Children who see dead people

This is a good article on The Daily Mail about young children who have seen apparitions. The comments are also mostly positive.


[/url][url=https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6422933/These-children-invisible-friends-really-existed.html]Mummy, I see dead people! These children all have invisible friends who really existed - and can give details about them that they would have no way of finding out for themselves

That is a fascinating article, and the comments also report potential instances of reincarnation.

Then we heard from: Dr Stephen Westgarth, a member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, a consultant child psychiatrist and medical director of Child Psychiatry UK, says such behaviour is normal for a young child.

‘Children’s imaginative worlds are limitless, and don’t contain the same social and physical rules of the adult world.

Such a response seems utterly pathetic - you can't explain veridical observations - even in a young child - by an appeal to imagination - unless perhaps imagination is something rather more like remote viewing!

If 'experts' think this behaviour is 'normal', it explains why to little research is done on this fascinating subject.

@Max_B I can't see what the language of neural nets can usefully contribute to this discussion. Tell me how to design a Neural Net that can access the names and faces of dead people!
