To ask - what's the creepiest thing your child has ever said?

[BackInBlack78]

Just this!

Why do I always read these? Totally freaked out now

When Dd was about 2 she asked me for her 'other mummy'.

I was absolutely gutted thinking she meant the OW her dad left me for.

I asked who her other mummy was and she said 'the lady who lives in the walls, she comes out at bedtime'.

And she used to go on about a poorly little boy who watched her and made her feel sad. She said he couldn't find his mummy so wanted to have me.

I couldn't sleep for months when he was around!

I was reading these and thinking about Matthew, my childhood imaginary friend. Then I started thinking what if imaginary friends are really ghosts and it's when children are most open to seeing them? Not sure if I believe it but I'm really creeped out...

DD was once in bed with me, because she was poorly with a completely unexplained temperature. No cold, no illness of any description before that night. I basically lay watching her all night, as she tossed and turned. She was whimpering about where daddy was and I told her he was in her bed. With that, she sat bolt upright, turned her head really slowly towards me and in a really deep voice said, 'No! I'm daddy!'

I jumped so high, I almost hit my head on the ceiling I think! Scared the bejesus out of me!

Seconds later, she asked me what I was doing and her temperature had completely gone!

Maureen that is really scary and horrifying! I would have woke daddy up and made him sleep with her!!!

Not my dc but once I was at a modern art gallery watching a story about an artist on a TV screen (not in English so subtitled. Small crowd also watching including a mother with a child about 3 years old. Suddenly the child pipes up ... 'and then she died'. Few moments later, text cropped up on the screen saying the same thing. Mother and I looked at each other, both thinking 'wtf??'

Not something she said but dd1 used to look to the top corner of the living room (we lived in quite an old house at the time!) and just smile really affectionately and sometimes giggle still stareing and smiling in the exact same space

Freaked me out no end. Shes stopped now, thank god but when she learnt to talk she would often refer to her friend June. We didnt know any Junes.

lol, he sleeps like the dead! She was perfectly fine after that. Completely 100%. Not one single trace of any illness. Most strange thing. I had only just before that checked her temperature again and it was getting close to making a call to NHS, then that happened and the temperature disappeared!

When dd was 2 we were on a train that passed a cemetary.
she suddenly said

When i was here before policeman killed me a knife and i was in there ( pointing to graveyard)
a few weeks later she said grandad used to call her gingernut. My dad was greek and woukdnt know what a gingernut was and dd was blonde

My dd referring to her "other mummy, not you". I kept saying "but, you don't have an other mummy", she was insistent and said really crossly, "you don't know her, it was before you were born".

Maureen That is very scary! Sounds like something out of a horror movie!

driving along a road in a county we hadn't visited before - daughter (aged about 3 - 4 yrs) said "I used to live around here when I was older".
My nan, who had died years before, did indeed live around there as a child.

Not long after DH's Nan passed away in the annex of the house we lived in, DS (then aged 3.5) immediately jumped up, pointed to the hall and asked "Who's that man who just came in?" I went out to the hallway where, of course, no one was there but he was adamant. We walked around the house to show him we were alone and ended up in the kitchen where there was a glass door to the annex. I stood with my back to it and reassured him with "See, there's no one here sweetheart" to which he replied "Who's that behind the door then?" I freaked out and rang DH who came home and to this day maintains that it was his Grandfather coming to "collect" his Nan's spirit. I've never been so creeped out in my life!

I took DD aged 4 to play at a new friends house (someone she has met at preschool).

Her new friend has a younger brother. All 3 children went upstairs to play while me and othe mom drank tea and chatted.

Children played well together; could hear talking and laughter.

On the way home I asked DD if she's had a good time. She said yes, but didn't understand why the other 2 children wouldn't join in.

I asked her which other 2 children... there were only 3 of you... she said "The 2 children who just stood and watched us the whole time we were playing. They wouldn't join in and wouldn't tell me their names. Who were they mommy?"

Couldn't answer that one!!

My ds used to tell me in great detail how when I was a baby HE used to carry me about on his funny arm. He said I cried all the time but when he carried me I was happy and that made him happy. My granda did this with me-he died when I was 2!! He even showed me what way his arm was 'funny' - my granda couldn't straighten his arm because it hadn't been set properly after a break and it was perfect for crying a whingy baby. My mum swears she never told him the story - and he was only about two when he said it. He talked for a few months about taking care of me and then he never mentioned it again!

When she was three my DN ran up behind me and threw her arms around my neck for a lovely hug, then she whispered in my ear ' I want to cut your head off and keep it in my kitchen'.

Lovely, thanks for that.

Some fab stories here and some that have me shivers on the back of my neck.

Ds3 aged about 3 was delighted to spot some flowers in a garden we passed. (I think they were white lilies). He exclaimed, "They were on the box I was in when I was in the church and my other Mummy was crying!"
Then happily continued to walk along the road whilst I trembled.

When ds3 was 3 or 4 (he's 6 now) he had a couple of days where he kept sobbing for his other mummy, saying he loved me but he wanted to see his other mummy.
He told us he was a soldier and died in fire ("there was lots of fire then I died and came here")
It was very weird, and dd couldn't look at him without having a panic attack - not helped as ds realised he could push her buttons and kept putting his face right up to hers and saying in a creepy voice "I died".
Apart from occasionally winding his sister up he's never mentioned it again.

When ds2 was little (he's now 11), he had some sort of psychic streak, we regularly had to drive along a very quiet, narrow road with no passing places, meeting another car was a nightmare. For several months ds2 would tell us to pull in as a car was coming, he was right every time!

No idea why it's posted that twice!

misery when ds1 was around 3 he said that he was pleased that he had chosen me to be his mummy. I didn't quite get the chosen part but told him told him I was pleased to. He then elaborated by saying "oh yes, I was looking through the window at the people in the café and didn't think they where quite right so I spun the world round fast then stopped it, and I saw you laughing in the rain and I knew that you should be my mummy."
He also used to talk about his home when he was man and that he was from China. He would tell us stories about Chinese dragons and tell us he used to be very rich. When I laughed it off and made a joke about him having lots of money, he said "that's silly, I didn't have money I grew lot of beans!"

When ds2 was a toddler he would happily play upstairs and run in and out of the bedrooms laughing then he would always run in his bedroom, stop and run back out crying and refuse to go back in because of the monster in the corner. This would be during the day and there was nothing in the corner of his room.
When he was around 6 we where eating at a restaurant/hotel which used to be an old post office. He needed the toilet but it was up a short flight of stairs (6/7 steps) so I went with him, nobody was around but he started looking behind the toilet door then back down the steps. He asked me "where is she?" I asked who and he said "the lady who was stood on the stairs". Apparently she smiled at us then walked up the steps in front of us and walked into the toilet then disappeared.

Ds1 & 2 share a room. Ds1 went through a phase where he kept telling us he was being woken in the middle of the night by a lady who would stand with her back to him in the middle of the room. I was reassuring him it was just a dream when ds2 chipped in that yes ds1 must be a dreaming cus he never saw a lady at all he kept seeing a black shape with red eyes and horns!

DD has this uncanny ability to say things that leave us shaking our heads, but tonight while getting ready for bed her random statement was a real doozy... "When I was born, I survived - I wasn't going to, but I changed my mind".

She doesn't know her birth story... I coded, she was also resuscitated as she was born not breathing and her heart rate was irregular - so to come out with this left me with my jaw on the floor.
