Woke up at 3am, and checked on our daughters crib-cam. A little disconcerting.

In 1987 I obtained an infant child and and an agreement from her alcoholic parents for social experimentation. I had a theory that automatic denial of the unexplainable is a learned behavior, and that a child is a perfect conduit for actual sight of the other side.

The girl, who I called Susan, was socially ignored for the first months of her life, and I took her soon after, as my attempts at a newborn were falling woefully short. I provided all Susan's material needs, except I did not deny any of her claims of modify any of her behavior. I made sure she drew from her imagination, while not providing her any contact with other people or television.

When she was 2 and 4 months, I began finding the results I was looking for. She said she spent a lot of time with a woman with hands instead of feet, and extra hands on each arm. I could see her on video feed interacting with this woman, while I possessed no visual indication there was anyone there. One day she asked me for a "Raggy Andy" and said the woman said it was a toy every girl had. I spent days reviewing tape to make sure I had not accidentally revealed anything about the doll. I reviewed the tape of her asking supposed thin air about the "Raggy Andy" for hours. She would often wake surprised and speak to the woman, having full conversations, drawing pictures of the woman for me, and learning numerous things I had never mentioned.

When I tried to publish my findings on our learned willful ignorance of the other side, the state took Susan from me.

If you are interested in being part of something bigger than all of us, let me know and we can work something out. I have money. If not at least consider this. If your child mentions an "imaginary" friend, or says something unexplainable, don't stifle her. Don't train her mind to be blind like we all are.
