I've heard of the book and the background story buuuuuttttt I don't know if I necessarily believe it (I do believe in an afterlife, a higher power, out of body experiences/near death experiences though). I mean,
the kids father is a pastor and 4 year olds are not only very impressionable but they pick up on a lot more things than us adults give them credit for. The story reminds me of people who claim to have been victims of demonic possession. 99% of the possessed are devout to fanatical Christians. You never hear of atheists or buddhists or Easter/Christmas christians getting possessed.
