I started crying so badly when my baby brought me a picture of my grandmother "nanoo" and I asked him who that was and he said "my nanoo". Not once have I ever told him about his nanoo. She passed away 1 month before he was born. He hasn't even really started talking yet and it took me by surprise. Now he is saying nannie, nanoo, mam-maw, (all deceased grand mothers). That is not even all.....I was in his room w/him and one of his toys went off by itself. I didn't think anything of it at first, then it went off 2 more times and you have to press it hard to get it to talk. Then I was outside at night taking the dogs out and my baby had already went to bed. The bathroom light next to his room turned on then off. It wasn't my hubby cause he was in Iraq. I know she has to be talking to him cause how would he have known her nickname and known what she looked like. Plus he will sit up and his bed and talk to himself. I have even addressed this issue on the Sylvia Brown website. Call me a quack, but I truelly believe now.

Children are much more open to such things because they havent been taught that it is kooky yet. I know that my youngest daughter was and still is at 17 in touch with her uncle and my mom. I refused to let anyone tell her it wasn't ok... Just let your baby talk about it.. make sure he knows that it is ok and you are interested. Simply support his clarity.

Nitro chic....you sure do know how to give advice! U r like my second mommy! Thanks for your input!

Thanks...:) I think this was my calling....cant pay the bills giving advice though..LOL

I for one compleatly belive in "talking" thats what i call it... i am 17 years old and i still talk to "ghosts" i know its illegal to do some of the things i do i.e. enter abandoned homes. but i do it all the time and its almost like the memories them selves are the "ghost" and they can "possess" you in a way rather they just kind of show you things from their life they make you feel. its quite extraordinary. but its true never tell your son that its wrong. because its not. its great. theres so many things that they want to say and do and its always a great and interesting experience. im sorry if im not helping, but i am truely interested.

love,

i know that really young kids have a real sense of things that older kids and adults don't know about. for instance: one of my friends who is a girl is deathly allergic to peanut butter. she has to carry a shot in her backpack just in case she comes in touch or smell of it. anyway, her mom told her than when he was a baby, if there was peanuts or peanut butter in the room, she would start crying. babies and young kids know when there's something wrong. just my input, i know nothing significant about children, i'm a 15 yr. old guy.

I totally believe you. The day my mom died my grandaughter was in her car seat in the car with her mom and dad driving to my house, when she looked up in the air and said "Bye Bye Grandma Shirley" and she started waving. Now everyone knows a 2 yr old does not comprehend death. So i guess mom was dropping by on her way" out" to say goodbye to her favorite great granddaughter. They had a very special connection in life ,and even at 4yrs ,my granddaughter still talks about her.

I was talking to my mum the other day and she told me about my sister seeing my grandad (died when my mum was 15) My sister was being brest fed from my mum and she stopped and started crying. Then she looked up into the corner of the room. stoped crying and started to smile at something. My mum believes that my sister saw her grandad and i also believe this.

Chelsea lover....me too...they say children are very tuned in to the other side:angel:

Oh yeah I believe it.I was about 16 maybe 17 when my uncle who died when I was 7 came to my room.I did not see anything but I could just sense like someone was there with me.Then I heard his voice! I started to panic a bit he was a good uncle but it just felt freaky.He simply said "Beth this is your uncle tommy dont be scared hunny." Well that was the end of it because I couldnt even respond lol.I just sat there on my bed for a few minutes thinking WOW that was something.I hadnt even thought of my uncle in years I sure was after that.
I agree I wouldnt make your son feel like its wrong or anything.These things amaze me its very interesting.

that is so cool,of course no one wants ya to belive or let your children talk about what they see,it might upset the scientists.They think they know everything.my daughter once told me about an old farmer that came to her at age 4,she wasn't even in school then,and she wasn't one for reading books.
about things going off,my star war figure went off talking and it has no batteries in it.I believe was a sign for me not to have back surgery last year,I don't know,no one else knew of my collection except a close friend who passed ,who always cared about me.Just amazing,still talks once in awhile even in the dark.I'm not afraid,I wish more would come,be such a pleasure.

I know you are nota quaxk. My mom passed feb 2006, my 3 yearold has seen her 3 times since....within 3 months of her passing, nothing since. SO I know she has been back and I beleive my daughter has seen her, she has never pretended to see people who werent there before.......your really lucky, you have proof that we dont cease to exist after we die.....we are so lucky, it is reassuring to know that when we die we contimue onin another form......

speaking of things going off ,i have a music box that is broken. It will not play music no matter what i do. when my brother died 18 yrs ago i was so bereft,and one day I was lying on my bed crying and begging him to let me know that where ever he was now that he was okay. Well all of a sudden my music box started playing and i felt. an overwhelming sense of joy. i knew it was him.It was very peacefull. Fast forward to 2 yrs ago when my mother died. (on the exact same day as my brother ) In all that time the music box hadn't played once. Once again on a very bad day as i was getting ready for bed my music box played. This time it went on and on untill i finally said "okay mom ,i know it's you".( she was the type who thought if a little was good ,a lot was better LOL!) so i knew it was her. It played 2 more times after that day ,on days i was really down. It hasn't played since . I will alwys cherish what happened to me ,and i hope this will be a comfort for some of you that yes,they do survive in a way we can not know, ,and they are around us.

I have no idea what my 2 year old son can see when it comes to this, but I can tell you that he walks EXACTLY the way my grandmother did. She died right after I got married in 2003 and I got pregnant with my son 6 months later. My grandmother used to have this distinct way of walking where she would put her hands behind her back and kind of hold them together. She did this when she was looking at something too. Well my son does the same EXACT thing. Even when he is watching TV, just standing there, he will put his hands behind his back and hold them. :angel: My mom and my aunt have both commented on this and it makes them (and me too sometimes) cry when they see him do that. I know that she knows him! I had many of dreams about them two playing together and just spending time together.

Then just recently, he started saying a nickname that was given to my husband's grandfather. No one had ever said this name before and out of the blue...it comes out! The 1st time we heard it, my husband and I looked at each other and said WTH???

Looks like he is letting his grandparents come through!! Loud and clear!!

I find this fascinating. My Mom passed when my son was 20 months old. We lived about 75 miles from her, but he had seen his grandmother at least once a month since he was born. During the days immediately after her death, he was standing in his crib while I busied myself putting things away and preparing him for bed at night. He asked me why the lady was crying. I asked "what lady?" He pointed to the corner of the room and said "that lady." I tried to get him to say more, but he lost interest. I want to think that it was my mom, but I wish she had not been crying.

absolutely! my daughter passed away 9years ago. when my oldest had her son 2 years later we knew he talked and played with her alot. he would sit in his crib at about a year old and talk until noon time. always laughing. my daughter would smell her sister at times and different things in her house and mine have been moved. it is a wonderful thing to know they watch us and that they play with the babies. i also agree that since shildren are so innocent that their minds are much more open than ours.:wave:

Hi I previously posted at suzi191. But had to reregister cause the healthboard wouldnt recognize my password........but in reference to your baby mentioning the lady crying in the corner......I can totaly relate.....since my mom passed in feb 06, we have had a few occurances where we are certain she is the cause......my 3 yearold has seen her 4 times....even talked to her once.....I smeel her scents.......but anyway....I have a mentally disabled girl who was very close to my mother,,,,she tiold me one morning that nana had come to see her that night before...she told me in explicit detail about it..and was so articulate in her speeach...not her usualy way.....and as she realted the details she told me that nana was very happy at first...but before she left she got upset and began crying....and my daughter was very upset and worried about her nana,.....besdies the fact that she wanted me to explain how you could see somebody who had died...she thought once you died...you didnt see them or they didnt come anymore......I tried my best to explain.....and it really bothered me too that she would be sad and cry...it upset me to think she would be unhappy and there would be nothing I could do to put it right......but...I am sure now...that the reason she was sad and cried...was because she knew she could not be here with us and my daughter....not the way she use to...and that made her heart sick.......but I believe she is happy, healthy and more whole than she has ever been.....my daugheter is 25 years old by the way.....
