The 30 Spookiest Things That People Have Ever Heard Children Say, As Shared In This Online Group
Kids, aren’t they precious? Little rays of sunshine, innocent, with pure hearts and big grins that can light up any room.
Yeah, well, right up until they’re not.
Everyone knows that children love to talk. I mean, why wouldn’t they? Every day brings a new experience which prompts them to question things and impart information to those close to them.
Plus, they’re very unpredictable creatures. One day they’ll be cracking jokes; the next day, they’ll astound you with their brilliance; and the day after, they’ll wake you up in the middle of the night talking about seeing an “old man” in your apartment who later turns out to be your dead dad.
That said, pull your chair closer and get ready for a spooky ride.
“Parents of Reddit, what is the creepiest thing your child has said to you?” – this web user turned to one of the platform’s most informative and thought-provoking communities, asking its members to unveil the eeriest things their kids have ever said to them. The thread managed to garner 630 upvotes as well as 685 comments containing some pretty hair-raising tales.

When I was about 4, I would remember talking to "Mr.Peterson" whenever I was at my grandmothers house. He looked like a hobo from the great depression and had a guitar and sang me old timey blues, he told me that he died when he fell of a train he was riding whist drunk on moonshine. I stopped seeing him when I was about 6.
Anyway, 6 months ago I found my dads old acoustic guitar and started playing, and my little cousin told me "Mr.Peterson is proud of you!" And left.
I dont know what to think

My "sighting confirmation" is when I saw a third person with two friends waiting for us on an isolated river bar. I'd said nothing when my friend with me said, "Who's that with them?" We both saw it, but there never was anyone with them. Obviously I'm omitting a lot of the story leading up to that point.

That's actually more sweet than creepy. I don't know why some people are so freaked by ghosts, especially if it's not being malicious. Some ghosts just don't know how to pass on, and try to look out for people.

My youngest daughter has always had a fear of the water that’s gotten better as she’s gotten older. But when she was a toddler, it would have been easier to baptize a rabid cat than try to get give her a bath. One night at around age 3, I was doing my routine of trying to get her in the tub to wash off when she said to me “I scared of the water. It’s how I died before.”
Yeah, the bath definitely didn’t happen that night.

Not my kids but I used to work with toddlers.
We had one girl who got so upset at changing time. She would cry and say "no, the man is watching!" when she was on the changing table. She would point to the ceiling tiles (sometimes the wind from the garden door knocked one out of place) and say he was watching. Freaked all of us staff out, we all looked but there was definitely no one there. We had to change her on a mat on the floor inside of a stall because she was so upset. We did that for the rest of the year.
The next years class starts... A little boy (these kids did not know each other at all!) starts crying on the changing table. "no! The man is watching!", pointing at the ceiling tiles again. Same situation for the rest of the year. Had to change him in a stall on the floor.
There was never anyone in the ceiling but it freaked us all out constantly!

My daughter hasn't said anything creepy as of yet, although it's weird she keeps insisting her dad's cello is Darth Vader, but one time my 2-year-old nephew just looked at me over breakfast and goes "are you broken?" and I really just had to sit there and let that sink in.

When I was young, like maybe two years old, my grandma was in the hospital, dying of cancer. Obviously i had no idea what was going on, but apparently one day when my mother and aunt were watching me, I suddenly looked at them and said "Only one Grandma"

One time when I was 10, in a summer camp, there was this counselor that I called mr cannibal (his name was Bill and there's a fish called a billfish that eats other fish) my mom worked there at the time and I helped her out a lot when I wasn't actively camping there. I retrieved stuff from the basement sometimes. I used to tell silly stories about the basement and I joked that that was where Bill ate his lunch because he didn't want anyone to know that he actually ate the naughty kids. Then he appeared out of no where and said "then we send clones home to the parents. Thats why we get money. We program the clones to act up after a bit and the parents send them back here because we always send back more well behaved clones"

My 3 year old nephew was at my cottage. He's asked me numerous times about the "girl over there" while pointing at one of the back bedrooms. The place is small, and there is definitely nobody there so I just dismiss it as a really active imagination (he has lots of imaginary friends).
Then some friends are visiting and they have a daughter around the same age. She has never met my nephew. Twice in the one day she asked about the "pretty girl" while pointing at the exact same room. Definitely caught me out and I didn't know what to think.
Then at Christmas my family was over at my place and my nephew points at a picture of my wife and asks if she is coming to visit us here or does she just stay at the cottage. My wife died ten years ago. Personally I don't really believe in paranormal stuff so it's probably just my logical brain putting together a bunch of kids ramblings but it definitely got my attention.

My oldest who was maybe 2.5 at the time told me she kept seeing an old man in our apartment. We didn’t think much of it because neither my wife and I believed in ghosts and our daughter had just started having an imagination. One day we were looking at photos of my Dad and she said “oh, that’s the old man.” He had passed away a few months earlier.
That or one time I woke up to her staring at me next to the bed. I asked her what she was doing and she said “watching you sleep. Just to see.”

I then fell away from the light and was confused when I hit the floor because it hurt and things weren't supposed to hurt.

My 3-year-old had been talking a lot about her "other family". About how she has a brother (she doesn't) and how she misses her old house and her old mom and dad. So one day I'm humoring her and asking details about them, and then I ask, "So what happened to them? Why aren't you with them anymore?"
She let out this huge sigh, looks down at the floor and said in this really defeated sounding voice, "They're dead."
To be clear, she has no other family. Her older sister was adopted so we wonder if maybe that's what prompted the other family talk. The other theory we have is that all the Pixar movies they watch usually involve some family member dying or being dead. But she doesn't know anybody who has died. But she's got this story.

1. My oldest used to talk about their other mother. They were about two or three. They would talk about their other mother and the little house they had lived in that was far away, so we couldn’t go there. Kid was my birth kid and had been with me since birth so IDK. 2. After my children’s grandma died, I was driving in the car just me and my youngest who was about two. Too young to really know about death. Suddenly the kid says ‘bye Grandma’ and I’m just like , what.. 3. Different kid than 1 and 2. We lived in a kind of creepy house, not scary but just a weird situation and kind of a strange layout of house. We all felt something was going to happen. Anyway, this kid would hear voices at night when they’d put their head on the pillow. They started to spent most nights in my room, in fact, by the time we moved out - we didn’t stay there long - the whole family was camping out at night in one room.

My 3-year old son and I were standing in the living room. He pointed behind me and asked “Who’s that guy?” I turned around and followed his finger to the blank wall behind me. I turned back around and asked “what guy?”, looking at him with a sly eye because I was trying to figure out if he was being silly or not. But he asked with absolutely no fear or concern I knew he was sincere. I even faintly remember him having a smile on his face, almost like he was pleased with this man’s presence.
“That guy.” He still pointed to the blank wall and there was still no one behind me. I think I responded with something like “oh silly, there’s no one there” and my son ended up just skipping out of the room with no more questions.
To make this a bit creepier: the apartment we lived in at the time had had some very odd occurrences over the years. Our cat would go insane in this one room (me and my husband’s bedroom) and always try to climb furniture to get up into this one corner of a wall that he would scratch at and even meow at sometimes. Our cat also loved hanging out in this room.
Many years earlier, there was a man who died in the apartment. I knew about this because my childhood home was actually adjacent to the house where I rented this apartment. My bedroom window looked out into his backyard. I had known that the old man had lived there, Henry, and it had been several days before someone noticed they hadn’t seen him in a while. Oddly, the man who noticed was the car mechanic who owned an auto shop next door to Henry. This mechanic later became my landlord because he bought Henry’s house. He also became my stepdad - another story.
So after some occurrences, I asked my stepdad where in the apartment Henry had died. I always thought It had been in the bathroom but, in fact, he had died while in his recliner, watching TV, in his “den”. The room my husband and I slept in. The room where our cat went crazy nuts.
Other weird things happened in that apartment that just gave me this…feeling. I was never scared or nervous, though. It was kind of like a “what the heck, Henry” type of feeling. If you ask me if I believe in ghosts, my likely answer would be “I don’t know that I believe in all of them, but I’m certain that some piece of Henry is in that house.”
TL;DR - My young son pointed out a man who wasn’t there in an apartment we lived in, followed by an extended story about other odd events that took place there.

I've also wondered about this, like a place that had a particular event happen has a scar of the people involved. I can't explain it any better unfortunately.

I was a nanny for a very long time. My two...favorites(?) are 1) while watching a 3/4 yo boy he said "I want to eat your face." Follwed by "Do you know why I want to eat your face? Because it's made of meat and I love meat." Que creepy a*s kid smile. 2) 5 yo boy had a hard time letting me leave for the day. When giving him a goodbye hug he held my face in his hands, got his face VERY close to mine and said "you can't leave! You have to stay here forever! Until you die."

My little one when he was about 2-3 said he had a friend named sharp teeth that ate bugs when he was little but when he grew up he ate light bulbs.
All I could think of is drop dead Fred. He still occasionally brings him up.

My son was 2 and woke up from a nap in his room, while we where leaving the room he suddenly stops and turns around and waved to nothing while saying “bye!”

He was waving to his bed. I know I look at mine longingly when I wake up.

10 year old daughter looked me in the eye, after passing a marquee of Carrot top...and said...do you think Carrot top has red hair "down there"...Without missing a beat, I said yeah but GROSS...she agreed and that was that. I STILL can't get over that...lol

They were likely walking by a theater that had a marquee (where they post the upcoming shows) and it was for the comedian Carrot Top.

As far as a lot of these, I really believe that little kids remember things from before they were born and from other lifetimes, but they either forget or get talked out of it as they get older.

We are out of state for a year, living in this 50 year old rental house. I heard my 2yo saying hi, and walked to find her waving up the stairs. I thought she was waving to her dad, but he was in the living room watching TV with our 3yo. Then, sometimes at night she looks in the exact same corner of our room and says “Night night” to the shadows, waving and going to give a fist bump. It’s creepy AF and we’re debating breaking our lease to go back home early.

I was 2yrs old, my sister was about 6 months old and my mother was pregnant with what Drs told her was another baby girl (for a month they are the same age). When she told me I was going to have another little sister, she said I looked her dead in the eyes and said all seriously that "no, two sisters!". She laughed and brushed it off, but for the next few months I continued to insist that she was bringing home "2 sisters" and no amount of Drs or convincing would tell me otherwise. My mother even had another ultrasound done to prove it. Well imagine the surprise when she delivered 2 healthy baby girls. I know it may not sound creepy to most of you, but it scared the SH*T out of my father. Apparently my mother weaponized me and would have me randomly blurt out "3 this time!" and watch the color leave his face.

My son is obsessed with cats and wants one. Aged 2.5 I explained we can't have a cat as Daddy is allergic (son has allergies so he could comprehend this). Two days later I was walking with my son and he suddenly said "Mummy, Daddy's going away", to which I asked when he's coming back. Son, with deadpan face replied "he isn't". Kid really wants a cat
