In the course of my former ministry, I worked with a number of harassment victims who'd either had an imaginary friend as a child, or who had a child who had an imaginary playmate. In some cases, this imaginary friend first made an appearance in a time of stress or trauma. In some, for children who habitually talked to a doll or stuffed animal, the doll or teddy bear suddenly began talking back! A friend's daughter had a stuffed duck named Quack that she used to play with everyday. After using a Ouija Board with her friends, Quack began to "talk to her." Her brothers teased her mercilessly about carrying on conversations with Quack, often reducing Sally to tears. Finally Quack disappeared. Sally had loved Quack. He'd been her best friend. But when her dad asked what had happened to her duck, Sally said her brothers had teased her so much that she'd finally killed him. Though I'm no longer in touch with Sally or her family, I'm certain the spirits who spoke to Sally through Quack are still in her life as an adult. It is not uncommon for parents whose child has an imaginary friend to name the friend and set an extra place at the table! While this may cause no problem in many cases, for parents who have ever dabbled in the occult, this is an open invitation for spirits to come into their child's life. In the case of a family who lived in a haunted house, there was a spirit who would play with their toddler, keeping the child occupied for hours at a time. This spirit would go up and down the stairway carrying the child's balloon. The parents had their house on the market, and were planning to invite the "ghost" to go with them when they moved to their new home. At that time I was still involved with the spirit realm myself, so I was in no position to advise them. In another case, a lonely adolescent girl acquired a "friend" through the use of a home-made Ouija Board. She would talk to her Ouija Board friend for hours, believing it to be the spirit of a girl named Jessica. Of course this wasn't the spirit of a girl. It was a demonic spirit. A woman who'd had an imaginary friend as a child had acquired it as a result of her sister's holding a séance and giving her to Satan! The imaginary friend represented itself as a man approximately four feet tall with skin the color and texture of clay. Her family had named this "imaginary man" Fred. At times when Margo was lonely or sad, Fred would keep her company. As an adult, Margo was horribly harassed. When she and her husband would go shopping, her arms would flail as if she suffered from Turrett's. When her husband talked to her, Margo would involuntarily roll her eyes toward the ceiling as if she doubted the truth of her husband's words. When lying down, Margo's body would twitch and be twisted by an unseen force into uncomfortable and unusual positions. It turned out that Margo was possessed by the group of spirits representing themselves as Fred. There were nine Fred's in all. When the possessive spirits had been cast away (not an easy task), Margo's behavior returned to normal. If your child has an imaginary friend, chances are that's all it is -- simply a product of your child's imagination. But I suggest you take stock of your own life to determine whether or not you've ever done anything to open the door for demonic spirits to harass your child. If the answer is "Yes," there's a strong possibility that your child's "imaginary friend" is actually a demonic spirit.
