Do you think children and animals can see things we can't?

Question

Some people believe that children and animals can see things adults can't, like spirits. Do you agree with this?

Answer 1

NO i dont think children can see things like spirits cause then you should remember seeing spirits when you were a child right? but animals ??????????? i dont think they can see things either but maybe sense things like spirits. i hope i helped

Answer 2

Animals yes, they are nocturnal, and yes for children, they can also hear high frequencies which adults cannot.  And they have 20/20 vision.

Answer 3

Yes i think kids and animals are more receptive to unknown things.

Answer 4

i think my poodle can so see things i cant see. because he deff. looks off into space at random times.

Answer 5

idk, i mean dogs can sense different things we can't so i don't see why they can't be able to see spirits.

Answer 6

Yes I do, I had a daughter who was very sickly and she used to giggle when she was in her room by herself.(Someone said it's angels making her laugh, I thought that was sweet)  She has since passed away and now my son seems to do the same thing, giggle for no apparent reason. Other times he will scream at the top of his lungs and cling to me once I've picked him up as if he never wants me to leave him alone again. This doesn't prove anything but it makes me wonder sometimes.

Answer 7

I wouldn't surpised

Answer 8

No. I believe animals may hear/see things that aren't noticed by us not because they don't exist but because we aren't as evolutionarily skilled to detect it. Children stare into space because they're...kids you know. They are learning about stuff.

Jack Lantern, that's retarded! Who was on shore with the Indians to verify this story? And I'm pretty sure Indians knew about ocean vessels.  It's interesting but a load of BS.

Answer 9

Well, yes.

Answer 10

Yes but then there are those few who's sense of it only grows as they get older........I pity the people who want that, it sucks.  But yes I do believe that which is why I love cats!

Answer 11

Its not evolution, or any type of evolving, it takes a matter of faith. It seems in scientific reasoning, children attend to have more faith, making things more possible. I believe in the dimensions. Theirs eleven dimensions in the world and we happen to see only four. It might be true that ANIMALS can see. But, my childhood was clear. I didn't see anything too interesting.

Answer 12

Yes, I believe that there are forms of spirits that children can see.  These types of spirits could be guardian angels that have come to protect other young children.  Most of these children grow up to become pyshicic and may posses certain abilities to adapt to the paranormal.  That is just a guess that I just thought to throw out there.

Answer 13

Children have the same visual capabilities as adults.  However, some animals have better vision under certain circumstances.  For example, cats have better vision in low light because the back of their retinas reflect light back through the retina, giving them more sensitivity in low light.  However, cats do not see in color, and they do not have as good of acuity as humans and birds.

Forget the spirits stuff.  It is just a distraction.

Answer 14

My cat does--he'll sit and stare at the wall or ceiling-when nothing's on it.....But that-I suspect-is because he's just trying to get me to look up.

Answer 15

Actually I really am interested in this question

When kids are really young they do not remember much they see like 4 years old you cannot remember everything you see

So therefore you could of seen things but your so young that you have no clue you saw them

Animals are said to have a sixth sense because they are usually seen barking at blanks spaces and they get scared when nothing is happening just like animals can predict weather they know hen bad weather is coming so I guess there sense of feeling is strong

Now I agree with the Animals

But not that positive on the children because, IF they did see something they would point

I'm guessing on children there senses run out at like age 4

Answer 16

I'm not sure about children seeing things we can't but I definitely believe animals can. My example, my dog and I are home (alone), I'm on the computer and she is lying at my feet. All of a sudden she picks her head up and starts to stare at the ceiling. Then she gets up and walks out the room still starring at the ceiling as if watching and following something. She then stops and stares at this 1 spot in the ceiling and turning her head like being inquisitive about something. I watched her the entire time and there was absolutely NOTHING in the ceiling that I could see that would make her be so intrigued. It kind of freaked me out.

Answer 17

Pets eyesights is slightly different then ours, they can see more than we can, they're eyes are better, sharper, so yes, they can see spirits.

Children, especially young children, are often able to see spirits when adults can't simply because they're more apt to believe it. They're minds are still young and adults have been taught that spirits don't exist. The mind is a very powerful tool.

Answer 18

Of course, that is why we are wondering about it.

Answer 19

I definitely believe that animals see spirits. One of my dogs growled and jumped back in a place I lived. She was VERY scared! We both were and ran out the door. We moved out pretty soon. Weird things had been happening there too.

And in my extended family...one of the boys saw a grandparent when he was little .

I'm not going to try to "prove" these things happened...but they did.

Answer 20

Absolutely! Children have not been trained yet to NOT see or ignore the other dimensions. Animals have no prejudice.

Answer 21

No i do not. Animals may be able to see things we're not fully aware of PERHAPS but they are NOT spirits of the dead or deamons or anything under that catagory, and children most definately can't, why would something that hasn't been around as long know more about the world than something that has, would you go to the rainforest and know more than your guid? No lol. And why would this supream being just forget it? I mean the baby spent a day sucking his toes he know NOTHING lol

Fair question though :)

Answer 22

For sure, i know that for a fact....

Answer 23

yeah i do i have seen an angel their skin is luke warm and their voices are smooth and soothing even though it scared me half to death when it came to me. Oh and i am a kid .oh yeah my cat spazes out a bunch i bet she sees spirits. you should read "This Present Darkness " its by frank periti (i think i spelled his name wrong)

Answer 24

I do. My cat definitely can see things. She stares up into one corner of my room, for hours. There is nothing there that I can see.

I think children can see things adults can't see because they are more open to most things. Adults have been taught that "seeing things" means you're crazy. Kids are just kids. They're not as judgmental as adults.

Answer 25

I am sure that they can.

Answer 26

most children are closely connected to the "other side" and can see,  talk and play with spirits.  That's what people usually refer to the "imaginary playmate".  The only reason we stop this is because society says it's wrong.

the parents will not believe the child or a child will be made fun of ... then eventually the child shuts himself off to this gift.

Of all the animals, I think cats can definitely see things that we cannot.

Answer 27

i wouldnt be suprised.

Answer 28

Yes, I do agree.

Answer 29

When Columbus was near shore, the Indians couldn't see the ships, only the wake they were making. One Indian did see them and once he pointed this out, the other Indians saw them too. This just goes to show if we see something so strange (ships are ordinary to us but the Indians had never seen one), our mind blocks it.

Answer 30

I do kind of. Don't ask me to offer proof of why i do, just had some freaky experiences that I couldn't explain. So I guess I lean toward yes but I'm not 100% convinced.

Answer 31

Yes they are more open to them. They don't know that your not supposed to see them.
