To ask for stories where a child has creeped you out

[UnlawfulBananaPeeler]

I’ve two instances;
I worked in a nursery and there was a little girl from a place in Africa, she barely spoke any English . Her dad was actually the leader of his tribe back in her home country so she was somewhat deemed a princess of sorts. She had a very demure heir around her for a 3 year old. She was very grownup. She walked up to a colleuge of mine, placed both hands on her stomach, kissed it and said BABIES. And walked away. Turns out she was pregnant with twins, she found out a couple of weeks later.
About 5 months later she walked up to me, places her hand on my stomach and again announced BABIES , and walked away... lo and behold a couple of weeks later..... (not twins though)

And my own LO went through a phase of asking to see her ‘other mummy’ and telling me she was a nice lady 😳

A child I used to nanny for years ago once took my face in her hands and stared very intently at my face then said ‘you have very nice skin. I want to wear it‘

i love threads like this!

my youngest sister used to make my parents say goodnight to "the man in the corner" in her room every night before she went to bed

Not supernatural or anything, but I used to work at a summer day camp and their were a pair of twins who were 2 years old who spoke their own language (Twinnish, we called it). They could completely understand each other even though nobody else could and it was like a series of squeals almost. And they'd spend most of free play time just rolling around on the floor together.

Not super creepy, but definitely a little different.

“I want to wear it‘“

@Horrordoeurvres please tell me you moved out and burned the house down! Haha

I thought of another one butvturnwd out to be innocent in the end, but it sure was creepy.
My grandad died after meeting my first child when she was only about 4 months so she wouldn’t remember. She was happily playing when she was about 2 and come up to me and said ‘Grandad ** by the door’ I went cold instantly thinking the lightbulb that always flickered was something more than bad wiring.

Turned out my mum has a picture of him on the unit by the door in her house and she’d told my LO ‘that’s Grandad **’
Honestly had a near heart attack that day

My 3 year old has recently started saying "I want to go home" sadly. ..when I explain that we are already home, he bursts into tears

[InspectorIkmen]

My DS - up til he was mid teens - used to refer to the 'house we lived in that burned down, you remember Mum - with the fire engines and ambulances and Police'. Never happened but he insists still that he remembers it. Creepy!

Once had my godson over night he was about 3. I woke up to an almighty bang and scream opened my eyes and GS ran towards me in the dark - I nearly punched him out of survival instinct! Thought he was a demon lol (think he just had a nightmare)

My nephew once freaked me out by asking me 'who is that behind you?' and was looking over my shoulder - there was no one there eeeek!

[Camomila]

DS age 2 a few weeks ago sat up in bed between us (we co-sleep) and said 'They are coming, they are coming!' really insistently while pointing to the corner...this lasted about 5 mins while DH and I kept asking who was coming and starting to frieck out a bit...




...Eventually we ascertained 'the dinosaurs are coming!' (Scary Paw Patrol episode!!) So we looked out the window and told DS the dinosaurs had gone to bed and DS went straight to sleep. It took DH and I a little while to go to sleep!

[auntethel]

DD used to have an imaginary friend who she played with around the house. One day I noticed she was looking up and talking. I said your friend must be tall? She replied "he's a man"!!! How do you tell a kiddie not to talk to grown up strangers when it's an imaginary one?

[Cuddlykitten123]

Collected DD1 from play group, she bounces in through kitchen door first while I bumped the buggy up the step, stops dead and in a quiet nervous says 'mummy theres man in the kitchen ', panic mode that were being burgled or something sets on but No. no man, house locked tight and empty, kitchen internal door was even shut so not reflection or anything. Creeped me out!! Safe to say we played in the garden till DH got home lol

[Fairyliz]

DD1 was always very keen on drawing and was an excellent artist from a very young age. DD2 was never very keen and use to just do random scribbles on a page.

One day when DD2 was four she seemed to be concentrating very hard and showed me a picture of a long thin rectangle with black curls coming out of it. I asked her what it was and she said it was an aeroplane?
I later switched on the television to see the world trade centre towers on fire after 9/11. This was the first I knew about it.

That really spooked me out as you can imagine

[FrillySpidersWillys]

My DN when he was 3 nearly 4 told his mum that he chose her to be his mum as she looked sad when he visited her and she looked like a nice mummy

My SIL had been trying for 5 years for a baby and thought it would never happen

[auntethel]

DD also had an imaginary pony. She used to cry if we'd forgotten to let him into the back seat of the car!! DH used to have to get out, open the back door and let the "pony" in, much to his annoyance Her little brother used to be sitting next to her looking completely puzzled, probably wondering how we were going to fit this "pony" in and then wondering where it was.

[Rebecca36]

My son, when he was about eight, told me he saw things flying around in his room at night, heard them too. I was freaked out, wondered if he was schizophrenic.

Years later he said he was trying to wind me up. Bah! It worked too.

[Elephant14]

When DD1 was about 3 she said the voices in her head were saying bad things about me!

[Horrordoeurvres]

@UnlawfulBananaPeeler Nope! we still live in the same house hahaa, I have a truly horrifying story though, when my bf's cousin was little he used to complain of this horrible scratching noise coming from his wall just behind the headboard of his bed at night, he used to cry and refuse to go to sleep. His parents thought he was just at it and didn't want to go to sleep in his own bed. Fast forward a few years later, the police showed up at their door and asked them if they had ever had any problems with their elderly neighbour who lived in the semi detached house beside them, which the answer was no. In fact they barely saw her the whole time they lived there.

Basically she had died, had no close family etc and when house was being cleared out they also discovered that this lady had some suspected MH issues and for years believed my bf's cousin was Satan and convinced herself she had to kill him to save herself. Her bedroom was on the other side of the wall joining on to my Bf's Cousins room and the scratching noises had been her trying to claw/dig through the wall to get to him at night. Thankfully as she was old/thin as dust at this point she didn't manage it. She had kept a very detailed diary of how she could hear him playing through the wall so knew that was his room, time stamps of when he had been out playing in the garden as she watched him through the window and what he was doing etc, scary stuff.

His cousins parents still live in that house miraculously and his daughter who is only 7 told him she didn't like playing in that house anymore as the scratching noises scared her having no knowledge of the previous events!!

I have obviously never stepped foot inside that house and will probably never ever do it ha.

Dd2 (5) the other week - ‘mum I don’t want you to die yet’ - I’m prefectly fine (I hope!!)

[Bunnybigears]

When DS1 was 8 and in bed I heard a loud bang from his room. I went in and he was standing next to a very old wardrobe that had come with the house and at his feet was a very old and heavy book of fairy tales which was usually on a high shelf in his room. He was stood so close to the wardrobe his nose was touching to door he then started gently headbutting the door amd whispering "come and play". It was a sleep walking episode but I had to leave the room and get DH to deal with it as it was far too horror movie like for me to deal with.

Another time I was asleep in bed, and woke up to find him stood over me. He said "am I dead?' I said 'no' and he just went back to bed.

[FrillySpidersWillys]

Horrordoeurvres wow that’s freaky, I would never step foot in that house

[optimusprimesmother]

Horror that is dreadful 😱

[Horrordoeurvres]

@FrillySpidersWillys if it was my house I would have knocked it down a long time ago and moved on!

[Horrordoeurvres]

@optimusprimesmother makes me feel ill to think about it! His parents did feel sooo bad afterwards for not believing him though, he said he had the best Christmas ever after that, got everything on his list and more hahaa

[HortenseTheHousecat]

When he was very young, maybe two and a half, my brother apparently just started going on to my mum about the wife and children he used to have. Freaked my mum right out. He knew their names and everything and they were things like Mary - not smelly bum or whatever my preschooler might come up with! He didn’t go to nursery or anything then, so we have no idea where he got it from.

[UnlawfulBananaPeeler]

Horrordoeurvres that is horrific
