As a child I would feel a presence in our home. I would often ignore the things i would see or feel and pass it off as having an over active imagination. I remember this one time playing in my mothers garden, just her and I. I went inside the house to get something from the closet. When i closed the closet door and faced to my left i saw a mans figure. It wasnt very visible but infact had a rainbowish glow. I remember being very frightened and running outside. I never told my mother or anyone about this encounter. I also recall telling my mother about strange things happening when i was little. When ever i would get sick or have a fever i would see things and say strange things. A friend of the familys encouraged her to read the bible to me when ever i would get sick, and especially when i would get fevers when it was the worst. Im now 19 and still experience strange encounters with things out of this world. I now know that it wasnt my over active imagination because i have felt these strange things with friends. I wonder how many times children actually see the boogie man or a monster in the closet. Perhaps what children see is much more then just shadows or there eyes playing tricks on them. Perhaps children are the most valnurable ones out of all of us to encounter ghosts and other paranormal things.
