So usually when an imaginary friend is a real thing in a story, itâs either a demon or a ghost or some supernatural boogeyman that probably wants to eat the kid theyâve befriended (Mama, a couple of the Paranormal Activity movies), or âimaginary friendsâ are just treated as a real thing in the setting, and if a child just thinks hard enough they can manifest a friend into existence (Fosterâs Home for Imaginary Friends, Happy).
And somewhere in the middle is an area where the imaginary friend in question is real and they are supernatural, but they arenât malevolent, and they arenât entirely honest about what they are.

I donât know how the person who went through basically the whole Parrot Sketch managed to resist adding âpining for the fjords.â
