Last week I linked to a video uploaded by Jaime Primak Sullivan on her Youtube channel and Facebook account, which apparently showed her little 4-year-old daughter Charlie ‘delivering’ a message from Jaime’s grandmother, who died last November.
A number of members –the big bossman himself included– expressed an understandable amount of skepticism toward the video, mentioning how it could have been easily scripted; I myself conceded from the beginning how there was really no way of knowing whether little Charlie had already heard the nickname used by her dead great-granny –whom she only met a couple of times– to call her mom Jamie. I was content to leave it at that, but yesterday my cosmic compadre Micah Hanks on his radio show The Gralien Report mentioned my previous article, and he also pointed out this other video, which is a commentary about a previous one with Charlie recorded right after a family trip to Disneyland; the important part starts at 3:25:
So here again we seem to have a little girl, using a rather peculiar phrase which was deeply characteristic of Jaime’s dead grandmother –“the walls (of my house) are crying”– as a way to express homesickness. Once more, we can’t vouch for the veracity of this account –the fact that the video embedded above and the previous one I linked to last week were posted on Youtube with only a day’s difference is a bit fishy, although if these are attempts to attain notoriety on the social networks, so far it hasn’t succeeded.
But if what Jaime is saying is true, then it would seem to suggest her child is able to ‘channel’ somehow the ‘spirit’ of someone who was very important to her mother at the time she was the same age as she is now. Whether that ‘spirit’ is more metaphorical than literal, is again open to personal interpretation…
