Five-year-old son, mother relates, conversed with still-born “older brother” who was in the afterlife

Some imaginary friends are not imaginary.

The following is one of the many, many anecdotes told to me by trustworthy individuals suggesting life after death.

And it so happens I have met both the individuals living “on this side” who were involved.  (I have slightly changed the first names.)

Lara is a very nordic-looking Finlander of un certain âge  whose son, Brad, is an engineer over in Denmark. He and I had several conversations at the local tavern when he came to the UP to visit his mother.

Anyway, here is the story from Lara:

“My first child was a boy, David, and  he was born stillborn. The umbilical cord wrapped around his neck as he came out — and he strangled.  He was a beautiful boy. The nurses showed him to me.

Years later, I had Brad. And when Brad was five, he was talking. like, into thin air. I asked him whom he was talking to.

And he said to me: ‘David. David is my brother who died.’

I had never told him before that moment that he had a brother who was stillborn, nor that his name had been David.”
