Blain And His Imaginary Friend Rachel - A Ghost Story

It is not uncommon for a child to have an imaginary friend. Perhaps you had one as a child or even know of a child who has one now. There are many who have had strange experiences with children and their imaginary friends. Often these things make us wonder, is it possible for an imaginary friend to be a ghost? Personally, after learning of so many experiences, I believe that a childs imaginary friend can be a ghost.
Our family has had several ghost experiences, but this one is about my cousin's son who had an imaginary friend.
This cousin and his wife moved into a house in Fort Wayne, Indiana that was owned by our great aunt. Their son Blain was three at that time. They would hear Blain talking to someone all the time and playing house or having a tea party. They would ask him who he was talking to, and he would say his friend.
They thought it was quite alright that he had an imaginary friend and thought nothing of it, until that was all he wanted to do, and strange things started to happen. At times things were not always where they left them and the attic door was always left open.
Nikki, my cousin Troy's wife, would often smell women's perfume when she walked into the boys room or where he was playing with his friend. She got upset about this and started to ask Blain questions about his friend. He told them that his friend was a young lady about the age of his mom. She had dark hair and skin and was very beautiful. When she asked what her name was the boy told her it was Rachel.
Time went on and he continued to play with her and she thought nothing of it. Then one day they were visiting our great aunt and the boy saw a picture on the wall of her house. He asked why she had a picture of his friend on the wall. Nikki asked him if that was Rachel and he said yes.
My great aunt and my cousin about had a heart attack. He was seeing my great aunts daughter Rachel who had died in the house 10 years before. She had died when two blood vessels in her head burst at the age of 28.
My cousin never told his wife the house's history fearing she would not want to live there. They lived there for two years and the whole time he continued to play with her. And they became quite comfortable knowing a family member watched over there son.
Blain is now 11 and still remembers her and how nice she was to him. My aunt still owns this house and rents it out and people have asked if it is haunted. The people that have asked have children that have an imaginary friend named Rachel and report the same thing Troy and Nikki and Blain experienced.
