The Little Boy

Talk to him through your mind. That's how I can communicate with most ghosts. He is a ghost, and you can see him so he looks to you for guidence. Let him in as part of your family if it's okay with you.
You're precognative and can see ghosts. Possible empath.

I'm not sure which part of Australia you live in I am in Sydney however if your nearby I can come have a look for you I'm only 15 but from what I've read both Toddlers and Early teenages (both being significant times in your life) have a strong connection to the Supernatural my e-mail is in my profile send me a message!

HI,Epphoney!I find these kind of stories so fascinating, and as I read yours several things went through my head.First,I'd like to say that everyone who answered you all had good ideas-especially about being very careful because right now you don't know if it is a good spirit, or something evil. I really like Edmund's suggestion of saying,"Jesus loves you,"to see how it reacts. That can give you a starting point based on its reaction. Also, I too would keep a Bible next to the bed and perhaps even carry a pocket version with you-so it knows you have God on your side, and that you will not hesitate to call on Him for help if you need it, which leads me to my next idea.Pray.Simple,and sweet! Ask God to show you the way. Even better-pray with a pastor or priest-the Bible says there is extra power when "two or three gather in My Name."
Also, this might seem weird, but the mind is a powerful thing. It can repress a traumatic experience (s),and replay when least expected.I'm definately not saying that is what is happening to you. It is something else to consider in your puzzle. What was your childhood like? What is the boy wearing? Do your parents remember an episode that was really traumatic for you? Are there any pictures of yourself at his age with a similiar outfit? I am assuming you are male-sorry, I know you may be female. If you are, did you have any male friends that looked like him when younger? I know it sounds far fetched, but what if your mind was trying to recall something that you may have blocked? I've experienced this a couple of years ago myself-in a mall! It is different than your issue, but it was a long, detailed vision of something bad that happened to me before that I had completely blocked out.
The last idea that I have is something that actually hit me at the very first after reading your story, and again it is just that-an idea. But you know all the stories about missing children, and the haunting pictures on milk cartons and such? What if this "child ghost" was actually the spirit of one of those missing children, and he chose to appear to you for help? I have heard several stories of spirits appearing to certain individuals to help locate their missing bodies.It's possible. Stranger things have happened! What do you think? The next time he appears to you, write down a description of him with as many details as possible-hair color, eye color, any distinguishing marks, note his clothing and how dated it appears, skin color,ethnicity,and everything else you feel is important-also,note all the different places you see him-is there one particular place that really stands out to you? Do a little detective work. Were there any significant accidents ever by where you see him outside?Neighbors-especially older ones remember a lot that goes on. Maybe someone remembers a boy who fits your description? Check out the history of your house-any little boy that once lived there? Then-the big guns-try calling the National Missing Persons Registry. (not sure if that is the exact name, but you get what I mean.) They could help you-with any info you can provide-to narrow your search to your country, and your area to see if you might get a match. Perhaps you could first check your local police dept. And look at pictures of missing boys, and even ask if they knew of a boy with your description was ever reported missing in your area. Do I sound crazy?! You may turn up nothing, but just think what a cool thing this could turn out to be. Just maybe you could be the one to help bring closure to a grief stricken family by finding their son's remains. This could lead in so many directions-you get to be a detective for awhile of a potentially wild story. And perhaps this boy will lead you in the direction you should go, step by step! Of course, it could just be that it is a spirit that needs to beat it too! But I think it's worth a little investigating. I really do. I just had a feeling about the little boy...
I'm sorry if I talked (wrote) your ear off! But I thought your story was so very interesting. Please let us know how things go. I will pray for guidance, and wisdom for you. God be with you friend. Jesus truly loves you.
John3:16

Truthfully this is what you should do. I know it sounds bad but You have to ignore him and not give him any attention. Pretend you can't see him. This little boy will give up and go some where else. Its always worked for me.

Its sad that. I have seen ghosts and I just feel sorry for them. I'm in the same situation I don't know what to do either. Maybe he needs to find the stairs to heaven and he is stuck and needs your help. I have seen ghost teenagers my age and it really upsets me.

There was a story in this magazine that this girls mum is a demon hunter. It says evil or demons are deformed.

I think your the only one who can help this boy and he is relying on you.

I agree with the previous comment, many times an evil entity comes to you in a form of an innocent child and the suggestion to ask him questions is right too, but do that BEFORE, touching him. However when you ask, you need to not just listen what he answers, IF he answers, but to listen to your intuition and have a bible with you, see how he reacts to that as well. There were cases when people been fooled by this "innocent child" appearances feeling sorry and sympathetic to them, but the intentions of those spirits were far from peaceful, don't let that happen to you, don't let him prey on you.

This child has finally got your attention. And now this child does want to move in. If you think you got problems now, you will never know what problems are until this child moves into your life and home. Just because this child looks like an innocent one crying, don't be supprised that this child will, always look this way. When it becomes evil can look like anything. Can be anywhere. So please, please take care of yourself. If you become frighten of this enity then you give it more energy and you get less. Don't mean to scare you but just please be careful.

My suggestion is to tell the "little boy" a short joke. If he leaves right away, it is a "negative" energy. If he laughs, then he's okay.
After he laughs, ask him a question such as "are you me in a prior life?" or "Am I phrasing my question wrong?".
This is my belief.
We go to school here to learn. Starting at a beginning level and graduating to more complex levels. This holds true in the spirit world.
Ask a beginning spirit a question, such as "why are you crying" and the spirit will tell you. A more advanced spirit won't.
The advance spirit is waiting for you to ask a question that will demonstrate that you are prepared to receive the "answer".
Good Luck! Let me know whaqt happens, please. It will allow me to learn more.

epphoney... You could probably bet that he will soon ask you if he could stay with you and if you say yes your scr-w-d. About 99% of lost kids are evil looking for a person to haunt. To test this out next time you see him tell him jesus loves him and follow up with the Lord's prayer if he vanishes quickly or gets ugly on you it wasn't a child if he gets surronded in light and fades away leaving a pleasent scent in the room then it was a child... My guess is that he will vanish quick and you will have a nightmare soon after!

Every time I hear about a lost "child" I hesitate. Just be careful. I'm not saying it isn't possible for a child to be lost, but just use caution. Feel things out closely. Since you are new with this, I'm not sure if you could tell the difference between positive and negative energy. Like Glenda said, do "not" become obsessed. This may enhance the episodes you are experiencing. Are you just seeing the child cry or are you actually "hearing" the child cry?

Perhaps this is bad advice, and do be careful because it's a little weird and maybe not good, not sure. Don't get "obsessed" which is one danger. But have you ever thought of trying to record an EVP, electronic voice thing. I'm not a ghost person, but professionals in that area seem to have good results. Just a thought.
