“When my daughter was about 2 and a half, we moved into an old home that was used for the ‘help’ of the owners of a mansion next door. We were getting in the car one day when she looks over in the neighbors’ backyard and yells ‘hi’ while waving. I looked over and saw no one there, so I asked whom she was waving at. She said ‘the boys picking apples.’ There was one tree but it wasn’t an apple tree, nor was there anyone there. But she kept insisting they were. I met the person who lived in that house and asked her if she had any sons. She said no so I told her the story of what had happened. She said, ‘That’s strange. We just had an apple tree cut down that has been there for over 100 years.'”
“The waving at the invisible apple pickers happened a few more times after. In the same house, my daughter said there was a family living there with us: parents and their daughter. They said that they had died in a car accident. At dinner one night, she said, ‘They’re right there. Don’t you see them?’ while pointing at nothing in the kitchen. I played along with it but before long my daughter would say she was playing with the little girl of the family (my daughter said her name was Izzy). Izzy would ride with us in the car and play with my daughter when we were at home.
What made me move was when one night, my daughter was in the bathtub and let out a terrifying scream. I had just gone to grab her towel. I ran in and asked her what was wrong and she said, ‘The mean man sitting on the floor is watching me take a bath and is making a mean face,’ while pointing at nothing. From that point on, she wouldn’t even walk past the bathroom without looking inside first to see if the ‘mean man’ was there. This made nighttime potty training virtually impossible! We lived there about a year and a half and then moved.”
