My brother is buried next to his 2 babies. We were visiting their graves and my daughter (4) asked me why the little kids were running around but she couldn’t. We were the only ones there.

My daughter told me I was pregnant before I even missed a period. “Mum there’s a baby in your tummy. A real one. A boy one”. She now has a brother.

Could be a big coincidental, playful, idle chatter. Maybe she was really hoping for a baby brother.

My son said “some guy in heaven picked me for you because you needed me”- we aren’t religious.

It is possible someone has been talking to him about religion and d***h. Grandparents? Neighbours? Other kids?

My nephew told me “they kept waking me up and walking around my bedroom.. they have red eyes and no face or body.. I can ask if they want to see you?” .. no ty.

I would not be leaving that child to sleep in the bedroom until I got to the bottom of what he's seeing. It could be car lights, trick of the eye in the dark, spirits, anything. I would set up cameras with audio. See if he sees the same thing in another room at night. I'd be too chicken to stay in the room myself, ngl 😅.

My brother [passed away] when I was 4 months pregnant. My son is 4 & has been “talking” to uncle Mike since he was able to say full words. & I fully believe bc his toys move a lot more than I like to see.
StrangeOne 12 hours ago
Better hope it's his uncle. The scary thing with kids being able to communicate with these invisible souls is the parents cannot validate who, or what, if anything, their kid is interacting with. Just like a stranger approaching a child claiming they're so and so who's a family friend, or long lost relative, there could be free-range souls doing the same thing with kids. The only way for parents to determine if their kid is being contacted by a known passed relative is if the kid can ask a question that kid cannot know the answer to, and only the parents and passed relative know. Like a deep, private secret.

Mine told me “I used to be in your belly and then I flew away. But I came back and I have a strong body now”. I had a miscarriage five months because she was conceived.

I take it 'because' was meant as 'before'. This one is interesting. It could be how she understands where babies come from, but has some facts distorted with fantasy. Such as knowing babies grow in the bellies of their moms, but may still believe storks deliver babies, too. Highly coincidental. But if the mom wants to believe her first baby's soul made it's way back and that's what heals her pain, then I'm not going to crush on her for believing that. There's so much we don't know about.
#7
My son told me he [passed away] in a fire before he was born. Fun fact: my son was born 30 days after my husband [passed away] in the line of duty as a Fireman in a roof collapse house fire. My son doesn’t know.

This is something that is best left for the family to believe in. Respectively, again, there are things we don't know about in this world regarding birth and d***h, and what the energy forces in our bodies are from. Apart from our working organs.

My son said to his Grandpa, “Remember when we were best friends in that other life, in the war time?”
StrangeOne 12 hours ago
This one is peculiar. I do believe in past lives, and sometimes, for brief moments, a previous life fragment of a memory slips in. It can't be explained as a fact, but as a theory.

When my daughter was three, we were looking at a scrapbook that had photos of my mom who passed when I was 10 in it. “That’s grandma who comes and hangs out with me in my room” she says.
StrangeOne 12 hours ago
Awww. Sounds like grandma is looking out for her and isn't scaring her.

I asked my son (3 at the time) what songs he sang at preschool that day. He tried singing one, got frustrated, and said “ugh I used to be able to sing it when I was a man.”
StrangeOne 12 hours ago
Yeah, this one is just the kid using his imagination. He probably recited it well in school, and then it faded after school. Kids like to pretend while learning in class. I used to pretend I was from another planet, made up a new, "alien" name for myself. I also used to pretend I was a vampire. Vampire shows were a bit of an influence on me. I tried sleeping like I was in a coffin. Not super comfortable.
#16
My daughter told me her "real name" was Rosa and I needed to take her to find her husband Carlos who still lived in their brick house that looked like a school.
#17
My son had an imaginary friend named Bobby. But when we moved Bobby wasn’t around anymore. “Bobby had to stay at our old house mommy, he couldn’t come with us.”

My sister passed in ‘09. I was doing flash cards w my son when he was 1.5ish and showed him a doctor holding an xray of a skull and he said “Akacia!” (that was her name) I have it on video.
#19
When we talked about several years ago I said she wasn‘t with us yet and she said "I have always been with you, I just wasn‘t born then."

What was her age? This could be a spiritual nod that she was with her mom in spirit, as a warm gesture of assurance and comfort, rather than supernatural, or paranormal.

2 year old asked me where Lu was. I said sissy? (Lucy) he said no. I said Luna? (our dog). He laughed and said no mommy Lu the angel. My late grandmother's name is Lu.

We used to live in my fiancés late great gmas house. One day we were leaving & my daughter ran to the EXACT spot she passed away in, looked up & said “Bye love you so much” & waved. I was flabbergasted.
#22
Mine told me she likes me better than her “other mommy that i used to have when i was old.”
#23
My daughter was around 3 or 4, looked at me and said, "I was your age when I became a ghost. I was a mother, just like you."
#24
Not my kid, but i was like two months preg and was at a birthday party for a friend’s kid. One of the other kids came up to me and said “you have a baby in your belly” 😵💫 found out a month later!
#25
I was done having kids. My oldest said “is my sister in your tummy yet? Then again weeks later said “my sister said in my dream that’s she’s going to be in your tummy soon!” I was pregnant a couple weeks later with her sister. We also got a gender test that was false and said boy and my oldest said it was wrong (she was right).

My son was having full conversations with his Nana who [passed away] a few hours before he was due to meet her. He was telling me word for word what she was saying and was even having little laughs with her.

My granddad visited my daughter 20 minutes after he passed. She didn't know him very well. I wasn't that close with him, and he lived out of province. My dad said he was excited to us later that year, when we were supposed to take a trip to see him. However, he just couldn't hold on any longer and passed away months too soon. My daughter was distraught that night, though, saying she saw an old man her room, saying he said "Hiya, (her name)". That's how he greeted people. That morning my dad called and said granddad passed away, gave the time. It was 20 minutes before my daughter said she saw this man in her room. Later that day, we looked at old pictures. Some she hadn't really seen before, as she was only in Pre-K. She instantly pointed out a picture of my granddad and said that he looks like the man she saw. It's not always a pleasant experience for kids to see their deceased loved ones. My bf also told me he saw his granddad after he died and it scared him, but he misses him, too.

Mine said “my whole family [passed away] in a car crash except me. I was saved by a fireman and came to this family.” My husband is a fireman.

When he was younger, he used to call the school a railway station. It was a railway station, just 70 years before he was even born.

If that's the case, the building would be resembling a train station, perhaps have information regarding the history of the building throughout the school, and have old tracks around it.

My then 3 year old kept saying an old man comes from her closet & was trying to take her out her window. Former homeowner told me same story about her daughter in that bedroom.
StrangeOne 12 hours ago (edited)
Why are parents keen on letting their kids continuously sleep in bedrooms their kids are, not only uncomfortable sleeping in, but claiming someone is actively trying to kidnap them? I would be tearing down the place, looking for clues of squatters and calling the police. It's not like it's unheard of for a m******r to be hiding in a closet and attacking at night.
#33
I mentioned a car (a Saturn) my dad had when I was in HS, 20 yrs before she was born. My daughter immediately said, "Was it gold?!" "YES! how did you know?" "Because I saw it when I was a ghost."
#34
My daughter was fixated on johnny cash for a while, and started getting scared of a specific corner of the house (she refused to go near it until we moved). she would point to the corner and say “johnny cash is in the walls.” she wasn’t even 2 yet.

This is what people really mean about "old souls". People, including kids, with a strong sense of being absolutely burnt out, exhausted with life they don't want to go through it again. They are unafraid of dying, the older they get the more anticipated they are about d***h, finally being able to be put to rest and they plan out their funerals and burials before retirement. My mom has been this way. In contrast, I don't want to d*e and there's so much I want to see, explore and do that it's overwhelming.
#43
My niece when we were praying before bed she said “God thank u for my lil sister Lily I hope she’s safe” my sister was pregnant then with the chosen name Lily but she’s never mentioned it to anyone.

My son said when I was pregnant with him he crawled up into my brain. I asked him what it looked like and he just said small.

When my oldest was 4 I asked where he was before he was born, he said he was up with the stars watching people live their lives on earth but no one could see or hear him & that made him sad.

Why ask a 4 year old this? I can understand if the kid brings it up and the parents want to see where the kid goes with it, especially if it's something the kid may need an assessment for. But out of the blue? That's something some parents do to plant ideas into their kid's heads so they keep saying stuff like that to freak out other people.

My son goes crazy when he sees the river. He said he crashed in the river and couldn’t get to his family and [passed away]. He’s 3.
