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

[BackInBlack78]

Just this!

So we moved house from an old drafty victorian conversion flat to a more modern house. I asked my very pragmatic 8 year old dd if she missed the old flat, and she replied "I prefer it here because there aren't any voices in my bedroom". I literally went cold as her face was deadly serious and she said it so matter of factly! I casually asked what she meant and she told me that when she was in bed she used to hear a child's voice in the dark saying "are you there? I know you're there. .are you listening?" Arrrrgh!!!!

In car with friend,her child,me.roadwork detour.so drive past unfamiliar graveyard
Toddler suddenly sits bolt upright from sleep,and says thats were im buried
Child Then immediately fell back asleep.we were like ohhhh,and never much spoke of it again

We stayed at a hotel by the river in Dublin for a city break. Dd aged 5 very concerned about the poor little girl in a shawl who was "so so sad" and in her room both nights. She has never said anything like that before or since (2 years ago now).

When my eldest DD was 3.5 years old she used to tell us about the men and women who would stand around her bed at night wanting to talk to her.
A few months later she told us about the girls who would stand around her bed each night.They were all wearing long white aprons, black dresses and had long hair - we live in a Victoria school house!!
The same DD moved into a new bedroom in the same house and told us night after night about a girl called Elizabeth who would visit each night. She'd wear the same Victorian school uniform but would never speak. She said she lived in the walls?!

My DS2 always used to talk about his "other mummy" too.
He also said when he was a ghost baby he used to watch us.
He's 9 now and never mentions it.

Blatant place mark. Love these stories.

When I was a teenager I found myself having to entertain the two young daughters of a distant relation of my dad's who was visiting. I guess they were 5 & 8 ish. Didn't have a clue what to do that would interest them and in desperation showed them an old thing of my dad's and said don't tell my dad I let you touch this. One I'd immediately gasped and said "I can see the devil looking through the keyhole because you told me to lie". Arghhhh!

Note to self, don't read thread like this at nearly midnight. Gone all shivery!

DD used to have night terrors. I remember one where she spent the whole night screaming about the man in the corner. She kept saying that the man was looking at her and she didn't like it.

There was another night she was screaming about spiders saying they were crawling all over her and me. She was brushing them of herself and from me. Terrifying.

On night when DS was a toddler he was in another room and I could hear him talking. So I went in and asked what he was saying. "Me talking to Grandad. Grandad croaky "
DF had had cancer of the throat and had had vocal chords removed. He'd also died several years before DS was born.

I love reading these. One day I hope to recognise my DS. He was only 18 when he died. Coming up to his third anniversary. So if he died and went straight to another body/baby/family he would be coming up to three.

I hope that he gets another chance of life.

I'll never stop looking for signs from him - even if that makes me sound looney.

Oh Minmooch how very sad, I hope you do meet him again, I too believe that when we die we do not just die.

We had IVF last year. The day after the embryo transfer, DS (aged 5) said to me 'mummy you have a baby in your tummy'. We had never ever mentioned the IVF in front of him, or even that we were trying for a sibling. But yes, I did have a baby in my tummy, she was born 8 months later

Ps Minmooch, so sorry for your loss

HighwayDragon1 your story freaked me right out! I've been spooked by a lot of these on here actually lol.

in our old house my dd aged 2 at the time kept going in to the bathroom and staring at the space between the sink and wall that was behind the bathroom door, when I asked her what she was looking at she said the man that's standing there.... I was spooked and just guided her out of the bathroom saying lets go read a story, that bathroom freaked me out since then. No incidents like that in out new place...... yet ....... hopefully there won't be though

When two, "Mummy what happened to my other family. We lived in a small dark house in one room but were very happy". My other half was there so have a witness too. I could only say, I don't know, but it was good you were happy!!!! He has always been an old soul, was a very kind child always had empathy beyond his years and is a lovely young man now. He can't remember even saying it now of course.

DD2, now 2.10, keeps telling us about her dreams, which are the usual sort of toddler stuff about monsters and less scary things. But she also tells us a story which she insists is not a dream, but "in real life".
She says:
"A long time ago I was in the fire and it hurt, and I cried a lot, and then I was in the dark for a long time and I cried because I was all alone, but then I was born and I had Mummy and Daddy and DS and DD1 and its all OK now".

I am not superstitious, but this freaks me out a bit...

When Son 3 was 2 or 3 years old, we went on holiday in the county where I grew up and took a detour to see my mum's grave, in the churchyard of the village where I grew up. This was 150 miles from where we lived and Son 3 had never been there before (or his older brothers).

Behind the church is a field, which has 'The White Lady Pond' in it. A standard UK 'white lady' is said to haunt the field, rising out of the water. Kids still re-tell the story. We used to tell it in the 1960s...

I hadn't ever particularly felt the need to talk about this with anyone although I would have told husband the White Lady story. Years before Son 3 was born, no doubt.

Anyway, we said 'hello' to my mum's grave then walked round the back of the church. Stood and looked over the field with the White Lady pond.

Son 3 took one look at the pond and said "Is that where the Lady With The Long Hair lives?"

Shat me up for weeks after. I knew it was not something he'd heard from us. Or anybody 150 miles away!

Son 1 and I took a shortcut through a cemetery, to school every day. In the cemetery he started wandering off a bit on the way home - not out of my sight, just going off to play alongside kinda thing. Turned out he had an imaginary friend. I asked who it was and what they were like.

"Oh, it's a little girl my age in a wheelchair!"

Random, I thought. Another time I asked him where he first saw her. He pointed to a certain area. The children's gravestones.

FFS.

Another one. I had no grandparents that I knew of (one turned up later) so we used to visit my great auntie every week, and she was like a grandma figure, to me.

Every time we visited I was more interested in the little man in her house. Small balding man, with glasses and a pipe. The sort of adult that would pull faces and make me laugh. I would always look forward to seeing him. I can't remember his voice, or him ever talking but maybe didn't think that odd, as my dad was quite silent. He'd sit in the corner reading a paper, at my great aunt's.

One day, when I was about five, I asked where the lovely old man had gone.

"What man?" Parents asked.
I described him. They said "She's describing (dead uncle)!"

Great aunt was a widow and had been for well over a decade before I was born. There wasn't a single photo on display ever, in her house. Oddly, we had no photos of him either, although quite a few of great aunt. I have inherited all the family photos, although my aunt's albums were lost as she died without making a will and her stuff was trashed/auctioned. So to this day I have never seen a single photo of him yet I could recognise him if I passed him in the street!

Ooh I love these threads. Thankfully ds hasn't said anything creepy. Yet.

My three year old says he doesn't want to go on holiday at Easter because the aeroplane will crash...when I questioned him about this it turns out that he saw an aeroplane crash in Paw Patrol!
I am still shxxtting myself about the flight though!

My son ( then 3) said , as we drove over a level crossing , stop the car and we can put twin brother on the track til the train comes. Slightly alarming and no idea where he got that idea from. They love each other really!

My 4yr old DD has been known to sing Twinkle Twinkle in a demonic voice

My little girl watched Paranorman and became obsessed with zombies, the funniest thing she said, very serious, was I see dead people. But the weirdest thing a kid had said to me and not my own, was when my dd was a baby, a friend came to visit with her children and her ds said can we take her (my baby) outside and break here

Break her not here!
