10 years ago we lived in a small house behind a cemetery in Afton.MO. My oldest daughter (who was 2 at the time)would run and play through the house chasing her imaginary friend. She would run in circles just giggling and laughing as if someone was right there. One day as she was running in circles as usual the suddenly she stopped looked up at the ceiling and started crying..Saying Daddy jo jo left. You scared him away. I just smiled and said he will be back sweetie. That afternoon we were driving by a cemetery when our daughter spoke up from the backseat and said Hey look it's baby Jesus garden. I asked where she ever heard someone call a cemetery a garden.. She replied jo jo told me. hmmm. That night she was running playing with her friend as usual when she ran right for the brick wall stopping less than one inch from the tip of her nose from the wall spun around just crying saying jo jo left again. The next day a couple of neighbors were walking by and stopped to chit chat. If wasn't long before one of them asked if we were having imaginary friend issues with our child. After we said yes, They told us about there children and there friend "joe"..The husband and I went over to the cemetery and found a grave belonging to a small child Joseph Walker 9 years of age.. We moved.
