a friendly ghost keeps taking money out of my checking account and leaving more fish and aquarium supplies at my house. when my wife finally catches them they're going to be in trouble...
in all seriousness my oldest son who was 5ish at the time, used to see a bellman in the backyard of my Tennessee house. it was really weird because he explained that it was the bellmans job to take the luggage to the rooms of hotel guests and I have no idea where he learned that.
second kid, somewhere between 3-5 brought home this invisible friend from one of the cemeteries on fort Campbell. we all walked through the cemetery and looked around but nothing crazy. then he starts talking about "Jojo" JoJo this and JoJo that. "JoJo taught me about the planet's, they are mercury Venus earth mars Jupiter saturn Uranus and Neptune. " at the time I had to look it up to see if he was right, he was, and i will never forget the moment. he starts talking more and more about JoJo. we finally get it out of him that "JoJo was a prisoner who tried to escape and died in the river". we lived on the red river in Tennessee and it was very muddy. the boy tells us that our water is dirty and JoJo died in clean water, and that JoJo was a Nazi soldier. my wife does some investigating of her own and finds out that Joseph Redinger was a pow held at ft Campbell. he tried to escape and was cornered on a train bridge. the military police shot him and he fell into the Cumberland river where he died.
third kid is 13 months old. wish me luck on that one
