Jamie

Hi! I was wondering if there is a way to tell the difference between a spirit and imaginary friend? My son talks to people that I don’t see and he tells me that it’s his angel grandpa and that they drink tea with honey together!  Also says that his baby cousin comes and plays with his toys!  Could it really be them?  My son is 3 so I don’t know if it’s real or not!  His dad did lose his father so his grandpa is an “angel” and I did just recently lost a nephew! And my son just knows to much about his grandpa that no one had mentioned to him!
