Children ,animals and the paranormal

My beliefs on why the paranormal has such a strong effect on kids and animals . I believe that children are so innocent and the have not been contaminated by society that their minds are open to things that the majority of adults can not see because of it being breed ,taught or even brain washed .How ever you want to put it .Animals just have that natural ability to see, hear ,and smell things that humans can not.Maybe it is a protective thing that the human brain does to protect people from being scared.

I agree both my kids and animals are able to see and hear things and will sometimes pick up on it at the same time I was taught as a child you didnt speak of things like that my children will not be treated like this I know how it feels for people to tell me its all in your head and I felt alone and it scared me I think if some people would listen to there children and quit throwing it off as imagination sometimes maybe but for the most part that imagnary friend might not be so imagnary!
