Not sure if there are any other threads relating to this topic but it's something I'm fascinated by.
Everyone seems to know a child who has imaginary friends - insists on a place being set for them at dinner etc. However, the detail in some of these friends seems amazing. A friend of mine who is a very "normal" guy (whatever that might be) remembers having 2 such friends called "Bode" & "Kink". He can even recall seeing them sitting on the edge of the bath whilst his mother bathed him. He tells me one wore a top hat (which a child of 2 would be pretty unfamiliar with in the mid - 60's) and the other a flamboyant waistcoat. They both vanished just as his younger sister was born when he was about 2-3 years old.
I've heard various theories about these being spirit companions or guardian angels etc. The more I think about it though, the more it unnerves me, especially the detail that my friend can recall in his "friends". Are they imaginary or are they something that comes into the world with a child as companions/ protectors?
Anyone else have any examples or theories about it?
