The children I see I don't know how to help

[Nephthys]

I don't go ghost hunting, but sometimes I see children, in my dreams or out in public, but I want to help. They never seem malevolent but I don't know what to do. This began when I was a pre-teen, I was getting off the school bus in Riverton Utah, there was a little boy lying in the ditch next to my fence and a sherriff's car nearly ran me over at the scene. I was told to go get a blanket and I did, but by the time I brought it over they had rolled the body onto his back. This seven year old boy named Jason was a friend of my little brother in school. They sat side by side. We were in year round school, and Jason had found his father's .22 caliber handgun and was coming to our house yo play. Apparantly he had been spinning the trigger ring around his finger when it went off. I saw everything. The blood, his glasses shattered...all of it. I started screaming and was escorted inside my house. That night I was trying to sleep, but it felt like someone was looking at me from the door. I looked, and I thought it was my brother, but I can't see anything without my glasses. I put them on, and it was that young boy Jason. He seemed to still be in his death state, the blood and gore still present, his lips never moved but I could feel the words thank you in my head, it kind of gave me a headache, and I blinked then he was gone. The next day my brother came home from school crying because the staff had cleaned out his tote tray and put everything in a bag...like he didn't even matter. My brother said it looked like it was just an unwanted chore. The day after that, Jason finally passed. Since this, I have seen and felt things I know no one else does. From not wanting to go inside certain places, to nightmares, to seeing things outright. I don't want to be crazy, but what if I am?

Welcome to the forum, Nephthys
Thank you for sharing. I’m sorry you had to witness that.

I just moved your thread to a more suitable page.

You’re not crazy. Maybe this event did trigger an otherwise suppressed gift of seeing spirits. Grief and trauma can definitely spark this.

You are not crazy. You have a gift not many have any more, it's compassion you have a great conscience you feel the shame and regret of others you can sense things that are wrong in certain places it's a good idea to follow your instincts, you may have been chosen to seek something out and when you are not on the right path these things come to you. You are in the right place, please make yourself at home here. We are open to many different ideologies, though yours is unique in this way you will find many here have their own unique gifts that are being realized more and more. The key to this place is simple we act as though we are family sometimes we disagree that's part of being a family but when the day is over we are always here for one another, sometimes we give harsh truths.. meaning we do not co-sign a bad decision when one of us makes one but we help each other get on the path they were meant for. God bless my friend. - Armand

The part about nightmares and avoiding certain locations can be expected after a traumatic event.

Often after a child passes away, or anyone dies unexpectedly like that, the dead can have a difficult time passing to the other side, and can end up with part of them still wandering on earth. It could because they couldn’t process their own death, or unfinished business.

If you want to help them, I think there are better versed members on this site that can help you in that regard. I’d say you wanting to help is a noble thing.

the words thank you cannot cover the level of gratitude I feel for this comment...it is so hard to get people to understand. I eveb have a photo of a child's fingers that bleached my pants. I turned them in to a local paranormal group to be tested scientifically....they never returned them.

We recently had a member that went to a paranormal group and also had issues regarding follow up and returning things. These groups can be a real hit/miss thing.

Like I said there are a few people here that can help you out. I’d say that many of those stuck on this side of the veil, just need someone to gently tell them that they’re deceased, and that they need to go to the light, whatever that may mean to some people.

I hope you get all the help you need. I know talking about events like this can be hard. Thanks for opening up to us.

here is the picture...I was cleaning my house one day and I felt a tug on my pants. I thought it was my son, but there was no one. As soon as I finished and got ready to take a sower and that's when I noticed them. my skin was unaffected, but I put my hand next to the marks to show

size difference

Those are well defined bleach marks. I can’t wrap my head around the idea that the paranormal team didn’t give them back.

Did it feel weird other than just being grabbed? Like any cold, tingling, etc?

Welcome Nephthys, Charleh and Armand have covered it pretty well. As far as helping these ghosts move on , have you had success ? If you have, then you already know what to do. Like Charleh said just a gentle acknowledgment that they are dead and can cross over can be enough. I would give a word of some caution though, negative entries and spirits can lie. If you have any depression, oppressive nightmares, mood swings, personality changes or poltergeist activity, you may have something going on other than what you think.

I’m curious about your name, it’s unusual? Can you tell us how you picked it?

Welcome again and thanks for sharing your expierence.
