My children see dead people


TREMBLING with fear, ten-year-old Fae Jackson darted out of her bedroom and down the stairs to her mum.

She had just seen the wispy image of a person - who had hissed into her ear: "Can you hear me?"

It was the first of hundreds of ghost sightings that would plague the young girl and lead her to believe she may have psychic powers.

Incredibly, Fae's younger brother, Ashley, has now started reporting similar eerie sightings - despite not knowing of Fae's.

Mum Lynn has come to accept her kids have supernatural powers and that, just like the movie The Sixth Sense, her children can "see dead people".

To Lynn, this is anything but a special gift - she sees it as a curse she would love to break.

The 39-year-old, from Waltham Cross, Herts, says: "It feels like someone is bullying my children and I can't do anything about it.

"It would have been easier to deal with if they had an illness. At least I would know where to go for treatment.

"Fae has got used to it and now she enjoys having this ability - but Ashley hates it."

Last week we revealed one in five Brits have seen or felt the presence of a ghost - and that 53 per cent believe in psychic ability. The research coincides with Matt Damon's new film, Hereafter, about a reluctant medium. Fae, now 13, and Ashley, eight, can relate to that.

Stay-at-home mum Lynn says: "The first sign was when Fae started primary school.

"She used to tell me one of her friends was purple or the teacher was red. So one day I told her, 'No darling that boy isn't purple'. She said, 'Mummy I mean the colour around him'."

Now they both believe Fae was recognising auras, the glow said to radiate around a person.

Ghostly sightings started when Fae turned ten, and appeared nearly every day. Once Fae reported her bed being shaken by a frustrated female ghost.

Another time she said she could feel the energy of an old woman against her back while showering. She even says that at times she can feel ghosts playing with her hair.

A figure who regularly appears is "the druggy man", who has droopy eyes and slumps next to Fae in her room.

Lynn says: "How do you deal with something like that? She was terrified. I did start off thinking it might be attention-seeking, but you know your own children. She was shy and not a story teller."

In her skinny jeans and patent Dr Martens, petite Fae today seems at ease with her powers but her huge blue eyes still betray her fear during one of the most terrifying incidents.

She says: "I had walked out of my bedroom and there was a mirror at the other end of the hall. In my reflection I saw a person's head on my shoulder. It was red. I was so scared. But now I understand that it is my grandad and that he is my spirit guide, who is protecting me."

Fae matter-of-factly goes on to relate how she encounters these unexpected visitors.

She says: "It's not like seeing something solid like a chair, it's like a glimpse of the person.

"Mostly I can sense something or feel the energy there and the picture and details come into my head. Like their name can pop into my head or how they died.

"If I close my eyes I see their picture building up. It happens so quickly. I have all this information in a couple of seconds.

"I used to be really scared, I wouldn't like the dark and I wouldn't like looking in the mirror in case I saw something."

The double blow came when Ashley began to see ghosts too.

He refuses to discuss the idea that he may be psychic. Lynn says: "We had been careful to keep everything that was going on with Fae from Ashley. I didn't want him to be frightened. Then, about a year ago, he refused to go into our conservatory and wouldn't go to the toilet alone.

"I asked him what the matter was and he told me, 'There's a head following me around'.

My blood went cold. How do you tell a seven-year-old that some people can see dead people?"
Lynn's husband, David, 45, is clearly concerned and supportive yet, like Ashley, prefers not to discuss the issue.

But supernatural powers may run in the family. Both David's dad and Lynn's gran believed they saw spirits.

Lynn says: "Fae has tried to tell Ashley it's OK and happens to her but he doesn't believe her.

"She's intrigued by it now but he hates it and is terrified."

Through talking to other mediums, Fae has learned to cope with the sightings but Ashley is very much in denial. Instead, a friend who does distant healing - called Theta Healing - has focused on Ashley, asking that he doesn't see anything frightening. Lynn believes this has reduced the sightings but says he still has what he calls "bad thoughts".

Fae, who has learned to channel her ability into learning Reiki healing, says: "I can close down my chakras - points in the body from the head to the feet.

You do it by thinking of those points as lightbulbs and you shut them off so you are closed to the spirits. I can also ask them to go away and I can imagine a white light around me to protect myself.

"When it first started I was seeing spirits every day but now it isn't as often."

Fae adds: "I have only told one friend at school, she was fine about it and accepts it.

"But I wouldn't tell anyone else because I think they would tease me. I would be the witch girl."

Lynn and Fae plan to write a book together on their experiences. They have also launched Facebook group Children With Spirit.

Lynn says: "One of my issues is that there's no real help out there for people like us.

"Talking to other psychic children has really helped Fae, so hopefully it can help others too."

Have you got a psychic child?

Obviously their body died but part of them is not dead, it is still conscious and animate. So they aren't dead people.

When I was really little, I use to ask my mom about the colours and the things that I saw, I also learned quick that asking my mom these types of questions made her uncomfortable and she would immediately change the subject. So I eventually stopped asking, but I never forgot (they made me happy). But I have a feeling that most kids do forget about it when they get older since it's kind of socially unacceptable, and most parents poo-poo their childrens odd questions.

Sevenofnine, I like that you kept the topic in the scientific realm. My personal feeling is that if the energy of our life's existence continues on after physical death, it does so in accordance with physical laws of the universe that we yet do not understand.

When I was a younger man of 20, I worked with an older gentleman who was near retirement and who was trying to teach me how to be an electrician. One day he said to me "I'm not as good of an electrician as I used to be because my eyesight is bad and I can no longer see the electrons moving through the wire". He was, of course, joking.

However, his statement stuck with me all these years because we cannot see electricity moving through a wire, only the effect of it's movement. If we see an electrical spark, it is the force of electricity or electrons ionizing the surrounding air.

Could this be the same with spirits? Are they visible to some people because their energy is in some way "warping" space similarly to gravity; which is also a force we cannot see? Can we say that electricity, electrons, or energy has the ability to be inter-dimensional and what is being seen is the inter-dimensional effect of spirit energy?

I don't really like attaching "paranormal" or "occult" dynamics to this phenomenon because I believe it is physical science we do not yet understand and that the science of energy, frequency, light, etc, will reveal the truth to us.

I agree with your statement. If they are seeing dead people get them out of the morgue or war zone.


When my best friend passed last year he had visited several people afterwards. I personally have not had a visit yet. More than likely because he knows I have many questions. We used to have many talks of such things. He was a Native Indian from here in the states. As we grew up together I learned much of his peoples history and believes.

So I am sure that people may be visited by others from the "other side" I do not see what would be so hard to believe about it. After all some here believe in reptilians, aliens, ufos, the fact we live in a matrix ect. All of which are possibilities so why not a visit from spirits?

Hmmm, great thought. Thank you for sharing I had not thought of it like that.

A few years ago an old girlfriend came to visit us and brought her young child along. One evening she went out to visit old family friends and her young daughter stayed with us over night. Quite late in the evening (probably around 11 or so) we heard a commotion from the spare room. We went in and asked the child what was wrong. She said the other people were keeping her awake. We asked what other people and she pointed to near the door and said "them". We couldn't see anything but it was quite clear she wasn't making it up. She also had experiances back home in Kent as well. I have to say I am quite certain she was seeing something but what I do not know. That was quite a few years ago when she was around 5 years old. She's a teenager and doesn't see anything now.

Perhaps some of these invisible friends that many children have are a bit more than a figment of the imagination? Who can say.

The total amount of people ever lived on earth the last 50.000 years is roughly estimated to be 107 billion.

The amount of living people on earth right now are roughly 7 billion.

If the dead people kept hanging around, would the spirit world not be a very crowded place by now?
