Having an imaginary friend is a totally normal part of childhood. It shows that the kid’s imagination is up and running and sometimes it can be quite hilarious how they interact with their invisible friends. Often the “friends” are the ones to blame for the troubles the little kids have gotten into, or they entertain them and share their daily life. However, when there’s what seems like paranormal forces involved together with a vivid imagination, it gets slightly scary and parents at least have Twitter to share the frightful things kids say with others.

At the end of the day, haunted or not, adorable or creepy kids and their imaginary friends are pretty hilarious and the following are the best tweets from the viral thread online. You can share your hilarious or scary stories about kids’ imaginary friends in the comments.

    This reminds me of a conversation my uncle started with my dad, he has a toddler that mumbles to herself and the walls. My dad asks why she does that and my uncle says I don't know maybe she talks to the dead. My dad then says "Have you ever thought that your dead, I mean it's a possibility that she talks to the dead so maybe that's why she talks to you because your dead. Although we can talk to you so maybe we can talk to the dead too."

    Wow, this one is intriguing. It would be even creepier if there actually were two people with those names, relationships and exact death.

    Many children remember their old lifes. When they get older, they forget.

    I think this is a case of reincarnation and the kid is remembering his past life.

    Car crash means not THAT long a time ago. There seems to be a pattern wherein reincarnation happens about 40 yeas upon the onset of sudden death. Residual memories of past lives evaporate off by age 5, typically. It might be worth the research to find out who your kid was, in a previous life. For a helluva story, if nothing else.

    My cousin used to say something like this when he was just 3. There was a bridge over a ricer a couple of kms from his home. He would say i fell off the bridge in a road accident while going to work. I don’t know hiw he got this, but a few tears before he was born, my aunt’s husband had died this way.

    While definitely unsettling, I also would see this as a sign of hope- that there's a life after death, and the spirit lives on...( I just hope I get some stuff right the next time!)

    I had an imaginary friend. He was a baby crocodile and he had no skin but he wore a diaper. I pushed a swing for him all the time. Unfortunately, I cannot remember his name.

    Sometimes parents will get extra food for their imaginary friend- I don't have an imaginary friend but I should make one up so I get extra of my favorites, and say my imaginary friend is not hungry when my mom makes disgusting food.
