There’s no doubt that kids bring joy and humor to our lives. They often leave adults in stitches by blaring their charming wisdom without thinking twice.

From speaking about invisible figures in their rooms to recounting their supposed past lives, thousands of moms, dads, siblings, and even complete strangers rolled up their sleeves to type out some of the most unsettling responses.

I know of countless times where young kids somehow can tell when their moms are pregnant again. I wish the scientific community would investigate this further instead of just brushing things off. There is still so much we don’t know about the world and about science. There could be a scientific reason behind what we now consider “supernatural” phenomena.
I guess the departed can ‘reach’ young open minds. I wish I could see my grandmother 💕
When your loved ones are always around you, although passed on, and are looking out for you.
When I was in the first grade, we (My mom, grandma, and I) were visiting my cousins in the city. We lived about 45 minutes away and I saw them at least once a month. When it was time for us to go home in the evening, they say I was hanging onto my cousin and sobbing that I didn't want us to go home. Mom and Grandma relented and we spent the night in the city with our family. Our house burned down that night (electrical fire from some old Christmas decorations.)
I was told that when I was younger I was born at the same time and date as one of my still best friends, but we ended up only meeting each other 4 years later, and apparently we went to the same daycare, and when my mom dropped me off, the first thing she heard me say to my friend was not asking his name or the normal things, but I said," Hi (Blank for privacy purposes)", and he turned around and said," You remember me (My name)?" She said she it had ben the most puzzling thing to happen to her.
I have a roommate who can’t wear a electronic watch. It just kind of fries. Too much energy is my guess. He can also do hands on healing. I’m not religious although he is. I’m a medical professional so science is my guess.
From a physics standpoint, that's theoretically possible. For all we know, all black holes are pocket dimensions.
Ummm...parents teach by example!!! Children live by the example set before them. The old man was his dad. All kids look at their parents as old.
Our granddaughter, at a verbal 15 months old, was learning her shapes. Using our Christmas tree ornaments to show off her new skills, he pointed to ornaments and asked her to tell us each shape. Square, rectangle, diamond were correct. At “circle” she lit up and yelled GRANDPA. The circle ornament had been gifted by our local funeral home at the passing of my father. It had his name and years of birth and death stamped on the back. He died the year before she was born.
When my son was little, we were in a grocery store and the spring bulbs were in. I had him smell the Freesias, as they are my favorite flower in the world and remind me of my childhood. He smelled them and said, "these are Grandma's favorite". As he has a Granny and a Nana, I asked "Grandma who?". He looked at me as though I was being particularly dense and said "Your Grandma Lewis!". He was right. They were her favorite and we had them all over the house in the spring. She passed away 10+ years before he was born and I had never mentioned her to him before. It made her feel close ❤️🩹.
Some people have, a special sense, not sure what it is called, but these stories are for real !!!

His son (I think he was about 3 when his sister was born), scrambled up from playing with his toys and yelled, "No, Emmie! We('re) not s'posed to tell!".
Maybe someone had told them honestly about how children are born but didn't want them embarrassing people who prefer silly stories about gooseberry bushes and fairies?
Load More Replies...When my friend was little she had repeated nightmares about dying at sea on a burning submarine. She claimed to be a young man who died a long time ago. She said there were no survivors. She had waking memories of that life, too. Then, when she got older they stopped happening. A few years ago she had another one, very vivid. That morning the news was on about the hundredth anniversary of a submarine that sunk after catching fire, leaving no survivors. Pretty eerie.
