I choose to believe that these events are God's way of reminding us to pray for, call or contact whomever we are thinking about. <BR/><BR/>I have have really been intentional about allowing Sam to talk freely, experience and live in HIS world - whatever that includes - I don't want to squelch something that could truly be a gift for him and for anyone that he may touch with his sensitive, intuitive spirit.<BR/><BR/>I do, however, have many "heebie jeebie" moments!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02620355198209520120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143256316671875324.post-64557920963205435612008-07-23T19:54:00.000-07:002008-07-23T19:54:00.000-07:00MH recently developed an imaginary dog named Arco ...MH recently developed an imaginary dog named Arco (full details - it's a he that is blue with pink stripes and he has a bed near her bedroom door, he likes to run around our yard and play with Mimi the imaginary cat), and an imaginary cat who is purple and does not have her own bed so Arco is kind enough to share his with her. The odd thing is, she had this nightmare MONTHS ago where she woke up telling us she didn't want the cats to be there. Now, before she goes into either bathroom, she asks us to make sure no cats will come in, and she makes other similar comments during different situations. Yet, she recently developed her invented cat friend and likes other cat things. Including her new fave movie, the Aristocat. Weird, no? I'm not very superstitious - I think our kids just have really vivid imaginations!Rach (Mommy Learns to Blog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08708199834481463557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143256316671875324.post-83029632075534569792008-07-23T09:09:00.000-07:002008-07-23T09:09:00.000-07:00I am not superstitious, other then I won't look at...I am not superstitious, other then I won't look at a mirror in the dark--ya know Bloody Mary?

(But, a lot of people in my immediate family have actually seen the spirits of family members that have already passed away. These are our "friendly ghosts." They're seriously helpful! One even got my father out of bed and led him down the hall to my brother's room, where my little bro had fallen asleep with a HUGE hard candy in his mouth, just waiting to choke on it!) <BR/><BR/>The other thing is...why do these friends come in fours! My other little bro had four "guys" that he took everywhere. They left one day when we moved across the state - he sent them to live with our Grandmother and watch out for her, and he never mentioned them again.LunaMoonbeamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09945247325982035591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143256316671875324.post-17931456490653095862008-07-22T18:30:00.000-07:002008-07-22T18:30:00.000-07:00Man, you are so getting yourself into trouble.

I've been researching a lot about ghosts and spirits lately and learned that sometimes when an apartment or house is being constructed on, that it unleashes the spirits within. Even if your neighbors have been doing construction on their house. It's possible. If I were you, I would try sometime to get Gabi and yourself alone in a room with the "sisters" and try to see if you can feel anything...different. I like your idea of playing nice with Gabi's new friends. Stay a little cautious. Even young kid spirits can be intimidating. I'll give you some more information on supernatural entities. I've learned quite a bit and can probably be of help if it goes any further than friendly playing. <BR/><BR/>Ernie<BR/><BR/>P.S. <BR/><BR/>If the "older sisters" really are spirits, than why would they want to play with Gabi if they are older than her? Just something that's been bugging me.

It creates quite an interesting belief system. Including a LOT of superstitions. <BR/><BR/>Right by my inlaws house, in a really nice neighborhood, someone strung a chicken up in a tree, with a jar of entrails below it and a bunch of notes held down by the jar. There was a bunch of other stuff, but my inlaws wouldn't let me go near it. They said if I got too close, the spell would transfer to me.
