Sixth Sense

Sometimes Josh "sees" people that Tim and I don't.  I don't know if they are imaginary friends he has created or something else.  I do believe children are more open to seeing things that as adults we block out and choose not to see. 
He has seen a man in our front yard.  He has told us his Grandpa Buchanan's Grandma told him to "bless us" one night at dinner.  He did see a girl who drove a black car who wasn't nice to him.  She would "yell at him" and "pinch him".  I never saw any evidence of this. 
When I started watching Jonathan he stopped saying he was seeing people that we weren't.  So, I kinda blew it off as him making up imaginary friends to keep himself occupied because he is an only child.
But recently it has started back up.  There are two girls, both named "Sally".  They visit him pretty frequently.  He tells me they hug and kiss and play together and they read to him.  He calls them his "girlfriends"  Only one visits him at a time.  He says that they are 5 years old and have long blond hair and live in a high school.  He tells me they are at home most of the time.  They seem to be harmless whether they are real or not. 
It really freaks me out!
