Could I have some help from folk please?

A child can also make up stories to scare his or her friend/siblings especially when playing. But it is also possible that they can see the ghost. The sensitivity in paranormal can start from childhood.

I worked in a high security building where the air was measured every few feet for heat signatures. (fire).
Everyone knows the building was haunted. Several have seen our ghost. I saw him once. I could hear him open our solid steel large fire door and when it closed it made a crash. This happened about three am, every night.
I would go and get on the computer and this guy had no heat signature. I could follow myself and see exactly where I had been.
No I wasn?t scared and he never ate my lunch, so I didn?t care. A male employee did die there in the mid 1950?s.
One of the girls saw our ghost and ran out of the building scared to death. Also this guy never left the building or it would of set off an alarm.
I don?t like those ghost programs on TV at all.

Did I say there weren't?

I once read that up until the age of 5, the human eye can see much more of the spectrum than we can (due to constant light exposure). This is why children stare up at people; their auras exhibit halos. I'm not sure how much of that is true, but if it is, it may apply here as well.

The boogyman wasn't invented by kids, it was invented by adults as a way of getting kids to do as they are told, ie "If you don't go to bed the boogyman will come and get you"

My niece thinks a sloth lives in our washer, so she wont use the bathroom with the door closed.
