Do The Spirits Like to Visit Children?

You ask what lead me to be so intrigued with ghost hunting?  This comes from when I was little.  Oh lets say I was about 8 or 10 years old.  I was always afraid of the dark.  I never could sleep with my light off.  When the lights were off I would always see movement and shadows in my hall of my home.  No one died in the home but I would see them.   I would cry about leaving on the light.  I was just scared.  Did I have spirits around me then?  Maybe?  Then again – not sure of my age, my older sister had a slumber party.  She and all her friends were in the back yard at night.  They were having a seance or were using the Ouija Board at the picnic table.  I was watching from the back door window because my mother would not allow me to go out with them.  The phone then rings and it is one of the girls mother calling.  (you know she was checking on them)  She wanted to talk to her daughter so my mother opened the door and shouted for the friend to come in and speak with her mother.   I was still watching in the dark out the door wishing I could be joining them.  To my surprise, in the spot where the girl was sitting there was a dark shadow or a outline of a spirit and all I could see was the green eyes and the outline.  Whom ever they were trying to reach.  They did come through. Of course it frightened me but I never saw it again after that.
