That is so fascinating that you remember your imaginary friend as a real live girl! Children’s imaginations are truly incredible!

As a child I had an imaginary friend in honesty my memory of her is a girl that came to my house to play until I was about 4. I was very sure that she was real. My mum has told me that I would say she is at the door and ask her to let her in, I often would ask where is Julie’s dinner mum. When my mum “rudely” let our friend go hungry. I remember playing games with her and walking together around my garden. One day my mum took my brother and I to a play park Julie came along… at home time I couldn’t find Julie and my mum has told me I was happy to believe that her mum took her home.

The strangest imaginary friend that I know belonged to a 3 year old boy he called his imaginary friend Derick and Derick was a man and often went on holiday. The young boy would find small items around the house and claim Derick brought them back from holiday for him. One day Derick took a ferry to Australia and wouldn’t come back.

It is astonishing the power of a young child’s imagination!
