So your Child Sees Ghosts...Now What?

Ever had a child whisper, “The shadow people are here,” or invite you to meet their “ghost friend” in the bathroom? That moment jolts the nervous system—and it can also be a doorway to real understanding. I unpack how children and even pets mirror our inner state, why intense media or emotions can open us up energetically, and how to respond with calm, clarity, and boundaries when the unseen shows up in your home.

I share my early encounters, including portals opened by scary films and a childhood “entity” I didn’t realize I’d created, and how that history resurfaced years later when my nine-year-old started seeing shadow figures. 

I talk about what many spiritual schools miss: literacy around dark forces. Think of it like nature—mosquitoes and parasites exist in the physical, and opportunistic energies exist in the unseen. Denial isn’t protection; discernment is. You’ll hear clear, compassionate steps for parents: validate the report, regulate your own system, ask grounded questions, and set simple light-aligned boundaries (learn bedtime hygiene & space clearing techniques with Astral Armor).

When a child repeatedly senses something, it’s often signaling the parent’s field. Patterns don’t mean blame; they point to levers you can actually pull—simplifying inputs, steadying emotions, and closing energetic loops. If outside help is needed, I explain what ethical, consent-based support looks like, why fear-based tactics backfire, and how to leave the process more sovereign than you started. By the end, you’ll have a practical framework to keep your home coherent, your children seen and safe, and your own intuition online without sensationalism.

SPEAKER_00: 0:05

Welcome to Unveil the podcast. I'm your host, Angela Christian, and I help you with unveiling your true self by peeling away the layers that society placed on you. I do this with a combination of neuroscience, energetics, and ancient spiritual wisdom. I went from underpaid and overworked in corporate America to launching a six-figure company that continues to grow. I went from toxic relationships to being happy and single for over a year as I work and continue to work on becoming the best version of myself and so much more. My greatest passion is to help women and mothers feel, transform, and become the highest versions of themselves. As I continue to grow and expand my intuitive knowledge and unique wisdom, I'll be including you on my journey to millions. So let's get into it. Today I have a fun podcast episode for you guys, and a little different from the last two, but still related, as you'll see. So children, even if you don't have children, this is still helpful for you because you might have experienced this in childhood. And if you don't have children, but you have pets, still applicable to you. So as you have probably heard me say, children can be our greatest teachers, our biggest reflectors. They typically reflect one parent, meaning, like my son reflects me. So if I'm in a high stress kind of state, he will act out, right? He he's getting better, but working with him on, he has been grinding his teeth. So that's my reflection tied to I'm almost, I've almost resolved it, but it's tied to putting pressure on myself to heal things and fix things so I can be somewhere in the future, right? So as I'm healing it, I'm very close to having it resolved, like 98%. His teeth grinding is a lot better. So that's what I mean about reflecting is like they will take on our health issues, our body issues, all of that. And it's the same with pets. So if a pet reflects you, it means, you know, let's say you have a lot of anger, a lot of anger and resentment. That might show up in your pet as cancer. And then they will take that on for you. And if you don't get that signal, then they could end up dying. And then it goes to you, not to be too, not to be too dark here, but that's the truth of the situation. They're trying to show you, they're messengers. And what I'm going to talk about today is something that a lot of my clients come to me with. It's some, it's something that my entire spiritual journey started with. And I've talked about it a little bit in the past, but I haven't done it in a way where I'm helping other parents. So this will be really good for you. I have some tips for you. So this is specifically around when your child comes to you and they're seeing ghosts or aliens or demons or as my daughter saw, shadow people. Uh, I'll tell you a little background of my story and then I'll share some examples of clients and like ways that you can actually help your children through these moments. That can be really scary for them, but it's actually a lot of times it's a sign for you or it's your reflection. So understanding how dark energy, the dark forces of the world works is really key right now during this pivotal time in our life, because right now it is a spiritual warfare going on. Like it is light versus dark, and more people are waking up to the reality of that. So just to kind of start from the beginning here, as you're listening, you might resonate with some things. And it's funny because the more people I work with, the more people I talk to, the more I realize, oh, I wasn't alone. Like I thought I was the weirdest child because of some of these experiences. And it's so nice when you can talk to someone who you didn't know growing up. Maybe they even live on the other side of the world and they had the same things. And that's not just like a coincidence, right? So as a child, I was very interested in the dark world, meaning I could see things as a child. And now I remember so clearly one time sleeping in like my parents' house at the time, had a windowsill, and I liked sit laying there and sleeping in the sun. And this big creature, like, I don't even know what it was. It was just a really big, it looked like a big giant man, basically, and it came and it picked me up. And I remember being terrified. And then my parents started walking towards the room and it dropped me and then it left. That memory is very clear in my head. I have so many other weird memories and stories like that. But around age eight, I was fascinated with Nightmare on Elm Street, with Jason, with Chucky, with all of these horrific movies that I would not let my children watch. Like, I don't know what my parents were thinking, but it wasn't just me. I've more people I talked to that were around my age, like they said they watched the same things in their childhood. So it wasn't just my parents. My parents also worked. Like they weren't there a lot, right? So I was obsessed with this. And I didn't know, my parents didn't know that when you're watching a scary movie and you're even if you're enjoying it, but if you get scared, if you get emotional, there's a lot of harmful technologies that they place in movies and in music that they don't talk about. It's starting to come out more now. But even just getting emotional and scared, that kind of opens up what uh we would call a portal. And when we open up that kind of portal, it invites in darkness that is not helpful, right? So around the same time as my movie obsession, I created an entity that I would talk to named Vane. So my friend and I actually created him and we called him Mr. Vane. And now I know it was a dark entity. At the time, we didn't know. We thought we were just creating our own, like, God. And so we would say, like, Mr. Vane, help us. We want to have a sleepover tonight, like just silly things like that. And he would talk to us and help us with things because there's a big misconception in the spiritual world that there's so many misconceptions that that would be an entire, well, I have a whole course on that. But one of the misconceptions is that dark entities can't heal. Well, just look at John of God. A lot of people went to him, Oprah, Gabby Bernstein, a lot of people that don't know anything about dark forces or do know, and they consciously agree to work with dark forces, right? So John of God used a higher realm dark entity to help heal. That's why he was able to do these miraculous healings because it's I do healings for my clients all the time, but I do it with light, right? You can still do it with dark. There are just a lot of repercussions. And I am going to have, if this is like brand new to you and it's your first episode, I am going to have a free series coming out on dark forces that kind of gives you the basics so that you kind of understand from a scientific perspective that just like we have light, there's dark and it's balanced. And just like we have mosquitoes in the physical world and we have parasites, there's also the energetic version of that, right? And just like I'm sure you're familiar with the term energetic vampire, right? They're people who, when you're around them, they just like drain your energy. That is all energetic. It's things you can't see, but are still happening. And in fact, our eyes only see a small portion of what's actually happening around us. So getting back to the story, dark beings, dark entities. So if you don't, if someone doesn't understand how dark energy works, they could be praying, they think they're praying to like Mother Mary or Mary Magdalene, but if they don't have a direct connection to that ascended master, they're actually praying to the dark Mother Mary or the dark Mary Magdalene. And yes, they can still give advice, they can still help things with things, but there are negative repercussions for that with your energy, with health, with other things, right? So I didn't know this at the time, I was a child. But there were, now that I'm looking back, there's a lot that I can kind of connect to this entity, like things that happened. I'm like, oh, okay, yeah, that was a direct correlation to working with this entity unknowingly, right? Then I got into the Ouija board, had terrifying things happen as a child, even as a college student. I was at a party once and we were using a Ouija board, and everybody witnessed this. So it's not like something I could have made up. But literally at one point, it was moving by itself around the board. And at one point I said, What do you want? And the little piece that goes on the Ouija board thing flew off the board at me. And we all stopped right then because I couldn't sleep for days. I had a lot of sleep paralysis issues after that. And I go into all of this and light it up, my Dark Force course that I've actually been redoing and revamping. So if this interests you and you've had similar experiences, you will be in good company there. So I've had a lot of interesting things happen as a child. But then I reached a certain point where I became terrified of scary movies. And it's something I'm currently working on because there are actually some shows out right now that portray very accurate information about the Dark Force world. The show Evil, the show Sabrina, the most recent one, not the earlier one, and the movie The Conjuring, none of which I've been able to sit down and watch. I have watched some of Sabrina, but I got a little creeped out. And it's like I can deal with these things on an energetic level, but when I'm watching it on TV, I get more emotional, right? And when we're emotional, our protections drop. And then that's when we can have heavy energy on us. So actually, a friend of mine right now is doing a timeline healing for me to help me watch these shows because yes, we can do that. And I am excited for it. Anyway, at some point, I became terrified to watch scary movies. Like I would get up and leave the movie theater. If I did happen to watch one, it would stick with me for weeks, and I just stopped. And I actually just like kind of turned my back on all of that, all of that world that I grew up in, where I could see entities, where I spoke to them, where, you know, I was immersed in that world. I just turned my back on all of it, which is typical. Usually around the age of 11 to 13, kids will turn off their gifts, sometimes even younger, because of society, right? Because society, at least it has been, uh, it kind of frowns upon kids talking about seeing ghosts and aliens, and they say, Oh, that's not true, all of that, right? So I turn my back on it. And then my oldest daughter, who's now 20, when she was nine years old, she started seeing entities. So it was around, it's interesting because it's been around the same age. Uh also my niece started seeing entities and hearing them around the age nine. So it does run in families as well. Anybody has the ability to work on opening their third eye to see the entities in 3D. But children, the veil is just thinner and they aren't as programmed. So it's easier for them to see and hear entities. So my nine-year-old, who up until then, she was just like an angel child. I mean, she still was an angel child, but at the time, I think a part of me knew what was going on subconsciously, and I was just resisting. So she started coming into my room at night saying, the shadow people are here, the shadow people are here. I had no idea what she was talking about, but she could explain them in detail. And so then I moved her into her bedroom with her sister, thinking maybe she just wants, you know, company in her bedroom. And then she would come and say, The shadow people are watching my sister in the crib. And then one time she had an experience where she said the whole room lit up in white light. The TV show she was watching just froze. And she said it felt like time had stood still. And she said a man walked in and she explained this like Victorian outfit to a T, like to the little buttons on his boots. And she would see things like that as well. And I was like, okay, something's going on. I need to investigate, right? I thought maybe the house was haunted, or I didn't know. So I found this woman who claimed to be able to clear energy out of houses, brought her in. It all did stop. So she like did something, but then it woke something up in me. And I was like, okay, I think I'm supposed to know more about this. And at the time, I had been very happy just living in the 3D world, ignorant to a lot of things and just oblivious. So then that's when in 2015, I started studying mysticism. I started studying energy healing, intuition, all of that. And me and my oldest daughter actually went to a school to learn energy healing, intuition, but they didn't teach us anything about dark forces. So when she and I were in this amazing school opening our gifts, we were also getting energetically attacked at home, not knowing what the hell was going on. I mean, if I told you, I do go into detail in my course. I'm not going to go in, I've already shared a lot here. But the things we were seeing, we were like, what is happening? So then at age 13, though, she decided, she told me, she said, Mom, I'm turning my gifts off. I just want to be a teenager. And once in a while she'll have a run-in with something, but not very often, or at least she doesn't tell me. But, you know, and then I have my other two children who my son is always inviting me into his room to meet his ghost family and to meet his alien friends. And then my younger daughter, she's always talking about, she's telling me about different entities that live in in the world, but people can't see them. And so they're very tapped in. And this is what I wanted to talk about today because my first response to my oldest daughter when she started talking about this was, you're lying. Like that doesn't exist. You're just imagining it. I, poor girl, like just refused to believe she was actually seeing that for the longest time. I spoke to someone in my uh GLH community, and her mother had had the same experience and she called them shadow people. And it's like, what are the odds? Right. And then I've heard of heard other people having similar experiences, even though I knew at this point that my daughter was telling the truth because she was such an honest child. She never lied. She was so mature. And she would tell me, like, mom, I'm not making this up. And she would stay up all night. Like, I even had to give her a Kendall and say, like, just read to yourself. And she said one night she was reading in bed and she could sense they were there, and she rolled over and she could see their profiles looking in the crib at my younger daughter. And she said, I don't think they want to hurt us. I think they're just curious. And that's exactly what the case was. So there's a lot of different types of entities out there that we're not taught as children. We just kind of lump them into things that we see on TV, right? And that's not sometimes it's accurate or close to accurate, sometimes it's not. But one of my goals is to help parents through this and which also helps the child, right? Because it's bad enough that our children get really confused with emotions, right? Because I know I've done this before, where, you know, I'll be crying or upset. And like I don't cry very often, and I definitely do not cry in front of my kids very often. I did cry the other day when I got burned because it was such a deep pain. Like I immediately burst into tears and my two little ones ran in and they were just shocked because they were like, mommy, we've never seen you cry before. Now imagine they asked me, Are you okay? And I said, I'm okay. I'm just in pain, right? I'm I'm experiencing a lot of pain right now. I would have done no favors to them if I had said, mommy's fine, even though I'm like bawling, right? And this is how we were brought up too. Like if we see our parents crying and they're like, no, mommy's fine, mommy's fine. It's like that does not teach our children emotional intelligence, right? So what I do with my kids is I really ask them, like, how are you feeling? Name your feelings. I like to be, I like to have it be a conversation. I don't just shut them down. And so that's I did kind of shut my daughter down at first when she was telling me that she was seeing these entities. And I'm glad she kept telling me because her seeing them was actually set up by my higher self so that I would get on the path that I'm on. Because dark forces, dark energy, it's one of we all have mastery skill sets in this world. And that's one of my top mastery skill sets is dark forces, dark energy, especially helping parents with children who are experiencing dark energy. So I have some tips for you today around that. If your child is telling you they're seeing things, and yes, do some children lie about seeing things when they don't? Of course, just like all kids, you know, can lie about anything. But what's really important here, and it goes along with the importance of teaching our kids emotional mastery, just like having more open conversations. It's not the 80s or the 90s anymore. We don't need to shut our children off to everything and shut them out, you know. It's like, I feel like that was very much done in the 80s and 90s. And we can choose differently. I certainly have. And I have very, and I feel like my children are very emotionally advanced for their age because of that, right? So the first thing, if a child comes to you, and this is something I had to learn the hard way, right? I did not do this perfectly with my oldest daughter, but but then I was able to choose differently with my other children. So it's okay if you did the same thing I did because nobody has taught us this, right? So if a child comes to you and says, Mommy, there's a ghost in my room, or mommy, I saw one of my clients, her son saw red demons, and he's pretty little. He's like four, and he was seeing red demons. That's what he was telling his mom. And he would have no idea what those were otherwise. Another one of my clients had, you know, their children can see demons, and another child can see aliens. And so it's really important for the parent to stay emotionally balanced. Like take a breath, tap into your five senses, calm down. I remember being really scared when my daughter was telling me this because I was like, I couldn't see it. And there were other stories that happened when we were in the school where she was seeing things right next to me and I couldn't see it. So it does feel unfamiliar at first, just like when you're learning any type of skill. So just get yourself emotionally balanced. That will emotionally balance your child, especially if they're nine and under to validate their experience. So, what I wish I wouldn't have done is said, you're lying, stop lying. You just don't want to go to sleep, like blah, blah, blah. And, you know, obviously I didn't do that for long, but I did do that at first. So I would not recommend doing that for several reasons. One, it's not going to create a healthy bond between you and your child if they don't feel comfortable expressing their fear, right? Like they could be seeing, they could 100% be seeing something that you can't. That is absolutely possible. And it normally is the case that the parent can't see it. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean they're not seeing it. So if we tell them you're not actually seeing that, that distorts their world, you know? So just taking a second, like when my son told me the other day, mommy, come into the bathroom and meet my alien friends. You see that one right there, see his smile. Like, I immediately started clearing them. But I was like, oh yeah, okay, sure, I see that. And it's not going to encourage them to like make things up or anything like that. In fact, if you have a big response to it, then that's more likely to create some kind of desire to keep getting a big reaction out of you, right? So it's actually better for both of you for many reasons if you just take a second and you're like, oh, okay, tell me more. That's what I say. The other day, my child was telling me that I heard them talking and I said, Oh, who are you talking to? And he said, Oh, my ghost friend. And I said, Oh, what's your ghost friend telling you? Oh, how he died. I was like, Oh, tell me more. And so I just ask for more information. And then pretty soon he's just, and I obviously know how to clear that. So I cleared the ghost, but I validate them and I don't tell them they're crazy or they're lying or anything else that is actually really harmful for their confidence and their gifts, right? Because this is why we all closed our gifts down. Because nobody as children, or most of us, our parents probably didn't believe us. Like I know I had so many terrifying incidents, and my parents were just like, no, you're just imagining it. No, that didn't really happen. So pretty soon you just shut off your gifts because you're like, well, I guess it's not really happening then. But even though you shut off your gifts and you can't see it, there's still damage that can be done, even though you can't see it. They can be draining your energy, they can be taking pieces of your chakras. There's all kinds of things that can be happening if you can't see it, right? So just hiding your head in the sand does not protect you from any of this. In fact, knowledge is power, just like with anything else. So the third thing I'll talk about today is if it's a child, I would say uh, like below 10, it's likely your reflection. And it would be essential for you to figure out what's going on. Because, for example, my niece who hears um entities it's like at the same time every night, she can hear an entity calling her name, doing all these creepy things, it's actually not attached to her. This is like a bigger topic, but it's actually a sign from my siblings, higher self, that they need to get on their path. And it's going to keep happening until they get on their path. But the thing is, when our kids reflect us, if we don't resolve the reflection that's in them before they become like nine, then they take the reflection on through adulthood. So this is why it is so key to get our emotions dialed in, to notice the communication that's around us all the time. Everything's always communicating to you. Your guides are communicating to you, your higher self. So if your child is experiencing this, it would be really important for you to take the time and figure out what the message is for you. So I hope that was helpful. That was definitely fun for me. It's probably one of my favorite topics. But if you have any questions, I do offer dark energy scans. So basically, you can purchase one for you or your child, or you can purchase one for each. And what I'll do is I'll look in and see what's going on. And if it's something simple and I get permission from your higher self, I will just clear it for you. If it's a little more complex, then we would just talk about like what would need to happen. It's just very unique to each person. Like Dark Forces is not a one size fits all. It's very, very unique to each person. So that's why in my course, Light It Up, I offer one-on-one Telegram access to me after you learn each clearing, because I want to make sure you understand it. This isn't something I want to just give to you and be like, okay, good luck. Go figure it out. I want to look in and make sure, yes, you got that, you're good, move on. So I feel very passionate about this for obvious reasons because of experiencing all of this as a child and then my children experiencing this. And there's just more and more children who are very tapped in. And I see it as one of my objectives and missions to help the parents of those kids and to help ultimately the children as well, right? Oh, before I forget, I did launch a mentorship. I know some of you already know, some of you have joined. I have three spots left. So in this mentorship, I will drop the sign-up link below. I'm only taking on five people right now. I might open up more after this initial round, but I'm taking five people at only$4.99 a month. Or if you pay in full for the three months, you get a kickoff call with me. Each month you'll get a read. Uh, you'll get healings in the beginning of the month. You get Monday through Wednesday Telegram access to me to ask questions about reflections, dark forces, anything. It really pairs well if you're already learning intuition or reflections. Like I've had two people join who are learning these things. And so I'm able to be a coach and a mentor for them in addition to giving them reads and healings. And in the last part of the month, I do an energetic boost for you, just so that you're feeling really good and clear for the time that we're working together. So you can check that out. You can email me or reach out on Instagram if you have any questions. But once I reach five, I will close it and then I'll relaunch again in a few months, but it will be at a much higher price. So just wanted to share that with you guys. And yeah, have a wonderful week. Thank you for listening to Unveiled. I always love hearing your takeaways. So please connect with me on Instagram at AngelaMurieChristian and feel free to tag me and share it with your friends. Every single review matters, and it helps me reach more people who want to improve this game. If you leave a review, let me know and I'll send you a little thank you gift.
