I turned my bedside light on lol.
I'm very skeptical but I'm sure my SS saw his grandfather when he was 2 years old to about 3 1/2 when we moved. It started out with SS playing in the back room while I was cleaning the living room. I heard him talking and thought he was jabbering to the tv as I had a Tom and Jerry cartoon on for him. As I got closer, I could see that he was facing the corner away from the tv and sounded like he was answering questions and giggling. I asked him what he was doing and he said "talking to bob". I just thought imaginary friend no big deal.
A few weeks later, I put him down for his nap and I heard him talking again. He was looking at the wall about 6 ft up and sitting on the edge perched like he was really interested. I felt the hairs stand up on my arms and neck. I asked again who he was talking to and got "bob". I told him to tell bob that it was nap time. SS looked at the wall like someone was talking to him and then he looked at me and said that bob says hi to me but he would go so SS could nap. I just said thanks and rubbed my arms. I called DH about it as I was truly freaked out. Bob was DHs dad who died on his 8th birthday from a heart attack.
SS continued to talk to bob and Bob visited often. SS would go "ghost hunting" and we have no idea who gave him that suggestion. SS would tell DH that his daddy says hi and that he missed him. SS accurately picked bob out in a family picture of over a dozen people at DHs moms house. No one told him what he looked like.
One day we decided to see if it was real so when SS was talking to bob again, we asked him to find out what bobs favorite food was. SS turned and asked bob then responded with perogies. DH was relieved because he didn't think that was right. But when he asked his mom and told him what SS said, his mom went white and said that he loved perogies and always begged her to make them. SS had never eaten perogies and had trouble saying the word.
When SS was driving with my SIL, she asked him about bob. SS told him she should ask the questions straight to her daddy as he was sitting in the front passenger seat looking right at her.
CREEPY. But in a good way.
Now SS doesn't remember a thing about bob. But guess what LOs 2nd word was. BOB. Not even kidding. I recorded a video of it. It's starting again.
