The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I recently came across a documentary that was talking about children with gifts of the paranormal.

The were having children of young age speaking intereviewed about what they saw or see. What they heard and sense.
So do you think there is such children if so why would they be better at sensing things? Age? background? Heritage? Genes?

What is your view and opinion? your idea and do you know any children gifted? How do they cop with it? How do their parents deal and face it?

The children's friends?Classmate or cousins sisters/brothers?

I think children tend to be better at sensing things because their minds are more open and they trust their instincts more. Adults have a tendency to second-guess themselves a lot of the time, and try to dismiss things that could be paranormal as having a rational explanation. Children don't try to rationalise everything, they just accept what they see.

I think that the younger the child, the less corrupted they are and therefore the better they are able to perceive paranormal activities.

As small children, we are usually untainted by societies views of anything paranormal, supernatural, etc.. those words as well as their definitions are usually not even in our vocabulary at that point, either, for that matter. I think that there is indeed a sixth sense, if you will, that we as humans have - perhaps it's a left over genetic trait from our primate ancestry.

In some cultures, these traits are not extinguished as they so often are in most western cultures, and in fact, are believed to be a part of reality. Although I cannot speak for all Native Tribes by any means, I can certainly say that within my tribe, these types of traits are praised, and even more so, promoted to be used and practiced so that they don't go away - i.e. medicine men and women, etc..

I do think we all possess such abilities, however, as impressionable as most young children are, when told what they see, hear, and feel isn't real by the adults in their lives, they themselves eventually lose any such ability. Or maybe lose isn't the right word. Perhaps these abilities/traits are more squelched into our subconscious. With that idea in mind, maybe that is why so many have such strong dreams of interaction with deceased loved ones, future events, etc..

Very interesting topic, that is for sure. :)

I think children can have a gift because their minds are more clearer then adults about things

I agree with Maledicta. Most children have paranormal minds. As we grow older we are conditioned by adults that what we saw was imaginary.

I have a friend who is in my RL coven whos daughter has powers and also can see and talk to spirits. If u did not know her u would never know this. As far as her parents go they are 100% behind her

Children are able to see and hear things that most adults do not because of their innocence(for lack of better words). They trust mosre on their instincts and rely on themselves more as a child. As adults I think sometimes we lose sight of what we knew as a child and tend to forget what we saw or heard as a child.

I would agree with everyone that has posted.

Many parents dismiss their children's ability. they are just imaginery friends.

I have been told that there are children that can actually move objects. As a water glass.

Since more and more has become opened with the Paranormal of seeing those in the Spirit World. People becoming more acceptive of the gift. I think their will be many more children who will grow to learn to use their ability.

Back in the years many people kept their ability a secret in fear of one finding them insane and into a mental institution they would go.

I know it sucks to hear from the skeptic but here's my issue. Children by definition are 'work in progress' humans. They haven't grown into their bodies and haven't developed all of their complex tissues and neurons and they're senses of perception are still developing too.

It seems at least plausible that a child still has a the ability to perceive things incorrectly...possibly even to the point of seeing things that aren't there or hearing things that their underdeveloped brains conceive as something else. Why would children who are underdeveloped in every other way, have a more intense perception of something like the 'invisible world' or the paranormal?

The one thing children have in spades over adults in a sense of imagination. This stems from not having learned enough to know what should and shouldn't be. Now I agree that we all long for a bit of that sense of wonder and the ability to imagine fantastical solutions to mundane happenings but I don't think it means that they are actually seeing more or understanding more. They're just more imaginative.

FelixFelix there is not bad or good way to view it. So I do not think skeptic sucks, they just view differently things, events, people and perceptions of others.

Children are less skeptic they will be more aware and open. The will respond to paranormal or non paranormal with a more candid and innocent ways then older people.

They would less tended to toss aside anything that is not "normal"

My Case scenario, You are in another part of the house and your child is in the other side, you have no cameras in the house..

you hear a crash.. you go into the room and the child is casually playing age 6-7 you ask.. "what happenened" or something else to that affect. The child replies.. "It flew off the table.. All By its self.."

Your Reply?

My first response would be something along the lines of 'yea right'.

But I know that my daughter is one of these 'gifted children' she talks to swaro cactuses. Im not sure how to spell it so please bare with me.

And I hear that there is a Native american tribe in Arizona where she lives, this tribe believes that swaro cactuses are people.

So I believe that my daughter is talking to people who have passed.

This does not freak me out or anything, I have the same gifts. Or I did while I was growing up.

I believe that children are more open & accepting of the unknown. They are not afraid to feel something they don't understand. After all they are working their way to learning and understanding the world. In some ways I believe that we are all more aware as children. As we get older I believe that we forget things that we understood or saw as kids.

Children are free spirits so to speak and then have a higher sense of abilities then we do as adults as children are the innocents they just can sense things easier then we can. The indigo kids are a perfect example of gifted children.

Indigo children refers to a New Age belief that some children, especially those born after the late 1970s, represent a higher state of human evolution. The term itself is a reference to the belief that such children have an indigo colored aura.[1] Beliefs concerning the exact nature of Indigo children vary, with some believing that they have paranormal abilities such as the ability to read minds, and others that they are distinguished from non-Indigo children merely by more conventional traits such as increased empathy and creativity.

the above is taken from the definition from Wiki

Children are naturally and perfectly open minded.
The older they get, the more closed minded they get.

One of my children acts just like my ex now.
I consider muh ex to be a succubus.
Therefore I have a paranormal child me thinks :)

Children are more open to things and can see things we can't or hear things or whatever cause their new to everything so we're used to the sounds and sights and whatever

Alright, what is the difference between children and adults? To me it is that children know much fewer limitations as we do, when they are in their cognitive development all is open. Perhaps it is their inability to fully understand limitations that leaves their minds open.

If I were the parent of such a child I would keep it very low key.

Children need to be just that, not made a focus of fun etc.

Time enough when the child is grown for these things to be dealt with.

They could inherit it from the family but I think it is because children are more open minded as we grow older we tend to shut off parts of our minds that as children are open!

i read this ting years ago about children basicaly having a third eye and as they grow older the eye slowly shuts i think it has alot with childrens minds r open but when they grow up with the constant no thats not true or dont be silly thats not real there minds r not as open anymore

I think education has a lot to answer for too. I don't know if this is the case in all schools but in mine, and a lot that my friends went to, any discussion of the paranormal was instantly shot down. We were basically taught not to believe. So as children grow up they gradually get brainwashed into being closed-minded and/pr skeptical.

I feel that children are open doors to activity because their minds are pure and they still have an imagination
and won't question much

children i think is more likely to have a link to paranormal things due to the fact life hasn't wiped them out and there minds are open wide. Children soak up things like a sponge and as adult not so much.

I've never had a personal experience with a psychic child, or a child with psychic gifts of any sort- but I think children are more likely to have gifts of that sort. The younger, the more likely, I think. They haven't had as much time to develop that sense of what can happen and what can't. I think it really leaves the mind open to think that anything can happen, therefore they accept it and don't fight with it.

i havent either

About the indigo children..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigo_children

I am cautious as to this claim.

My shaman friend said that the reason kids sense things better than adults at times, is because they are closer to the "source".

Children are always more susceptible to the paranormal world because they are unfettered by knowledge, logic, and the views of the world...

I have forgoten one big thing about children, by nature they are more curious then adult.

More tend to go forward if they see or ear something, as adult we are more cautious more aware that accidents or things , bad things, can happen.

So children will go to look or stop to listen they think and see the world as a big adventure to discover therefore they will go to explore it.

As adult we will more try to see logic or wait at a safe distance.

Children are very capable of making adults think their make believe is real.. they are lead to believe, by adults that Santa is real.. then the easter bunny.. then the tooth fairy.. well some kids will make adults believe things as well.. sometimes that gets out of hand.. especially if as pointed out the child gets attention or feels special because of what they "perform'.

This could fall under the line of The Indigo Children"

What about when a childs imagination runs away from them.. and the instead of learning to be factual they tell stories or out right make things up.. example a clumsy or impulsive child blames things on ghost.. you are right a child picks up on thing one thing a child can pick up on and be creative with is an adilts beliefs, they know how to exploite the beliefs of others at summer camp.. are you people so wanting to think your children special because they can tell a good story then fine.. but pause and think, how you may be helping a child repress development.. when I hear of a person that grew up in a commune being encouraged, and even threatened to spout Gibberish after having seizures (the" guru" said it was a challeling) so that the "guru" could inturpite the gibberish.. That is child neglect.. don't push a childs fantasy into their reality.. Damn It the children you raise with .. mystic impressed minds are good for nothing in the future.. I know a lady here kids where told they have a gift.. they never learned to use.. well great because now one of them is bipolar.. so I really vcannot stand that mother.. her daughters could care less for her as well.

I don't believe such children exist -- insofar as I don't believe anyone has any paranormal or extra-sensory gifts.

Children haven't been changed... My son has the ablity. He is 5 and has had it since he was old enough to talk. I allow him to tell me about it and we go from there. He isn't scared of it. Most children are changed by the adults in the enviorment. I am not that type of parent.. As a child i had many things happen and my parents let it happen how i wanted it to happen and i'm happy they did. I have the same attitude. Children are innocent.

What is the purpose of your child having a "gift"?

That's it innocence that's why they'd get gifted and then lose it. Ok certain children have a very fertile fantasy but not all are fantasies.

I had paranormal expiriences as a child and had them again when I was a teen, and even some of my friends did.

I never told my parents because I knew they wouldn't believe me or else take me to a psychiatrist, considering they are closed minded.

What an insult.. you say people that don't believe are closed minded ? What an insult.. I could easily say that all people that believe are delusional.. some are.. but really are you so much better some how then "unenlightened" people? No you are not, and I don't care for enlightment if it makes me think I am somhow better then some one else..


people that have "open minds" sure do cram it full of clutter.

Interpitating a vivid imagination to a child as gifts.. great way to make another mental midget. Limit your child that way.. wait for the result.

Ok easy there Dabbler. Some people have certain "gifts" if that's how they want to define it. Some people have opened mental doors to being able to feel or see certain things that others cannot. Sure it's ok if you don't want to believe but it's not ok to tell someone that they aren't special or that something about them can NOT possibly exist. That's really nobodies right to say. Why people are able to do or feel or see certain things maybe can't be explained to them at this point in time , but that doesn't mean they WON'T ever be! I believe there's a neccessity in people trying to be down to earth and sensible, but not in an insulting fashion.

Never said anything about what people believe.. that is up to them.. if they want to accept the possibility that the things they imagine are real then fine.. but I have issue with people thinking that makes them more open minded then any one else. Air of gifted, so what do youer talents do.. have you =changed the world with your gift..or is it something you just cling to to feel special about.. open mind .. is a mind that catches lint.
Development of talent and skill is so neglected by self called gifted people. creativity goes out the door as well. So I am urgent.. insulting? only to those that think they are more enlightened. I will request a demenstration of said gift.. can you blame me? I mean you could really change the world with such a thing as you claim to have. Bring proof.

So i assume you're not the type that is "keep silent and abide". If everyone in the world went around using their gifts...people would turn them into a freak show and probably demand more of them then they are ready to handle. Maybe some are still trying to figure things out for themselves and maybe they aren't open and trust people enough to share said gift/s.

Then stick to the entertainment bracket. Parlor tricks are best among friends and family.. teaching a child such talent is one thing but implying they are gifted.. or connected somehow to the after life.. are you sure you want to put that into a childs head.. I mean have you no idea the sideeffects of such cluttered minds. A guillible child you will make.

Children do have talent just because you cannot see it develop doesn't mean it is not there, you do not need to impression them with such far out implications as them being connected to a mystic being or source.. how about teaching them to create stories, nurture a talent that is creative. Not something based on new Age Rhetoric..

What's funny is that some things are NOT taught to children, they are just naturally there Dabbler. Nobody taught me to see certain things or feel what i have felt and I don't need anothers approval when I already have enough proof to back up things I have lived with as a child AND as an adult. My daughter has been able to do things on her own and never have i taught her how to do such things. I let things happen naturally speaking and I don't even have to encourage her. If the "gifts" are already there without anyone or anything's influence, then that's enough proof to me to believe in it esp after witnessing what I have.

Children can hear and see things that adults can not
because they are still pure and will belive in things
Us as "grown ups" wont

It is very interesting

So does that make her more enlightened then a child who just imagines.. with out the complex belief attachment? is your childs gift any help in there development? What help is that? do you think it wise to teach your child that they are different, and should be accepted as different. do you think the child will mention their gift to others? then do you think that those children should act like children do .. and ridicule your child.. i do imagine that that will and already has happened, children sense when another child thinks them selves better then them. So your childs social skills will also suffer . Teaching a child to be creative is one thing.. oral Traditions are likely to be genetic to some children. How they use that talent is what makes them talented story tellers, they need to learn hoe to interact with that talent not feel they are apart from others.

My child has never went around telling others of what she's done but even if she has, she still has friends that enjoy listening to HER moment. It's her moment that makes it special no matter who's there to try and deminish the value of it. How dare people try and take moments like that away from others just because of another's jealousy or at least that's how it's starting to seem. If people don't like it or accept it, tough.

You seem to think that you are more "enlightened" as you so often like to say, dabbler, because of your personal beliefs, which is hypocritical when you so often accuse others of this same mentality when they demonstrate opposite beliefs to yours.

I respect that you disbelieve. However, you need to respect others beliefs as well. Many people believe, myself included, that children are often more open to psychic and/or paranormal phenomena than adults. It is not necessary for you to become rude or insulting because of it. She was mentioning her parents as being close-minded. Perhaps there are other reasons for her statement beyond this discussion, and that this is just one of the reasons she feels this particular way about her parents.

You shouldn't take things so personally, much less become so indignant about people who believe otherwise than yourself.

Also, as a side note, it isn't child abuse, or to the detriment of children to promote such abilities in a child. Of course, there are always extremes when it can be considered such, however, generally speaking, it isn't. Throughout this country are many Native Americans who believe deeply in mysticism and when these abilities are seen in their child, they promote and help instruct their children in these gifts. These people are not lacking creativity, or mental incapabilities.

Do a little research perhaps, and investigate more, and try some "critical thinking" before making such quick and uninformed judgments. One or two cases that you may personally know about is not always the norm, nor a measurment to make such vast assumptions and judgements. And if you choose to believe otherwise, at least have the sense to be respectful in your skepticism.

jealous .. ? if others cannot accept that tough.. that is I am better.. Interpite mockery anyway you want but you are raising a cracked pot.

what pompousness.

Again dabbler, who do you think YOU are telling people there's something wrong with them and how they are raising their children? I am very proud of my children I yes i will take offense to your rudeness. It's absolutely obsurd and very immature of you.

I am not saying anything about how you raise your child.. I am speaking of how you insult others that don't buy your imagined beliefs.

Well apparently you're the one being insulting or have you not paid much attention to your own posts Dabbler?

Yes I have.. see my point has been made twice.. one person calling her parents closed minded. you calling people jealous and that if they coose not to believe what you imagine to be real.. then Quote "tough" you accpect every one to believe like you. you prop your beliefs up as a personal thing you get offended by those that don't believe. I said .. one could say that you are delusional, not you are delusional..

She did not say that she felt people were jealous of people who believe a particular way. She was talking about the seeming jealousy of anothers attention for having a moment.

Perhaps if you read a little bit more clearly you could see this?

Man..

great believe imagined things as real, I know talent when I see it and a claim when I see one as well. It is clear that people that imagine themselves gifted, think themselves enlightened.. well good for them, and good for you. Accept that others will likely accept other less sensational possibilities. And by all means do something with your gift besides wear it as a medal. Why not change the world.. and show up all us damn skeptics.

Simply because someone believes otherwise, such as myself, DOES NOT ALWAYS equate a feeling of superiority or enlightmenet over another, as you have often demonstrated repeatedly on threads where you feel skeptical.

Be a skeptic, that is fine. But at least have the sense, and maturity to approach it in a more respectful manner, perhaps?

This reminds me of that really old British horror film "Village of the Damned". lol. Good flick check it out =)

This thread has been good . When someone made such a suprior sounding statement I am likely to reply. Just as you did to perceived insults.. I knew you would reply.. am I psychic? No I just know you are predictable. So please be creative and teach your children to be create as well. believe what you want.. heck I know people that make money off of you. All I address is that you are no better then anybody else.. until you and your child interact with this planet to change it. then your gift is a sentimental crutch. People don't believe in God. Does that make them ignorant or closed minded.. to clearly state.. some people have bekieved like you do.. and they got out bfore they got in over their head. They may even accept less sensational core beliefs, as imaginable, but the way believers carry on.. fanatics in anything need to back off.

In my opinion is a mixture of age (not conditioned) and family history. These things tend to run in families even though it may skip a few generations.

From my experience the kids usually adapt to their gifts rather easily as long as they understand whats going on.

It's usually the parents who have a hard time understanding and in many cases the parents will try to stifle their child's abilities. There must be a duel approach of education (for both parents and child) and mentoring, to hep the child learn how to better control and even expand their abilities.

What is expanding abilities? What are Moments? What are applications for a childs gift? I mean If I am to believe this then I want answers to questions that others will askk me. Will you teach your child to tell others children when asked about there gift to reply" Well you just don't understand it." So now you tell your child they are different.. what next?

So does that gift make your child enlightened?

Your idea that simply because someone believes in paranomal phenoma that they are easy targets for hoaxsters, scams, etc.. is misconcieved and stereotyping. Just as you feel that people who DO believe such think they are superior.

Yes, I responded. But I don't always respond to your comments as you predictably always respond to people who feel differently than you. I wouldn't be able to remain as respectful if I did.

And I know I am creative. Simply because I have particular beliefs does not discredit or diminish my creativity. I could be insulted, but your opinion means very little to me. I just dislike seeing people bullied for their beliefs.

Man, dabbler, I'd hate to see what you would have done or how you would have treated Galileo for his opposing belief of geocentricism and his advocacy of heliocentrism despite what the world believed at the time. His theory at the time had no decisive proof, so people thought he was utterly wrong. Interesting how that worked out.

What I accept as imagination, you believe.. that is my closing statement.

in my opinion children are more open to paranormal things. like my 9 yr old daughter. she has always seen, heared,felt things since she was 3 yrs old and i sit with her and i explain to her how to deal with it and if she gets scared to ask the spirit or spirits to go away and leave her alone. but if she feels safe around the spirit then i tell her to ask it questions and see why the spirit comes to her. i back her 100% with her gift. i don't enforce her to do this and never have and never will. she likes the gift very well.

Heres a part of an article about the show i would imagine triggered your fad interest in child paranormal activity

The fact is that if a kid thinks they can hear voices or sense things, it could easily just be their pretending, a ploy for attention or a coping mechanism. As children develop socially and emotionally, it’s not uncommon for them to go through phases or use coping mechanisms or their imagination as an escape or to try to find an identity. If a child continues to believe this kind of thing over the long term and into their teens, then it might very well be time to consider having them see a professional mental health care provider. One thing is for certain though, sticking them in front of a camera and having mom and dad sign a contract for their “psychic” powers to be investigated is not going to help. The show actually does have a psychologist consulting the children - although she seems to be just as much a complete wacky, stating that she has works with “The spiritual experiences of children.”

Not only does this show take a big steamy dump in the minds of viewers, but it’s exploiting children and enforcing fantasies to a dangerous level!

I knew it you are hyped up on a new reality show.. so now your children are gifted as well.. interesting phenomena.. the same TV shows that give you such rhetorical information on ghost, yet lacks any application other then entertaining imaginations with make believe being showed as real..

I have seen shows on gifted children... I myself do not personally know any. My grandmother used to say that most children have the ability to see things that adults do not. Just for the simple fact that they are pure at heart .

dabbler,
i'm not trying to be mean but my child does watch that show you just said and i have not seen it either and when my daughter does get in her teenage years and she does have the ability to see,hear or feel paranormal things then i will still back her 100% and she shouldn't go to a mental heath care provider,just because you think my daughter is crazy and if you think that way then i guess your calling me crazy too cause i'm 28 yrs old and i still hear and see paranormal things and i don't appreciate you calling my daughter crazy cause you don't know anything about paranormal abilities. are you phycologist? i don't think so. so before you judge someone i think you should know what your talking about.

does not watch sorry

I think that children have a better chance of seeing things b/c they have a bigger and browder(sp?) imagination of things that have a crazyer/fantasy like feel.

http://http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=1332961

or this case. All I ask of you is to show me one case of the existence of what you claim.

i think children have a better sense of the paranormal because they aren't as corrupted by the concept of normalcy as adults or even teens

My own children have the gifts of knowing things without knowing why they know it. It is my personal belief that children have this ability simply because their little minds are always open to any possibility, they have not yet been taught that "its just your imagination" yet therefore they have not shut down that part of their brain yet that allows them to use their gifts. as they get older, they shut down that part of their brain because they are told so much that its just their imagination that they stop using it and then they forget how to. thats just my opinion though

Then people tell them that they are sopposed to hear voices that that is why they are special... ? can I repeat that.. They tell their children that to hear dis embodied voices makes them special...? The voice in my head.. mine.. tells me to be suspect of such claims.

uummm i dont think thats quite what i said but , ok. if the voices tell you to be suspect about it, then you should probably listen to them dabbler. lol

Ya know I just wanna say thanks to those that are being more supportive and it's nice to see that there's others on here that CAN related to this topic--minus Dabbler--.
For some reason he doesn't seem to understand that not everyone teaches their children to believe a certain way, that some things just happen naturally and not everything is a parlor trick and not everybody views themselves BETTER than anybody else. If i had to prove my own, or my kids abilities to someone like him, I'd rather stay silent.

I think it is something that all children have and are told that it is their imaginations by adults who are closed minded about such things as the paranormal. My daughter was only 7 months old when my dad died and when she was about a year old she was in her room giggling and doing baby talk. When I went into the room she was looking up and still talking away I asked who are you talking to she put her hand out and said papa. We have also seen things move around her when she says papa is here.

I never claimed that I am better than anyone else and they weren't fantasies.

A premonition dream is a fantasy?

6th sense is a fantasy?

For me they aren't for you dabbler they are.

I even have 6th sense as an adult and it is not a fantasy neither do I believe I am better than anyone else or illude myself that I can be a super hero.

If I had children and they were gifted I would try to know more and see if it is really a gift or a fantasy.

Anyway how about children who claim to see people they've never met before and the parents show them pictures of decieved relatives and it gets known it is the same person the children have seen?

Anyway I am not delusial all I have expirienced was real, I don't even drink alcohol nor do drugs, so I couldn't be affected by anything either, my opinion will remain the same even if I had the whole world against me.

Now if anyone wants to disbelief me they can do it as much as they want, but I don't tell lies, I have no reason to do so. I don't want neither attention nor get money.

And just because I believe in the paranormal it doesn't mean that I believe everything that people feed me, I am not a fool. In fact, when I was a child I didn't believe in many things that children beleived, even though I was taught to beleive in. I was suspicious since I was a child. I was also skeptic on many topics until certain events happened in my life and I had to change my mind. Now I believe in many things that could be possible and probable but it doesn't mean I'd believe everything.

Also not everything can be proven.

How can I prove I got my paranomal expiriences and 6th sense, and mostly from the internet?

For the people that don't know me, I don't exist, would that mean I don't exist, or simply that they don't have proofs of my existance?

Know me or not still I'd exist.

I'm not sure if children are more opened mined to the paranormal. Isn't it something you're born with?
I would think if you have the capability then it's something thats with you from birth.
Maybe as we grow up and mature some people tend to block it out as it is seen by most as a mental disorder.

Something else I've thought about too.....a gift. Someone or something gives you a gift. What one chooses to do with it , is totally up to the person it was given to. It is, afterall, a personal gift.
Not all gifts we are given, whether it's a toy, something given to us by someone we love etc was meant to be shared with others unless that person wishes to. It shouldn't be a forced decision. That's like someone saying "So you got a gift. Share it with me now or i won't be your friend" type of attitude. One should just simply respect that person's decision even if ya don't agree.

Exactly just because someone doesn't go on the tv and make their selves publicity to be proven it doesn't mean they're fake.

Whatever is in us,in our soul,is there from the day we are born.In ALL of us to one degree or another.Not any special gifts for one or two selected few,but these are gifts given to all mankind.So ALL children are special people, when it comes to that.
When we are kids,its fresh and still untamed.As we grow,things will either suppress,or they will evolve to become stronger,hopefully reaching its peak sometime during our lifetime.Like the old ass wizards and witch pix we always see? Thank about that.
Now as far as prooving that its real.
Some want solid proof.They want to be the ones to proof it.Ok,fair enough,let them.

Some,experience it all their lives,to a point where no proof is needed.

Somewhat like a martial artist if you will.I know that when I first started training,I always wanted to screw around..proove to myself,and to others,that I could kikk some serious ass.But a funny thing happened along the way..the better I got? the more quiet I got.I can undo a person in a matter of seconds,but it isnt important that anyone knows this,because I do.And so do those who surround me in daily life.Either way you look at it,things will proove themselve one way or another..it might take time and consistancy,but it eventually will.

And to be honest? Science has prooved more than not that these things in fact do exsist..Its all simply a normal part of nature..not "paranormal"
Unusual perhaps,but not friggin supernatural.

Yeah exactly.

Also I see paranormal gifts as any other talent.

Some can draw, others can write, others have 6th sense, others can see spirits, etc... to me they are equal, and there is no need to be proven to the whole world.

Would a really good artist mean that he is not good simply because his art isn't appriciated and proven by the whole world?

I see these gifts on the same level, no one is superior for me, whatever they have or are.

Yeah good point Oceanne maybe the word paranormal is what people tend to concentrate on.

It would be all normal, but it is still called paranormal because it is still very unaccepted.

"Some can draw, others can write, others have 6th sense, others can see spirits, etc... to me they are equal, and there is no need to be proven to the whole world."
Absoloutely DNG.

Back in the days of old,gun powder was seen as paranormal too.And if they would have seen some of the cars or computers we have now? We would have been called aliens or magick..

Opinions will eventually change ..they always do.

I know this might sound a little crazy but its what happened here at home.


My 12 year came me the other night asking me if I knew who the woman was that watches him at night. I told him yes that she was his great grandmother and that he can talk with her if he wishes. She is here at this time watching over my father who is in my house at this time. The point is here is that spirits of old walk the lands and children are able to see them through their minds eye and heart. I can't take that away from my sons as it was taken from me when I was a kid. I encourage my children to ask questions and to look at the spirits that they are seeing as if they were looking at me or their father. Unless the spirit scares them then they are told to tell the spirit to leave.

my one year old talks to my father and my nana and papa all the time.

I can ask him,
Isaac where's papa. and he'll point to the corner. and say hi.

They always comes around and he smiles and laughs at them. it's neat to know that they have a relationship even if my father and grandparents arent alive.
I truly believe in children being able to see family memebrs and stuff, I don't think they can see anything bad or that can scare them tho.

I thinkchildren are so pure that they can see, hear, and sense another presence.. When they get older, they either apply it, or stop using that gift..

Then why are you using phrases like.. people without open minds just cannot believe.. I was a believer.. I was very devote.. guess what I have to show for it.. nothing.. zip.. I lost friends over it. I neglected the others I could have related to because my.. opened mind had no room for the beliefs of others.. so stop claiming that you are open minded.. and that others are ignorant.. and yes there have been reference to that.. you fool noone.. If a child is lead to believe they are born with a gift.. they will suffer.. they may fail to relate with their peers.. that is a risk you take.. you are not exceptional until you set yourself above others with dedication and study to develop a skill gifted or not.

Calling a person closed minded is insulting.. not discussing your faith but mocking those who choose not to believe as you do.. so you are also ignorant and unenlightened... nothing new to fanatics..

that claim such divine like essence why not tell your child how to be creative and learn study skills, instead of emerging them in a metaphysic fantasy world.. how do you hope to better their interaction with the real world? How likely are they to be led to believe something more fringe?

I think children are open gateways so that spirits can pass threw or cause things to happen

Can we get past the insults please? This is just rediculous simply because everyone doesnt see eye to eye on this thing.Is it so damn important to have the last dig in when others are actually trying to think about the question?
C'mon.

I understand both sides of the fence here, and one is not wrong over the other when kept in context.When it does get weird is when mothers start to get to the point of what is known as a stage mother..then in any form it is messed up.I know moms who are obbsessed with their kids IQs etc...and drive and drive..

That is NEVER healthy,no matter how you look at it.

I was told by a European woman that I used to know that all children are born with enhanced "abilites" - that adults teach them to ignore or dismiss this.
The "invisable" freinds that they have may very well be someone that is on the "other side".
Like in the "Sixth Sense" - I use that only as an example. Most children do not see the trama that is depected in the film. Some children are very sensitive though and do see things -
Just a thought

When a human is born, their ENTIRE brain is active. Acting like a sponge, absorbing everything around them as best they can in a n attempt to grow and learn.

These synaptic bursts fire off in every corner of the brain including the parts we, as adults, don't use. This includes using other senses, (esp, psychometry etc.) This also makes them VERY susceptible to outside influence as they are taking everything in and can't filter anything.

Ever try crying in front of an infant and NOT have the baby start crying?

Once we hit puberty however, our brains settle, as we've been TOLD by those around us what is right and wrong, real and fictional. It is the ultimate case of mind over matter. We're told not to see them because they're not there so we stop seeing them.

Like Imaginary Friends. Once the brain has settled, the firing synapses within are localized to the parts of the brain we're using. Not, say, the left frontal lobe, which is where most if not all psionic aptitude comes from.

They are having on the sci fi channel kids that can talk to the dead.. Like ghost hunters but with kids.. My goodness i really think that is total bunk. I think it is a stupid idea for a show at the least.

Yet that is not enough for the fanatic fringe they are now laying a foundation to have grant money spent on hybrid babies.. that is right. since the indigo child fad/craze wore through they are out for third party investigation of alien hybrids.. so now that mother whos daughter was said to be impregnated by an alien( her mothers drunk ex boyfriend, that she is covering and in denial about, all claims are investigated that means the motive of the claim) can get more leverage in her denial..

So are you ready to .. if you are a believer..? Let your child be interviewed and tested as a possible alien hybrid?

I think children can be more open to the paranormal. That may be in part because they are younger and have not yet been exposed to alot of negative opinions on the paranormal.
A friend of my saw vision from the time she was a small child. Her parents would tell her it was all in her mind and that the paranormal was the gateway to hell!!! She quickly learned not to say anything to them about visions.
Now she is grown up and she has found a group of friends who share her amazing ability. She talks to them about her visions and her feelings.

Well,in order to proove one way or another,thats the kindof thing they have to do...
