help finding a movie
My daughter remembers a movie about a young boy who dies in a barn fire, some time later a girl moves into the house he had lived in and the ghost boy and girl become friends. Later in the movie, there is another barn fire and the boy manages to save the girl. I recognize this may read like the unfilmed sequel to GoodBurger but Kennan is not in it.
Does this ring a bell to anyone?
It would most likely be somewhat older as she remembers watching it when she was young so it would need to have been filmed most likely before 2015 or so but I don't have an exact date.

Casper, starring Devon Sawa and Christina Ricci.
Nah, it's not Casper, but that's what I'm rolling with.

A bit different from that description, but the original "Goodnight Mommy" (2014) is the right timeframe and involves a barn fire.

Seems not to be it. Does anyone else have any ideas? She is 17 now and saw the movie as a kid, she feels like it was not a 'scary movie' and was more or less age-appropriate. She was a fan of secret garden and watched War horse but that was as scary as it got back then. She does think it was similar to War Horse if that helps.

that seems to have some promise... I will check with her. Ironically I found a Reddit post asking the same question and one person suggested it might be a British movie but could not recall the title if nothing else I think you identified that person's forgotten title. LOL

Ugh. Not 'from Time to time' although she felt it was close to what she remembers as far as age goes

It sounds a lot like a 2-episode story from the Goosebumps TV Series from 9/28/98 & 9/29/98. Season 4 Episodes 3 & 4 titled The Ghost Next Door

I don't know the answer but this person on Reddit seems to have had the same question about a year ago.
