Hi, I'm Brandy, Matthew's mother. Having Matt around has been a trip. The other day, Matt rode with me and his grandaddy. He was yelling to ther back seat "buckle up". When I asked him who he was talking to, he told me his friend wasn't buckled up and a policeman was going to get me. I told him to tell his friend to buckle up. Then I asked him who his friend was, he told me a ghost.I asked hin what kind of ghost. He told me it was a "real" ghost. I'll write again later.
 
Wow, you guys have certainly had interesting experiences with the little guy. How's Scott (Matt's Brother...) making out.

One question, "Are all kids like this on some level at this age?!" I'm not married (my boyfriend's been hinting that he's got a _BIG_ surprise for me when I go down to see him in two months though!!!), or have kids. I've babysat a lot, although I have never had experiences like the ones that all of you are describing.

Hope you're all having a great day. Take Care, -Kathy.

BEEN A LONG TIME! MATTHEW STILL 'TALKING' ALOT. HE HAS BEEN REALLY INTO THIS SEPTEMBER 11TH THING. TALKS ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME. HE EVEN ASKED FOR A NICE GLOBE FOR CHRISTMAS. MY MOTHER BOUGHT HIM A 'CHEAP' GLOBE FROM A DOLLAR STORE AND FIGURED IF HE COULD SHOW HER THINGS ON THAT, THEN WE WOULD FIND OUT ABOUT A NICE GLOBE. HE SHOWED HER WHERE AFGHANISTAN WAS LOCATED. THEN, HE TOLD HER ABOUT HOW BIN LADEN USED TO BE HIS UNCLE. (KINDA SCARY, BECAUSE MY HUSBAND'S MOTHER WAS FROM SYRIA AND SOME OF HER BROTHERS WERE EITHER BORN OR LIVED IN SAUDI ARABIA.) HAD ANOTHER CHILD SAID THIS, WE WOULD HAVE SHRUGGED IT OFF, BUT NOT SURE WITH MATTHEW. MY SISTER'S 3 YR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER, STEPHANIE, REALLY SPOOKED MY SISTER YESTERDAY. STEPHANIE TOLD MY SISTER THAT SHE WAS GOING FOR A RIDE AND WHEN MY SISTER ASKED HER WHERE SHE WAS GOING, STEPHANIE TOLD HER SHE WAS GOING TO SOMBER CEMETARY. (NO-ONE IN OUR FAMILY HAS EVER HEARD OF IT) BUT WHY WOULD A 3 YR OLD TALK ABOUT A CEMETARY? MATTHEW'S FATHER SHOWED UP AT OUR DOOR STEP TODAY. (REMEMBER HE LEFT ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO). SAID THAT HE WANTED TO SEE HIS BOYS. NOT SURE HOW THAT IS GOING TO EFFECT MATTHEW (OR SCOTTY. DON'T KNOW IF SEEING HIM 'WHENEVER' IS BEST OR NOT SEEING HIM AT ALL IS BEST FOR MATTHEW. WELL, TOOK SO LONG TO WRITE BACK BECAUSE MATTHEW (OR STEPHANIE) TRIED TO GET ON THE 'NET' WITH MY 'PUTER'. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, WE HAD TO GO GET ANOTHER ONE.
 
Matthew going through a hard time for the past couple of nights. He has been 'waking up' and pointing towards the ceiling yelling "get him out of here". He will cry uncontrollably for a few minutes then go back to sleep.
 
Hi Mattsgrma

Sorry to hear Matt’s not having an easy time recently…I wondered…have you ever tried some of the suggestions given forward before….like maybe a blue light in the room, or a little lavendar oil on his pillow before sleep???? It may make him feel a little calmer. Or maybe saying a little prayer or telling a story together before sleep every night.

Lots of Love

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Yes, we have tried alot of things, the one thing that seems to work the best is the (ice pack) headache thing from the freezer. Matthew went to visit a family member today (one that really doesn't believe in any of this kind of stuff). Matthew went up to him and told this family member that he wanted to talk to him about his 'aura'. The movie, Ghost, came on television tonight. I wouldn't let Matthew watch it, although, I really wanted to know if the black figures that came after the bad guys after death, were anything like what Matthew sees. Would Matthew watching Ghost do more harm than good?
 
Matthew up alot last night, crying, saying that he didn't want to go. Not sure what he was talking about.
 
Checking in about Matthew. For about a month, Matthews grandfather has been working in Hampton, Va repairing the courthouse roof. Two weekends ago, Matthew and I went with him. (We stayed at a friends house in town there). The first weekend, Matthew had no problems, he got along well with everyone there and even said 'please and thank you' when needed. This past weekend was a totally different story. We arrived at the house early Saturday morning and Matthew took off towards the room where we stayed before and hid under the bedspread. When I went to check on him, he was crying terribly! I asked him what was wrong and he cried out that the old man in the kitchen chair scared him. I took him into the kitchen and went through the 3 men that were there (including his own grandfather) He said none of the 3 were the man he was scared of. He said the one that scared him was the man in the chair at the far end of the table. (the table was pushed tight into this chair, up against the wall, no way anyone could have fit there)But Matthew described him as an older white man with white hair. He said that the mans legs hurt and he had to use a cane.He didn't know the mans name. Then he took off back into the bedroom. The girl beside me was white as a ghost. The chair belonged to her father, who had died in December 2000. She said that her father had whitish/grey hair and towards the end of his life, his legs got so bad that he couldn't walk. But, as far as she knew, he never used a cane. Matthew was terrible all day long. When it came time for his bath, I thought that I would have to climb into the tub with him, clothes and all! And I was getting fed up enough to do it. Anyway, when the girl (the one that her father owned the chair) left, Matthew came out of the bedroom a totally different child. He was laughing and playing, like nothing had gone wrong all day. But by that time, all I could do was lay across the bed and cry. When I finally composed myself enough to go into the livingroom, I asked Matthew why he changed so suddenly. He said that when the girl left, the man left also.
 
Dear Mattsgranma,

I really really hope you have someone you can talk to, to advise you - that you trust regarding Matthew experiences. Someone close to you. Did you take Carols advise and suggestion on who to contact? Matt is a VERY special young man, and your telling of his experiences here on the forum, very much appreciated and enjoyed.

Don't cry....Matt will be fine, probably more so than most children. Your threads are so long, and I have been so busy at school, I do not recall if I mentioned or if someone else mentioned the following book to you.

It is called Children of the New Millennium and the Evolution of Mankind by P.M.H. Atwater.

Stay grounded - emotionally, trust your feelings, and broaden your own horizons through books like the one mentioned above-- in order to help yourself, Matthew and his Mother understand.

I also HOPE you are keeping a journal of all of his experiences - with dates????

------------------
Love and Light,
Deborah

Hi mattsgma:

Everytime I hear something new about Matthew, I am completely amazed! He is indeed very special. It didn't surprise me, though, that the man left when the girl did. I wonder what it was about the man that frightened him though- was it because he knew it was a ghost, and he is afraid of ghosts? Or, was it something about this particular ghost that triggered something in him?

Are you able to journal any of these incidents?

I've almost completed "Children's Past Lives" and have bought "Return to Heaven." I don't have kids myself (Just cats, and we have been together before!) But I am so fascinated by the information that Carol offers. She writes without a whole bunch of jargon, therefore pulls me into all of the research she has done.

Everytime you feel like crying and get discouraged, just imagine that myself and all the wonderful people here are sending you angels to comfort you.

Mattsgma, {{{{HUGS}}}}

I know that these things are overwhelming for you. I've been where you are at with my daughter, and without much understanding.

Please don't make the mistakes that I made. My greatest concerns were her social skills, or what I perceived as a lack there of....and what kind of an impression she was making socially. And it felt like it was a reflection on me, and what and who I was as a mother.

My poor child heard the words, "what is wrong with you", so many times from friends, teachers, other adults, that I began to believe that there was something wrong with her, and in turn she began to believe it to.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Matthew. And don't you believe that for one minute.

You would greatly benefit from meditation. I believe it would give you a great sense of peace, and open you up to some greater understanding as far as Matthew is concerned.

Also, there is no need to be fearful where ghosts/spirits are concerned. And you don't have to put up with their presences. However, I do understand where our exposure to contrary thoughts on this get in the way of trusting that this is true.

I would suggest that you get in touch with Bob who has been a regular on this board. He has a website called uaredivine.com. He lives in an area in North Carolina, Asheville where children like Matthew are prevalent, I believe. I really think he could be a great help to you in guiding you to a greater understanding.

You are blessed.

Hi Crow Eyes and Grama,
More hugs Mattsgama!!! I know all of our thoughts are with you both. Nothing hurts more than when you watch loved ones suffer-especially little ones.I honor you for your commitment to Matt.
I have also been in touch with Bob. He is a wellspring of comfort and insight. Truly a gift. I have had some trouble getting to his website lately. I guess it has been changed to youaredivine.com
as opposed to uaredivine.com. Try that and see if you can get in. Bob has done a healing on both of my children and myself. It was very enlightening and reassuring. He does not have to speak to Matt directly to do this. Hope this can help. Laurel
 
Hi! It has been a while, hasn't it?! Matthew was sick for Christmas, in fact, we ended up taking him to the emergency room on December 26th. He ended up having pnemonia. He was a sick little boy for about a week and 1/2. He is just now getting his appetite and energy back. In fact, he just today realized that he got a bike for Christmas!! He is also back to his 'normal' self with his 'talking'. Earlier, he asked me if I wanted to go to the future with him. When my husband asked him what he knew about the future, Matthew just told him that 'his friend had told him all about the future'.
 
I realize that this really doesn't have anything to do with Matthew but something really 'weird' just happened. I woke up for the morning but I couldn't move. It was like my whole body was drained and there was nothing left inside of me. But my body was so heavy feeling. I was trembling. It was so heavy that I couldn't move. After a couple of minutes, I remembered having a weird dream. I had died and could see everyone around me. There was a person beside me who was also dead. It's like something off of "Bewitched". We were both in the air just sitting there with our legs folded like an indian. I can remember trying to talk and reach out to a female (don't remember who it was} and I asked this person beside me if this girl could hear me, and the person said 'No, but she can feel you." It was so real and I cannot explain how weird I felt upon waking up. I couldn't breathe the weight was so heavy.
 
Hi Mattsgma,

Sounds to me like you had an OBE (Out of Body Experience). It's not uncommon, and certainly nothing to be afraid of.

I'm certain Deborah, or Kelly, or Susie or anyone else on the board can give you some better insight on this. Have some patients, someone else will notice your post soon.

Blessings,
Croweyes
 
Hi Mattsgrma

It does sound very much like an OBE (out-of-body experience)...we can often experience these OBE's in our dreams, but rarely remember them upon waking...sounds like quite an experience.


------------------
Lots of Love

Hi Matt's Grandma:

Yep, sounds like an out of the body experience to me. I always seem to remember re-entering my body, which has made my bed shake(well, at least it felt like it was shaking!) It sounds like you went to another place/dimension- maybe the person who you thought was dead was also having an OBE at the same time and you met up.

By the way, an out of the body experience is perfectly safe. I've read that our soul is connected to our body with a long golden cord.

Matthew watching tv and a commercial came on with a man singing 'The Ballad of the Green Beret'. Matthew started singing with it. He said he always loved that song.
 
Matt and I talking yesterday. He started talking about his friend again. I asked him what his friends name was. Matthew sat there for a few minutes and just said 'Ya know, I just can't remember'. He hasn't been talking about 'things' lately the way that he has in the past. Is it time for him to be forgetting things now?
 
Hi Mattsgrma

A lot of children start lacking clarity and losing touch with their memories and innocence once they begin school and are put into our "society" - it is the same with tribal/untouched cultures that are forced or introduced to "civilization"...we start being told what is right and wrong, what is black and white, what is hot and cold, etc...and all these "facts" layer over our childhood free thinking minds unfortunately...which is why journals are SO invaluable during these years.

It's possible Matt may still remember for quite a while yet, maybe in less numbers, maybe more...but he has reached the age, when a lot of our purer memories begin to get tainted by modern life and living.

something 'weird' happened last week! Wednesday, my sister came over and forgot her prescription sunglasses. I called to let her know so Thursday she came back to get them. We searched the whole house, no sunglasses! No- one had been back to get them and no-one had moved them. I laughed and told her that our dad had gotten them so they wouldn't get lost. Well, over the weekend, she went to get in her truck and the sunglasses were on the seat. Have no clue how they got there.
 
Hi Mattsgma,

Not to get too off-topic, but I couldn't help chuckling when I read your story about the sunglasses.

In my previous residence, I routinely had stuff disappear for days at a time and then suddenly reappear someplace strange (like under a bed, where I never would have put it) several days later. One time one of the interior doors slammed shut, even though I was alone in the apartment, the a/c was not on and all the windows were closed. My cat seemed to "see" whatever it was right before it happened, because she ran past me (away from the door) at full speed with her tail completely puffed out! After the door slammed shut I felt a blast of icy cold air rush past me. After several months of this I had had enough, stood in the middle of the apartment and announced very loudly that I did not appreciate the pranks and while I was sure they were just having fun, it was freaking me out - and sure enough, it stopped. I thought "they" might follow me when I moved into my house but so far, if they're here, they've been quiet - no pranks. I don't have any feel for who they are. Sometimes I wish I did, just because I'm curious.

A friend of mine spent part of her childhood in an old home in Scotland and said that while they had their backs turned or were in another room, things that normally were inside drawers or closets would suddenly appear in other parts of the room; or they would come home and find stuff strewn about the floor, but with all the doors and windows still locked from the inside. I think most of the time, it's just spirits having a bit of (usually harmless) fun. So even though I'm sure it seemed annoying or strange when it happened, try not to worry about how the sunglasses got in the truck!

Greetings, Mattsgama!

I'm fascinated by your son's desire to tell you about the future because I'd love to hear what he's been told before he forgets it,wouldn't you? Who knows, he may have information that may save lives. If you can get him to talk more about it, I'd love to hear what he says.

You indicated your son feels fear around certain unseen persons, also in the night (i.e., when he indicated he didn't want to go somewhere). It sounds like a negative force is "messing around" with your son's soul. "God is love" and not the author of fear. Also, "perfect love casts out fear." Therefore, whatever is causing him fear is not good and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

You can pray and ask God to surround him with guardian angels day and night to protect him. Who knows, God may even allow you to see his guardian angel(s) some time when you least expect it but need it - like He did for me one night.
 
Tonight, for a period of maybe 15 to 20 min., Matthew acting very scared of something. Said that a man was outside. He wouldn't go to the bathroom by himself, he wouldn't even go to his room and get his hotwheels without one of us watching him. We told him that he was being ridiculous but went along with him anyway. (I hate to admit it, but we were 'fussing' at him the whole time). My brother came to the door a few minutes later and said that when he was coming down the road, he saw someone wearing a black hooded jacket in our yard, but when he got out of the truck to find out who it was, the guy took off running. Could Matt have sensed that there was someone outside?
 
Hi Mattsgma,

Absolutely. Children's senses are very strong and they can usually pick up on sublte energetic changes that adults sometimes cannot. It sounds like that guy standing outside did not have the best of intentions.

Matthew telling us this morning about how his coach, Joe Miller, worked real hard with him. Said that he was his 'climbing' coach. At the time, Matthew was climbing on the back of the sofa.
 
Hi Mattsgrama,

Even though some of Matt's ideas and words might seem awefully strange sometimes, I think it's important for you guys to be listenting to them, as silly as they seem. Intuition is a very positive force and it sounds like Matt's doing a great job at listening to his. Sometimes we all 'know' things without knowing where it comes from.

Hope you're having a great day, Take Care, -Kathy.

Hello Mattsgma

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy reading about Matthew's experiences.
Actually in the last couple of days I was wondering how he was doing, and I came back to this site. (been away for a couple of months)

I hope that he doesn't lose his gift.
He sounds like an extraordinary child and I want to wish him the best of everything.

Thank you so much for sharing with us.

We were watching the discovery channel tonight with Matthew and it was about how things in space could (and do) collide with things on earth. Matthew was very interested in all of this. I looked at him off and on and you could tell by the look on his face that he was totally engrossed in this program. A picture came up of astronauts working on something in space and the earth was in the background. Matthew said 'That's the earth right there, isn't it?' I said yes, and asked him who told him about what the earth looked like. (We had talked to him about the globe, but as far as I can remember, we hadn't really talked about the earth or other planets) He said 'Remember when I told you about how my friend and I went up into the sky and our shuttle blew up?, Well, I remember looking back and seeing the earth and thats what it looked like.' (It's gonna take me a few minutes to get over this one)
