Can your 2 year being seeing ghost?

How do you tell if you can see ghosts?

If you think you see ghosts, give it a week or so to actually see if you really do. If you believe you do see ghosts, I will tell you if you do or dont. I see ghosts myself and will tell you that when you do see a ghost and you are a child you may start out by seeing things out of the corner of your eye. They will look like shadowy black figures. When you go to look at what is you find that it is not there. Once you hit the age of 11 you are still seeing the figures but starting to see the faces. Soon as you get older you will see them. They can tell if you can see them. So they will just stare at you like they do to me. It creeps me out. Good luck!! =D

How do you spot a ghost?

Ghosts aren't always spotted like people imagine - a figure in a white sheet or a see-through figure floating off the ground. I have found that the best way to spot ghosts are in photographs. Ghosts come through in photographs as orbs of light. A lot of people will think this is a glare or a trick of the camera, but with digital cameras, it is much easier to see what you're taking a picture of and see for yourself that there is no glare. If you have the right environment, and you are seeing orbs in pictures, then you are seeing ghosts! The veil between the human world and the spirit world in the fall in October and November. This is the best time to try to spot ghosts.
