A Special Friend

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."

Why Do Kids Say Creepy Things? 

Kids have so many things to learn before they’re ready for the adult world, and that includes learning the difference between what’s real and what’s not. While it may seem like that creepy kid next door is communicating with spirits preaching doomsday, in reality, the kid might’ve seen, heard, or dreamt about it and may not yet grasp the distinction between reality and fantasy. Kids start to distinguish it only between the ages of three to five, and that’s more than enough time to accumulate quite a few creepy things to say.

Another thing kids have to do when growing up is to build their emotional intelligence. Little kids, as a given, don’t understand complex relationships or emotions and have to learn them through play and stories. All those scary children’s books aren’t just for creeping them out; they also serve as lessons about emotions and feelings. And while adults view them as scary, for kids, it serves as something to build their emotional baggage—the good kind—with.

This Time It's Good Bye

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.

Why Do Kids Like Scary Things? 

What do you feel when watching a good horror movie? Besides fear, you might be experiencing a good adrenaline rush, and that’s what kids get out of it, too. However, a scary story or a movie might also be a great medium for kids to explore their feelings of fear in a safe and manageable way. Lastly, kids might be drawn to these scary things purely because of curiosity and a wish to learn what’s all the fuss about. 

Do you remember watching scary movies or reading horrific stories when you were a kid? Or maybe you were one of those creepy kids who always had disturbing things to say? Share your stories with us in the comments!

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.’”

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.

Acording to my mom, she (my mom) correct me, but I insist in saying "Go with god".
That night, my great-grandmother died.

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 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!".

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.

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."

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!

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."

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).

I apperently told her to not to take left turn but to go down the road a little further and then take the second left turn. Just as we passed the first left turn we saw a car literally flying towards the road we were on. If she had took that left turn I wouldn't be writing this. I don't remember telling her not to turn.

I'm 14 and I'm still afraid of the dark. My parents strapped me in my car seat, (I was about 3 or 4,) and they went back into the house and after about five minutes the automatic lights turned themselves off. I was alone, in the garage, in the dark, and my car door was open. I started hearing weird and scary noises and started crying and screaming for my parents. They didn't hear me until twenty minutes later. To this day I hate being alone in the dark and my parents tease and harass me about it all the time. Not a creepy story, just my story on why I'm afraid of the dark.

“I woke during the night when my son was about 3, and heard him whimpering, like he was talking to someone. I went into his room and he was sitting upright in his bed, staring at the doorway, where I was standing. I went to him, saying his name, but he never answered and his stare never wavered from the doorway. By this time I was really worrying, so I started shouting his name, hoping to snap him out of it. All of a sudden, he said ‘what,’ still not looking anywhere else but the doorway. I asked, ‘Who are you looking at?’ He turned to look at me and said, ‘The man in the doorway.’ Then he laid back down and was fast asleep.”

It's common for sleepwalkers, my sister once screamed to death and jumped on furniture because she thought there were snakes all over the room. We talked to her for a while and then she slowly fell asleep again. She didn't remember a thing the next morning

“My friend was babysitting two girls, 3 and 5 years old. The older one drew a painting of her family in front of her kindergarten, and a brown, curly haired girl (which happens to be what my friend looks like…) kind of above the other people she drew. So my friend asked her, ‘Hey, is that me? Did you draw me?’ and the 5-year-old answers, ‘Yes. You’re in the sky, in heaven. That’s where you end up when you’re dead."

My then two-year-old came in to the living room perfectly normal and stopped in front of me. His head tilted down, he shifted his gaze wide-eyed up at me and whsipered, "Mommy, I'm scared."

That was weird, so I asked him what was scaring him. He didn't respond, so I started asking a list of things. He said no to them all, then replied, "The kitties are walking backwards."

This sounds like it could be a symptom of early onset schizophrenia, hallucinations like this are common. I suggest you take your child to the psychiatrist if you see anymore of this behaviour. Can be vey scary for kids

When my son was very young, maybe 4 years old, we were at a cemetery. He had no idea what a cemetery was. We smelled something and joked with him that he must have tooted. He said, "no, it wasn't me, but maybe one of those guys" and pointed. Nobody was there. He told us one of the guys looked kind of mean but the other ones didn't.
He's also told us that he's seen someone in his bedroom at night and that he's seen him off and on for a long time.

You must have mentioned something about your sister. Kidd pick up things very quickly. Something about your sisters name must have triggered them or attracted them, ending up with having an imaginary friend by the name "mindy". It is not unusual. However, weth it was spiritual or not no one could know. Maybe your sister visits them as her pleasure. She must be good and kind to them as the kids are obviously pleased with her company.

My son was about 3-4 yrs old and we were living with my mom in my 100+ year old childhood home. My whole family has always believed the house to be haunted and we all had similar experiences there. One day my son tells me he didn't sleep well because a little boy named "Jason" came up the stairs and crawled into his bed. He said "Jason" would lay on top of him and it made it hard to breathe. This went on every night for a few months and then we never heard of it again.

Maybe he was alejandro in past life? Kids remember things we dont Or maybe alejandro has visited him at sone point. Childeren at 4 or 4 years of age are not especially brilliant at explaining what they experience. He might try to be telling you what had happened by demanding he be called alejandro. Him being visited by alejandro would mean he instantly recognised him in the picture.

I think kids just think of "coming back" as obvious. My oldest and I were talking about the extinction of dinosaurs and he then asked about what happens when everybody dies...of course he got the "we go to heaven" answer and he was like...and then? We get to come back, no?" His younger brother was listening and he said "you will get old and die and then you will be a baby again". I thought it was interesting that reincarnation makes more sense to kids than our "heaven forever" story.

I wouldn't be too concerned about this one - when my son was a baby he used to wet himself laughing at lampshades. Babies have a weird sense of humour.

My son says many strange things. One day a few weeks ago we were watching cartoons. He just looks at me and says, "Do you miss your old home mom?" I asked him what home he was talking about. Here said, "The one in the woods. Before me and sissy and Daddy." He wouldn't say anything else about it or answer anymore questions. I never lived in a house in the woods.

(This storie has been retold to me by my mom)
When I was about 3 years old I woke up one day, walked up to my mom, grabbed her hand and led her to our family photos. I pointed at a picture of her grandmother and said "That lady came to me to night, she talked to me , her name is Ängla." My mom had never told me her name before only referred to her as her grandmother.

When my youngest was 2 we moved to the country town my dad was born and raised. After about 6 mths I had just finished putting up family pics which I hadnt done previously while my 3 kids were sleeping. In the morning just after breakfast, my youngest went to the pics and stopped in front of the one with my dad. She turned to me and said 'Pa's nice isnt he mum.' My dad had died 5 yrs before she was born. Often late at night I would hear her talking to him after that.

My mom told me that when I was little I used to tell her about this tall black man with no face I use in the wardrobe. When we moved house, I found out that he had followed us there. When I grew up my mom told me she used to see it too, as well as my sister, but not my dad. Once my sister and I were home, one in the bathroom and one in the living room and we said we had both seen this man again around the same time and that it had changed. We described it identically.

When my nephew was about 5 years old, I remember taking him around the neighbourhood for trick or treating. We stopped at a house with a few lit pumpkins and fake cobwebs, but my nephew said that we wouldn't be getting any treats from this house. I asked him why, and he said that the cat told him. I noticed a grey cat sitting in the front garden of the house. We did indeed get no answer from the doorbell, and a few days later police were seen outside the house. The owner had died in his sleep.

At the time he slept in the living room so he was about 10' away from that window. Whatever it was, had to have been floating or over 12' tall.

There were no other tables in that direction, so I asked her who she was waiving at. She pointed again, this time to the empty chair across from her and again exclaimed "baby"! Goosebumps.

My brother would always mention his 'other family' and as he got older and started to speak more 1-4 he would give a lot of detail. A doctor from the states was interested and came to study him. He took us to the house they lived in 113 miles away and told us all there names and where they died and how they died including himself in his previous life and even showed us where he was burried under the sand and as they dug 'him' up they solved a cold case from 64 years ago!

When my son was a baby about a year old I would hear strange things from his baby monitor and i would go In he was always asleep. But if he had just woken up he would always stare at the same spot and babble and when his cousin who is 9 months older would come over she would do the same. And my step daughter said there was a lady who hid in the closet. Once we went out of town for the weekend and when we came back the spirit was upset and she left a hand print on his leg.. he's 9 now and eveaba

I was driving on the interstate with my son who was about 8-9. His older brother and sister were with us. My father had recently died and we were talking about Catholicism and how they don't like you to be cremated unless you get permission. I told the kids because of that reason I won't be cremated and from the backseat, my son says well I'm not going to bury you in a cemetery. I'm going to build a house and bury you underneath my bed so you'll always be next to me.

#40 my son told me the exact same thing, he was five at the time and we were drving home he randomly says to me mom you know I'm really supposed to be 8 but I waited for YOU because I knew you'd be a good mom...I thank God for him everyday because it was at that moment I realized my purpose and had also experienced a love that only God could give

When my son was three years old, he stood by my bed and said, "Mommy, I know how I died." Then he did a slicing motion across his neck... and it didn't phase him! (Mind you, he was THREE! All we ever watched were G-rated shows.) When my 7-year-old heard him, she said, "I know that. I was his nurse and tried to help him." She later filled in more information that led me to believe she was talking about the American Civil War. To this day, it still blows my mind!

We moved into the house my father-in-law had passed away in when our son was 18 months old. Many times I would catch him talking to someone and he always said it was Grandpa. Once, when I was laying with him to get him to go to sleep, he asked me to scoot over. When I asked why he said Grandpa Martin wanted to lay down. He played with him and referenced him the entire 2 plus years we lived there . We moved just before he turned 4 and he never talked about him again.

My grandmother died when my youngest was 4, so I chose not to have him at the funeral or the burial. Every day on the way to his older brother's school we would pass the cemetery where she was buried. One day as we passed by, he says "That's where Granny is. I miss her so much" Completely freaked out as there was no way he could know this, I said, "How do you know that, baby?" He says, " Because she told me so when she came and saw me a few days ago." Yep....

Why would you not let your child get closure? How did you explain that? Mom: "Honey, Granny passed away and we already had the funeral and buried her. We didn't let you go because we didn't want to hurt you." The child is going to ask in the future when they're older "Why didn't I get to say goodbye to Granny in person like you or dad?"

When my brother was three and I was nine, our great-grandmother died and we were both at the funeral, although he didn't understand what was happening. The next morning, he complained about a 'bright tunnel' that he'd dreamt about, and that he didn't want to go, so he'd woken up.

My little cousin was about 4 when she came into my other cousins (her aunt) room crying really hard. We asked her what was wrong and she said that the witch in the trees was bothering her (you could see a field of trees from the bedroom window). So her aunt yelled out the window "leave my niece alone" A flock of birds flew out of the trees....my little cousin said "ok she's gone" She then smiled really hard and left the room

My 3 year old walked in one day and introduced me to her "friends". I was excited she had her first imaginary friends and started to introduce. My daughter then stopped me and said "no mom these are my cousins." Playing along I said "Oh I am sorry I do not recognize you. Who is your mom?" My daughter answered "Aunt Nicole will be". My sister Nicole had been battling with infertility for many years. I called and told her about it. She ran out and got a test and found out she was pregnant.

My 4yo niece once asked me:
"Do you know why babies can't talk?"
I answered: "Because they havn't learnt yet..."
She said: "No, because they still know too much!"

I was on a bus recently and we were stopped outside a walk-in clinic. A little girl in the seat in front of me turned to her dad and said, "Death is the poor man's doctor." And that was that.
Edit: never realised this was an Irish proverb. Context: I'm Irish.

I am not a doctor, but I know what is happening..... she was having a night terror. this is caused when your body is changing stages in sleep and can confuse the mind. this happens to young kids and they usually get over it once they are older. me, my friend, and my brother all had it and we grew out of it. AND GUESS WHAT???? I'm 10 right now : )

His teacher asked my 5 years old son what is his favorite activity. He answered "I love to sleep." "More than playing soccer?" asked her. "More than anything in the world". did he reply. "I asked him why" told me the teacher" and he said: Because its like to be dead but without pain".

When I was like 6,my family used to go to the graveyard every Sunday to place flowers on my uncle's grave. I was bored out of my mind so I asked my mom if I could go and walk around the graveyard and she let me go because it wasn't huge graveyard. I remember walking up to graves and reading people's names,year that they've passed away and even talking to their family members if they happened to be there for the same reason my family was. I saw nothing creepy in that then,but now I'm really weird

From when I was a kid:
"Mommy look what I learned!"
inserts tongue into moms mouth during good night kiss
"I learned it from a movie! It means you love someone!"
mom calmly gets up without saying a word and walks to her room
I still cringe pretty fucking hard whenever I remember doing that.
