My granddaughter was 2 and told us her grandmother had tickled her feet while she was in bed . I said I didn’t tickle your feet. She pointed at my mother’s picture who died before she was born. Not you Gaga she said, that grandmother!
My oldest had a raised fire truck bed. He went thru a phase where he was sure there was an alligator under his bed and wouldn't get into it to go to bed. I made "alligator spray" - green food coloring, water and a little vanilla. We would go in with him watching spray around the perimeter of the bed and then the alligator was gone and he would go to bed and sleep! Eventually the alligator disappeared and the spray was no longer needed
There was a point my 3 yr old told me Michael Jackson was in her room. It was about a month after he died, we didn't really watch television and we hadn't discussed him that we knew of. It was extra scary and honestly I would prefer she saw the night night angel.
That must have been scary for you. About two weeks ago, I turned the corner to go in my home office after I had eaten lunch. Ready to get busy with work, I saw my Dad sitting in my office chair. It was brief and then he was gone. It was very cool but it was my Dad not a red eyed ghost 🙂. I quickly logged in my computer. He had not done a single bit of my work 😂. Actually my Dad never touched a computer in his life so I wasn’t surprised he did not finish any of my projects. He died in 1996. I still miss him. 💙
I love ghost stories so popped “ghost” into the substack search function. I was not disappointed! So glad I found your piece which made me laugh out loud AND gave me full-body chills. What a combination! You’re a fantastic writer ✨
My daughter was 2 when my grandma passed. After the funeral I was getting her ready for bed, she looked out the window; smiled, waved and said bye bye. I asked her who she was waving at and she told me Great Grandma. She said Great Grandma was outside her window. Her bedroom was on the 2nd story and looked out into a field, so there's no way she saw someone else and mistaken it for my grandma. Grandma, loved all her grandbabies and I have no doubt she stopped by on her way to heaven for one last goodbye.
My son is 9 years old & just literally just now told me he seeing two red eyed children in my basement. So here I am searching up any information. He proceeded to make me go down to his brothers room to get his controller. I know the Dad and two sons accidentally rolled their vehicle just about 2 hundred yards from getting home. We moved in shortly after they had passed. We’ve been here since 2014 and today marks the day we moved in 10 years ago. In my culture we use sweet grass and sage to bless our house. I will be trying that first to send these children out.

Occam's Razor: The simplest explanation is usually the best. When you hear hoofbeats in Texas, think horses before zebras.
Imaginary Friends are common in children. This is much simpler than trying to explain the existence of ghosts, don't you think?
I’d like to think so, but there’s the whole red eyed crying thing. Not super friendly haha. (I’m still undecided on where I stand, to be honest.)
Sometimes I wondered if my daughter's imaginary friend was ghost. How many 4 year olds have an imaginary friend who "walks with a stick".
You must be neat at parties. Fun is fun, man. Let it ride.
