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

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? 😱😱😱😱

My grandad died when I was about 6 months old. As a toddler my mum and Nana said I used to chatter away to him in his chair. When I was about 7 I had measles and was kept in a dark room. I was poorly and remember having bad dreams slot. Grandad was always sat on my bed when I woke up. I have no memory of the live grandad and have never seen him since but I can still picture him in my bed pushing me.

This will out me but the spooky thing spoken was by me when I was around 4 and I remember it vividly.

I was being babysat by my dad and my uncle and at some point earlier than usual asked to go to bed, they both looked shocked and asked why and I said it was because I wanted the man to read me stories. They obviously put me to bed at some point not thinking much of it but I remember going to my room and getting into bed, shortly after I got out of bed and sat on my rocking chair and was found by my dad who had listened through the door to be giggling at a book in my rocking chair - Now this is the weird bit, I remember seeing myself in the chair, reading and laughing. I dont remember it from the point of view as in the chair, but rather on the other side of the room watching myself doing it.

I had forgotten about it until i was around 13 when my dad told me the story (him and my mum split when I was 5), he told me to ask my mum if i didnt believe it, But once he said it that image came flooding back. After looking through some pics in my nans house I picked out the man, it was my grandad who had died 4 years before i was born. My nan died last year and I desperately want ds to say something about her but so far nothing.

DD, age 3: "you see these scratches by your bedroom door Mummy? They're from the little boy with the really long nails who sits outside at night, trying to get in."

A little girl (Freya) in my daughters nursery had died, my daughter was sat on the loo and suddenly said 'Freya doesn't like you'! I said 'oh how do you know that'?! She looked around behind me and said 'oh! She's gone now'! She was only 3 and I obviously hadn't told her that she had died.

Shouldn't have read these at night. My oldest (now 16) used to have terrible night terrors - screaming in a really high pitched voice, kicking his legs like he was running and stuffing his fists into his mouth 'to stop them' ?!? He would then look straight at me and shout 'we've got to save mummy' - horrified me the first few times.

Not my family but a good friend:

When he was about 3 he said to his mum, staring at his own hands in wonderment:

"Now I'm a little boy, but I used to be an old man in a church."

Sat in the bath one day my nursery age son said "mummy when is the other one coming ?".

Me - "the other what darling ?"

Him "the other baby that was with me. The baby went away - when is he coming back?"

His twin died in utero. Nobody knew apart from me & DH and we have still not discussed twin with our DS yet.

Nomud we had ivf where only one egg went on to develop fully inside me, my lo has mentioned a brother and has said that he can't be here.
He also has random talks about when he used to be a grandad or a mummy in the olden days, says things that I'm thinking, tells me about what friends are doing...which turn out to be right.

Oooh also freaked out once when he was about 2...we were in the car parked up in the private car park, was lifting him out he looked past my shoulder eyes wide, startled, screamed and started crying and shaking, burying his face in my shoulder, I asked him what was wrong, he said 'its the lady!' What lady? There was no one around at all..'the lady with the black eyes'
Fair crapped my pants and got inside quick. 😨

My dd aged 2, about 4-5 months ago came in to me in the middle of the night absolutely shaking like a leaf saying the eyes on her bedroom wall were scaring her. Its got so bad that she now refuses to sleep in the dark & has to have a lamp on to sleep. We used to turn the lamp off once she was asleep but after a few episodes of her waking, screaming & crying cause the eyes were staring at her we leave the lamp on. Touch wood no more scarey eyes since

Husband at sea, home was an old cottage, 3 kids youngest about 2 at the time. Youngest woke a lot at night due to eczema and itching. Settled him down ... again !! and was just leaving the room when he told me about the old man on the landing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I clearly remember walking back along 'haunted' landing to our bedroom and repeating "don't think about it, don't think about it". What made it worse was after that we kept getting strong stale cigarette smoke smells. Always in the kitchen or outside of the garage. When we moved to Australia the smell came with us ... only the once though :)

These are fascinating!
I've heard before that children are far more open and receptive to woo things and that as you get older you just become less open.
Got to be something in it surely?

My DS 3 last weekend...we were driving in an area none of us has ever been, and were passing big old Victorian houses. He pointed at one out the window and said quite brightly "oh yes! My friend died in that house a long time ago. He was killed in there!". I said that was sad, and he said "don't worry Mummy, he was a big boy and it was a very long long time ago".

Makes you think.

DD who is almost 3, has recently started to mention 'the monster'. She runs from the back of the room (long dining/living room) and hides behind me from the monster and the most recent one (yesterday) was her sitting on the sofa and pointing up the stairs at something- 'there's a monster, make him go away mummy!' Followed by 'he's gone now!'.

I didn't go upstairs the rest of the afternoon.
