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

I am not sure, what I am sure about is they dream a lot and they cannot differentiate about dreams and reality.

That's a belief here too. Dogs are supposed to be able to listen to the sound waves that human ears can not hear. That's why they can sense for earthquakes and other calamities. It is believed that they can sense spirits too.
In our culture babies seem to be in between the materialistic and spiritual world ( the pure spiritual world). They smile and cry for reasons that we can only guess and not be sure.

According to the experiences of all people worldwide, they say yes, that both children and animals see ghosts or can have a greater connection with ghosts.
