A young girl returns from pre-school and tells her mother all about her new friend Soosha. She wants a colour backpack like Soosha, and hair ribbons like Soosha. She talks of Soosha every day after school.
The girls mother attend a school event and, out of curiousity, asks a teacher to point out who Soosha is.
The teacher says…'We have no girl called Soosha here.'
Who are these invisible companions who young children speak to - are they harmless figments of a healthy imagination, or something supernatural…even sinister.
I’m Peter Laws, and tonight on this two part episode, we explore ‘The Frightful World of Imaginary Friends.’
