To ask for your creepy child stories

[Bigmango]

Feeling inspired by the haunted badge thread. Does anyone have any other creepy child stories? Messages from dead relatives etc? My daughter is only two so nothing as yet but I’m fairly sure my dog sees ghosts or is just more mental than we even thought.

@lailaha where is the link for this thread (reincarnation)

When my sister was about 19 months old our parents were renting an old farmhouse. They had put my sister to bed a while before and she had been sound asleep. They were having supper downstairs some time later when they heard what sounded like 'adult' footsteps moving about upstairs. My mother went upstairs to find my sister fast asleep in her cot. When she woke the next day she said to my mum keep that white lady away from me!

We were on holiday in Spain one year when my ds was 3. One day we were on the hotel room and he jumped off the bed and closed the door that let into the corridor, I asked him what was wrong, he said “the grey lady ghost in there”. A few days later we woke up in the morning, and I said I would go and open the curtain and he said “no mummy the grey lady ghost is there”. My DH and it woke up one night to the tv going on by itself and at the same time the ceiling fan which we had left on during the night going off.
That same holiday, my DH had a dream he was in a motorbike accident....the day after we arrived back from our holiday, DH was involved in a motorbike accident...yikes.

Surprisingly, I wasn’t scared in the room, and usually I would be completely freaked out and want to leave but I felt very safe and relaxed in that room.

Just posted this on the badge thread too.

I was bought up by my grandparents. Lived in a house that was previously owned by a priest who lived there with his maid. I still do this day, 18 years later remember waking up to a girl with long blonde hair sat on my bed. I wasn't scared and something about her calmed me.

After that, I'd see her everywhere. In the hallway on my way to toilet, stood behind my Nan in the kitchen, in the garden watching our rescue dogs

I often mentioned her, aged 4-8 I saw her almost every day.

It sudden stopped and I never really questioned it being young.

When I got to about 14 it was obvious that the house was haunted, my grandad, a very sensible and sane man would see the rocking chair start rocking whilst on his own watching tv at night and the dogs in their beds in the hall way amongst other spooky stuff.

When I was 19, my Nan finally told me that the maid who had lived there with the priest had long blonde hair and had hung herself in what was our bathroom.

DH never believed until he moved in when I was 20 and kept waking up to a lady stood next to him in an old fashioned nightie.

Many years ago, after a long illness, my Aunty passed away at home. My uncle and cousins were with her when she passed. After they'd said their goodbyes they went down into the kitchen.

In their grief, they didnt reaiise my cousin's little girl, who was about 4 at the time, had gone into the room where my Aunty was....until she came running down the stairs to announce - and these are her exact words - that she'd just "seen nanny squiggle out of her body, smile at her and she's floating over the bed" 😱....still sends a tingle down my spine all these years later. She was quite a serious child not one for attention seeking or telling stories and the word 'squiggle' to me sums up exactly how a soul might depart the body for the afterlife 😮😮

I looked after my friend’s daughter who was about 3, in my flat which was in an old converted hospital. I heard her chatting away in my bedroom, assumed it was normal toddler babble, but when I asked her who she was talking too, she told me “the old grey lady who lives in your walls”
I’ve moved out now obviously haha

When DD was 3 we went on holiday to the IOW (first visit for all of us)
Everywhere we went DD knew what we were going to find round the next corner - which way to go direction wise
We visited osbourne house and she described things we were going to see before we got there
I could swear she had been there before
Now as an adult she doesn’t even remember that holiday!

DD often talks about "the scary grandad" in her room.
The same room that a few years ago DS1 told me "grandad pat" would visit him in.

This would be my grandad who died when I was a child. Who I have never mentioned to my children, and I can see why he would be scary to my DD as he looked a bit like Alice cooper without hair.

DS was 2.5 when he started saying he had looked after me before "when you were old" and that he had been a man in the olden days with an old car. One day he was talking about how you have to wait to be born and said "I came to you before, when you were 16, but I was too small and I had to go back again". I'd had a termination at 16 😱

@lightnesspixie it's here www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/3796821-Reincarnation

I don't have many, although when dd was about 2.5, we were house hunting and went to look round a house one day. Dd really did not like the lounge, and wanted to get out of there ASAP, which was really unlike her. She mentioned not liking "the ghost" and for a few days after kept talking about not liking "the ghost" and "the tree". It was probably just some shadow or something but I did wonder if she could sense something we couldn't see.

Reading a book the other day, ds (4), told me he'd read that book when he was a baby with his old mummy (or something of he like). When pressed he just said he'd read it himself at a baby so I think he was just talking nonesense tho lol

My uncle was minding my sister for the day when she was about three. They where colouring in at the dinning room table when she went into a trance and stared at him. She started talking about the time before when he was a young solider who lay dying on a hospital ward and that he had called out again and again for someone to come but no one did.

Once she'd finished talking she snapped out of it and went back to colouring. He said the creepiest part was that when she was talking she spoke in a different accent and sounded like an old lady.

There was lots of weird things that happened when she was younger.

Bloody hell some of these are absolutely terrifying!

@RHTawneyonabus I think you get the most creepy prize though. It’s like Stranger Things!

More please

HRH2020 wow... that last bit really got to me comforting in a strange way though.

When I was about 3, I pointed to a church and told my mum that's where I got married when I was a lady, then passing a car park, told her thats where the train station I died at was. She didn't pay it much attention until she found out a while later the car park was a train station a hundred odd years ago.

When my DD was around two, she pointed at an old picture of my grandad and started singing his nickname, which was very strange considering nobody ever used his first name, never mind nickname.

Some of these are so creepy.

Have a look at this book "The children that time forgot" by Mary Harrison.it's reincarnation of children describing their old lives.free on kindle unlimited .Really interesting book.

Aren't these fascinating? I firmly believe.

I'm a TA and was working with a phonics group ages 5-6. One of the children at the end of the lesson said to me "that lady next to you is lovely" I didn't think anything of it but as the days went on she kept mentioning it to me. She started going into more detail and perfectly described my mum who passed away when I was 18. She would say things like:
"your mum says hello"
"she has lovely black curly hair"
"she has a purple top on today"

I never mentioned my mother and none of the children knew about her.

I can't describe it but it was a lovely feeling to hear... I told my work colleagues who took the piss but I genuinely believe she could see something.

Another time a few months later a new boy joined the class and was being very rude and making silly noises. She told me a man at the back of the room didn't like him. The next phonic lesson the boy started being a pain again and this huge bible fell from the book shelf. To this day I don't know how it fell down the way it did. The girl told me the man didn't like cheeky children and threw the book at him. It freaked me out for some time and often think about it.

Ds used tell us about the place he was before he was in my tummy. He gradually would only tell me about it and then stopped mentioning it at all. I do think children have a link to some other form of consciousness for a time.

Very similar to @Seeleyboo

My very disabled brother was born at 28/40 - he was twin 1.
Twin 2 died a few hours after being born.

My brother can talk but his level of understanding is that of a 2/3 year old.
Anyway, often he would chat away to himself in his room and once me and mum clearly heard him describing us and chatting almost 'normally' (he was around 7/8)
Mum asked who was he talking to and without hesitation said his twins name. Then he lowered his voice, put his head down and said 'no, he's not here yet'.

Mum never spoke of twin 2 - she has never come to terms with the loss or grief.How my brother knew his name baffles us.

There's a few other examples like that but that one really stands out.
Still sends shivers down my spine.
