To ask what is the creepiest/scariest thing your kids have ever said to you?

[Badger84]

Being Halloween soon and all - I will start. My nana used to live with us before she died and her room was always knows as "nana's room" after she died the room was changed into a storage room. DD who was only 1 when my nan died (now nearly 3) came downstairs to say "who is that lady upstairs in the spare room" I asked what she meant and she said the one sitting on the bed. There is no bed in the spare room now. It took me several weeks to pluck up the courage to go into that room!

What are your experiences? 😱😱😱😱

[HumphreyCobblers]

I always tell this one but I love it.

DS had an imaginary friend called Alan. This made us laugh, who is called Alan??! He was the little boy who lived in the mirror. One day ds, who was four, was looking really mournful and said 'I want to go home" "But you are at home, silly" I said. "No, this is Alan's home. I want to go back to MY home".

This was slightly freaky, but I forgot about it. A year or so later I did some research on the house, which is very old, and discovered that there was a servant living here about 100 years ago. He was called Allen Fisher.

I must add that I am sure it is just a co-incidence but my niece has taken some persuading ever to sleep over since

Great thread! When my DD was about 2, pretty much every day she'd look up at me earnestly and say "Mummy, we're going to die." Sometimes she seemed to be waiting for a response, although the best I ever managed was a nervous titter. Although this naturally scared the shit out of me, a part of me not at all pfb thought she was wise beyond her years, and merely reflecting on the brevity of our time on this earth. It took me about a month to twig she was actually asking where we were going today.

[Vanillaradio]

Ds was not quite 2 when he wandered into the kitchen and started pointing saying "man man man." Really freaked me out, till he picked up his copy of "Stickman" with a huge grin and said "there man"!
A couple of weeks later he ran to the back door and pointed upwards and started shouting "die die die." I was so shocked it took me a while to work out he was actually pointing out the sky!

Dd 17, 'it's ok mum I have cleaned the bathroom after fake tanning and dyeing my hair'

Now that would be bloody scary

Great thread

We got chatting to a couple on holiday recently. They had a cute 3 yr old who used to play with us in the pool and when I told her we were going home tomorrow she said "the plane's going to crash and you'll all die" then carried on splashing about as if nothing had happened. Luckily we made it home in one piece but I was a bit spooked out.

[CoodleMoodle]

Putting 2.7yo DD to bed the other night, she looked up at us and said:

"Can you make it so that they aren't looking at me?"

We still can't work out what she meant...

[serin]

I awoke one summer night to a small child sized skeleton standing by our bed. Took me a while to realise DS1 had routed out his glow in the dark Halloween outfit and put it on.....just because.

[timelytess]

Coodle - she might be seeing demons, or just their eyes. I did as a child.

[aquashiv]

I never want to leave home. ...

[aquashiv]

Oh sorry I misread that. ..
One came running out of his bedroom screaching as he saw a hairy hand come out of his x wardrobe. ...
Not as scarey as him never leaving though...

[DeathByMascara]

Tess, think you'll need to elaborate on that!

[thisismyfirsttime]

My dd was very unwell (for her) last week so one night I took her from her bed to put her into mine when I went. As I was putting her down she was half awake and said 'gibberish Naughty Man!' So I said 'what naughty man?' And she said 'there!' Pointing at the doorway. Freaked me right out as we've never mentioned naughty men and we've recently moved into a new house that was lived in for many years by a man after his wife died who went into a home

[timelytess]

Tess, think you'll need to elaborate on that
Erm... how? I saw demons. I saw them even with my eyes open. My room (in a new build) was spooky. A lot of children suffer from seeing eyes, just pairs of eyes, watching them. I did too. Mine were the demons' eyes. Mostly I got whole faces. They still turn up from time to time. But scariest is seeing them in drawings in someone's book or on a history programme, because then you know other people have seen them, too.

[purpleponcho]

It sort of annoys me to admit this, but my child waves and smiles at something over my shoulder in a specific room at FIL's house.

MIL died in 1969 and whatever it is that my kid can see calms her down when she's crying and makes her GIGGLE, which she doesn't do much (She's autistic).

I definitely don't believe in all this crap but my husband, independently, hesitantly mentioned exactly the same thing. We're both rational and unimpressionable people.

About 10% of the time, I think she can see her late grandmother, who sadly died when my husband was 5.

I'm sure it's nothing, though.

I never feel threatened but I don't particularly like being in that room by myself.

[kavvLar]

I have just come back from a caravan holiday, only me and four children aged 2-7. The last night I put everyone to bed and then went to the loo and went to sleep. In the morning I woke first. Loo had two entrances and both were locked from the inside. None of the kids had been near it. Managed to pick the lock and the heater, which had been on all stay, was switched off. Again no idea how to even turn it on or off. Can't explain it but freaked me out.

[Boogers]

This is not the time to start reading this thread!

[blessedmummyov5]

Not long moved into a new house when TVs and lights and stereo wud turn on/off by them self in my mind I told myself it was just electrics these things happen my 3 year old used to laff wen it happened it wasn't till about 2 weeks in I was watching TV when it went of wen I was watching something interesting and I shouted oh come on give it a break to the TV and my son then walks in and told me I'd upset the boy and he wasn't happy , I said what boy he said the one that plays the switch game I said what's the switch game he said the boy turns the switches on and of I asked who the boy was he told me he hAd no name I asked him what he looked like and he gave so much detail it really cudni of been a lie the switch game continued for the 2 years we lived in the house my son told me the boy was sad we were leaving my son then asked of he cud come with us I said no and never Hurd about him again !

[blessedmummyov5]

When my nieces were about 6/4 the oldest one would constantly talk about the bad man in her house tried telling her it's no real etc but this man kept telling her to do bad things things got real when she told us the bad man had told her to kill everybody when they were sleeping !! Sis Ended up getting 2 priests out to bless the house once that had happened she never spoke of him again even tho it had gone on for months before priests came out , kids defo gave a gift for seeing stuff

[cleanasawhistle]

When my son was about 3 and at nursery one morning he said to the nursery leader that he didn't like the two men lying in the corner with blood on thier faces

[AmberNectarine]

Not scary or creepy as such, but my DD (4 at the time) told me last year that 'Grandad isn't your real dad', which did give me a bit of a WTF moment. He definitely is though, unless my mum got it on with a secret twin brother, as we look very alike. Just such an odd thing to come out with!

I was a little weirdo though and had a habit of foretelling the future/tempting fate. Best example is when my mum and I were away for the summer at our holiday home. I said, apropos of nothing, to my mum: 'nothing exciting ever happens in '. Not half an hour later we hear on the radio that someone has been shot ON OUR ROAD. Bear in mind this is a very quiet suburban town in zone 2, not exactly The Bronx. My dad couldn't get into the house as it was part of a crime scene!

[PussCatTheGoldfish]

'Mama, grandad's climing out of his hole'.
Whilst pointing at the dark long lane that leads up to the churchyard where he is buried. DD1 was 3 when she said that.

[Haudyerwheesht]

Dd when she was 3 went through a phase of gazing out of windows and saying 'mummy I can see the end of the world' . Finally realised she meant the horizon!

When she was 4 we were at a friends house. It was in the middle of nowhere and it was pitch black outside, really old farmhouse. We were having a drink in the living room and Dd and the other kids were in the kitchen / diner which had floor to ceiling Windows. Dd was (again!!) staring out the window then came running through sobbing and saying the girl in the garden kept staring at her 😵. She was hysterical which isn't like Dd at all. Once she calmed down she described the girl as 'standing still and staring from the garden' which freaked me out. She also said the girl was wearing a red dress and hair the same as hers which is when I realised it was bloody reflection!!!!!

[Dontpanicpyke]

tess demons? Scared now what do you mean?

[MrsRhettButler]

Dd2 as a baby never settled in her bedroom although dd1 had never had any trouble. She used to have night terrors and would stand in her cot pointing and screaming and jump on me and scramble up me as soon as I came in!
She's 5 now and it doesn't happen really anymore but she did wake up once recently screaming and adamant that something was in her room. I turned the light on to prove nothing was there and she freaked out even more and screamed 'NOW DO YOU SEE IT MUMMY LOOK I TOLD YOU!'
Funny enough I've never liked the room myself or felt comfortable in it and it was dd1's room for 6 years before dd2 came along and I used to hear voices in the baby monitor when it was dd1's.
I honestly can't sleep in there myself.

[MrsRhettButler]

Haudyerwheesht I've done that to myself in my kitchen window! Nearly had a bloody heart attack I'm telling you!
