My son is 6. He is afraid to go into any room of our home alone, even in broad daylight with all the lights on. He's always been this way, very fearful of being left alone in a space but unable to explain exactly what it is he is afraid of.
We have a pretty peaceful house (with the exception of the chaos having two little boys brings). My husband and I don't fight often, we are financially stable, own nice things, etc. I only bring this up to emphasize he has no outward reason to base these fears upon.
Today he called me in the bathroom (in the middle of the day) and wanted me to stand by the door because he just saw a pair of legs running across the bathroom floor. I calmly asked him if they were bug legs and he said no, they were legs wearing black slippers. He then went on to tell me that this is not the first time he's seen these legs and they've appeared in the bathroom, the main part of the house, and outside the window.
I had been wondering if he's sensitive to the unseen and that's one of the reasons he's so afraid of things. Now I'm fairly confident he is but I want to know what he's seeing. Is it a ghost? A shadow person? I am leaning towards not a shadow since it's wearing slippers...does anyone have experiences with partial apparitions that make recurring appearances?
Also, my son is very intelligent and doesn't play make believe all that often. He's much more interested in logic and reason. He's SUCH a Virgo.
