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

[BackInBlack78]

Just this!

Omg, read all these and then burst in to tears at the last one. And the one about mummy standing in the rain and being chosen..

I was looking at a house with a friend with DS, she wanted a fixer upper and had asked if I would go and help her look as DH and I used to do up fixer uppers, and had a habit of living in the creepy house at the end of the street.

One of the houses had a really repelling vibe, made you feel like you needed to leave. It hadnt been lived in for several years and was verh run down, but a was once a beautiful place.

DS (3) was in the sling on my back (to keep him away from anything rickety or dangerous). After we got to the top of the stairs he whispered in a terrified voice "mommy, that bad man followed us up the stairs".
I turned around and couldn't see anything, so I asked DS if the man was still there. DS nodded and pointed to a spot at the top of the stairs. " He said he wants to hurt you so he can eat you mommy".
Poor DS was shaking and my friend and the realtor were white too. I laughed loudly and said in a sinister voice to the space DS was pointing at "Not if I get to eat you first, now come here, YUM YUM YUM!!!! I rushed forwards grabbing at thin air and kept making yum noises. Then I asked DS, who was laughing by now, if he was still there, DS said " no mommy he looked very frightened and ran away".

Friend and realtor were aghast insisted on leaving the house there and then.

DD then 2 was afraid of flys. We were upstairs in the spare room and a look of fear crossed her face and her eyes followed something into her bedroom.

I sighed and assumed that she was looking at a fly. I started to reassure her and she said "the man mummy, it's the man". She told me he had a beard like daddy.

Later in that day, she started to jump and giggle and wave at the patio doors. When I asked what she was doing, she told me that she was playing with the man who was now standing in the garden and was called Peter.

A few days later, the radio turned on at full volume in the middle of the night.

It all settled down until DS turned 2 and pointed to a corner in the living room shouting "the man".

The DTs turn 2 this summer but we're moving house - wonder if the man will join us?

"The bad man followed us up the stairs"

I'd have been out of that house like greased lightning.

Apparently my cousins son used to play with an old lady, he could describe her to a T and referred to her by name. The same name as our grandmother who passed away before he was born. Description also fitted!

Mine have never come out with anything spooky, thank goodness! I

Don't think mine have ever said anything, but I used to freak my mum out by toddling down the stairs in the morning and telling her in great boring detail about whatever dream I'd had. She would always be as it was the same dream she'd had.

Not me as I don't have dc yet but this is something my dbro told my dmum when he was 4/5. She picked me up from school one day (I was 8) and was told by the teachers that I'd hurt my leg during PE. She helps me to the car and she says to my dbro and says "We've got to get Hunter home" and dbro said "I know. She's got a bad leg," The weirdest thing was he was in the car when my mum went into the school to pick me up.

The one about choosing the mummy who was laughing in the rain is just lovely!

HunterofStars your DB saw your mum help you to the car. He would have been able to see that you'd hurt your leg despite not having been there to hear the teacher tell your mother.

This is a very worrying thread.

My dn, when she was 6, at my pre wedding rehearsal dinner, said of my husband to be (her uncle) 'I had a dream about him..he had blood all over his face.' I think she was going through a dark phase.

Flisstizzy Have you shared that story on MN before? I swear I remember reading a very similar thread to this, and someone mentioning their child referring to "other mummy". Unless it's just deja vu!

My dd used to always talk about her other mum. "Peggy". Anyone she was sitting on the stairs chattering away and I was busy pottering around. Next second she ran to me with a Beatles CD and said. Mummy Peggy said will you put John " Mennen' (Lennon) on. I went to colour of boiled shire. She was only 3. She certainly couldn't read. As far I'm aware. She didn't even know who John Lennon or The Beatles were, also. Even if she did. There were no pictures of them on the CD.

Rather than DC it's me who causes most of the fright.

One night I woke up to see someone crouched by the bed looking at me and I screamed the house down. I was told off for being disruptive.

There was another time too but I can't recall why I did it.

I babysat for a friend's son. He watched me knitting for a while and then informed me that his "other mummy - not this one" used to knit.

With DD (now 1) I read a book which advised to see when baby seems to naturally get sleepy and instigate your bedtime first around then. We noticed that DD would fall into a fairly deep sleep on us downstairs at around 9pm and we'd then transfer her into her sleepyhead when we went to bed around 11/12. So we started doing her bathtime and a big feed around 8 then I fed her to sleep. We then gradually brought the time forward as she seemed to be getting tired earlier, until by around 4/5 months I'd say she was going to bed at 7. I think you're setting yourselves up for a hard time trying to make a young baby go to bed at 7 (although I know some do so clearly it isn't one size fits all!) but you can but try and see!

Ha ha wrong thread! Put phone into pocket and forgot which thread id been reading

We were out for dinner and I took my niece who was about 3 or 4 to the toilet as she was sitting chatying away (while dinner gor cold) she started giggling and saying hello looking past me. There was no one else in the toilets.

She then started chatting that we were out for dinner for Auntie Redglitters birthday & rhyming off who was there. I asked who she was talking to and she replied 'Gran & Grandpas friend. You know with the black dog' My aunt, who had a black lab, died 3 weeks previously. I hurried her out and we finished dinner.

We went back to my brothers & told him what had happened. He went upstairs and got a photo album and sat with my niece and went through the photos. She sat and pointed to who was in the photos - he said nothing. All.of a sudden she looked up & shouted 'Auntie Redglitter look look it's Gran & Grandpas friend' she turned and said to my brother 'I saw her in the toilets she spoke to me and I told her we were there for a birthday' It was a photo of her & my aunt when my niece was a baby. We all just sat with type faces

God I love these. I don't believe in life after death but it does make you wonder!

Stuck in a traffic jam in a city centre when DS1 was 5, next to a tool hire shop. DS suddenly looks up at the shop and says in a creepy voice "Ooooh! Petrol driven chainsaws!" He's 24 and we still take the piss out of him for this!

Crunchy, I don't think I've shared it before. There's a couple of other posters mentioning 'other mummies' too - eeek getting goose pimples. She never mentioned it since and I'm certainly not bringing it up again!

When DD was about 18months old she said 'hello mumma' as I walked into her room "hello DD" I say, 'no you mumma, him' and pointed behind me. Scared me shitless

Another time (she was around the same age) there was a weird noise on the baby monitor so went into DDS room to find her stood stock still and silent, she turned her head to me, body still still and said in a low voice "get out" yes I hightailed it out of there, sent DP in who said she was fast asleep.

My DD aged 7 once said from the back of the car on a very dark night driving home "mummy...I can still feel the devil..."!
