Do Children See Spirits More Easily?

[Urvashi]

Many cultures believe children can see ghosts or angels more clearly than adults. Some say innocence makes them sensitive, while skeptics call it imagination. Have you ever heard a child describe something supernatural you couldn’t explain?

I’ve read that children are often thought to be more sensitive to spirits, possibly because of their vivid imagination and openness. While some experiences may feel real, it’s hard to separate perception, imagination, and cultural influence.

There is nothing concrete as a proof, but yes, it's the belief in many cultures. In our traditional Indian beliefs, it is said that children don't incarnate fully into their bodily existence till the age is seven. They keep shuttling between the true world, one being here and other being the spiritual realm. Only after the change of teeth around seven years of age, they get fully incarnated into the body and are ready for their materialistic journey into this life.

I have never heard of a belief like that in my locality. The one I know is that dogs tend to see spirits and ghosts that humans cannot see. I don't know of children. Could it be the reason babies cry at night? Cringe
