My grandad died in 2005 before Hayden was born - i have 1 picture of him in my lounge with our wedding pics,on a high shelf- i have never spent any time telling Hayden who it is in the pic as he is so young - but i plan to tell him when he is old enough to listen (Grandad was an Raf war veteran).

I was just inspecting Hayds rash as it looks worse when he suddenly pointed up to the picture and exclaimed ' thats grandad Don, there he is' but before i realised he was pointing at the pic i thought he was just pointing over my shoulder!!!!! It amazes me how they know these things!!!!

Ooooh I'm not surprised that freaked you out Becs.
Did you turn around, half expecting to see your Grandad?

My Dad bought an old Route Master bus for Daniel when he was a baby and since my dad died I hav'nt let the children play with it( dont know why, just felt like it needed protecting)
Anyway I keep it in the drawer in Katelins wardrobe and as far as I knew, no one knew it was there.
Last week it was sitting on my coffee table when I got back from the school run.
All day I was thinking that it was a sign from my dad but was wracking my brains as to what.
When the boys got back from school, Aaron said " where's the bus I got out of Katelin's room? "

Not sure if I was relieved or dissapointed!!!!!!!!!!!!1

OOOh Becs, I bet your heart skipped a beat.

Charlotte has freaked me out a few times, not so much now but she used to wave and say hello to nobody ......started to wonder if she could see people I couldn't.

Must admit i did'nt want to turn around..Hayden has said on many occasion 'hello grandad' to nothing on the stairs!!! I rekon they can sense things..thats what imaginary friends are i swear!!!

Lucyanne - i would have thought the same about the bus, it's a shame that your son found it - i don't mind the things appearing tricks, its just the actual thought of seeing 'someone' that freaks me out!! lol

I do believe kids see things as they are more openminded and not sceptics(you no what i mean)

Omg..i laughed out loud to your replys to this..does anyone watch most haunted? I won't on my own..i'm a wimp too!!!

I'll tell you this now....

When we moved into this house i woke one night to find a small blonde boy looking at me - at first in my sleepy state i thought Hayden had got out of his room - then i remembered he couldn't even crawl!!!....aaarrgghhhh!!!!
Now don't take the mic but i saw him a few times after, it got to the point where i wouldn't go upstairs on my own or open my eyes if i was inexplicably woken in the night.. it was always just before Hayden woke up in the night, he had a laminate floor and at the time we had hot air heating which is crap and he used to get cold.
When we laid carpet in his room it made it warmer and had central heating put in and i haven't seen the boy since...now thats weird!! (and no i hadn't been drinking either)

Now the thought of seeing someone i knew in life absolutely scares the wotsits out of me...hence my reaction to 'Grandad'....

(yes my hubby thinks i'm complete nuts)

I have read that children are much more likely to see something than an adult. It is a bit spooky. i saw my grandmother a few times after she passed away. i think its a comfort. I think my previous home was haunted there was always a strange feeling when you went up the stairs, Or something would catch your eye in the doorway. oOoh im feeling a bit spooked now and terry's out at work too!!!

Same here i love most ahunted.
I forgot to tell you this.
Hows this for ya,my grandad died in jan 03,and in jan o4 on his 1st anniversary my mum said he came to her that night telling her i had some news and that i would need much help.
My mum came over that wk end and asked if i was pregnant,i said no as i wasn't but if i ever were she would be first to no.Then blow me in late march i found out i was pregnant and my conception time was around the time he died.I never really thought about it at the time but he knew.
We didn't tell people till i was 12wks which was about easter time.
How spooky is that.

My niece as a toddler played with her 'brother'. Her mum had a miscarriage prior to having her. Her mum dismissed it thinking it was an imaginary friend, when she was asked what was his name, she answered that he didnt have one. The miscarriage was real early so there was no name for the baby, she didnt know she was pregnant till it happened.
A clairvoyant confirmed that the 'brother' was her brother.

I also belive that my sister was with me in spirit all through my life till 19 years old. I was apparently old enough to look after my self, so she left me. I miss her actually. But I know she's not far away. I have two pictures of her in the house and they are both in the kids rooms. I want them to know of her, if she isnt already with them that is.

Emma that is spooky!! but also nice!!

Sally it must have been a comfort to you having your sister there, and she is probably watching over you and the kids still! I like to believe we are 'watched over' no matter how crazy some people think it sounds!

On the 'brother' thing with your niece-I had a miscarry years ago when a relationship ended - i knew and my Tutor at uni knew and that was it and i went to see a clairvoyant on a whim about 3 years later and she told me i had a 'son' on the other side and my rellies had named him 'David' that he was well and being 'looked after' i came out of there completely shell shocked and cried for hours!!! That started my interest in 'the other side'!!

I love these stories of ghosts, hauntings and weird things happening. I watch the repeats of Most Haunted at 11pm on Living is it(?) when I am waiting for Catalina to go to sleep after her evening feed session. I do find myself jumping at the slightest noise afterwards!

I haven't noticed Bon looking at anything that isn't there or anything like that but one of my cats does. We have a ghost cat in the house but he is very friendly and makes the odd appearance, but only to me and one of our cats it seems, hubby has never seen him. I'll just be aware that I am being followed and that a cat is about to run past me on the stairs, and then nothing appears in front of me, or I will hear a cat mew in greeting when I know mine are outside because I can see them.

One of my cats when I lived at my parents ran out of the house and appeared to hit something that wasn't there. He backed up and tried to go around 'it' all flattened on that side, but gave and up and ran like blazes in the opposite direction. No idea what he thought it was.
