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

I definitely got the impression it wasn't something nice. I originally was going to say something about killing us but i was very sleep deprived at the time. But I also had wierd feelings there too. I kept imaging lot of dead people in the garden. It wasn't a happy house that's for sure@raspberryjuiceandpompoms

Whereabout was your house @Harveyrabbit76?

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

😳

My DD said exactly the same thing.......she said I chose you because you were fun.

We stayed in a new hotel in Dublin on the docks . Dd2 then about 6 said a sad girl in a gray shawl had been in their room. She felt very sorry for her. She was very matter of fact and has never said anything like that before or since. She came again the second night too.

Not my child, but my 5 year old niece was over the other day. We were setting the table, with four plates for everyone in the room. She asked why there were only four. "What about the plate for the old man? The one who's always here?"

This is the freakiest thing I have ever heard lots of people used to put coins on someone that died.

IHateLegDay · 10/12/2023 01:57

"Mummy when you fall down the stairs in 3 weeks and die, can (best friend's name) me by new mummy?"

JustACountryMusicGirlInCowboyBoots · 10/12/2023 02:00

Definitely shouldn't have read this before going to sleep!

HarrietSchulenberg · 10/12/2023 02:18

Two of my children, then aged about 6 and 8, asked why my Mum had been round the night before, after they'd gone to bed. She hadn't. They both said they'd heard her say, "Bye bye" when she left. Both were in separate bedrooms and my Mum was still very much alive and well at the time.
My ex husband used to have an imaginary friend who was a giant hamster wearing human clothes. He was very vivid and real to him and they used to talk to each other at the time. He was about 4 at the time and his friend was a grown up hamster, apparently.

All of these are incredibly creepy but this one is my favorite! My elder DD is convinced that her baby sister is her poor departed hamster reincarnated. It's nice to think that they do carry on and make new friends like your DH! So cute but also creepy!

Not my children..but ME. When I was about 5 years old, I lived in Dundonald Belfast. My dad had been mopey for a couple days and my nanny (mums mum) came over one day to watch us. I had no idea why as she never did that as my mum was a sahm. Anyway that night I went to bed as usual. I remember I had my tamborine in bed, it was pink with a lamb on it. I looked up and my granda.. my dads father was standing staring at me in my door. He was not a nice man and I was terrified and went under the covers with my lamb tamborine. When I came back out he was not there. I never said anything to my parents until I was about 35 years old. My dad was talking about strange happenings in his life and I said that I had a dream that grandad was standing in my doorway. My parents scoffed. I told them it was the day nanny had us all day. Then I said. He was wearing a suit.. it was brown and he had a green tye on with it. My father went white..my mother..well nutcase that she was ran for a bible. I asked what the hell was going on. Turns out..the ONLY day I ever had my nanny as a babysitter was the day of my grandas funeral which I knew nothing of because my dad was really low contact. And I described the suit my father bought to bury his father in. Mind BLOWN lol

When DS1 was 2-4ish, he used to talk about the girl in his room. He knew her name, that she was 17 and had long, dark hair. She was sad because there was a fire in the house and her mum, dad and sister had all moved out but had left her behind. He used to say that she would sit on his bed and talk to him and play with his toys with him. He seemed to really like her, he said she was very nice and friendly and liked sharing her room with him. Scared the crap out of me, we used to hear children laughing in his room when no-one was there and footsteps as well.

We moved out when he was 4 1/2. He's nearly 13 now and doesn't remember it at all. The family that moved in have two young children, we are still in the same village and I'd love to know if either of their children have ever mentioned the girl. I tried to find out about the house/history of the land but couldn't find anything.

"I was talking to Grandad and he was croaky ". DS was about 3 at the time. He'd never met his Grandad because he died of throat and thyroid cancer (He'd had a tracheotomy) several years before DS was born.

IsAnybodyListening · 10/12/2023 10:51

My dd is 23 now. A few weeks before she turned 3 she came to look at the house I had just got a mortgage on. On the third floor (very large attic room really) she starts pointing at the top of the stairs and saying a man is there and crying. Took a bit of cajoling to go up into the room but she kept pointing at the ceiling above the stairs.

We move in. All fine. Fast forward several yrs and this story comes up in conversation with my NDN who had lived in the village all her life. She tells me years ago 2 brothers lived in my home, and one of them unalived himself in the attic bedroom.

Other than that, always had good vibes here.

Following. My DNephew (I don’t have DC) is into death, grim reaper etc and I’d lay money on hIm seeing ghosts but no matter how I’ve primed him and he’s 5 now he knows ghosts aren’t real or so he thinks.

His cousin who’s 6 and lives other end of country one mid to late afternoon when it was getting dark I’d taken her to playground and next to it is churchyard/graveyard with headstones stacked up by the wall, she said something about seeing children (no other children were there at all!) was about 3 at the time. I just grabbed her hand and said c’mon we’re going now, luckily DNephew was with us and he didn’t hear her but was a year younger then. He’s got ears like a bat too but I didn’t want him freaked out.

gingeristhenewblack43 · 10/12/2023 11:03

My DD when she was about 4yo said to me 'before you were my mammy I was Nana's mammy' My mam's mam (my nana) died before I was born. I told my mam and she asked my DD what her name had been when she was her mammy. DD was silent for about 30 seconds then said car. My nan's surname was Carr.

Another time I was lying in my bed with her trying to get her to sleep when she said 'Mam can you tell that man to leave?! I asked what man? And she said the one standing by the bed. So I asked the man to leave and DD said 'he's still there'. Again I asked the man to leave and DD said 'he's gone now'.

I asked her to describe him and she said he had long frizzy white hair and was very tall. Sounded like my Uncle who had recently died but DD had never met as we had no contact with him in his last years.

"Mummy when you fall down the stairs in 3 weeks and die, can (best friend's name) me by new mummy?"

I was going to ask did you die 😂😂

Luckingfovely · 10/12/2023 11:11

DD5: "Mummy, if this house burns down, could we get a bigger one?".

SapphosRock · 10/12/2023 11:12

When DD was 3 she randomly looked up at the sky and said 'I can hear my baby brother coming.'

9 months later i gave birth to a boy.

Harveyrabbit76 · 10/12/2023 12:03

It was in Surrey near Dorking. It was very old and had been a workhouse for the poor at one stage. It had different stairways and a blocked off room for smoking meat which was spooky@grundvig

Dinosaurpoo · 10/12/2023 12:55

Very interesting thread!
Ds, when he was around 3 or 4, randomly one day told us a very detailed story about that time before he was our child! Apparently he lived in Leicester and had a very nice mummy and daddy, until he died aged 6 in a car crash. It was so weird and random and precise. Freaked me and dh out a lot!
he’s never mentioned it since.

grundvig · 10/12/2023 14:52

Thanks for replying @Harveyrabbit76 I was intrigued by the mention of old farmhouse in connection with imaginary friend named Alice - but I expect there are a lot of them.😱

@SapphosRock That's really quite beautiful.
