For me, this started when I was a kid living not too far from Melbourne, Australia. As a kid many strange things happened to me and my family. Of course being from an extremely sceptical family, just about everything was passed off as being our imaginations or just given simple explenations such as shadows, and the likes. For me the three most memorable incidents that occured where:
1. The time when I saw a white cat walking up our hall past our lounge room. We had never had a white cat nor could ever find traces of one. (The cat will re-appear later).
2. Whilst playing in the back yard I heard my mother call me inside. As I approached I could see the shadow of a man walk across the kitchen through the window. Of course a few seconds later when I got inside, there was no one there and my mother had been out the front the whole time and never called me.
3. Just before we moved to the country, I was punished for destroying my room, including splattering black ink or paint dots all over the walls and ceiling. I had not been near the room for many hours, and had no idea how or what had happened, but let's face it who believes an 8 year old when this sort of thing happens.
So that is the background of my life... There are of course many other things, such as doors opening and closing on their own no matter where we were and the likes.
Jump the clock forward about 15 years and I am now happily engaged with a girl who claims to be partially psychic and have psychic friends. She can sense things around me (yes doors are mysteriously opening and closing all these years later) and invites a couple of friends around to see what they can sense. Being curious but sceptical I go along with it when they tell me that I am being followed by three spirits or beings. Two are children who give them (in their words) "The Heebie-Jeebies" and a third more sinister one. For me life went on, the odd strange thing happens along the way... (remember the white cat, I still swear my mother hit a white cat in her car a couple of years ago, but we never could find anything) and no more is thought about it. Until today.
It has been nearly 18 years since I broke up with my fiance, yet today at work a very nice lady whom I had never met before and claims to be able to see spirits, within 15 minutes of meeting me turned around and told us all that I was being followed by the spirits of 2 children, who where giving her the creeps (yes she actually said "The Heebie-Jeebies). I was shocked and taken aback, as I have never before spoken to anyone about this. So now I have to wonder... Who they are, what do they want, and what is their connection to me.
I am still sceptical in part, but now have to recognise there must be something there. I don't want to upset them talking about this, as they have never done anything un-toward to me. The have been many times in my life when something bad has been happening, I have inexplicably suddenly found myself feeling calmed and almost comforted. Was this perhaps them?
All I know, is today I believe what I have been told, and really would like to know more. Who are these children following me? Why are they following me? Most importantly: WHY?

Looks like everyone posted this a couple months ago... Hopefully I'm not too late in responding to this... 😐 I was searching google for my own answers and came upon your story. I myself am followed by eight small child-like spirits... I emphasize the 'child-like' because they do not act like children, but appear in the form of children.
I know they are guardians of some kind, scary to other people but have not harmed me in any way.
My story... I always remember them being around me, so I can not go back to a beginning, unfortunitally. But, when I was married, I was argueing with my spouse... I remember one of the spirits standing between he an I but facing him. In one moment, my spouse (at the time) turned white and urinated on himself... He left the house and slept outside. He would not talk about it with me and I do not know what he saw. Whatever they are, they are not and never were human.
I met with one of my friends who also sees these spirits, she said they give her the creeps, but don't approach her. She beleives they are some sort of fey, but I have not found anything to support this.
Your story sounds similar in some aspects to mine. They do not harm me, often provide comfort, they give other people the creeps (probably because they do not act like children) and they always follow me around. I have been told they like the energy I give off and that is why they surround me and continue to follow my shadow. I tend to be very upbeat and happy, I like to see the brighter parts of things and other energies are attacted to it like a beacon or a moth to a flame. When I'm sad, which isn't often... I find that I will start giggling at the oddest of things, possibly the spirits are trying to liven me up so to speak.
If they are not a harm to you and you are not bothered by them, they may just be around because they like you. Bad things happen to everyone, but maybe if they were not around the situation could have been worse. Sometimes getting to know them helps avoid the ackward feeling when other's notice them too. I have gotten to know my spirits a little better but I am still curious as to what they are. My search continues... Lol
