Could I have been haunted when I was a child?

Question

My mother recently told me about how when I was little, I always claimed that there was a woman in our bathroom. This is from back when I was too young to remember it now, but she said I did it all the time. I would refuse to go in that particular bathroom. I would always say, "No, momma that woman's in there." Also, my mother told me about how, after my grandfather died, I would always claim that he was in my closet.. I don't remember this either. However, I do remember, as a child, often thinking that I heard my mother calling my name, but she never did. Is there such thing as children being haunted but not remembering it in their adulthood?

Answer 1

you were not haunted . it is a special thing that small children have .they can see spirits and ghosts and they can somehow see them so this is why you said that there was a woman in your bathroom and that your grandmother was in your closet.are these things happening noew to you too? if no it wasd just a period of a paranormal time in your life cuz i know it because it happened to me too.                                 laura

Answer 2

yes, quite possible that you were haunted mostchildren see things and when we loose our innosence is when we stop seing , but i too saw things when i was little and am just getting the memories now, im 45, and  am seeing paranormal things once again, but this time others in my house are experienceing it too

Answer 3

Um well that's normal as a chi;d.  as a child you are more open to the psychic world.  and manifestation is also normal.the mind of a child is very stron, strong enought o create such a being as a ghost

Answer 4

yes, the tradgedy of being dead is that we have to spend eternity in the closets of young children.

More likely you had a lack of understanding of what death was, so you thought your grandpa was in your closet, because something someone said got twisted in the mind of a child. The woman in the bathroom was probably just made up because you didnt want to go into the bathroom.

I remember as a child watching a show called zoom, and at the end of the opening theme the people would fall down, go to sleep and disappear. For a long time as a child, I thought people disappeared and traveled in thier sleep. This was verified by the fact that I sometimes would fall asleep in the living room and wake up in my bed, or I would fall asleep in the car and wake up somewhere completely different. I didnt know my parents were actually picking me up while I was sleeping and moving me around.

What I am saying is that children lack a real understanding of the mechanics of the universe and get strange ideas in thier head, such as

.... "My uncle said that my grandfather went somewhere safe, he must be hiding in the closet, because thats where I go to feel safe"....

Answer 5

thats creepy dude

Answer 6

You have repressed those particular memories, that is why you cannot remember them.  You repressed them because you were scared, and this was your way to escape.

Answer 7

Children are more easily able to see, feel, and hear spirits.

Most people when they reach late teens no longer have this ability.  Some keep it all their lives.  I am one of the adults that still have that gift.  I can feel and sometimes hear spirits.  

Most of the time, I have to use a digital voice recorder to hear them  now.  But I can always feel if they are around.  

Children are not haunted, just more open.

Answer 8

I belief so. Children are more likely to belief in this sort of thing, and if you have a shut mind, then you have a shut thrid eye. It is completly possible that you were once able to see ghosts, were as now you don't believe in them so can't. or your mind is too close midned, even if you do believe.

Hope this helps!

Answer 9

that sounds like a blessing.

Answer 10

Children do tend to be more susceptible to hearing and seeing spirits. It's something to do with their big imaginations and that they haven't been told things like this don't exist, that sort of thing. They're just like little sponges.

Not remembering it... depends on how young you were, but the mind works in mysterious ways. Could be you've just moved on past it.

Answer 11

Some true believers will tell you that all children are sensitive to otherwordly influences.  In my opinion it makes more sense that children, unhindered by such mundane concerns as reality, are more likely to create an imaginary world around them.  It only takes about 10 minutes with a 5 year old to notice that.

Answer 12

OHH yes!

There is..It's really a blessing..Not a haunting.

Answer 13

I believe that I was. A lot of things happened to me when I was a child. ..in the house we grew up in. I found out just this year that before my parents bought the house..a young man had committed suicide in it. I was never told about it. The way I found out is from asking one of my sisters if anything spooky had ever happened to her in the house...was she ever afraid of it...or in it..or of the closets. She said she never was...but then told me about the man. I just don't understand why no one ever mentioned it. I guess , in a way, I'm glad they didn't...but still..maybe I would have better understood what was happening to me. But, if I had known..they would have said I was imagining it because of knowing about the man.Maybe it wasn't him.....but ..maybe it was!

Answer 14

Children and animals are more sensitive to seeing things that we over look my nephew did this as well wake up screaming that the bad man was in his room you probably blocked the memories out as they were too traumatic for you as a child

Answer 15

Kids are sometimes more receptive to paranormal phenomena than adults, for what you say the spirits of some relatives may had stood in your house for a while to watch over you, I think they just did it for a while and crossed to the other side.

Answer 16

get hypnotized so you can remember them

Answer 17

children are more susceptible to these kinds of things.
