Children by carys
When you see spirits or you encounter unusual things do you wonder why? I spoke to my mother about the things I see and according to her I've seen them all my life. But I will not get into it to much. I might possibly if people respond. I remember in primary school always seeing extra childre...

They Seem To Be Everywhere I Go by tee_jo1980
My first experience happened to me when I was about 8 or 9. We lived in a trailer house at the time and I always heard things that never really had any type of explanation.
