As you’re asleep like a burnt-out log, your weird kid’s imagination is running errands in the next room. Whatever happens, it will come to light with the morning sun. After hearing scary stories about the "poultry-geist" staring at your little one from the closet, you can’t help but feel chills going down your spine.

It’s a known fact that kids are creepy—from drawing weird stuff inspired by some undetected evil force to introducing their invisible best friend that’s in front of you right now. We can come up with many explanations for the creepy things kids say, but there’s surely a limit to what can be made rational. These parents on Twitter have been sharing the creepy things their scary kids have told them, and we won’t judge if there’s a house or two being put up for sale at this very moment.

Grab your blanket before reading some of the best tweets that we've found, it’s about to get chilly. If these things kids say hit close to home for you, there’s no better place to have a low-key therapy session than the comment section!

That's actually sweet, maybe they wanted to see their granddaughter because they never got to see her.

Okaaay....a bit like the time I opened the window to let the cat out and saw two men at the corner of the house. I closed the window and went to tell my folks only to see the same two men standing in the passage. I screamed, ran back into my bedroom and continued to scream until my mother managed to push the door open to calm me down. At lease the little old lady who came to visit me one night had a kindly demeanour and told me that all would be well with my grandmother who had bronchitis. The first incident was when I was about 12, the second I was 20 going on 21.Weird..

Ok, this is creepy! (Although the six year old most likely saw a photo and the other two joined thr chorus.)

I had a similar experience when babysitting my cousin, he was around 10, about midnight I heard noises from his room, went up to check and he was stood in the middle of the room staring at his TV which just had white noise on really loud, I asked if he was okay and he slowly turned around and just stared through me! he was asleep with his eyes open, but I just left him to it....never babysat him again!

This stuff makes me wonder if we should really tell children what we perceive. There was with certainty no physical person in the closet, and, unless you are superstitious, also no spirit or whatever. But the child might as well have perceived something that we perceive differently, and we should not simply say "there is no such thing".

Speaking of it, I think there were cartoons that included episodes about these kinds of illusions, but in a non creepy way, rather cheerful way instead. Like it's fun that some shadows and objects can look like people and figures. I think that's a really good method of calming down both kids and adults.

When my sonata little, he kept telling me stories about his conversations that he would have with his great grandma... my mom's mom... problem was she does when I was 9. He could point her out in pictures from the Philippines that were taken just before she died and knew what her nickname was that all the little kids in the family called her. I was properly creeped out for a while. He stopped seeing her, but he's in his twenties now and still remembers it all....

I could never sleep with the closet doors open when I was a kid, because I thought someone was in there. In hindsight, I think the clothes hanging on hangers just looked as if someone was there, and my imagination made it worse. Maybe the same thing here?

I have a niece and when she was younger, claimed to have a man in her closet. Later found out from my brother that they started having paranormal activity in the house and it got so bad that they had to get the house cleansed. Some of the stuff he told me was really freaky; TV turning on and off, his car stereo coming on in the middle of the night (when you needed the key to start it), windows rattling, footsteps down the hallway. Apparently ghosts are attracted to young children and pre teens for some reason. It was all traced to her closet.

Just because adults don't always see what the kid does, doesn't mean it's not real, or not there... never discount it, and never say it's not there. Just say no, I don't see what you're seeing, but if you are afraid, you can tell me, and we can see what we need to do so you aren't afraid.

That is the beginning of a fantastic story. Janie grew up surrounded by friends, invisible to the world. While the rest of her class was listening to the teacher Janie was listening tothe amazing stories of her friends. They would tell her about the lives they had lead and all of the wonderful places they had been. Her friends told her what it was like to live and what it was like to die. As she got older she began to question them why no one else could see them. They told her simply, she is the cloth keeper. Janie accepted this without question for many years before finally asking what a cloth keeper was. The cloth keeper is the one who tends to the cloth of humanity woven together by our shared stories. Janie would know the stories and pull and weave the threads to strengthen the bond and enrich the human experience. Rebelling against her destiny occupied her for most of her adolescence. Then embraced her destiny and set about to do the best she could.

I still believe despite I'm a roman catholic that orthodoxy is closer to the original Christianity and the spirit world than then other later historical churches.

I remember this like it was yesterday. I thought there was a witch in the closet at daycare. I don't know if someone told me there was or what but I screamed every day my mom took me there and she had to change day cares. I drive by it sometimes and the the witch is the first thing I think of. .

What is it with this belief that if someone dies in a house it becomes haunted (or has more chances of being haunted)?

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
