Did the kid mention which side of the window Mister was on? Might not be a ghost...

Stay with the child and see what he sees. If it is shadows from trees or lights from passing cars, explain that to them. Tell them that we don't see as well in the dark as we do in daytime and that everyone gets mixed up at times about what they see. Comfort and reassure.

You should probably board the window up right away.
Hang some crosses and splash some holy water around the kid's bed.
Do you have any relics you can use?

When hes crying in bed, hes actualy just sleepwalking somewhow, so hes still asleep.

I used to work in an institution many years ago, and one of the residents had an uncanny knack of predicting when somebody would die.
We would be sat drinking tea and somebody would pass by and he would whisper, "their going to die on Saturday", at first we just laughed it off and carried on about what we were doing, sure enough, when Saturday came, the person died.
If he overheard a conversation about people talking about someone they knew, he could even predict their demise.
It got to the point people would avoid him and some even resigned their positions.
In the 15 years I worked with him I only had the courage to ask him once about me, he replied "you have come and gone already". I still have no idea what he meant.
His predictions were accurate to within plus or minus 36 hours.
When his pet dog died, so did the predictions.

Spooky stuff the minds of mad men.

Woodgie you are a zombie?! Or maybe he was saying you have been reincarnated, though then wouldn't everyone.

Just hope your death was too far off for even him to see😉

And Leestatic, there is this show on tv where they helps kids who see ghosts. I don't know if it is bs or not, but they seem to help the kids, not by making them believe anything or disbelieve anything, but to conquer their fears. Maybe harder with younger kids, how old is he?

Its not very strange he could predict all that so accurate;
That man was a serial killer!;p

If I were you I would go have a look outside that window for signs of prowlers just in case.

That was my first thought too.

No, they'd have to be stupidly tall or carry ladders, he points more into the corner of the room right next to the window.

Have you tried letting him sleep in another room...even your's...for awhile? Does he wake at the same time every night? It might be a dream. But a certain mental illness started in this fashion at a very early age with a family member. Do not want to frighten you, but it must be dealt with and not passed off. Ghosts? No way.

That was my point. Maybe he really was seeing someone.
