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. But at the same time, they can surprise everyone around them by offering something a little more mysterious that’s bound to send chills down their spines.

That’s why when Texas-based writer Lilah Sturges asked people to share the eeriest things a child has ever said to them, they had a lot to say. 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.

From the bizarre to the straight-up chilling, Bored Panda has collected some of the best tweets from the thread. Continue scrolling and be sure to share your own spooky stories with us in the comments! And after you’re done reading this post, check out our previous ones with parents realizing their kids are acting seriously creepy right here and here.

    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.

    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.

    I am sure this was startling but I would continue to feed this kiddo the French language from that point on. That way he could continue to be bilingual.

    I don't know why the possibility of past lives creep the hell out of people. We all had to come from somewhere. It would make sense that we all are kind of like borrowed or recycled energy. I find it fascinating, but then again I have a terrible fear of death.

    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.
