I was always shy so I didn't talk much anyway, LOL. But I always smiled at them, Most times they said hi first, especially the older spirits. You know the grandma and grandpa type. I don't remember any of them asking me for help. I did come across the scary ones. Standing there, just staring at me. Sometimes it was at night to.
When it happened at night I ran into my parents room and climbed into their bed. Which happened alot. If it happened during the day, I usually ran away and found someone to stay with. Of course they din't know why I was soscared, and I never told them. My guess is that they were probably the ones that needed my help. But I didn't understand that then. Now I do, and I help if I can.
