• My 3-year-old nephew was at my cottage. He’s asked me numerous times about the “girl over there” while pointing at one of the back bedrooms. I live alone so I just dismiss it as a really active imagination.
  
  Then some friends are visiting and they have a daughter around the same age. Twice in one day, she asked about the “pretty girl” while pointing at the exact same room. Definitely caught me off guard and I didn’t know what to think.
  
  Then at Christmas, my family was over at my place and my nephew points at a picture of my wife and asks if she’s coming to visit us here or does she just stay at the cottage. My wife died 10 years ago. infowin / reddit
