Are children more attuned to the supernatural? Perhaps they have not yet created their own filters for feelings and experiences that most of society consider irrational or abnormal. Or it could be that young brains or minds are, for whatever reason, physically more receptive to such phenomena as ghosts, near-death experiences, past-life recall and premonitions. Whatever the reason, here are several true stories from readers that seem to confirm that children can be extraordinarily tuned in to the strange and the unexplained.

I read somewhere once that children are more receptive to paranormal activity because they havent been taught to NOT believe in the paranormal. I experienced several paranormal things when I was young but havent since Ive been an adult, even though I have a very big interest in the subject.
