With only a few words at his disposal, pointing anxiously to the empty stairwell and screaming. Not everything children say can be dismissed as ‘a vivid fantasy’.
Anouk (29), mother of Axel (3):
“Axel was just two years old and was able to say a few words as he stood up in his crib and pointed his finger at the stairwell: ‘That mama, that one.’ He looked very scared. However, I saw nothing. He started to scream louder and louder: ‘That, that, no!’
“My husband and I didn’t see anything, but our two cats apparently did”
The following evenings the ritual was repeated. My husband and I didn’t see anything, but our two cats apparently did. They stared at the same dark corner.

Suddenly I remembered that the people from whom we had recently bought this house had lost their daughter shortly before. I don’t know what. I do believe in the supernatural, so I asked Axel, “Do you see a lady?” He nodded yes. I again: ‘Should Mommy tell that lady to go?’ He very loudly: ‘Yes woman gone!’
“Weird, but true, since then Axel has never called again”
With him on my arm I went to the stairwell and asked aloud if she wanted to leave our house because she scared my child. Strange, but true, since then Axel has never called again.”
