For those that had imaginary friends, I'm always curious, do/did you believe there was someone there? Did you see them? Were they invisible but real? Or were you well aware they were imaginary? that sounds like seeing a ghost?

I have a feeling you had a few imaginary friends growing up.
I knew that imaginary friends were just that - imaginary - or make-believe. I don't recall having one but some of my playmates when I was little had invented some. I also had 3 older siblings, so no need (or room for any make-believe friends) in my world. My dolls did have individual personalities though, when I was really young - like maybe 4 or 5. I think that's when a kid's imagination is most active & creative.

Willis Gordon. Just because I am the only one who can see him absolutely does not mean he is imaginary.
What do you mean "did"?
Has something happened to him that no one told me about?

As far as I know I didn't, nor did my siblings, however my mom's brother created an imaginary character that he always brought out whenever we saw him. It's name was Ponyontootstannisbooboo (I didn't realize the name was that long and we just called him Pon Yon!) Uncle Bobby would tell us about the things Pon Yon was doing.
I remember one time when I was about 4 or 5, he was telling me about Pon Yon and asked me to hold out my hand. He then handed me his little jacket and hat and asked me to hold them. Imagine my mom's surprise a few minutes later when she came over and asked me why I was holding my hand out and I told her I holding Pon Yon's hat and coat.

Willis Gordon, my invisible friend when I was five. He kept me company when I was sick for a year and had to mostly stay in bed and rather isolated. He was really quiet, so no one minded his being around. I lost track of him when I went to school.

Most likely once you got better, your Willis Gordon moved on to keep some other little kid who was sick company.
