That is the question.
So normally I wouldn't even consider the latter as a possibility. I don't believe in supernatural beings for the sole reason that I have never experienced one. I'm a seeing is believing type of person. My dad is the same way. Now, my sister and mom are complete opposites. They have claimed to have seen many a dead person, including my mom's late friend and my grandfather who passed when I was in 3rd grade. I am terrified of this prospect, and both claim that a supernatural being (or ghost) would never present itself to me because I am too terrified. I just don't like the idea of dead people roaming around amongst us. It's just creepy.
So anyway, I digress. If you read this post, you may be slightly confused as to why I'm questioning Annika's "invisible friend". Well, here is some of my thoughts as to why it could be a ghost. We have several toys that like to play all on their own. This has been going on for some time now. I had to turn one off just to make it stop. Last night, another one started in. Just a little bit later, Annika pointed to that same corner and said, "Look mom, there's a little man over there!". Freaked me out! Then she proceeded for at least another half hour about this little man. Sometimes he was in her hand, other times he was up toward the ceiling. When I asked her what he looked like, she said daddy.
So after a while, it starts to sound like an invisible friend, right? Well, of course my mind kept reeling all night. I've only experienced weird things in my basement. It's not a scary basement, it's actually quite nice and comfy. However, my sister used to live there. I swear to God, she brings spirits with her everywhere she goes. She lived with us in our old house too and I experienced strange things there too. She sees ghosts everywhere, it's creepy as hell.
So, here is where I need your help. Am I just being crazy and over thinking things? Or, could it be quite possible that my sister brings these beings into places and then they think they can just wander freely in and out as they choose? I'd like to think that these ghosts know they are not welcome in my house. I just won't have it. I don't care if you are my beloved grandpa or what. It's just not ok in my book. Do you believe in ghosts? Have you experienced the supernatural? Please share. I know my SIL Kristi did a post on this a while back too.
Thanks everyone!

It could be either, I suppose! I do think kids are more susceptible to paranormal stuff and despite whether you believe or not, Annika has a couple of aunties who have this gift ;)
I do believe that ghosts can follow certain people (ex, Bradie and our dorm ghost) but you'd think the ghost would follow Erin back to her place!
If Annika isn't afraid then I wouldn't worry too much. Hopefully it is a protective/friendly "friend"
