23 Parents Describe Their Kids’ Creepy Imaginary Friends (That Are Probably Actually Demons)
Chrissy Stockton

1. He Doesn’t Have a Face
My son from the age of three always tells me about the “creeper man” who lives in my mom and dads bedroom. He brings it up after he visits them. I made the mistake once of asking what he looks like. My son said “Oh, he doesn’t have a face.”

2. “You’ll Get Used to Killing”
A parent of one of my students told us in a meeting that she was concerned because her son (7 years old) talked about an invisible ghost who would talk to him and play with him in his room. He said the ghost was called The Captain and was an old white guy with a beard. The kid would tell his mom that The Captain told him when he grows up his job will be to kill people, and The Captain would tell him who needed to be killed. The kid would cry and say he doesn’t want to kill when he grows up, but The Captain tells him he doesn’t have a choice and he’ll get used to killing after a while.

3. Little Girl Ghost
When my daughter was three she had an imaginary friend named Kelly who lived in her closet. Kelly sat in a little rocking chair while she slept, played with her, etc. Typical imaginary friend shit. Anyway, fast forward two years later, the wife and I are watching the new Amityville (the one with Ryan Renolds) and our daughter walks out right when dead girl goes all black eyed. Far from being disturbed she said “That looks like Kelly.” “Kelly who?” we say “You know the dead girl that lived in my closet.”

I posted this before sorting the title - sorry! Some creepy stories from the mouths of babes. Number 5 is my fave ;)

Wow! I don't quite know what to say about that lot! I used to have an imaginary friend called "Dragon" when I was quite small. He (or it) was fairly innocuous though. I could try and offer all sorts of opinion and analysis on those stories but surely this one's for PeniG (proud children's writer)!
 
My daughter had an imaginary friend she described as a little girl with no face. She lived in our (built-in brick) shed and was called .... Shedi.

After we moved house, my daughter never "saw" her again (but still remembers her over 10 years later). It would be interesting to know if any subsequent families living in that house had any experience of Shedi!

11. "My daughter used to tell me about a man who came into her room every night and put the sign of the cross on her forehead. I thought it was just a dream. Then my mother-in-law sent over some family photos. My daughter looked right at the picture of my husband’s father (who has been dead for 16 years) and said ‘That’s the man who comes into my room at night!’ My husband later told me his father would always do the sign of the cross on his forehead when he was young."

Sounds like a demon to me :confused:
 
Yes, I believe this is possible. I have read, and studied numerous such cases. Not just of demons, but Spirits of deceased people, pets, even plants. Children are new to our world. They have brought with them astral auras. This makes them much more susceptible to experiencing the Veil. It is a lot like an adult after taking long astral travelling trips. When he or she returns, that person often carries with them mass amounts of astral energy.
 
If there's one thing that comes out of those stories, it's that we needn't worry too much about the prophesies of imaginary friends, whether they be in the minds of the children, ghosts or demons. A few of those mentioned on that site made prophecies that appeared not to come true.
 
I remember when FT ran an article on this subject and it was excellent. Most of these beings seemed pretty benign I seemed to remember.
 
In this lecture "having imaginary friends longer than the other kids" is mentioned in relation to schizophrenia. I found that weird. I always thought imaginary friends were an innocent phenomenon (good lecture BTW):
 
Have tidied up the original post.

A number of these sound as if the children have linked objects and characters from their playrooms with events on the news.

One of my kids had an imaginary friend he only ever saw in the graveyard we walked through every day as a shortcut to his primary school. I think he must have been around 5 or 6. I forget her name now, but it was a little girl. And one day I asked him what she looked like. "She's in a wheelchair" he said. FFS. We'd pass the little area of kiddie graves every day, as it was right by the path...



ETA: Not strictly relevant, but a year or two later, a new gravestone appeared. I recognised the names on it - an entire family of 5 kids who'd died in a house fire (accident) in our area - had been all over local news. I'd been waiting a while for my second son to get a place at a special school. Places were like gold dust and not likely to come up for some time... (He was preschool age). One of the children in the house fire had a disability and it turned out she went to the school we were hoping to get Son 2 into. Her death meant - he got a place at that school. Grim as feck. I try not to think about it. Never connected one thing with the other and I have no idea what her disability was - probably not in a wheelchair - just a coincidence. I used to take son 2 with me on that school run, and for a brief time, he was walking past the grave of the child whose school place he 'inherited'.

Should add: Son 1 had the imaginary friend for some time but had stopped seeing her before this little girl died.
