Children are much more adept at seeing spirits for two reasons. One, children are much closer to the spirit world--they left it quite recently to be born. Two, children don't know that things like spirits don't exist. No one has told them yet that ghosts aren't real. So yes, it makes perfect sense that your friend's little sister would see a spirit.

I saw spirits when I was little--I just didn't know that at the time. I was with my grandpa, and we had gone over to see a friend of his on our way to the store. I was outside by my grandpa's truck when a man came by on a bicycle. The man on the bicycle looked to be about 20 years old, and he was dressed as if he was back in the 1930's. He had on the hat that was sort of poofed up in the back but mooshed down in front over the brim. He had on the sort of pants that buckled at the knees, with dark socks leading to his old-looking shoes. He had on a white shirt with an argyle-style sweater vest on. His bicycle looked old too. It wasn't a bicycle with one big front wheel and a little bitty back wheel, but it was obviously an old bicycle. Everything around me was brightly colored, like the green trees and blue flowers, but this man and his bicycle were sort of washed out. Everything about him was shades of brown and gray. He stopped his bike for a minute, looked at me, tipped his hat, said, "Cheerio!" in an English accent, and rode away. I turned around to see if my grandpa had seen him, but he hadn't. When I looked again to see if the man was still down the street, he had vanished. I told my grandpa what I saw, but he thought I was making it up. I was about 4 at the time.

Answer 7

Yes, they can the ability is stronger in young ones because they haven't blocked anything out yet, I used to have similar experiences. Don't be afraid, this spirit only wants company, it's harmless at least as far as I know. Be glad it sounds like she has her aunt looking out for her.

Answer 8

I believe anyone could talk to a ghost. After my Dad died, he did appear to me and I asked he he was ok and out of pain and he said yes he was fine and no more pain. Some people tell me it was a dream or wishful thinking, but I know it was real and that's the most important. So if the girl said she talking to a ghost or friend that's great.

Answer 9

Yes.
Young children are more aware of things around them. Even the things that don't seem to make any sense to adults.
Watch them carefully. make sure the ghosts or spirits do not have any evil intents.

Answer 12

Of course. Anyone can. Just children aren't yet brainwashed with other things, that they can still talk to people in other worlds. No problem don't let it worry you. She is fine and innocent. Pray that only good will come her way.

Answer 14

Yes children see ghosts and spirits. Your friends sister is seeing the spirit of her aunt , not the ghost of her aunt. A spirit is a person who has passed away and moved on to heaven. A ghost is the spirit of a person who has passed away, but for some reason has remained earth bound, attach to an object or a house/property.

Answer 15

My mother told me that I used to talk to my dead aunt. As I cannot remember this, there are 3 possible explanations:
1. I DID talk to my dead aunt.
2. My mother was lying.
3. I was a very troubled child!!!!

I truly doubt no.2 and I am reasonably normal nowadays, so that only leaves one option.......God, I've just scared myself. I've got to go...byeeee!!.....

Answer 16

Children of that age still believe in magic and are more likely than adults to have these kind of experiences. She may or may not have the ability to speak with ghosts. It could be that she has seen a picture of Samantha and heard her spoken of frequently enough to 'see' her. On the other hand, she may have a strong connection to Samantha on a spirit level. Only she can tell you.

Answer 17

Yes they say that children can see ghosts and spirits, although not all of them can and they can stop seeing them as they get older.

Answer 18

yes, children absolutely can. I have done this, my children have done this. Children are much more aware of it for some reason.

Answer 19

Yes they can

Answer 20

Well, they might be talking to someone. It doesn't necessarily mean a nice little girl ghost either. I talked to what I though were ghosts when I was five. They took me to the moon and some underwater building in the lake or ocean. It was a long day. They used to bring me things but my dad would try to take them and sell them.Sometimes they would punish him too. He was one of the guys involved with the Philadelphia experiment that never happened too. I don't remember meeting the Easter bunny but I guess they could have done that one also.Once they brought a Raptor to my grade school for show and tell. Many kids wet their seats for some reason that day. I remember some guy from the Air Force sitting in the back of the room sometimes also. Yeah, those were the good ol' days.

Answer 21

The mind of a child is a wonderous thing, they see things in a totally different way than adults do,ya know? They have imagination, i think this leaves them open to the spirit world that is all around us,but, we can't see it because as we get older we are taught suchs things arn't real and believing in them is childish. They still have the ability to believe,hence ,they can see what we canot in our "wisdome"...we should all take a lesson from children and look with an open heart.

Answer 22

I have a niece who is now 10 yrs old but when she was 4 or 5 she used to talk to her great grandma who's name was Minnie...Minnie died a few years before she was born...my niece is half indian and half romainian...soo minnie is her great grandma from her romanian side...in romanian u saya Baba for grandma...so she would alwayz say she talked to Baba Minnie...she would draw pics of her and Baba Minnie would talk to her...shes grown out of it now. her mom who is my cousin and indian...was freaked out by this...but its okie now and she understood that these things happen and she never told my neice that it was wrong to talk to Baba Minnie...

Answer 23

Yes they can, and they can do so with anything else in the paranormal realm. The reason is that they have not yet been conditioned by adults around them to not believe in those things so they are much more openminded to them.

Answer 24

this is super cool :] i guess i'm getting answers to things that happened to me earlier

Answer 25

She can talk to ghosts just as well as you can...which is not at all. Stop watching Ghost Whisperer if you can't distinguish fact from fiction.

Answer 26

It's quite possible. Anyone can talk to "ghosts," you just have to believe they will respond in their own manner.

Answer 27

We can all talk to ghosts. But, as we grow older, we get conditioned so that we can't see them. Most people no longer believe when they're older.

Answer 28

I believe young children can see things with their minds eye that most adults cannot see, just because they don't have their minds closed to other possibilities (people dwelling on another plane of existence).

Answer 29

Yes till the age 4 kids are conected to our spirit world

Answer 30

nooo can't believe all these things
