The paranormal community has mixed feelings when it comes to children and investigating. Many say that you should wait until you’re 18 before you start communicating with spirits. But many folks have their first paranormal encounters when they’re children. Also, it is commonly believed that children are more sensitive to the paranormal since they’re young and haven’t built up those walls over the years like adults. For me, I think that as long as the kids are safe, both spiritually and physically, I don’t see anything wrong with them investigating. Of course, as long as they have supervision.
We also need to remember that these kids are the future of the paranormal community. I think following and supporting the young ones in the paranormal community is especially important because they are our future. Thanks to social media, I’ve found myself interacting with a lot of kids lately (with their parents’ supervision of course) and offering them advice, answering questions, etc. They are truly a delight to talk to. I honestly wish I had this when I was a kid. I think it would have made me feel less alone.
Here are a few kids out there in the paranormal investigating world who are making a splash, kicking butt, and taking names.
Madison Smith
Madison Smith has been investigating since she was 10yrs old. Her first investigation was at the Renwick Mansion in Davenport Iowa. She first got interested in the paranormal when she was 5 yrs old by watching shows on YouTube. She has investigated some pretty awesome locations in the three years she has been investigating. Locations include Malvern Manor, Villisca Axe Murder House, Edinburg Manor, Farrah School House, Mineral Springs, Eloise Asylum, and many more. She is definitely making waves in the field and on social media. Madison has already been to some of the most famous locations in the United States. She also does a podcast called Spoopy Talk, which is a true delight to listen to! She has had guests like Elizabeth Saint, Nick Groff, Daniel Klaes, Ashley Godwin, Richard Estep, Megan Deputy, Brandon Alvis, and many more. You can listen on Paranormal Buzz Radio.
Madison has caught the attention of some of the most famous paranormal investigators around the world. Between her podcast and her paranormal adventures, she’s doing some fantastic work already at such a young age. She is definitely going places in this field! 2021 is promising to be a good year for Madison, as she has some events happening, and a big event happening at the Hinsdale House.
Ghosty Girlz – Grace & Vivi
Grace and Vivi make up the Ghosty Girlz team. They are totally rocking it on Instagram too with over 7,000 followers! Another reason why I follow them is that they focus on the Southern California area. As you all know, I grew up in San Diego and lived there until I was 27. SoCal has a special place in my heart. I love following their paranormal adventures around the area and seeing where they go. They’ve managed to grab the attention of thousands on social media, and they are already great at networking. These girls are definitely GOALS!
Go Kiko TV
I recently met Kiko on Instagram when he sent me a message. At 13 years old, he just starting out with his YouTube channel and I’ve really enjoyed watching him in action. He’s from across the pond and has access to some AMAZING locations. What really impressed me with Kiko is that he has such a calm about him while investigating. His social media presence is still new, but it doesn’t mean he isn’t kicking butt. I look forward to seeing what his future holds in the field.
