Is it true that it is mostly children and older people who see ghosts? Why can't I see them anymore?

Question

What cultures/ kind of people believe that and why? When I was a child I use to see someone in my bedroom at our beach house in New Port, RI. I was never scared though. The girl I saw would just walk through the room and I could see her go down the stairs every night at the same time. If I was being haunted it was by a kind ghost because once I almost fell off the balcony, but then someone grabbed me and pulled back inside. When I looked behind me no one was there. The ghost seemed like she was protecting me. My brother said he use to see a girl outside my bedroom too. I use to see and feel other strange things like that randomly during my childhood.

I'm 18 now and I hadn't been to the house in two years. I just went back and I no longer see the ghost. Why? Is because I am older now? Will I be able to see ghosts again when I am old?

Also why do you think this ghost may have been protecting me or the bedroom?

Answer 1

Children offer A LOT of energy for spirits ghosts to grab onto. Children are the number way these spirits can come through and visit the living.

When I was a child I saw and heard our family dog Ginger after she was put down due to illness. I had put her favorite blanket in my closet ( I believe that I was about 9 yrs old ) just to have it near me. That night I was awoken to scratching and whining coming from the closet. I was to afraid at the time to get up and look inside my closet. So I laid  there listening to Ginger for a couple of hours before I finally drifted to sleep. This happened several times, for several days. But each time it happened after the first time I would get up and look in the closet. Always no Ginger. Just her blanket. One day when I awoke in the morning I could hear panting it was coming from the foot of my bed. When I looked I saw Ginger's tail walking back and forth and she was panting. I was so happy to see my beloved Ginger. Then she was gone. that day I asked my dad to burn her blanket because I figured that that's what she wanted. He burned her blanket that day. That night was so quiet and no seeing her either. I had a dream that night of Ginger running towards myself and my parents. She was coming from a very bright light. She was so healthy and happy and full of energy. Then she turned and headed back towards the light. We stood there and watched until she disappeared My parents both had that same dream. It was like Ginger was saying I'm okay. And I'm happy here and I love you. To this day, years later I still tear up when I'm talking about my wonderful Ginger. I know that I'll see her again one day.

I've also seen and heard other things but there's not enough room for me to keep writing about it. I still hear things and see things. I'll tell about this last thing though. My mom has recently taken up photography as a hobby. Anyway, she and my dad live kins a in the middle of nowhere in the woods. Almost every time she takes a picture there's something there that's not suppose to be there. They are spirits. They kind of tell a story. I think they are all from the 1800's or somewhere in there. There's a lot of babies and children. There's an Indian in full warrior clothing, horses, skeletons, and more. A lot of people have taken a look at these pictures and have seen the same things. It's becoming quite exciting to see what may be in the next pictures. She takes these pic in her backyard. They do not appear if she takes pic's some where else.

I believe that you don't see the little girl ghost anymore because she knows that your old enough to take care of yourself now. That you'll be safe. She did a wonderful job protecting you as a child.

I don't know if when you get older you'll see more ghosts again. I've never heard that ghosts come to the elderly as often as kids before. I've learned something new today if they do.

Answer 4

A child is innocent. and innocent eyes can see what others cannot.

Elderly people are closer to death, so it would make sense to see it.

She could have been looking for a companion.

you were still to young to really help her, that's usually why ghosts will appear, because they need help crossing over.

Your imagination has relaxed and you no longer have the ability to rapidly work your brain in such a way.

Try relaxing your eyes and making them shake violently, rapid eye movement when you're awake basically. I saw a woman in my room for a split second by doing that, but she wasn't really there =p
