I was entirely skeptical of ghosts, etc. and I have not told anyone about this except my husband. About 3 years ago in the house we previously lived in, I would hear noises when no one else was home during the day. I would hear a child playing, I could hear him bouncing a ball, etc.

Then one afternoon while I was making something to eat in the kitchen (no one home again), I heard a voice right beside me say "mom". I pretended I didn't hear it, I could have passed out right there & then. I was never scared of it till then when it came so close.

The final "event" was before we moved. I had put my son to bed and sat down to watch tv. I had clear view of his room where I was sitting. I saw a boy dressed in a plain tan brown top/pants(it appeared to be a boy around 5...around my sons age) run out of my sons room into the hall-into another bedroom. I immediately said outloud, "Get to bed", it didn't register till a second later that it wasn't my son. He replied, from his room "I am in bed". I walked over and there was no one in the other room where the figure ran.

I didn't say anything about it to my son, I was afraid people would think I was nuts.

It wasn't until later that I told my husband. My son as a child (as most children do) talk to himself when he played alone with trucks & stuff, so it never really dawned on me.

A couple years later, I learned from my son that he had 3 imaginary friends...could he have been playing with the ghost(s) all that time?? He had names for them too. It kind of scares me a bit, but the ghost never harmed anyone, and seemed to be playful, so I can be thankful for that.
