A family went camping in an isolated forest with plans to hike to a majestic waterfall the following morning. The youngest, a seven-year-old boy was playing within parents' sight. The mother noticed he was very animated in his solo playing with a small toy truck he'd packed. She went about preparing the evening meal, glancing back at her son now and then as he played, talking and laughing. At dinner time around the campfire, she asked him how he enjoyed playing with the new truck. He said he especially liked the new friend, Jimmy that came with the toy. His mother shrugged it off as pure imagination. That night the family retired in their tent. In the morning, they were panicked - their son was missing. Outside the tent, they found the name Jimmy scratched into the ground and beside it was the toy truck. The little boy was never found. Next time your child talks about an invisible friend, don't chalk it up to imagination. It just might be something disguised as a child ghost.
