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

[BackInBlack78]

Just this!

insancerre that is HILARIOUS

DD has always been "spirited and challenging" and we used to joke about checking her head for 666. One day we were driving past a church when she was about 5. Suddenly she started screaming " aaarg, my eyes, my eyes, I can't look at that place" and rubbing them frantically. Turned out it was really strong sun glare reflecting into her eyes from the glass of the church windows but I nearly crashed the car - Damien!!

DD1 has always had a gift for scaring me half to death. When she was 3ish she told me about the 'flitters' in her room at night. They were like little lights she said, and they played with her and whizzed around the room. She regularly talked about the flitters. Then she wouldn't sleep with the door closed any more because the flitters were no longer friendly, they were mean. We lived in a 220 year old cottage at the time.

One night I asked her why she had all the teddies in a line at the side of her bed, pushed into the gap between the bed and the wall. This was to 'stop the bony hand that comes out and tries to touch me'. I made sure there were plenty of teddies and no gaps!

She is now 10 and only the other week I asked her why she didn't sleep under her blanket but had it scrunched up at the side of her bed. She said it was to stop Neddard. When I asked who Neddard was she replied 'he wants to peel off my skin and wear it as his own'

I sometimes wonder how anyone sleeps in this house!

Minmooch for you x

My 2 year old declared "I know about killing" when we were in the car one day. Completely unsolicited and out of the blue.

DD1 when she was little and we were visiting a friend's house referred to it as Mary's house. We had never called it this but it was the name of the friends' late mother who DD1 had never met.
DD2 is more spine tingling. We went to the cemetery a month after we had placed her Great Nanna's ashes and as we were leaving she lagged back and we saw her eyes fixed on a hedge and a bench and she was waving at thin air. We asked what she was doing and she said 'waving at Nanna. She has her purple slippers on and is sitting on the bench and she has come to wish me a happy birthday (it had been that week). All said very matter of fact but it was her eyes that were fixed directly which made me believe. Goosebumps but very very comforting.

Ooh ladyjadey my husband used to play with lights in his sleep that sound very much like the flitters! He's still very sensitive to 'things'!

On holiday, when my now 18 yr old DD was 2, she kept chattering away in the hotel room looking towards the door. When asked who she was talking to she said 'the man in the green jumper and brown hat', this went on for the entire 10 days, and she described him the same every time! She never mentioned him again after we left!! Yikes!

I've posted this before on a similar thread. When DS1 was coming up to 3 we moved into a house which was about 200 years old with an outbuilding which was even older. The weekend we moved in DS1 was pottering round exploring the old barn with DH.

DH was really spooked as DS1 kept looking up at a big beam and saying "a girl was hanged in here". He wasn't even 3 years old and we have no idea where he would have got that phrase from.

Same house, DS2 insisted that there was a hidden window in his room. When we peeled back layers of wallpaper to redecorate it became clear that there was an extension beyond his room and there had been a window in his room originally.

We had a load of work done on the house. Once, our carpenter was working downstairs on his own. He jumped out of his skin when we pulled up outside in the car and came into the house as he had been hearing what he thought was us walking around upstairs. The noises stopped when we all came back in.

When my son was about 5, he said,

"Dying is like coming twelfth on mario kart. That's what I say when I'm killing people."

:/

Wow, these have given me goodbumps! Xx

DS was about nine, he'd had 14 operations on his leg, in one operation he flat lined in the operating theatre, after that he saw "things" the worst was my sister was walking past him, he burst out crying, he saw a man covered in blood following her across the room..... he's 23 stills see's "things"

My son, when he was about 3, said he wondered if "the family he had before still missed him". I gave birth to him! I asked him questions about what he meant and he insisted he used to have another family a long time ago. He became a bit vague when I pressed him for specifics which freaked me out even more. Really, really weird...

"I see you in a coffin, you're cold..."

LUCKILY DD was stuffed up with the same head cold and repeated herself, she meant "I see you coughing" and "you have a cold".

When she talks about the "sisters" who follow me round (I lost several before I had her) that is quite scary. "They older but they so small".

My Nan died when my ds was 2.5. On the morning she died, ds woke up and told me that the lady in bed with him was cold now. My Nan had already passed away earlier that morning but I didn't know as my mom hadn't yet phoned to tell me.

When dd was about 2/3 she was playing a game. Came up to me and said that Boy wanted to know if I was ok.

Boy was my pretend friend when I was 2/3. He never went into the extension parts of the house, never left the house and didn't come with us when he moved. According to my dm. We thought we never mentioned Boy in front of her.

It freaked me out. I answered that yes I was fine. Then I think I took her out for a bit and waited for my xp to come home.

It happened a couple of times then she stopped.

She also started randomly chatting to someone at my parents house. I asked her who she was talking to and she said Grandad. She doesn't call my dad, grandad. So i thought I misheard said no he's at work. She replied with no it's Grandad. You know Grandad. (My Grandad died when I was a lot younger)

Strange child my oldest is.

ludothedog are you my mother?!? Gave me shivers - I use to cry over the man in the corner looking at me. In fact I use to cry about the man with the small head!
And I also use to have night terrors where I was covered in spiders and bugs and I just couldn't wipe them off!

DS - "I love you so much when you die I want to dig your grave and put you in it"

Cue me backing away slowly and running...

When my eldest was 3 he was chatting to knowone in his room - he came out and told me his granny was talking to him - he described her hair , face , clothes and said she had no shoes - my mum had died 4 years before he was born - she described her exactly as she was in her coffin right down to her bare feet ! It was actually lovely x

Sorry HE described her exactly as she was -x

Ds was very young, 3, and asked what happens when you die. I was so startled I told him what I believe (but laid it on really thick)
that an angel guides you to heaven and then Jesus takes your hand and takes you into the light. It sounded pretty good to even me. Then ds said, 'oh, I can't wait to die'

I cried!

'There's a man down stairs'

Said at 7am yesterday morning....crapped myself

my DB was in hospital several times in the 70s/80s due to severe asthma and apparently almost died twice. I recall being with him when he was about 4 or 5 I think on one of these occasions and it was terrifying, we were in the A&E resusication room But my brother and I used to share a bedroom and used to joke about "spheres/balls of light" - to be fair I always played along with it and don't think I ever saw them. He always heard stuff though, he's sort of elaborated but as we thought it was the asthmatic medication causing him to hallucinate (the meds were a lot stronger then) then thought that was that.

However, also as a child but don't think we ever smelled it, my mum and stepdad would strongly smell flowers - I think like roses, in certain parts of the house (old Victorian house), my mum didn't wear perfume then (or rarely and it wasn't this) and we rarely had flowers in the house either. Later my stepdad found delicate coloured drawings of flowers in the attic from Victorian/Edwardian times and we found out 2 sisters had lived in the house at one point so must've been theirs. The smell isn't there now (parents still live in the house) and disappeared as my brother got older, maybe it was like a Guardian angel from one of them over my brother?

Another story, my grandad (mum's DF) was from Luxembourg and was brought up in castles in Germany as his DF worked for a member of the aristocracy. Anyway grandad one day said he'd seen an old man dressed in old clothes, hat etc and mentioned it to his father etc. the people in the castle looked at each other and said "he's (Count someone I think it was) walking again". Eg ghost was walking.... But his description of the man was apparently spot on, I suppose he could have seen paintings or photographs though.

My 4yo told me the day before my grandma died that Great Grandma was in her dream and told her not to worry because she knew lots of people in heaven that she would be happy to see.
At least once a week she points out a dog on the way to nursery, there is never a dog there! (or anyone or anything for that matter!) she's 4 now and has insisted for the past year that it is there!

I asked DD age 3 if she'd had any dreams the night before her response 'no mummy but them ghosts kept waking me up knocking on my window so I let them in, there were hundreds and hundreds of them, they couldn't all fit in my room so I sent some to your room too'
Ummm thanks for that DD!
