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.

    I want to know what happened! Did a ghost come to the door? Did a old man answer, then start crying because Stephan was his son that died at a young age? Did they just keep on driving? Did someone called Stephen actually answer the door? The possibilites are endless.

    “Okay son, let’s go see Stephen.” They knocked on the door and were invited in, and were never heard from again. They were forgotten, and no criminal charges were ever brought and no investigation was made. Thirty years later: “Mom, can we stop at the pink house and see Stephen?”

    The kid gave the mom directions to a house they've never been to before and said that's where his imaginary friend lived and he gave a description of the house before they got there so it was even creepier

    I would do that. Just straight up forget and he would die and I'd be like, "Oh, well, whatever."

    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.
