Does your child have an imaginary friend? Maybe you had an imaginary friend yourself when you were a child. Psychologists will tell you that there are several reasons why a young one may concoct an imaginary friend. Sometimes a young child just needs to have a special friend. Their imagination is very vivid and can seem almost real to them. Sometimes they create an imaginary friend to keep them company and share their thoughts, someone who will always listen to them. In most cases psychologists are probably correct in their explanations. Could it be possible that some children's imaginary friends may be more than just products of their ownimagination?

She may even bring them to the dinner table.Now, lets say that you become concerned enough by some of the statements that your child makes about her friend that you decide to ask questions around the neighborhood. One of the neighbors informs you that a child by that name did live in that very house but that she had died years ago. When the circumstances surrounding her death is explained to you, you realize that your daughter had real information from somewhere about what had occurred.As amazing as it my seem to many of us there can be no doubt that something much more than imagination was at play here.

When Carol Copeland started renovating her World War II-era Stockton home a year ago, things started to happen that were unexplainable, she said.

When she heard the sound of footsteps and her name being called aloud, she brushed it off. But when she watched as a shot glass collection flew off a shelf in her living room, she said, there was no denying it anymore. “I always said I...Shadow people, poltergeists or demons ?

Suddenly, the thermal gauge, held in the palm of one member's hand, registers a steady temperature drop: from 67, to 54, then 42 -- and finally to 34 degrees. "It's colder here," the member reports. Just then, the lights on the electromagnetic field detector begin flashing, drawing the group deeper into the grounds. The gr...Have scientists found proof of ghosts ?
