A researcher of anomalous phenomena from the United States, Jason Offutt, has written a number of books where he outlines real stories that are very similar to fairy tales. (website)
But, as Jason claims, this is by no means fiction, but, so to speak, an extreme reality. Moreover, all the stories were told to the scientist by residents of Missouri, his home state, and how much similar information is found all over the world!.. By the way, getting to know these “tales from life” is even more interesting than the invented ones, even the most exciting ones. After all, fiction is one thing, but life, incredible in its mysterious manifestations, is quite another...
Boy in pince-nez
Six-year-old Elaine Lathrum didn't like her bedroom door at night. Already as an adult, the woman said that she simply could not sleep facing her and therefore turned her back to the door. Elaine felt as if someone or something was constantly watching her from there.
At that time, the family lived in Kansas City, in their own home. Being in her room during the day, the girl felt quite comfortable, but with the onset of night everything changed.
One day Elaine woke up feeling terrified. She was afraid to look at the door, but something made her do it. In the doorway she saw a boy about her own age. The boy had dark hair and, for some reason, an old pince-nez. He looked at Elaine from the threshold, and then came and sat down on the edge of her bed.
Elaine was so frightened that she doesn’t even remember whether the night visitor spoke to her. She instinctively turned to the wall, after which she either fell asleep or lost consciousness.
The next day, Elaine told her mother about what she had seen, and she suggested that her grandfather had visited the girl. However, Elaine believes that she saw someone else, and very realistically - not the way they see a ghost or an imaginary friend...

In general, small ones are something that is inaccessible to the eyes of adults. Watching a child, you can, for example, notice how he looks at an empty space with such keen interest, as if he were seeing something real. What exactly is unknown, because it is difficult to tell children about such things. Growing up, they simply forget about them and lose the ability to see the subtle world.
Dark figure and little girl
Diana Davis spent her childhood in Pennsylvania. One day the girl was visiting her aunt and in the evening, playing in the yard, she noticed something strange next to her that looked like a human shadow. This creature watched Diana's play with curiosity.
All the adults were in the house at that time; the girl was alone in the yard. The dark figure moved even closer to her, and then Diana looked at her intently. As if frightened by this look, the creature moved to the side, and the girl exclaimed: “Wait, who are you? Maybe you want to play with me?

Diana rushed after the shadow, and it quickly moved away from her. Finally, a dark figure jumped through the fence between two trees and disappeared. It was probably a ghost or a creature from another dimension, Diana says.
The ghosts of the house told the boy to kill his mother
At the beginning of the new millennium, Mike and Kim Smithmeyer got jobs at the Ford Motor plant and bought a house in the nearby town of Liberty. In 2003 The couple gave birth to twins Randy and Dan. The family's life was calm and happy - until something terrible entered it... Here's what Kim Smithmeyer said about it.
The first time this happened was in 2006, when the boys were three years old. Kim stood on the second floor, holding Dan in her arms. Then the child looked at the stairs leading down and asked: “Mom, who is that going down there?” Kim looked at the stairs: it was empty. “There’s no one there,” the woman said and became wary. -Who do you see? What does he look like?

Dan was silent and just continued to stare in one direction, his eyes clearly following someone who was moving. Finally, turning to his mother, the baby said: “They are gone.”
This incident was almost forgotten, since nothing similar happened for the next four years. And then one day seven-year-old Dan admitted to his mother that he was tired of hearing voices telling him to do bad things. “What are you talking about?” - asked Kim. “I don’t want to repeat it, because it’s very, very bad,” Dan answered quietly, lowering his eyes.
“You can tell me,” Kim said softly. “I’ll try to help you.” And then the seven-year-old child said quite clearly: “The voices are telling me to kill you.” Kim was shocked: “Killed me?!” Did they say anything else?” Dan nodded: “Yes. So that I would hurt our cat, and then my brother.”

The next day Kim took the child to a psychiatrist. After examining Dan, the doctor said that if his condition worsened, he might need medication. However, after the appointment the boy behaved calmly all day. On weekends he visited his grandmother, where he was also fine. However, as soon as Dan returned home, everything changed for the worse again. The boy could not be alone in the room, he became nervous and asked his mother to take him to her bed.
In desperation, Kim began to talk to the house: she convinced and begged its invisible inhabitants to leave the family alone and especially not to scare the children. It seemed to work, because the attacks on Dan stopped, and peace reigned in the house again...
I put together a post about what strange and creepy things little children sometimes say. And these are not stories about a woman, oh no! This sounds much scarier.
We have selected the most impressive comments:
“At the age of 3, my daughter told me that I had a boy inside; but I don’t even know. But he won't last long. Well, that’s how it turned out. I took a test and found out I was pregnant. I lost my baby at 12 weeks."
“Our youngest is 3 years old, until recently he slept in the room with us. He once had a period when he cried hysterically and said that there was a cow in the mirror. We, of course, laughed and didn’t pay attention, until in the middle of the night the dog suddenly jumped up and started barking at the mirror. After that, I washed the mirror with holy water and the cow seemed to disappear.”
“When I was two years old, I saw a boy at the chandelier who was crying. It was dusk, and her brothers and I were in the room. My daughter periodically looked at the chandelier, and then talked to us, and at some point said: how long will he continue to cry? After questioning, she pointed to the chandelier and said that there was a crying boy. A few days later everything happened again."
“A friend started coming to my son when he was 7 years old. His name is Gandhi. Most often he comes at night. My son talks about him very calmly. He says that he and his parents were killed, but somehow he remained in spirit and has been looking for a friend for a long time. The son agreed to be friends with him. Gandhi rarely comes, and they have their own conventional sign when a child can call him. I ask: why are you calling him? The son says that he gives him advice on how to act in certain situations."
“Until the age of 3, the child said that he chose his parents himself, that his uncle named the Caretaker showed him his parents.”
“Mine was constantly looking at one corner of the room. He plays and plays, then freezes and looks there. Periodically she pointed there with her finger and said: uncle. After a year and a half this started happening. It was also scary"
“In the old apartment, my daughter kept saying that some old woman was bathing in the bathroom.”
“When I was three years old, I said that my aunt was sitting on the table in the room. She even had a name - Marashaba. One day I started asking him what she looked like. And I wish I hadn’t asked this! The son said that this aunt has long legs and WHITE eyes. And that she does nothing, just sits. I felt sick. This lasted for about 2 months. My husband then wanted to call the imam from the mosque, but somehow everything ended abruptly.”
“My daughter (7 years old) sometimes tells me that she remembers how she was offered to choose her mother THERE. There were different ones, he says, there was even one blonde, but I knew that I would choose you. I saw you and knew you before. It’s like someone gave me a button to press on a tablet.”
“When my son was 2 years old, he told me about some kind of hand. That she has no mouth, no tummy - just one arm. That he sees her often and is afraid. He slept in the same bed with us until he was 5 years old, he was afraid of this hand.”
“When I go to bed, my daughter looks at the ceiling and starts smiling and gets embarrassed. I ask: who is there? She answers: children"
“My child saw a boy with wings and our grandfather, who died in this apartment before he was born.”
“Once I almost peed myself at night, when the child woke me up with a thin voice: mamaaaaaa, there’s some aunt standing at the door!”
“My 3-year-old son in a new apartment saw his uncle in the kitchen in the same place. But he was not afraid of him, and I was calm too. So it wasn’t a bad entity.”
“My son saw some uncle in the room. I saw him for about 3 years, then it passed. The first time he woke up screaming and said that some black uncle had taken his finger. It was very scary"
“Children see things that we cannot. When my son was 1.5 years old, I gave birth to a daughter, but she died at the age of 5 months. And until 40 days, the son woke up every night at 3 o’clock and talked to someone. He turned to me and said: “Mom, don’t cry, Lala is smiling.” It was creepy"
“And my daughter keeps calling herself by a different name since she was 1.5 years old. She’s going to be 4 soon. And she keeps saying, “I’ll be big, and you’ll be little, and I’ll push you in a stroller too.”
“My children, under the age of 2, both told me that they see someone outside the window, on the ceiling, in the corner, etc. By the age of three I stopped hearing it. I chalked it up to childhood fantasy. Did you just find out whether this person was good or bad? Whether his child is afraid or not. Mine were not afraid"
I am a psychologist, I work a lot with children. More and more often I come across stories where a child feels the presence of the otherworldly in the apartment, is afraid, worries. It is important to analyze the situation as a whole. Is the baby healthy, what are the relationships in the family, what is the history of the place in which he lives? Unfortunately, in order to help effectively, you must first collect a lot of information. If something incomprehensible happens, everyone looks there. But you need to look around, feel deeper into yourself and the space around you, then the problem will be solved faster. Voltage can come from several points:
- Images are created by the child’s psyche itself. You need to consult a good psychiatrist.
- Space creates tension. The “bad apartment” phenomenon. Rare special cases, but they do happen.
- The child faces everything heavy that his parents bear.
It’s difficult to talk about everything in one article. Let's take a closer look at the most common example. Children are like hypersensitive antennas; they are amazingly capable of picking up all the fears and anxieties, all the tensions and prejudices of adults. In most cases, when a child sees something frightening and strange, the reason must be sought in the emotional state of loved ones, in their relationships, in their fears, anger and pain. (This does not apply to the age of 5 years, when the presence of fears and frightening fantasies is the age norm) Therefore, I always ask people who have encountered mysticism about their lives. But they rarely answer me, because that’s where it’s truly scary and hopeless. Here is a real story, it will help you understand a lot. Read all of mom's posts and try to see the whole situation.
Recently, my daughter gets up in the morning and says that at night someone black came up to her sofa, she only saw his legs. At the same time, she could not move and could not call me, as if someone was holding her. One day she got up, asked my dad to go to her sofa, she moved over to me (we have a one-room apartment, we sleep, the sofas are side by side), and after that she fell asleep. I also felt somehow restless that night, but I didn’t see anyone. Based on the notes I read earlier, I think it was a brownie, but how we angered him and what he wanted to tell the child, I just don’t understand. It seems like we have always been friends with him. Maybe someone knows more about this, if you share, I will be very grateful.
Today my daughter (she is 15 years old) woke up in the morning and says that in the morning something black was sitting by her sofa and holding her hands. It held her in such a way that she could not move. She sleeps on her couch for the second night. And before, she was afraid to sleep alone at night, and my husband and I decided that she should sleep with me. But when we arrived on vacation, we went to see a woman who heals with prayers. I told her about my daughter. The woman wrote out prayers and told her to carry two pieces of paper on herself (I sewed them into a piece of fabric). She ordered one piece of paper with prayers to be burned over her bed. That's what I did. The first night my daughter was very afraid to go to bed alone, I jumped up all night and watched. But in the morning she said that she slept like the dead. And this morning I told you about this black thing. I don't even know what to think. Maybe some negativity is leaving her? I'm not strong in these matters. Maybe someone can tell me?
Little will change if those dark clouds of anger, pain, despair and hopelessness that you hide in your soul do not go away. And the space will respond - with knocks, visions, nightmares. If your child sees or feels the presence of the otherworldly, first of all you need to exclude organic pathology of the brain (intoxication, trauma), the presence of an endogenous mental disorder (childhood schizophrenia), congenital constitutional characteristics of the mental makeup (nervous excitability, increased impressionability, extremely developed imagination). This is very important, because mental illnesses on the schizophrenia spectrum affect 1 in 100.
After these serious reasons are rejected, then ask yourself questions to what extent the 9 points apply to you. All the points noted in this list create significant psycho-emotional stress, chronic stress, which leads to frightening encounters with the otherworldly. If you ignore your pain and your fears for a long time, they themselves come to us or to our children.
As for the girl’s case, the rest of the mother’s posts, in which she talks about her life, are very interesting and clarify a lot. Here's what she writes:
About my daughter
My daughter is 13 years old, a transitional age, and our problem is that she is very unsure of herself, her classmates only use her when they need something. And if it’s not necessary, then they can even swear at you. Yesterday she comes home from school, roars, and says: her classmates called her a loser and swore at her. She is small, thin, and fragile. He is afraid of any showdowns.
Today I spanked my daughter with a belt. The gingerbread is over, only the stick remains. He comes home from school wearing some black sneakers. She went there wearing sneakers that we bought her for three thousand rubles. It turns out that a friend asked to give her sneakers for physical education and went home in them. This isn't the first time this has happened. I was already tired of this, and I took up the belt. Maybe now he will understand that money does not fall from the sky. I really hope that she realizes what the belt was telling her. Although why am I surprised, I was like this myself as a child, if they told me yes, then I definitely have to answer no. Yes, this feeling of contradiction has remained in me to this day.
My daughter cried for three days over her dead hamster, she was 4 years old, and then our cat died at eleven years old (my daughter just turned eleven, they were the same age), so she put his photo in a frame, and this photo is on our most visible place.
My daughter has had atopic dermatitis since she was three years old. No matter what treatment is given, it cannot be completely cured. Now she is in adolescence, she has realized how ugly it is when there are sores and itches under the knees, in the bends of the arms. A lot of complexes, of course. He always dresses in closed clothes; teachers get tired of making comments about his appearance.
In this case, to prevent nightmares from tormenting the child, you need to create a warm, supportive atmosphere. Help in word and deed during a difficult period of growing up, try to understand, do not criticize. Without your love, attention and care, it will be difficult for him to feel strong and confident. And a helpless, anxious person will not be able to resist fears.
About my husband
I feel like a useless old hag. My husband sent me yesterday to all sorts of places, I already went. This is how he wished me happy birthday.
I know that it's my own fault. She was young, stupid, and always refused. And then the woman in me woke up, but he already refused me. So it turned out that now none of us needs sex. At first it really bothered me. But now I take it more or less calmly. I loaded myself with work so much that by nightfall I just had to get to bed and sleep and sleep. The only bad thing is that the lack of sex has a detrimental effect on your health. I definitely understood this.
My hubby started to build on my daughter and me, pestering us. Then she began to open her arms, thank God, only with me. Didn't touch my daughter. As a result, I was about forty years old, and I was beaten by my own husband. I walk around with bruises, I can’t lift my arms, everything hurts.
It seems that my husband and I have made peace. But it's still not the same. I can’t put on a mask of goodwill; he doesn’t want to do it either. In every word, in every gesture, both of them show irritability and dissatisfaction. I don’t know how long it will last for me and him. We stayed in the same apartment only because he had nowhere to live. I understand this and understood it immediately in a conversation with him. It turns out that he will use my services, I will use his services. I understood all this when I agreed to this scam, but I thought that as a businesswoman I would survive everything. But it's not that simple. I communicate with clients for work all day, that is, I wear a “mask” all day. But in the evening, at home, I want to take it off. But it doesn’t work out; here, too, a certain “mask” is needed. She doesn't want to dress in any way. What to do? I ask myself this question a hundred times a day. I don't know the answer.
About deceased parents
Mom died a year and a half ago, dad died three and a half years ago. So they left one after another. The feeling of guilt still does not go away. In recent years, I lived very far from them, my mother was sick all the time, and my father was the first to leave. After his death, my mother did not want to live, so she drove herself into the grave. It hurts a lot and will probably hurt for a very long time.
I am sure that all our relatives from there came for our mother before her death (and we already have a lot of them there, unfortunately). After mom was given to us and we brought her home from the hospital, she periodically raised her left hand in a welcoming gesture for two days. It's very scary to watch this. Our eldest relative told us that our relatives were coming for her, waiting for her.
The day before yesterday I dreamed about how our mother was dying, everything in detail, as it really was. I woke up in the middle of the night, scared, creepy. I don’t understand why I was afraid.
Soon it will be two years since my mother has been gone. Since she died, I have been constantly having dreams - about her, with her, whenever. I used to be scared too, I thought, why am I dreaming about her? Now I have calmed down. It seems to me that during the day I live my life, and at night I live with my mother. Maybe you often think about your mother, so you dream about her.
In families with otherworldly phenmen, there is always a difficult story, a person’s pull towards death. After all, there are those who loved and supported him. And here he is all alone.
About depression
For a long time I did not want to admit to myself that a dark streak had come. This is probably how it should be, I’ve had a white one for too long. The problems with my husband have almost completely separated. I have a lot of work, but my beloved depressive is attacking me on the sly. More and more often I want to lie on the sofa, cover my head with a blanket, and cry, cry, cry. I remember being in such a state, it was a hundred years ago. I didn't think I'd come back to this.
I'm terribly depressed. Or inhuman fatigue. I don't know what to call this condition. I do everything through I don’t want to, I can’t. But if I’m still doing something, and not lying on the couch with tears in my eyes, then everything is not so bad. But there are already tears - this is bad. This is the beginning of something bad. But I have a lot of work, a lot of obligations, I can’t afford to let myself go. My husband is fed up with complaints that he doesn’t help much, doesn’t take care of his family, and has only work on his mind. I understand that I am talking nonsense, but I need to pour out everything that is accumulating in my soul somewhere, on someone.
I was on sick leave, treated for osteochondrosis, the neurologist was tired of the fact that I couldn’t be cured, and he sent me to a psychotherapist. It turns out that this is what I needed, and not injections for osteochondrosis. I was even on antipsychotics, now I only take afobazole, and then only out of habit. I couldn’t even smile, I lay on the sofa and cried, and no force could lift me from there.
About fears
After surfing the Internet looking for information about the end of the world in 2012, I was not myself for a week, I kept thinking, why live, why work, it will all be over in two years anyway. It is very bad to live without hope for the future. I'm probably just very impressionable, such information is not for me. Just wait two years and everything will become known. And if this is true, then let everything happen instantly, and not last for long days, as they write in some articles.
Each case is individual. Perhaps your situation is completely different. But the general rule is one: the more kind, accepting, loving relationships there are around the baby, the easier it is for him to cope.
Children perceive the world in a special way, sometimes they demonstrate such amazing abilities and skills that it causes amazement and the question - how can they know this? When they are born, up to five years old, sometimes older, children retain an invisible connection with the astral world; they have the ability to see and hear what adults do not see.
Parents of infants often encounter the fact that the baby may look with interest at a certain place in the room, smile there, and tell something. Older children who can already speak point to an empty place in the house and tell their parents that “uncle or aunt is over there.” Naturally, this behavior of children worries mothers and fathers, and they worry: is everything okay with their baby? But this happens to almost all children.
According to the beliefs of the ancient Slavs, the brownie, the invisible spirit of the home, lives side by side with people. If he likes his owners, he will help look after the children, calm them down and entertain them. Our ancestors believed that the brownie could fly, and usually be on the ceiling or under the threshold. This seems quite plausible, considering that most often small children “talk” to something that is on the ceiling and laugh while looking there.
Useful: If you use the Internet from your mobile device, then you just need to download mini opera, because it will not only provide you with maximum speed for opening pages and convenient surfing, but will also save your traffic, and therefore money.
In such cases, older people say that it is the angels who entertain the children, but angels are also spirits, and it turns out that children still see beings from the subtle world, unlike adults who have lost this ability. Children aged two years and older often make invisible friends and talk to them. These “invisible ones” can tell the kids their name, often quite unusual, and even play with them.
When asked by adults about what such a “friend” looks like, children give descriptions of little boys or girls, but sometimes invisible friends take the form of an animal, often not quite ordinary. Expert psychologists believe that a similar situation arises when a child is deprived of attention, but “invisible people” appear in friends and among very sociable and approachable children, and the children do not hide their mysterious friends, but, on the contrary, try to show them to their parents and introduce them to them .
It is not always only such creatures that behave harmlessly - it happens that babies cry because some unkindly disposed entities frighten them. And now mothers are often faced with a situation when the child is overcome by crying, and nothing can calm him down. In such cases, even in our enlightened times, the baby is referred to a healer, and with the help of spells and special rituals, the children fall asleep peacefully.
Recent research by scientists has found that babies can perceive many more frequencies, and they hear sounds that are inaccessible to adults. Therefore, when a child “booms” and laughs at something, it is quite possible that he is communicating with creatures invisible to us.
