The Haunted One Too.: Ghosts Children

Ghosts Children

On many occasions doing paranormal research we sometimes come across ghost children. The souls, spirits, residual energy and sometimes high level spirits (crossed over and came back) in homes, historical landmarks, graveyards, nightclubs and hospitals that make me feel sad that they unaware of their situation and yet continue to play, tease and scare. Many never make that trip through that tunnel or sometimes compared to a hallway with the bright light at the end. Too scared to cross over, many not having any assistance through the doorway we call the afterlife. These low level ghosts as children will always remain the same age they past with, having the same ailments and the same fears as living children do.

With residual haunting, we are not able to communicate with them at all. They continue to do the same thing over and over again. Still stuck in a time loop of despair, joy or torture they cannot be reached and so cannot be helped to cross over. It’s quite frustrating to come across this type of spirit because you know there is nothing you can do to help this poor little soul. A good example is at the Myrtle Plantation where the little girls who were accidently killed still play in the garden and is often seen holding hands singing ♫Ring Around the Rosie♫.

Here in Fort Lauderdale at “Cooley’s Landing”, around sunset, the sounds of Cooley’s children being killed by the Seminole Natives as revenge for releasing the murderers of their beloved Chief Alabama. The Cooley massacre happened on January 13^th, 1832 and still the residual energy of children being shot and then dismembered is sometimes heard on the anniversary day, but I have heard it once in July, on a hot steamy night, as I did my tour (Fort Lauderdale Ghost Tour). The group that night was 6 Native Americans of the Miccosukee Tribe, which had nothing to do with the massacre, but was beautifully dress in traditional shirts and long black hair that down to their hips may have triggered the screams we heard across the river that night. We can only speculate on whether or not is the trigger to cause this reaction and effect. Some use music or sounds to trigger of residual energy responses.

Right across the same area of the river we have 2 other ghost children that like to play. One is a high level spirit that died at the age of 43 years old but comes back as an 8 year old boy. His home was the first to get electricity here in Fort Lauderdale in 1912 and he’s been enchanted with it ever since. Turning on lights and ceiling fans while we were investigating. Shutting off cameras and video as we tried evp sessions and séances, he really let us know he was there in the haunted restaurant.

In a house across the street from that location is an area where a little girl ghost haunts the courtyard and the veranda of one of Fort Lauderdale’s oldest Hotels. She drowned in the river and has been haunting the ¼ mile area in which she died. During the day and night people would see her skipping along the walkway with hoop and stick at hand. Blonde curly hair, white dress, black stockings and black boots, she sometimes watch people walk by and some would ask her about her dress or to let them in to use the washroom, she giggles at them and says, “I live in a two story house.” Often the extra player of hide and seek games of young children playing in the courtyard. By this action we are aware that she is an intelligent haunt and she might be able to cross over. As part of my tour, she is one of the most photographed ghosts.

The realm of children ghost holds a sadness of dreams of becoming a teen or adult that would never be. It’s not easy subject to talk to children about, but I get through it with questions from Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and Brownies that come to my tour. It all helps with good parenting skills to be able to talk to your children that not only the old will pass away.

For those who are interested in maybe meeting a ghost child at our SEFGR Event we have 2 young girls in a haunted Fire Station.
