstrate such amazing abilities and skills that it causes amazement and the question - how can they know this? When born, up to five years old, sometimes older, children retain an invisible connection with the astral world. This may manifest itself to one degree or another. Mostly children have the ability to see and hear ghosts, spirits, angels, brownies, that is, everything that adults do not see.

Does the child see and communicate with the other world?

Parents of babies are often faced with the fact that the baby can look with interest at a certain place in the room, smile there and tell something. Older children, who can already speak, point to an empty place in the house and inform their parents that “there is an uncle” or “aunt”. What is this? Does the child see and communicate with the other world?

Naturally, such behavior of children alarms fathers and mothers, and they are worried - is everything okay with their baby? But this happens to almost all children.

According to the beliefs of the ancient Slavs, the brownie, the invisible spirit of the dwelling, lives side by side with people. If he likes the owners, then he will help look after the children, soothe and entertain them. Our ancestors believed that the brownie could fly, and was usually on the ceiling or under the threshold. This looks quite plausible, given that most often young children "talk" to something that is on the ceiling, and laugh when they look there. Based on this, parents explain this behavior of the child precisely by the fact that children see and hear ghosts, spirits, angels, brownies and other representatives of the other world.

Elderly people in such cases say that it is angels who entertain children, but angels are also spirits, and it turns out that children still see creatures from subtle world, unlike adults who have lost this ability.

The child communicates with an invisible friend. How to be?

Children as young as two years old often make invisible friends and talk to them. These "invisibles" can tell the kids their name, often quite unusual, and even play with them. Naturally, parents are trying to figure out who this invisible friend with whom their child is communicating.

When asked by adults about what such a “friend” looks like, children can describe adults, little boys or girls, but sometimes invisible friends take the form of an animal, often not quite ordinary.

Experts believe that such a situation occurs when the child is deprived of attention, but "invisibles" appear in friends and very sociable and contact children, and the children do not hide their mysterious friends, but on the contrary, they try to show them to their parents and introduce them to them.

Not always only such creatures behave harmlessly - it happens that babies cry, due to the fact that some unfriendly entities frighten them. And now mothers often face such a situation when the child starts crying, and nothing can calm him down, in such cases, and in our enlightened time, the baby is referred to the healer, and with the help of conspiracies and special rituals children fall asleep peacefully.

My Baby Sees Ghosts: Stories from Excited Moms

- ... Tell me, is it not dangerous, not a disease? The young woman is visibly agitated, although she tries to hide her anxiety. - My three-year-old son sometimes seems to see something that is beyond the normal gaze. The child seems to see a ghost. Example? OK then. Once we arrived at the dacha, and suddenly, pointing with his finger just above the trees, he said loudly: “Mom, there is an aunt ...”

“Where is there no one?” - I'm surprised.

- No, aunt - over there ... - and with his eyes, with a pen, he accompanies something in the sky, descending behind the fence. Then he broke loose, ran to the gate to look, but I didn’t let him go further: “It seemed to you ...” However, I think that the kid didn’t come up with anything: he doesn’t know how. He even said that she was kind, all in white ... And then, a few weeks later, when he was with us at the dacha, he invariably recalled: “Where is aunt?” So I am tormented: what did my son see anyway?

A similar situation was told by Valentina Ivanovna Kolesnichenko, a resident of a small farm near the village of Bykovo, whom we met thanks to the unusual psychic abilities of her six-year-old daughter.

Twice Yulenka told me about some woman in the sky, described her, only wondered: “Why is she bald?” I have no doubt that my daughter really sees something, but I myself think, is it not in a helmet, like astronauts, that alien arrives? At the same time, neither I nor other children noticed anything like that in the sky. It can be seen that Yulia's vision allows us to see something hidden from us ...

Are children in contact with the other world? Is it possible to study the phenomenon?

Recent studies by scientists have found that babies can perceive much more frequencies, and they hear sounds that adults cannot. Therefore, when a child “gurgles” and laughs at something, it is quite possible that he communicates with creatures invisible to us.

Be that as it may, but sooner or later it will be necessary to study these phenomena. It must be assumed that they will not only bring us completely unexpected and unusual knowledge, but also enrich us with a new vision of the world.

Small children up to about 7-8 years old see what is beyond the control of adults: brownies, elves, ghosts, the souls of dead people, and other inhabitants of parallel worlds. Few doubt this. Over the years, this ability is lost.

The death of a child always causes horror and shock, because children should not die! No wonder there are so many stories about the ghosts of children whose lives were tragically cut short. They seem to be stuck between the real and other worlds, unable to leave the place of their death.

Montebello Castle in Switzerland is famous for the legend of the ghost of a girl whose name was Gwendalina. She lived in the 14th century and was the daughter of the owner of the castle. Gwendalina's trouble was that she was born an albino. She had marble-white skin, completely white hair, eyelashes, eyebrows and transparent eyes.

In that era, albinos were declared demonic offspring and could even be burned at the stake. Therefore, the parents tried to dye their daughter's hair. But there were no permanent dyes at that time, and in order to change the color of the hair, tinctures of some herbs were used. As a result, the girl's hair only acquired a blue tint. And the baby was nicknamed Azzurina, which meant "blue girl."

The owners of the castle took care of their daughter, fearing that she would be in the hands of the Inquisition. They didn’t let her go anywhere, she was constantly guarded by servants ...

But one day Azzurina was playing with her leather ball, and it rolled down the stairs to the basement. The girl ran after him. The servants heard a bang, then a child's cry, and all was quiet. When they went down to the basement, neither the girl nor the ball was found there.

There is a version that Gwendalina broke her neck by falling down the steep steps, and the servants, fearing punishment for negligence, hid the body and made up a story about the disappearance. According to another version, the girl's father himself gave the order to kill the child, fearing that he would be declared "devil's accomplice" and sent to the stake ...

Be that as it may, every five years (Azzurina was exactly that much at the time of her disappearance), a ball slapping on stone steps and a child's voice are heard in the castle. Sometimes weeping and screams of horror are heard.

Frozen nephew

In Sweden, not far from Stockholm, stands Haringe Castle, built in the 11th century. Now it houses a hotel. It is said that several ghosts live there, and one of them is a little boy Axel Horn. He, according to legend, froze under the walls of the castle - a cruel aunt drove him out into the cold and did not let him back.

Once, one of the hotel guests saw a boy next to her bed. In the darkness, she mistook him for her nephew and offered to lie down in her bed to warm up. She was surprised that the boy's body was cold as ice. The next morning, the lady discovered that the "nephew" had disappeared, and the real relative was sleeping peacefully in his bed.

The girl from Tarragona

In the Spanish city of Tarragona stands the Castellarnau mansion, the building of which now belongs to the local history museum. For some time the house was empty, and it was then that rumors spread that the sounds of the piano could be heard from the building at night, and the shadow of a girl appeared at the boarded-up window or on the balcony.

They say the girl's name was Karolina, she was born at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries in the family of a wealthy businessman, who at that time owned a mansion. Since childhood, Carolina suffered from a mental disorder, and her parents were forced to keep her locked up. The girl spent whole days in her room, playing the piano, and only for a short time she was let out for a walk in the lower courtyard with the colonnade.

Carolina died at 16. In her former room, a portrait of a girl hangs over the piano, and at night she comes out of the frame, sits down at the piano and begins to play. Museum guards say that sometimes they really hear music at night.

Little Princes from the Tower

The gloomy corridors of this gloomy British fortress prison are rumored to be sometimes haunted by the ghosts of children: the young Prince Edward V (1470-1483) and his brother Duke Richard of York (1473-1483) walk through the corridors, dressed in white and holding hands.

Although everyone is accustomed to blaming King Richard III for the death of princes (thanks to Shakespeare for popularizing this version of the disappearance of children), there is no direct evidence that it was Richard who gave the order to kill the princes.

Yes, and the remains of the princes, allegedly discovered under the stairs of the White Tower of the Tower, and now buried in Westminster Abbey, the experts failed to fully identify, according to an examination conducted in 1933, these are the bones of teenagers 12-15 years old, but even the sex of the deceased can be accurately determined scientists have failed.

Schoolboy who fell off the roof

In Goshen, New York, USA, there is an abandoned building that used to house a Catholic school. In 1964, an accident occurred here: one of the students, nine-year-old Paul Ramos, fell to his death, falling from the roof of one of the educational buildings.

Many years later, they tried to investigate this tragic death and found out that someone had to push the child so that the body fell so far from the building. But finding the killer after so many years, of course, was unrealistic. Meanwhile, Paul Ramos reminds of himself with a ghostly silhouette that appears at night in the windows of the former school.

Crying in the theater

In the theater "Rialto Squea", located in Joliet (USA, Illinois), children's voices are regularly heard at night. There is a legend that once a little boy was hit by a car in front of the theater building.

And since then, his spirit has settled here. Theater staff even nicknamed him Kevin. Psychics who recently arrived here managed to make contact with the phantom. "Ghostbusters" really heard the voices of children. There was no one else in the room but them.

Oddly enough, something similar is happening in the building of Vladimir Nazarov's Moscow theater, which was built for the 1980 Olympics and where the basements are equipped as a bomb shelter.

For seven years now, children's cries have been heard from the theater cellars. The first time they heard it, the guards thought it was a little girl who was lost. Having examined the basement, they did not find anyone, and the crying continued ...

Usually mysterious sounds are heard after midnight and continue for several hours. They are heard by those who at this time are behind the stage or in the dressing rooms. But as soon as someone goes down to the basement, everything subsides.

Psychics were invited to the theater, who suggested that it was the soul of a child crying, who lived in a village located on the site of the current theater, and died a violent death.

Mysterious "friends"

The Philadelphia Press, in its issue of June 15, 1889, published amazing story. It was about an old New York mansion near Stuyvesant Square Park. After the house had been vacant for several years, it was acquired by a certain family, consisting of a husband, wife and little daughter.

While the house was being set up, the parents allowed the girl to play on the mezzanine, where there was a fireplace. When the rooms were finally furnished and the baby was allowed to play in the nursery, she continued to run upstairs. In response to parental inquiries, the girl admitted that she was playing on the mezzanine with a little boy.

The grown-ups carefully searched the room upstairs, but did not find a single nook there where anyone could hide. The daughter claimed that her friend appeared from behind the mantelpiece.

The parents said that the girl was lying and threatened to punish her. However, the child continued to insist on his own. The girl even described the appearance of her friend, including a jacket with copper buttons.

An investigation by the head of the family showed that an English family named Cowdery with three children used to live in the mansion. One of the boys was mentally retarded from birth. By official version, he drowned, falling into the East River, and the family moved after that.

Being a man of no timidness, the captain decided to break the wall behind the fireplace and found there the mummified body of a child dressed in a dark blue jacket with four rows of copper buttons. The little boy died from a blow to the back of the head. The owner of the house did not report to the police, he simply buried the remains of the murdered man, after which he found another place for the family.

A similar story happened in 2002, also in the USA. The Adams family moved into a new home. Soon, the youngest son, Robert, began to tell his parents that he had become friends with a boy named Sean. However, when he was offered to invite Sean to visit, Robert replied that he was unlikely to accept the invitation.

The adults began to make inquiries, but it turned out that none of the neighbors had heard of any Sean, and after some time the eldest daughter of the Adams accidentally found out that five years ago a car accident happened near their house, in which seven-year-old Sean Farry died .

Parents tried to forbid their son to communicate with a suspicious friend, but Robert began to refuse food, and they were forced to back down.

After a couple of years, Robert stopped talking about Sean: apparently, he was simply not interested in spending time with a seven-year-old kid. After all, a ghost cannot grow.

The death of a child always causes horror and shock, because children should not die! No wonder there are so many stories about the ghosts of children whose lives were tragically cut short. They seem to be stuck between the real and other worlds, unable to leave the place of their death.
