AIBU to ask for your spooky children stories

[Livpool]

So, my 3 year old DS told his GPs who he was with today that his Mummy and Daddy died in a car crash but he "made magic" and brought us back. So here we are.

Not sure whether to be impressed or scared. Has anyone else had anything similar

When my daughter was about 2.5/3yo we were in a pub toilet. She was toilet training and it was some weird phase where I wasn’t allowed to say a word when she was on the loo.

So I’m standing there waiting for her to finish, looking at this window in the loo which had a grate over it. And for some reason I was thinking that if there was a fire in the pub, you’d never get out of the loos. (Odd thought I know)

Now I know I didn’t say anything because of the massive tantrum that would have been had, if I’d uttered a word!

DD looked up at me and said ‘it’s ok mummy, there won’t be a fire’.

...and then...it ripped its way out of her fajayjay and she had to get stitches! There's a horror story for ya xD

Seriously though there are some creepy kids where I am. There don't seem to be any boys, just young girls...which is odd. Dunno if it is something in the water or if all the boys are inside playing computer or what. Anyway, these girls...u can pass them outside, go into the close, up the stairs, put the key in the lock and turn your head to the right...and they'll be standing there, just looking at you, like something out of The Shining. Makes me shudder.

Also, they are so nosey! Like in my day no way would I have talked to some stranger adult as if she was my equal! Asking me where my husband is and why I don't have kids yet xD its like the 1950's meets children of the corn.

Think I'll stick to pets.

That documantary isn't scary, I've seen it twice, it's lovely. A bit sad and very strange (and I'm sure, easy to fake if that was the documentary maker's intention , but I don't mind taking it at face value.)

I do find it weird/odd/fascinating that when children talk about apparent past lives that they seem to remember, they always seem to have died as children in those past lives. You never get a child who talks about how they used to be alive and were old and died and had a whole life and grandchildren and stuff.

I don't think I really believe in reincarnation/a spirit realm but just humouring the theory for a moment - it makes me wonder if children are perhaps a bit more connected to that side of things and that if someone had died as a child that they would retain more than if they'd died as an adult and had fully "integrated" into this world if that makes sense.

Yes DS2 stares at blank ceilings and walls and laughs/smiles - but I do think that actually that is just babies finding mundane things interesting., because it's new to them. To us it just looks like a blank space with nothing in it but perhaps that in itself is what is interesting to them? So hard to know what babies might think about the world. I find it comforting to think that it might be an ancestor or loved one checking up on them and making them smile though :) But in all likelihood it probably isn't anything spooky, it's simply that as adults we don't see the thing which is interesting to a baby - and blank space might well be that thing. I remember feeling overawed and having my breath taken away when I first visited Wembley Stadium just the first time walking into that space and seeing how big it was, because it's very rare to go straight from a building in a fairly built up area just to this expanse of space. I think a baby could probably get that sense of amazement from looking at a blank ceiling or plain wall, since that in itself is a contrast to something like a bookshelf or patterned wallpaper, carpet, curtains, furniture etc.

@BertieBotts my daughter said she was an adult, as she was the pilot of a plane.
