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.

I am not shocked or surprised. I am happy for you. I believe if more people opened their minds and REALLY listened to children without immediately dismissing things profound or mysterious, we would know more about many things beyond the here and now on Earth. A lot if these revelations come forth before the child reaches an age where their current adult memory kicks in (most adults 30+ years of age can track REAL memory to around age 4-5 with only blips prior to that). I don't think that is a coincidence....

They say little kids can see things we can't before they are convinced it isn't real.

So, I'll set aside the "imaginary" and speak of the ones that have a spiritual connection. That said.... I've noticed that if it's about love, its heartwarming, and the spiritualism is OK. But about five numbers later, a kid calmly speaks of a dead presence, and the responses are much like THE KID IS NUTS, SEND THE KID TO THE MENTAL ASYLUM, BURN THE HOUSE, PURGE PURGE PURGE. I mean, WHAT the GODDAMN F***? ----- Honestly, they're the SAME, youse. They are BOTH signs of existence after death. It sometimes returns. It sometimes does not reek of love when it does. ----- Death is not to fear. Stop being stupid humans. At the VERY least, be less stupid, before you die. Because you will die.

Kids sense things adults don't. My youngest was talking about my aunt when she (daughter) was around 3 years old....... my aunt died when daughter was 1 1/2, and they had only met once, as daughter is born in the US but I'm from Denmark.

We Muslims believe they are invisible beings called the Djinn. Be careful of them they sometimes speak to kids and make them do bad things. They are manevolent beings and they aren't supposed to mix with humans.

Imaginary friends are always souls that have passed on and that are still around the family. When we are a little imaginary friends are encouraged and are OK, so the souls of those around us communicate to us and through us to the other members of the family. It’s not until we start to grow up and we are told that imaginary friends aren’t real, that we condition ourselves not to hear or see them. That’s quite sad when you think about everything that you lose in the process.

If all parents were as thoughtful as you more children would share moments like that.

    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."

    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.

    It's not what you said, it's how you said it. Imaginary friends are easily offended. Check Facebook and Twitter for proof.
