Not only are kids funny and witty, but it turns out that they can also communicate with spirits and can come up with the scariest stories ever. Don't believe it?

Compiled by Bored Panda, this collection of creepy things kids say is sure to freak you out. From kids who love their parents so much, they want to cut off their heads and carry them around, to children who can see invisible things lurking in the darkest corners of the house, you'll never look at your scary kids in the same way again.

A Special Friend
I was with my sister, her husband, and their two year old daughter. We were talking about loved ones that had recently passed (my father had died sometime recently). My brother in law went and grabbed a picture of his mother, who had died in a car crash when he was six, to show me.
When my niece saw the picture though she started laughing. We asked her what was so funny and she looked at us and said "that's my special friend who sings to me".
I still shiver a bit just thinking about it.
Behind You!
"Go back to sleep, there isn't anything under your bed".
"He is behind you now".
Still haven't gotten over that one and shiver at the memory.
Long Lost Brother
Walking past an old cemetery, my (then) 3-year-old son casually said, "My brother is in there." When I reminded him that he didn't have a brother, he said, "No, Mama... from before. When the other lady was my mommy."
This Time It's Good Bye
I was tucking in my two year old. He said "Good bye dad". I said, "No, we say good night". He said "I know. But this time its good bye"
Had to check on him a few times to make sure he was still here.
The Big Guys
My sister got hit by a drunk driver in April and it totalled her car. She had my 4 year old nephew and my infant niece with her. When my mom arrived at the hospital my nephew asked her if he would thank the big guys. What big guys Kaiden? Grammy, the big guys that were in the car with me when it got loud and scary and they hugged me with their arms and kept me safe. Even the insurance adjuster cannot explain how either child escaped with not a scratch.
Little Brother Sick
When my cousin was 2 years old or so, her mom got pregnant again. One day she went to hug her mom's belly and said "little brother sick".
A few days later she had a miscarriage...
I Used To Do That
When my son was small, I was talking to him about growing potatoes. I described how you bank up the earth around them as they grow, and he said "I used to do that when I was an old man".
Both my kids have spoken of past lives... My daughter aged 3 told me in graphic detail how to conduct a post mortem... " I know what I'm talking about... I did it for 20 years"
They Tried
Getting my two and a half year old daughter out of the bath one night, my wife and I were briefing her on how important it was she kept her privates clean. She casually replied "Oh, nobody 'scroofs' me there. They tried one night. They kicked the door in and tried but I fought back. I died and now I'm here." She said this like it was nothing.
I don't buy it, a 2,5 year old doesn't have that kind of vocabulary 🤔
Bad Man
Why are you crying?
"Bad man"
What bad man?
"There." Points behind me at a dark corner of the room.
Lamp on bookshelf next to said darkened corner falls off as soon as I turn to look.
She slept in our bed that night.
It's A Monster
My 3 year old daughter stood next to her new born brother and looked at him for awhile then turned and looked at me and said, "Daddy its a monster... we should bury it."
I read a joke(from a joke book, its dark humorish) if I remember correctly a baby is born and the mother says “Its a treasure” and the dad says “Then lets go bury it.” That dark humorish joke just comes to mind. 0.o
A Bad Accident
My mother was babysitting my daughter while I was at a doctor’s appointment and said: “Oh no, Grandma. Mama’s not coming any more today. She was in a bad, bad accident. She can’t come get us.” I had indeed been in an accident that almost killed me at that exact time. None of my family had yet been notified.
95th Birthday
My sister, Hailey, was born exactly two months after our great-grandmother died. One day Hailey woke up and informed us it was her 95th birthday. When we tried to reason with her she started crying, saying that her real name was Irene (my granny’s name), not Hailey. This lasted all day, and the next day she didn’t remember anything.
Spooky Whispers
I was sound asleep, and at around 6am I was woken up by my 4 year old daughters face inches from mine. She looked right into my eyes and whispered, "I want to peel all your skin off".
The backstory here is I had been sunburned the previous week, and was starting to peel. In my sleep addled state however, it was pretty terrifying for a few seconds. I didn't know if I was dreaming, or what was going on.
A Baby In Your Belly
My 4 year old son and I were waiting for our food at Panera. While we stood there, he started rubbing my belly and talking to it. I asked him what he was doing; he said that he was talking to the baby. I informed him that I was not pregnant. And he said "there IS a baby in your belly...I just saw it crawl across the floor and climb up into you".
WTF.
The Matrix
“Just today, my 4-year-old son told me, ‘I think we live in a pretend world and someone is playing with us.’ I asked him what he meant, and it got even weirder: ‘Well, it seems like someone does things to us, but we can’t see them because we are in this world and they are not."
Imaginary Friend
My 4 year old has an imaginary friend named John. He's had him for a while, but a few months ago he came to me, completely serious and said, "Big John said he loves you." and then walked away. Now he has always referred to him as his Buddy John. Foe example, " My buddy John and I...."
My grandfather's name was John and everyone used to call him Big John. He passed away when I was 6 years old. We lived with him at the time of his passing and he was such a huge part of my life. I have never referred to him as Big John or even John when speaking about him, always just grandpa.
Idk how parents can be OK with imaginary friends... If my kid said that I'd probably call an exorcist!
A Broken Arm
My sister described her “imaginary” friend, saying: “He sits on my bed and waits for his mom. He’s not allowed to go home by himself because of his arm.” I asked what happened to his arm, and she said: “His mom ran him over when he was drawing with chalk. That’s why he’s always crying, because he doesn’t like being dead.”
I Hope I Don't Die Again
My 5 year old asked me when he is going to be 23- I told him in 18 years- he replied- well, I hope don't die again- cause that's how old I was the last time I went to heaven.
Talking Painting
My family has recently moved to a new home in a new country. It was a well-furnished apartment, and in our bedroom was a painting that looked like hair free-flowing in the air. It wasn’t a pleasant or soothing painting, but I was trying to make peace with it. My son was 2½ years old then. One day I was settling him down for an afternoon nap in my bedroom, when he said, ‘I don’t wanna sleep in this room.’ I asked him why, and he said, ‘This painting looks at me and tries to talk to me, and I don’t like it.’”
Welp I’m not sleeping tonight. (Yes I meant to use the word “welp”)
Seeing People
On my way from work, my 3 year old daughter in the back seat, we'd pass a very old cemetery every day. She used to tell me the people in there were waving to her. I would tell her there was nobody there, and I explained what a cemetery was. She was ADAMANT she saw people, and a school, and a store, and they'd wave to her. This went on for several months, and every day she'd tell me. I was telling this to a co-worker who lived in the area, and was a history buff. He then researched the cemetery, and told me the area was actually the site of where soldiers fought in the war, and they were buried there. They also made a very tiny town for a small time, Samptown, and there was a school, and a little store, and some people lived there. If that wasn't enough to freak me out, one day driving past my daughter told me a lady "in there" wanted her to come in. I found a different route home after that.
A Death Prophecy
My mom told me that when I was a kid, around the age of 4, I would go to my great-grandmother everyday to spend some time with her, and everytime I was going home, I would say to her (as a good reigious child I was): "God be with you", but one time, when I was leaving, I told her: "Go with god". Acording to my mom, she (my mom) correct me, but I insist in saying "Go with god".
That night, my great-grandmother died.
I Met Your Babies
I have had multiple miscarriages.
My daughter: I met your babies that died, in my dream. They want you to know that you're a good mom.
The Dead Baby
My daughter was three, and I was getting her ready for the day. She had been waking up with nightmares almost every night for a month or two. I asked what she wanted for breakfast, and she told me she wanted to share it with the dead baby in her closet. I thought she meant one of her dolls, but when I pulled them out, she said "no, not a doll, the dead one that sleeps on the closet floor at night."
Car Crash
We were driving down a dark, snowy highway late one evening - final stretch of a 16- hour-long road trip. My son, who was around 4 or 5 at the time, was in the back seat and becoming a bit restless. He suddenly covered his face with a blanket and announced loudly, "I don't want to get glass on my face!" A few moments later, a pick-up truck towing some snowmobiles pulled out in front of a tractor trailer a few cars in front of us and got hit, spinning out into the median. Fortunately, we avoided.
I remember when my dad made chicken for dinner once, he took the galss casserole-type dish out of the over and placed it on the stove. The stove must have been too cold for some reason because the dish shattered. Thing is, I swear I saw my dad jump back before it broke.
Making Crosses
When I was about 3 we had a cat that had still born kittens. I asked my father if we could make crosses for them, which he did. As he was making them I asked: "aren't those too small?",
Dad: "What do you Mean?"
Me: "aren't we going to nail them to them?"
Dad: (after several moments silence) "we're not going to do that"
Me: "oh"
Scary Flight
“On a flight with my son, the plane took off and hit a couple bumps. The passengers were being somewhat quiet when my son yelled, ‘WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!"
The Lady In The Bedroom
My 3-year-old son was softly singing while he was coloring. I stopped to listen, but I had never heard the song before. I asked where he learned it, and he said: “The lady in my bedroom sang it to me.”
Right Next To You
Not creepy, but sad. My best friend died and I was trying to get back to my hometown for the funeral. I got overwhelmed with grief and laid my head down on my desk and started crying. My daughter came into the kitchen and asked me what was wrong (she was 8 at the time). I told her I was so sad because my friend died and I was missing her so much. My kiddo said, "don't be so sad, mommy, she's standing right next to you!" I still get goosebumps just thinking about it!
maybe she heard someone saying that our loved ones are always with us
The Man In The Wardrobe
When I was about 4, my mom found me in the bathroom with all my Barbies, making them float facedown in the bath. When she asked what I was doing, I replied: “The man in the wardrobe told me if I didn’t do it, it would be my turn to swim facedown.”
Breaking The News
My step dad passed away, and my nephew had to stay at my moms for the night while they dealt with things and they were struggling on how to tell him about his grandfather's passing. In the morning they broke the news to him, but he already knew. Said paw paw and his war buddies, he named them, were in there teaching him how to play poker cuz he was all alone. The kid will clear a poker table to this day.
The Other Family
“My 6-year old came home from school one day, bursting through the door with tears streaming down her face. ‘I miss my other family,’ she said. ‘What other family?’ I asked, thinking she may have been talking about her grandparents, or other friends or relatives. ‘My alien robot family,’ she explained, continuing to explain that she lived with them in the sky before she came into my tummy. She chose to come down because she was angry with them, and chose our family, but now she missed them and wanted to go back for a visit.”
Take Grandma
A huge thunder storm one night my son about four at the time put his hands on the sliding glass doors and says " oh god don't take me I'm too young to die, (looks back at my mom) take gramma she is old!"
You'll Die
Last year my daughter kept crying and telling me I was going to die at 33 like my dad. I never told her or remember telling anyone while she was around that my dad died when he was 33.
Well... I am 33 years old and I have to say I have been living carefully this year. Hoping to make it until next month when I turn 34.
A Nice Ghost
“The other week, I was reading my 2-year-old daughter a bedtime story. When we finished, we were talking about been scared of ghosts, monsters, trolls, etc. and she turned to me and said, ‘Daddy, I’m not scared of ghosts.’ I asked, ‘Why’s that?’ to which she replied, ‘Because the one that comes into my room at night and strokes my hair is a nice one.’”
A Dying Tree
When I was really little I pointed to a tree outside my house and said to my family: “That tree is going to die.” No one thought anything of it, but the next morning it randomly fell over and crushed my grandpa’s car.
Seems like grandpa would have like to been told that his car was going to be crushed.
I'm Gonna Drive Over You
My 6 year old daughter in the passenger seat a few days ago looked at me and said "Dad. When I'm seven I'm going to kill you. No wait when I'm eight". I had to ask so "How are you going to do that?". She smiled and said "I'm gonna drive over your head with this car".
Red-Eyed Man
We were on our way home to Alabama from Texas and my son was in the backseat and he said "mommy, who's the man in the backseat with me?"
It was just us two. No one else with us (that I could see). I asked him to describe him and he said "he's just black with red eyes. He's scaring me."
So, I pulled over and out his seat in the front with me and he said the man looked like he wanted to eat me when I moved him.
So there's that.
I Didn't Choose
My son always says odd things. Usually they're funny but this one threw me for a loop.
He is 8. I was telling him how much I love him and thanks for being in my life. He said. I didn't choose this life. I couldn't control how it began. But I can control how it ends.
The Storm Is Coming
My niece drew a picture "of a man in her room" that she kept telling her parents about. He had two different colored eyes, and one was gray. When asked why it was gray, she responded "because he can see the storm coming."
The Dreamer In The Dream
My 6-year-old nephew told my brother that everyone on Earth was a figment of "Jonah's" imagination and that when "Jonah" wakes up, we'll all disappear. When asked who Jonah is, he replied VERBATIM: "he's the one who sleeps. The dreamer in the dream." Made my skin crawl the first time he told me.
Baby Brother 101
"So I shouldn't throw him in the fire?"
3 year old daughter holding her baby brother for the first time.
D: Ummmmmmmmmmmmm........ Keep that baby far away from that girl until she learns how not to have the assumption of throwing her baby brother into a fire...
I Was An Angel
My youngest now 5 started talking super early; like full sentence talking, everyone was shocked by how well he talked for his age.(3 older siblings) So at a year in a half he would tell me he begged God to let me be his mommy. He would says things like "I was an angel in heaven" and "I had another mommy but I wanted you", "I'm so glad God let you be my mommy". We weren't super religious at the time and I just hadn't found a church so it was really random to hear him talk about God, heaven and Angels especially before my other kids actually leaned about religion.
Mom, I Know
I had just took a pregnancy test that came up positive confirming I was pregnant with our 4th baby. I was pretty freaked out and a little surprised and had to keep a straight face because we had company at the time and my husband didn't even know I was taking it. I leave the bathroom and sit on the couch. My oldest son (barely 5 years old at the time) comes over to me acting giddy and goofy and as soon as everyone is out of the living room says to me in a whisper voice "Mom, I know". Me, having not said a single thing about it didn't know what he was referring to. "Know what?" I say back with a smile, thinking he's just being goofy. "That there's a baby in your belly!" He whispers with a huge grin and runs off.
I felt like I had seen a ghost! To this day I have no clue how he could have known that when I myself had just found out minutes before! When I asked him later how he knew, he responded "I just knew!".
All By Myself
When my youngest daughter was about 2-3 we were just talking and she said "I died all by myself" I asked her why she was talking about. She said "not when you was my mommy, when I lived with my old mommy. She had brown skin and so did I. The spider bit me and I died all by myself!" She is deathly afraid of spiders still and she is almost 13!!
It's so mysterious and amazing how these children know such things...
Delicious Dinner
My four year old son said, "Daddy, I want to drill into your tummy, crawl inside and eat your dinner." The food was ok but I didn't think it was worth that much effort.
A Long Time Ago
A little neighbor kid I use to babysit was quietly playing with his toys when, without looking up, he says to me, "you look so different now." I had to ask him what he meant. "You mean how different I look with makeup?" And he said, "no, a long long time ago. A LONG long time ago." He seemed frustrated, like he couldn't find the right words. He then looked up, studied my face and said, "well, not that different. You're still pretty."
It was the strangest compliment I've ever received.
Sure Thing
“My daughter and I were reading on the couch one Sunday morning. It was raining outside. We were wrapped up warm in a blanket. She had a cup of tea. I had that perfect Americano. Life was good. My daughter looked up at me and said, ‘Dad, when you die can I cut you open and look inside?’ I choked a bit on my coffee. My wife simply turned around and did an about-face and walked back upstairs. ‘Sure, I said.’ She looked up at me, smiling.”
When my Aunty was studying medicine she saw her grandfathers preserved liver and lungs in some sort of anatomy library
Grandpa George
When my son was 2 I told him to be careful when he was jumping around. He said "it's ok mom, grandpa George is watching me". My dad passed away when my son was 2 months old and we hadn't really talked about him.
Stark Reminder
Not a parent, but a former teacher.
I taught English in a school in Spain, and I wasn't supposed to let the kids know that I speak Spanish (so that they are forced to communicate in English). A 10-year-old girl comes up to me one day, grabs me by the hand, and says, with the most horrifying straight face ever, "Te vas a la muerte", or "you're going to die". I was so shocked at the randomness of it that my jaw must have dropped. She then laughed her head off and said, "HA! You DO speak Spanish!". She then skipped away, laughing and smiling.
Creepiest thing a kid has ever said to me. And probably the most clever thing a kid ever did while I was a teacher.
In spanish "You are going to die" translates to: ""Te vas a morir". The more you know...
The Mighty Pen
“My daughter’s friend’s dad, Ian, came in for a cup of tea one day when he came to pick his daughter up. My girl, Izzy, was playing with a toy sword. Ian said to her, ‘You know, Izzy, the pen is mightier than the sword.’ Izzy said, ‘I know, yeah, because you can stab someone in the neck with a pen."
Darkest Things Kids Said
“I regularly babysit two girls, 3 and 5 years old. Both blonde with huge blue eyes and big smiles, they are the creepiest people I have ever met. Once, after I picked them up from day care, I tried to get them excited for dinner, seeing as they don’t normally eat that much when I’m there. I asked them in an overly excited voice, ‘Hey guys, what do you want for dinner?’ The eldest looks at me, runs away and hides behind a corner; sticking her head out, she whispers, ‘I want skinned babysitter."

My five year-old: "Mom, I need you to throw away two of my barbies."

I work at a summer camp and one day I was playing with this kid who was jumping off of things and onto me. I said: “Hey, be careful. If you kill me I can’t play with you anymore.” He looked me dead in the eyes and said: “No, but I can play with you.”

My 2 year old has never met my step-grandmother who passed away a few years back. We called her Mimie.
When I took her to my dads (they live in Mimie's old house), she played upstairs in Mimie's old craft room, I thought nothing of it.
Then, i went home a few days later and my daughter was asking me to take her back to Papa's. I said we'd go another day... This was our convo:
Her: papa?
Me: yes, baby we'll go see papa soon. Later this week.
Her: nanny? (My stepmom)
Me: yes baby. Nanny will be there too
Her: Pipie? (Step gpa)
Me: yes, Pipie too.
Her: Mimie?
Me: who?!
Her: Mimie! Mimie! Mimie!
Me: are you saying Mimie?
Her *nods frantically*
I have never told her about Mimie and neither has any of my family.
Guys, you must have mentioned her at some point. Kids pick up stuff really easy.

My child would talk to the bathroom wall to her imaginary friend. When I asked who she was talking to, she said the boy from the coal mine. We had a mine shaft running next to our house. Nope. Just nope.

My friend's 7 year old kid pretended to put me in jail. Our conversation went something like this:
Me: "What did I do? Forget to brush my teeth? Didn't do my homework?"
Her: "You murdered a 23 year old woman while she was jogging in the early morning."
Me: "...."

Child had woken up early so she was watching cartoons next to me in my bed while I tried to wake up.
I'd heard a funny sound downstairs earlier that I mentally blamed on the dogs.
Then kiddo leans over to me and remarks "Oh, there's a man in the house."
AWAKE AWAKE AWAKE
(Never found anything, never got any further details from her.)

Living just in front of a crematorium my 2 yr old ran into my room and said mommy come meet my new friend Eric in my closet he said he thinks he's dead! Turned out a 6 yr old boy had passed away a few days before that. She's been obsessed with death and ghosts ever since. Driving down the road a few months ago there were some road workers on the other side near some woods. She says mommy those men are looking for the dead body in the woods. The bad man killed him. Oddly I believed her. Sure enough someone had been found in those exact woods a few years prior to that. She's always telling me about dead people and how they died.

My 5 year old son, out of the clear blue sky, tells me while we're snuggling for bed time:
Mom, when you die after the funeral I'm going to take you back home with me. I will chop off your head and shake out your guts. Then I will put it on the table by my bed so I can look at your face before I go to sleep and always remember that I really love you!
A little serial killer-ish but it shows how deep he loves his mommy!
Oh my gosh, that's so sweet, honey; but how 'bout you just keep a framed picture of me by your bed?? 😳

My daughter, about 5 years old at the time, riding with me in my truck. A gnat, mosquito, bug of some kind is buzzing around her and bothering her, so she's complaining about it, so I told her to just swat it. She visually follows it until it's against the passenger window, and quickly smashes it with her hand.
She then turns to me, with the strangest look in her eyes, and says "That was my first time killing something."

My neighbor was babysitting my daughter one day while I was at work. They were sitting in the dining room, playing with Littlest Pet Shop toys. My daughter was very into the game and asked "do you know what it feels like to die?" And my neighbor said "uh, no." My daughter asked "do you want to?" And my neighbor said "uh, no!" My daughter creepily looked at her and said "then leave. me. alone!"

When my nephew was 5, he offered me a cookie. When I reached out to accept it, he pulled it away from me and told me he wasn't offering it to me, but to the person standing behind me...there was no one else there.
If anyone is wondering (in the future) who took the cookie from the cookie jar the kid can just say, it was him *Points to where there is nobody*!

This wasn't creepy for me but when my daughter was 3 she told me she had played with a dog before in her room. She said the dog was brown, tan, and white. I had to put down my husky 2 weeks before my daughter was born same exact color. She didn't know at age 3 that I had had a dog those colors.

“I was out with my little puppy. A kid of about four years old came up to me, excited to pet her. His dad said ‘be gentle’ as the kid was heavily hitting her head, thinking he was stroking her nicely, as kids do. Then the kid looked at me and said, ‘If I hug it really hard, all its blood and guts will come out everywhere.’ The dad excused them both and left.”

It completely caught me off guard. So I asked her what she meant by that followed with "of course I'm me, honey. Who else would I be?"
"Well, sometimes I feel like my real mom was taken away and you are just a creature wearing her skin."

I was explaining to my niece the difference between things that can and can't change about people- she was confused because she'd met a set of three siblings and the eldest wasn't the tallest.
So I told her that one day even SHE, an itty bitty four year old could be taller than me, a big huge grownup. But even if she was taller, I would always be older.
She looked me serious as you like and says "you'll be dead sooner too."

Driving along with my 3 year old, "it's ok mommy." me: "whats ok" "My stepmother will be nice to me, not like cinderella." "ok...what stepmother?" (I'm happily married to her Dad.) "the one I'll get when you die." "Wait, how am I dying?" "a robber is going to come in the window and shoot you." "are you worried about mommy dying?" "no. cuz my step moms going to be really nice!" the entire conversation was totally calm on her part.

In our old house, my daughter would refuse to sleep in her room. She would come downstairs and say things were moving, but the scariest one was when she came downstairs in tears and said "Something was tickling my back but I can't see it". I never made her sleep alone again. We put her bed in my son's room after that and since moved from the house (where all of us had "experiences" much worse than she had).
One of my friends lived in a messed up house. He'd have dreams that a giant hand would reach up from under the bed and when it grabbed him he woke up under the bed. And at certain times at night he could hear whispers and if he said something they would say it back and it would sound the exact same as him.

My 3 year old daughter and I were talking to her older brother on Facetime when she starts screaming and squirming.. She said "mommy my pappy is here" both her grandfather's had passed away before she was born. I said "who? What pappy and where is he?" She points to my phone as we're talking to my son and says "he's standing behind Eric" pointing at my phone. My son turned around to look from his phone and chatting with us, when my fully charged phone dies. She said "pap did that"

I have a much younger cousin that always called his parents by their first names. When he was about 3-4 years old he started talking about his "real parents" that were killed in a car accident. My aunt and uncle are his biological parents. He was an uneasy baby too and my dad often looked at him and would say, he doesnt want to be here.

I used to work at a daycare that was adjacent to a large cemetery. Sometimes the kids would gather at the fence and stare into the cemetery talking about a little boy they wanted to play with. As it turns out, the part of the cemetery that bordered that fence was the same part where all the kids/babies were buried. It really freaked out some of the girls that worked there.

When my niece was around three or four years old, she told me she used to have a baby but it drowned. The baby was called Peanut Butter, but still.

I have a 3-year-old daughter. She tells me that a red man comes into her room at night through her window. She said he hurts her and stares at her while she is in her bed. I have no idea where she would get the material for this story... I've locked her window for her and pulled the blinds, all in an attempt to convince her that no one is getting in through her window. Sometimes, in the morning, she'll say "It didn't work, Momma, Consequences got in last night again."

When my youngest child was about 6, she asked me how old I was. Now being only 37 at the time, I was thinking I had a few good years left. But when I told her my age, she gasped and said, ‘Mom, you’re almost DEAD!"

At my grandmother's funeral, my then 2 year old daughter crawled up on the kneeler and patted my grandmothers chest, turned around and looked at my dad and said, " grandmas happy".

We were on a boat on vacation and my 4-year-old cousin got really close to me and whispered in my ear: “I want to be a doctor so I can watch children die.”

My son told me about a “dead woman with blue skin, no hair, and black eyes” who supposedly lived in our old apartment. He said he watched her follow us outside and try to get in our car but there was no room so she stood outside and watched us leave while waving goodbye.

I work with kids on the autism spectrum. One of them said: “They can see us, but we can’t see them.”

My daughter (age 3) woke me up in the middle of the night "momma, do you hear that breathing?" I told her that was me breathing. She said in a low voice "no momma, be very quiet and listen". I didn't hear anything but we slept with lights on the rest of the night.
I had problems with fluid in my ears, infections, etc at that age. The sound of my own breathing would make me do exactly that. It was so distracting, so loud I could swear it was coming from outside me.

My granddaughter Isabella was born 3 months early. Spent almost 3 months in the hospital. As soon as my son and daughter in law brought her home, every now and then they would smell cigarette smoke in the house and neither of them smoked. Isabella would point to the walls whenever this would happen. No one ever mentioned my mom, known as Mimi. As soon as Isabella started talking she would ask about Mimi. I am not a church going person, but I truly believe my mom, is visiting her favorite grandsons baby girl!! She's 4 now and still occasionally out of the blue will say she misses Mimi!!

One night, when my daughter was 2 years old, she woke and could not get back to sleep. I told my husband to stay in bed and I took our daughter on my lap under a blanket in a chair. We were both a bit drowsy when she suddenly raised up her head and said:"Hello" towards the wall where the door was. As my heart started racing, she continued to have a little conversation as if she was on the phone with someone, her face towards one spot. She stopped when I called my husband. Freaky as hell...

I jokingly asked: "What's the best way to get a girlfriend?"
7-year-old's response: "Tell her to be my girlfriend or she'll never see her parents again."

Playing tea party, little one keeps passing me "cake". I dutifully eat each piece she passes me.
"It was poison. You died." Oh, okay then.
She then proceeded to "chop me up", mix my chopped parts with some spice in a pot, and then serve the resulting stew to her mother.
Edit: We have a lot of these, figured that'd be the one you guys would get the most kick out of, but we have quite the morbid little girl.

I was babysitting a family friend’s kid, and it was just the two of us in the home. She looked around and whispered to me: “We’re not alone in this house.”

My son was 4 years old at the time, we were sitting on my mom's front porch and he got this really scared look on his face and said he wanted to go back inside. I asked him what was wrong and he pointed to the street (where nothing was there) and said the monster was staring at him. Seeing as how I know children can see things we cannot, I took that baby inside and said a prayer!
I love the way how they said "Seeing as how I know children can see things we cannot...' What a wonderful person!

My youngest daughter, who is now 25 used to wake up in middle of the night between ages 3 and 7 and tell me the beautiful angel was in her room watching over her, and that she was dressed in white with glorious white wings. She would say don't you see how beautiful she is mommy? Many years later between 18 and 22 once again the lady in white would show up, and even speak to her. There was one time I actually heard someone say, are you alright with my own ears plain as day and I thought my daughter was asking me, she turned around and look at me and said, why wouldn't I be okay? That's when it dawned on me our angel was asking her and I had the pleasure if hearing it with my own ears.

“When I was 4, my mother taught me the concept of death, and how, as a person gets old, their parents would probably die. I was fascinated with the concept of not having a mother. One day following that, I met a woman who looked old, like 60–70. I said, ‘Look at the trees outside. They can live for a thousand years. We barely live for a hundred. So…is your mom dead?’ Apparently I really wanted to talk to someone without a mom, to find out what it’s like.”

When my youngest was about 5 years old, I asked him why he stole his sisters dolls and hid them. He told me that the little old lady told him to do it. I said what little old lady. His response: "The one that talks to me all the time, Mommy!" There was no old lady ever in our home. It freaked me out a bit.

5 year old: "Mommy, when you die I want to put you in a glass jar so I can keep you and see you forever"
To which the 6 year old responds: "That's stupid. Where are you gonna find a jar that big?"
