Phantom, ghost, spirit, supernatural, mythical creatures and or evil thoughts are just common mistaken thoughts by adults for simple imaginary friends. Imaginary friends, What are those? Are they real? Do they posses evil or spiritual powers? where do they came from? These are just simple questions from an innocent mind who doesn't know about a very great wonderful thing that a special mind can have-Imaginary Friends.
Having an imaginary friends, imaginary worlds or imaginary life inside the head is Normal. Some of the people have these kind of special creativity. Based on what I've found out, approximately most of the children aged 3 up to even adulthood have these greatly creative thoughts called Imaginary friends. All of us fantasize things and people, all of us imagine situations, things and thoughts. Imagination and fantasy are just simply normal creative things. Some intellectuals have extra-ordinary imagination while some have mental illnesses and personality disorders.
Having imaginary friends is odd, strange or bizarre, again for those who have an innocent mind of knowing these kinds of wonderful creative things. the reason why people judge the greatly creative people with imaginary friends is that they are numb to feel one's amazing creativity. Judgmental people lack of sympathy for these greatly creative people. They even say that these intellectuals were spiritually possessed and or have mental disorders. They are entirely wrong. They are the ones who have mental impairments. So, who is mentally ill? Is the one who's being judged by his real creativity or the one who judges and criticize one's creativeness? Obviously, the latter. The fact why these judgmental people judge creative people is that because the shadow of ignorance is dominating over them and their innocent brains can"t accept the fact of the limitation of their mind with creativity and their brains can"t cover the wide range of critically creative thoughts. In short, they are mentally challenged.
You may even think that I'm too defensive about these intellectuals who have these amazing creativeness, the reason is because I have those imaginary thoughts and friends too. I have those and nobody knows. And it's really awful to think that even your family thinks that there's probably something wrong with you. I have lots of friends in real life but none of them is like me, I mean who has imaginary friends too so I really thought I'm crazy but glad to know that there are a lot of individuals who have these special creative things. I have friends in our place but I'm not close with them and it feels like I'm all isolated. Since I was a kid I neither have friends who play with me nor siblings because I was away from them. It seemed like In'm living in an aquarium full of magical things. An aquarium, too far from the sea. Yet, I'm used to it and I'm happy.
The reason why children, teens or even adults have imaginary friends is that there's something lacking in them. Because of a thing, or two or perhaps more, they are probably depressed, frustrated and worried. Somehow, some of them were abused while young, there's something bothers them and or they had no one to express to. And this could lead up to mental or personality disorders. However, having imaginary friends is natural. From the lacking things in you, your brain creates its own creative way to be able to cope to what it must be filled in. So then you developed imaginary friends. Creativity rules our mind.
Creativity is more important than knowledge. What is the use of knowledge if you can't use it in a way that could change one's life. Creativity leads knowledge for it to be able to be used in a right and amazing way.
