I am a mother of an 8 year old child, who just today told me of his contact with what he thinks is the Devil. He only calls the thing that looks like the Devil (horns,red,black cloak, etc..) "Dude". That is strange in itself, but he claims to have been awake a few times and seeing rooms to what he thought was Hell. He did say a good spirit "sat on my bed and it said to stay away from the Devil because he is a bad influence". I don't know if this is the imagination of a Gifted/Talented (GT, he has been tested) or real. He claims to have had these experiences several times since he was 4. I don't know what to do or think. I do not want to appear to disbelieve him, because my heart says he is telling me the truth (not just because he is my child). I asked him just an hour ago about making sure to tell me the truth. He said, "Mom, why would I lie about the Devil? I would get in big trouble". [?] Help, if you know anyone who can help me.
