26 Chilling Things Kids Have Said That Left Adults Utterly Haunted and Speechless
Then he runs back, grabs his fork, puts some mac&cheese on it, runs back to the darkness and holds his fork up to it, like he’s trying to feed it. He started getting impatient that “it” wasn’t eating, but kept baby talking it. Finally he gives up, waves and says, “Buh bye!” And then goes back to watching tv like nothing happened.
When I was really small, my Dad would go out of town quite a bit because of his job. One night when he was at home, I went up to my Mom, who was in bed, and said, “Who is that strange man in bed with you?”
Mom blinked and said, “That’s your Father.”
Shortly afterwards, Dad stopped traveling so much.
I have twin daughters. One day while playing outside, one looked up at the sky and said, “The sky is cracked… and on fire.”
My other daughter looked up and said, “Yes…. the people are screaming.”
Then they went back to playing with dolls. Fingers crossed they’re not predicting the future, everybody!
Starting at about 18 months, my daughter had an imaginary friend. NBD. At first, we didn’t think much of it because she seemed to delight in its presence. She would talk with the friend, and play with him, and he was generally a protective presence although she said that he did like to get into mischief. After a few months of this, we started asking our daughter questions about her friend and she would give us very specific answers, like his gender, first and last name, age, hair, eye color, etc. My partner and I thought, wow, those are some really specific details for an 18-month-old to provide. So, we googled the name. Turns out, there was a boy who [passed away] in another state that matched the name, age, height, hair, and eye color of my kid’s “imaginary friend.” Now, thinking this imaginary friend to be a ghost, we asked my daughter if she knew how the boy [passed away], and she was correct. Mind blown.
After about a year of this “friend” hanging around, we summon the courage to message a group set up to memorialize the boy. We get a message back from the boy’s mom. Turns out she has the exact same profession as my partner and, months before we contacted her, had planned on visiting the city we lived in. We ended up actually meeting her later that year.
My daughter actually had this friend for about 3.5 more years and then he came around less and less. Every once in a while, she still talks about him, or sets toys aside for him. It’s crazy.
My three year old son said, “Next time I’m a baby, I want to have green eyes.” I asked him if he had been a different baby before being who he currently is, and he squinted his eyes, looked at me like I was an idiot, and said, “Yes, papa.”
When my special needs son was 10, he had to have a very serious surgery. It was an 8 hour procedure and it was a pretty risky operation. We did not tell him these risks. Right before they wheeled him into surgery, he hugged me and said “Goodbye. Forever…”. He made it through and his quality of life was dramatically improved by the surgery. Scariest 8 hours of my life though.
He started refusing to go downstairs (age around 3-3.5), terrified, saying there was an evil ‘angel man’ down there that wanted to hurt the whole family. Consistently drew the same picture of said angel man too.
I used to say things my grandfather used to say a lot. Like yelling out in German at our dog. My grandfather [passed away] years before I was born.
“Mommy, will you ever hurt me with a knife” I told her no. She followed up with “ok good. I know some moms do that” she was 3 when this happened. She had never seen videos or anything that showed child abuse, so I’m not sure how she was aware that some parents hurt their kids. Shes also never been abused by anyone.
My special needs son has made so many comments about keeping my body when I [pass away], I’ve considered specifically putting info into the will to make sure it doesn’t ever happen.
I have a freckle on either side of my mouth. My little sister once said that it looked like a good place to “start cutting”
Well, this morning I was lying in bed, my almost 2 year old came up, put her face right up to mine and I though maybe she wanted a kiss. Then she said “mama, I want eat your eyes please”.
My oldest daughter occasionally sleep walks. A few weeks ago she came out of her room and into the living room where me and the wife were watching tv. I asked her what was wrong and all she said was ‘The rabbits won’t stop screaming. ‘. Then she turned around and went back to her room. Kinda creeped me and the missus out a bit.
My daughter told me (at age 4 ish) that Santa makes toys by popping the eyeballs out of [unalive] people and chasing them around the floor until they turn into toys. Wtf.
A kid once sat near a camp fire and seemed to be lost in thoughts. I asked what he is thinking about. This 6 yr old said “I wish I was high up in space and the whole world was on fire. That would be beautiful.”
About 3 am I wake to find my 6 year old son just standing next to my side of the bed staring at me motionless. It was a very tense moment up to the point I asked him very easily “you ok son??”
He then came back with “I cant sleep” but I still wonder how long he stood there before I woke….
Looked over to see what my five-year-old niece was drawing. I was almost too afraid to ask who it was. “A girl that cries” is all she told me. I didn’t want to know if it was in our house.
My 5yo told me a story that went something like this: He said that Georgey-Porgery doesn’t come around anymore. I asked who Georgey-Porgey was he said “Georgey-Porgey is the man who comes in here at night. He said it’s not good to bang on walls, if you bang on walls all the beetles will fall onto your face and in your eyes and your mouth. Georgey-porgy and doctor Mecha are [deceased]. When you’re [deceased] you’re not anywhere anymore, dr Mecha says it’s really important not to [pass away], so don’t [pass away] ok?”
My one year old will point to a spot on the ceiling, say awwww, make grabby hands towards it then begin tracking whatever it is she sees and blowing kisses at it. I’m pretty sure it’s satan. Nothing good lives on the ceiling
My 4-year-old cousin said it was the girl sang to her at sleep I asked “what is about her neck?” She said “Oh she has a snake neck” I’m never sleeping again
