my DS6 came running downstairs today holding a towel in his hand saying that there’s someone in his room and he wanted to whack him with the towel but that person dissolved into thin air. Apparently the intruder was white, wearing a long robe and did not have any feet. Luckily we’ve instilled a strong disbelief in supernatural in our son but I’m secretly freaking out haha

"When you die, Mummy, I'm going to cut off your head and keep it in my bed so I can always look at you."

That's quite sweet in a weird horrifying creepy sort of way 😂

My then 6 year old dd got emotional walking past an old building. She told me that's where people used to wait to go to heathen. She was hysterical. Every single time we went past it she would be so upset.

We looked into the buildings history . In the 1800's there was a cholera outbreak that caused so many deaths that the bodies were stored in this large house till they could be buried.

That before he had me as a mummy he had another one and named her..he was 3 and I had birthed him!

Pizzanightagain · 09/12/2023 21:17

My youngest said last week just before bed, that two children (just like himself and my older son) were dead and they really missed their mummy. They keep saying they miss their mummy. Mummy they died and now they can't see their mummy. He repeated it about 4 times. I was like, okaaaay then.

@PGmicstand @itsgettingweird I agree it’s (kind of) sweet. My DS always reminds me that my DH is going to die first and soon because he’s really old (DH is 41 😂😂)

'It's here, it's here' over and over again while pointing to the open door to the basement. Confused

Ladyj84 · 09/12/2023 21:20

Get the man out of my room and he always points to the same corner of the room....there's nowt in the corner not even a picture lol

Watchthedoormat · 09/12/2023 21:25

Why do you not go to bed mam. You don't need to lie under my bed all night.

I never laid under his bed or even on his floor. Ever.

Even as an adult the area gives her anxiety. Very strange

ShinyBandana · 09/12/2023 21:27

I chose you before I was born because you looked just like my mummy I had before

😳

My eldest was about 4 when he started to complain about " Gracie " scratching him at night, when asked who Gracie was he said she was a little girl with silver money eyes and she came out of his cupboard at night to play but she always scratched him and he didn't like it.

We moved about a year on, it was a really old house built by the local parish church, nearly 300 years old and a graveyard to the side of it!

When he was about 18 months old, DS waved to the corner of the room and said “Hello (my grandmothers name)”.
when he started school he told me that there’s a girl in his class called “my grandmothers name” but she’s not the same “my grandmothers name” that used to come and visit when he was a baby.
My grandmother died about 30 years ago!

My 16 yo Dd has talked about ' the other people in the house' all her life. Sometimes she'll casually say: 'they're sitting next to you now' when I'm on the sofa, or she'll make way for them as we pass on the stairs. She's ASD & very literally & I've no doubt she's seeing people. Doesnt help that if you Google my house name it's been mentioned as haunted (but she couldn't have known aged 2/3 which is when this started!). Scares me tbh.

BigBoysDontCry · 09/12/2023 21:35

Age 3, whilst looking out his window at a local tower/monument. "the man in that tower is really nasty mum, he tried to cut off the ladies head with a big axe! I hid under the table so he didn't catch me"
