Every night as we lie in bed my son (5 years) starts with,"Mama I am feeling scared". I'll ask him why and he will reply, "I can see a ghost right here next to me". At first i always thought that he was simply imagining things.I told him to say a small prayer and that will make the ghost go away. When this didn't help I told him to tell the ghost to "leave me alone" but now it's a daily routine. EVERY night as he relaxes in bed he comes up with this.Sometimes he wakes up crying in the night. Last night I talked to him more about it asking him what it looked like and what it did.He said that the ghosts were either black or white.They had hands, legs and faces but no features. then he felt that one of it was coming near him and he 'hit' it with his fist and said that the ghost has gone now.And he also said that he felt much better after hitting it.

I am wondering whether there are really any ghosts in this house as he says or is he just imagining it. We have been living in here for 4 years and never felt anything strange. Any insight will be helpful.

Hmm, interesting, so he can also touch the ghost? I don't know how to prove if you have ghosts, but maybe I'd be thinking to collect as much info as possible, and then you can cross reference or something. Like, first of all consul the boy and get him to realise that he's in no danger, then ask what happens if he talks to the ghost, or for descriptions etc. Then you can see how he might be able to handle this situation. Otherwise I'm at a loss

Funny you said black or white with no features, that is what I used to see when I was a little child.
I did fear them, but as long as my parents were close I felt ok.

Another thing I read once on this site was that someone came up with an idea to make a spray bottle full of water that you can tell your child it's ghost mist, and that it will scare them away.
The child's imagination will be powerful enough to make the spray effective.
If the ghosts are frightening him that might be the best thing to do, and that is to come up with a plan so he feels in control of the situation.
You said he feels better after hitting them, voilence is probably not something i'd encourage, try to offer an alternative solution.

Or you can talk him into not being afraid somehow.
Don't just tell him to tell the ghost to leave him alone, because that is not an assuring enough. He needs to KNOW they wont hurt him.

You can be sure it's NOT just imagination though.

Ha ha ha !!!!Spray bottle full of water!!
Really cool!!So that can scare off ghosts.Okay tonight the ghosts will play Holi with my kid!(Holi is an Indian festival of colours)
SunChild that was very helpful. I am also not the violence encouraging types but that night he did it by himself. I have even tried to assure him that they wont hurt him but he is just too scared. But I will try harder into making him believe it.
Thanks anyways.

Since you asked me Sunchild aout the progress I made, I will like to tell you that the spray bottle had no effects on the ghosts. He says that spray bottles are for cleaning fridge and tv! Then I thought of a little story that my mother used to tell me. There are two little angles who sit on our shoulders and note down everything that we do. The angel on the right shoulder writes all the good things and the one on the left all the bad things. So I told my son that the ghosts he sees have been sent by God to take the notes from his shoulder angels to god to see how good or bad he was through the day. Innitialy he didn't believe me but after a few days he started to believe and now he understands this also that they will not harm him.

One more thing that I had tried and succeeded to some extent was this. When he hurts himself and dosen't let me put ointment on it I tell him to count backwards from 100 to 0, so as he counts he imagines the pain also to reduce. I told him to do the same for his ghosts. For sometime it was helpfull but not always. The ghosts usually returned after he counted till 50.

But the angels story was really the best thing for him and has helped him with the problem.

The important thing is he is not afraid of them.
He's a bright kid though!

My son had several "invisible" friends when he was little. Some still visit him now that he is an adult. I know they were/are real because I could not only hear and sense them, like he did, but see them also. Once he asked them who they were and what they wanted, then they were not scary anymore. One was his brother in a past life,another a distant cousin and others were just curious because they realized he was a sensitive and could know when they were around. They have helped him to be safe, warning him of danger and so forth. Perhaps have your son ask them what they want and who are they, ask their name(names). Give him a tape recorder to use when he asks, and have him ask out loud. This way he will have another focus(the tape recorder instead of the "visitors", and you then can play the tape back and perhaps know how to help him when you know more about what he has experienced. If they do not seem to be good for him, then say out loud while holding his hand(preferably while he is sensing them) "if you care for my son's well being, we thank you! If not, then I banish you from our midst! ....Then have him say "so be it!". I have many discarnate friends. They are very good friends, who have helped me in many many ways. (I don't know for certain if any of what I have said here helps you out or not, but I think it can). Children are usually sensitives, but the ability become stunted or suppressd in most people as they grow up. Ever see the movie,The Sixth Sense?
My son said after seeing it,"Mom! That little kid is you!"
