More than likely the mutually reinforced fantasy of a couple of previously lonely little girls attempting to seal their new found friendship with a special and shared memory. Not an unknown or rare phenomenon in itself.

Namchuck, you weren't there for the first experience I'd posted, you weren't there for the one you're referring to above, and you weren't there for any of the others I could talk about. You have no basis for speaking into my experience or making judgements about our physical health or mental-health, or the level of our education... It wasn't your experience. You, quite simply, weren't there, you don't know what happened.

your adolescent, or pre-adolescent, and admittedly sleep-deprived, personal interpretations of what you and your friend think happened during an cognitively immature part of your life remains dubious as indicative of the reality of "spirits" existing outside of the mind.

But, again, that's just my view.

Which is, again, why it is my experience and not your evidence. So, please do not continue to insult me with these ideas, as if I have never thought about them, or researched them, or studied them in my years at college (I'm one or two courses away from a B.A. in psychology and have studied it outside of college as well). I have. These "rational" ideas, while they have their merit and their place, don't measure up to any of the given experiences that I've had.
