My daughter informed me that she thinks my 2 year old grand daughter sees ghost. She says the little one wakes in the middle of the night yelling for someone or something to get away. When she plays she says she looks off into space and tells someone or something that its mine like a spoon she will say my spoon. Now my daughter is really into orb photography and watching shows like ghost hunters I think maybe she has spooked herself. Who is the crazy one here Me, My daughter, or my grand daughter?
I think your daughter has shifted or projected in psychological terms, her beliefs on the little one.
A course in child raring may help.
I wouldn't call any of you crazy because it's possible that spirits can visit people. Since children are so impressionable (Hopefully I spelled that right) they're going to soak up television like a Sham-wow.
I would think it is very possible that the child is seeing something 'unseen', because of what my children have told me about seeing. About a year ago, my 4yo kept telling me about 'dragons' in his room. They walked like men and carried swards, but were scaly. Every time we went to a new place, he would inspect the building for more of these dragons. Eventually, he quite seeing them.
That's pretty creepy, kinda makes the hair on my neck stand up! Was he scared to be in his room? My grand daughter turned 2 in December and still wakes up most every night and most of these nights she screams out.
Unless your daughter feels that these "spirits" are a danger to your granddaughter, I wouldn't worry about it. Children and animals, because of their innocence and purity, are much more likely to see, hear, or feel a presence unbeknown to adults.
Also, it is likely that your daughter has been allowing your granddaughter to watch shows like "Ghost Hunters" with her. Your granddaughter may be highly impressionable and mimicking the behavior seen on television.
Young children between 2 an 5 often have imaginary friends. That is a direction I would explore rather than assume it might be super natural.

Will you let your daughter pretend she is a princess?I have recently read several articles in magazines about whether or not to allow little girls to play princess, with the fear they will grow up to only be shallow, beauty is skin deep, prince charming seekers. Any thoughts about this?

A bit of a lengthy article by a Harvard psychiatrist in regard to Trump's recent speech before the Jamboree of Boy and Cub Scouts. Hopefully you will find it interesting as well as revealing. I was proud to be a scout once, and I am embarrassed by the President's lack of decorum on this...

If you were to cross Pee Wee Herman with Forrest Gump, you would probably get Harland Williams. You might not be familiar with his name, but you've seen him in such movies as "Dumb and Dumber" and "Down Periscope." Now he's starring in his own movie, "The...

Will President Donald Trump lower the bar for "once vulgar" offensive language?Consider him repeating a supporters reference to another candidate as a female body part. Will it be appropriate to make fun of and belittle people? Will he do a 180 after election?
