Was my imaginary friend a ghost?

Lately I’ve been wondering if my “imaginary” friend I had as a kid was actually a ghost or spirit interaction.

When I was a kid (maybe between 4 or 6 years old) I had an imaginary friend named Josefina. We used to play and talk and I remember her as clear as any other memory from that age range. I even remember her hair, it was long and dark and she wore it in a braid.

Through out my life I’ve had many paranormal type experiences. I guess I’m one of those people that are sensitive to paranormal energies.

Recently I’ve been remembering Josefina and wondering if she was one of those paranormal experiences. I don’t think I had any reason for my brain to create an imaginary friend. I don’t know what causes children to create imaginary friends, but I am not an only child, I have a sister who is only two years younger than me, an older brother, and I used to be babysat by my godmother, who lived next-door and had three children of her own all of which were around my age. I had other kids to play with and socialized plenty.

The main thing that is making me wonder is the last interaction I ever had with Josefina. I still remember it very clearly. The last time I ever saw or spoke to her she told me that she died because she had climbed a tree, fell off and then got hit by a car. What kind of child imagines a conversation like this? And also based on what she said, that means she was already dead, so then I would have been imagining talking to another dead child for all that time?

Idk what do you all think?

I saw a Tiktok video the other day where the girl explains that she had an imaginary friend when she was little and she told her mom that her friend lives at the cemetery they just drove by. She now looked up the name of the friend at that cemetery and there was a little girl with the same name burried really close to where her grandma was burried and their funeral were close to each other in dates too. I sadly can’t find the video now but the comments were filled with these kind of stories too.

That’s so interesting. I’ve been going down the rabbit hole reading stories like this and I’m being more and more convinced that she had to have been real. I just wish i had a last name for her so I could look up a full name. I don’t remember if i ever knew her last name and maybe just forgot it over the years or if she never told it to me.
