Children are amazing. They are so smart, creative, curious and brave, and we should never underestimate them. When our kids speak to us, they deserve our full attention. Just like adults, what they say is important to them, and they don’t want to be brushed aside. Once they say something extremely creepy, however, I think adults get a free pass to say, “Nope. You’re on your own kid!”

As adorable as children can be, they also have the capacity to be extremely frightening. There’s a reason why so many horror movies are centered around little ones turning demonic, ghost children haunting homes and kids experiencing paranormal activity before their parents do... So to bring attention to the terrifying nature of kids, one curious Reddit user asked parents to share the most unsettling things their children have said before, and they did not disappoint.

From seeing frightening imaginary friends to telling adults when they’re going to die, we’ve gathered the spookiest stories down below for all of you pandas to read, as well as an interview we were lucky enough to receive from clinical psychologist Dr. Amy Marschall, Psy.D. Be sure to upvote the responses that make you hesitant to ever have kids, and if you are a parent, feel free to share any scary things you’ve ever heard your kids say in the comments. Then if you’re looking for another Bored Panda article that will convince you how terrifying children can be, you can read some disturbing imaginary friend stories right here.

Children can be confusing. One moment they can be saying the cutest and sweetest things you've ever heard, then like a flip has been switched, they can begin telling spooky stories that sound like they've been talking to a ghost. So to gain some insight on this topic, we reached out to clinical psychologist Dr. Amy Marschall, Psy.D, to hear why kids often say things that adults consider so creepy. "Kids are still learning to communicate, so they sometimes say things in ways that aren't typical for adults," Dr. Marschall told Bored Panda. "They might phrase something in an unusual way because they aren't sure how to articulate their experience, or they might lack the impulse control or 'filter' to choose not to say certain things or share a thought."

"Kids are also highly imaginative and might have ideas that seem odd or creepy to adults, when it's just an idea in their head," Dr. Marschall explained. "Very young children are still learning the difference between reality and imagination as well, so they might share an 'experience' that was actually a dream or something they saw in a video."

30 Times Kids Nonchalantly Said Incredibly Creepy Things My sons were about 2 and 4 when their pet goldfish died. I attempted to use the situation as an opportunity to discuss death and mortality. After I finished my explanation, my four year looked up at me with his big, blue eyes and asked, "Mommy, someday, will you die?" My heart filled with love and a little sadness, knowing this was one of those pivotal moments when the first bit of childhood innocence was lost,and I told him yes, someday, mommy will die.

"Good," he said with a totally deadpan expression, and walked out of the room.

Later when we were about to flush the fish, he asked if we could eat him instead. I said no, we don't eat pets because we love them, and he said, "When you die, I'm going to eat you."

30 Times Kids Nonchalantly Said Incredibly Creepy Things My daughter was 4 years old. One morning I heard her door open and shut. That usually meant that she would be coming to our room to lay down with us. She never came in, but shortly after I heard her voice. Hoping she would go back to sleep I let her be for a bit. Then I heard the door open and shut again. This time I decided to go into her room and see why she kept getting out of bed.

I walked in and she had her eyes closed.

"Sweetie?"

"Yes, daddy."

"Why did you get out of bed?"

"I didn't, I was trying to sleep but he wouldn't leave me alone. He kept talking to me and asking me questions."

"He? Who is he?"

"The little boy that was in my room."

"Umm, sweetie that was just a dream. There is no boy in your room."

"I know that. He just left."

"Ok, well what was the little boy doing?"

"He was hanging from the fan and asking me a bunch of questions."

"How was he hanging from the fan? With his arms?"

"No, with a rope."


Scariest f*****g moment of my life. I asked her about it about a year later and she said she doesn't remember.

More observe and report. Was it an isolated event? Did it keep happening? Did a boy really do that in her room? No need to jump to psych appointment.

We also asked Dr. Marschall if parents should be concerned if their children begin saying things they find frightening or creepy. "If you're concerned about things your child is talking about, there is no minimum threshold to ask for help," she told Bored Panda. "You can always ask their pediatrician for a referral to a therapist or use a directory to find someone in your area who specializes in child mental health. Especially if the things your child is saying suggest a drastic, sudden change in behavior, it can always be worth offering more support."

30 Times Kids Nonchalantly Said Incredibly Creepy Things When I was three I went missing for a few hours while my dad was hanging Christmas lights outside (we had a bunch of woods and trails behind our house). Fast forward a few hours I come out of the woods and walk down the road to my house telling my parents a man told me to go home. When I described him to my mom she broke down crying because it was an exact description of her father. He died almost 10 years before I was born.

I have a good one: When my oldest brother was 3 or 4, he fell into my cousins' pool. The pool didn't have a ladder and was several inches to reach to get out, no way for a 3 year-old that has ever swam in his life to escape. Well, while all the adults were talking they hear him screaming and splashing, and then silence. When they ran to get him, he was standing right next to the pool and he was soaking wet. When they asked him what happened, he said, "I fell in the pool and couldn't get out, then a shiny man pulled me out."

That one will always give me shivers.

We also asked Dr. Marschall if kids tend to share these creepy things on purpose to try to freak adults out. "It is possible!" she says. "I hate the term 'attention-seeking', but again, when you don't know how to communicate, you might try to get needs met in different ways. A child who feels like they want their parent's full attention or want to connect with them in that moment might say or do something that they know will get their focus. They aren't trying to be manipulative or deceptive, but they don't understand how to say, 'I'd like to connect with you right now'."

30 Times Kids Nonchalantly Said Incredibly Creepy Things While Playing classroom with my three year old brother he made an off handed comment about being in my mothers belly twice. I was amused and said oh really. He proceeded to tell me in amazing detail being inside our mother. He told me about it being warm and that he liked it but he always felt sick. One day he got so sick that "they" came and told him he had to leave. He didnt want to so they promised him he would get to came back again and back to our mom. So he left and they let him come back again and this time he didnt feel sick. I lost my mind and started screaming for my mother. He told her the same story then after she stopped crying we were not allowed to talk about it. I was ten and I was old enough to remember that she had a miscarriage almost 1 year before my brother was born.. Side note im not religious but my brother always kinda makes me wonder.

In the 80's I babysat a kid who was 11 (I was 17). He was pissed because I wouldn't let him go play with his friends due to the fact he was already grounded. He went down to the basement grabbed a bunch circular saw blades and started throwing them at me like Frisbees. He cut me up pretty bad. I lost it however. I duck taped him to a chair. Called his dad. Told him what transpired and said he has 3 minutes to get home before I left. His dad was there in 2. I was shaking like crazy. The child was still screaming he was going to kill me when his dad came in the door. I never babysat for him again and told him the child needs to be in an institution before he hurts someone.

When I asked her what she was doing (her mom was in the bathroom for a minute), she replied with a straight face, "I like to kill things, but mom says I shouldn't. So I picked the ham because it can't scream."

30 Times Kids Nonchalantly Said Incredibly Creepy Things My dad watched his mother die of a ruptured gal bladder when he was twelve and still remembers vividly. My sister, one day, randomly gets up almost an hour after she's gone to bed and goes up to him. The conversation went like this:
Sister: Daddy, your mommy died in a red sweater, jeans, sneakers and with her hair in a ponytail, right? And her hair was blonde?
Dad: *Drops book he's reading and stares, wide-eyed, and then says* Yes...
Sister: What color were her eyes?
Dad: Blue... why?
Sister: Oh, she doesn't have them anymore, just empty sockets. I was curious.
And she goes right back to bed.

Once I was taking a nap on the couch. I was waking up, and just as I'm opening my eyes, I see my 2yo son walking toward me with a serious look on his face. He leans in close and whispers, "It Happened." He then leaves without another word.

My daughter had some imaginary friends for a couple years named Dodo, Ghana & The Evil. They just sort of appeared out of nowhere when she was about 2.5 years old. It started with Dodo and Ghana, then a few months later (she was about 3 at this point) she came up to me and told me with a creepily expressionless face: "The Evil is coming over today" and just walked away.

Turns out, The Evil was actually a pretty nice imaginary friend, she just had an unfortunate name.

This is a hugely popular thread so it'll get buried but here goes. My wife died just about a month after my sons fourth birthday unexpectedly. A couple of weeks later he really had said much about it so as I'm putting him to bed one night I ask him if he misses mommy.

He looks me dead in the eye and says "no". Obviously this startles me, and I'm lost for words. Once I finally find rational thought again I proceed to ask him why he said no? He says "mommy is ok. She's happy". Now I'm freaking out. Why is my son saying this? His mom just died?! I the. Ask him what he means by it?

Heres where it gets really freaky to me. He answers me with this "mommy said she is happy", "she said I shouldn't be sad". My late wife had some "issues" and the autopsy hadn't come back yet. We at this time had no idea what she died from - I just found her one morning face down one morning in my living room. Ok back to the story. So when my son tells me this i start to freak the f**k out. Did she goodbye to him??? Was it suicide??

I then proceed to ask him if mommy told him this. He goes "yes". Ok. Now my heart sinks, I get pissed at her, I feel even more horrible for him, and a million other emoticons at once. I ask him "when did mommy tell you this?". He says "at night". "when i sleep she comes and visits me. We talk and she told me not to be sad. She said she's happy where she's at and she watches me when im awake and she will protect me".

Onions and shock.. Right then. I've had 2 years to process this now and it amazes me that a four year old has such amazingly healthy coping skills.

Tl/dr: mom of a four yr old dies tells dad that mom visits him when he sleeps and tells son not to be sad.

30 Times Kids Nonchalantly Said Incredibly Creepy Things I was the kid, my mom told me this story once I was older.
My great grandfather died, and because I was so young no one told me.
My mom took me to his grave a few weeks after it happened, and let me play amongst the gravestones while she lay flowers.
As we were leaving, I stopped and asked "why is great grandpa sitting in the tree?" I then pointed to what appeared to my mom as an empty tree, and waved.
The tree was planted so the branches hung right above where he was buried.
TL; DR: Pointed out my great grandfather to my mother without knowing he had died.

There's research on the noise level a fetus in utero experiences, and it's around 80-85 dB, with peaks to 95 dB with the mother's heart beat. That's about the same level as a hairdryer, kitchen blender or forklift truck. Newborn babies generally sleep better if there's a level of constant background noise rather than total silence, because that's what they're used to (which is why many parents find babies settle quicker in the car, it's not the movement, it's the constant noise).

30 Times Kids Nonchalantly Said Incredibly Creepy Things I don't have kids but apparently this happened when I was about four.

I shared a room with my older sister and we had huge closets in our bedroom that were about 6 foot tall. My mother would wake up in the middle of the night to hear me crying and she'd come in to investigate what was wrong. She then would find me sitting on top of the 6' closest, cross-legged and rocking back and forth while crying about; "The big scary man put me up here".
Since my mother was tired from it being the middle of the night and being heavily pregnant she didn't really think about HOW I got up on the closet, but would put me back into bed and comfort me until I fell asleep again.
But then my grandmother came to stay with us a few nights and she told my mother that she woke up in the middle of the night because it got suddenly cold and her bedroom door handle was turning. The door opened but no one was there and then the bathroom door opposite her door opened on its own. She stared out the door for a few minutes not moving because she was in shock and frightened, but then heard me start crying.
My mother walked by her room to get to me and of course I was crying about the man putting me up there. My grandmother told my mum what she experienced and my sister slept with my Gran and I slept with mum for the next couple of weeks after that. It stopped once my brother was born, and to this day I have no idea what really happened.

30 Times Kids Nonchalantly Said Incredibly Creepy Things My daughter (she's only 3) had a cat (Lexi) and it died a few months ago. One morning I noticed a small scratch on her hand and I asked her where it came from, she said in the most deadly serious face that I have ever seen a three year old pull; "I saw Lexi last night and he scratched me in the dark and then he flew away." I was so creeped out I couldn't sleep that night in case a killer cat came and cut me up while I was sleeping.

When I was a toddler, my maternal grandparents lived a few blocks away in an older 2-story house with an unfinished basement and a walkable storage attic.

I was scared sh**less of the basement and typically wouldn't go down without an adult. The furnace and the central vac were down there and the noises they made scared me. The attic on the other hand was my playground. All the old toys and abandoned family stuff was up there.

My whole family; parents, grandparents, aunts and uncle, all talk about the multiple times that I would ask to go upstairs to play with grandpa George, or come down saying I had been playing with him.

Thing is, there's no-one in my family that I've known named George...

When my cousin was around 12 or so (she's almost 30), we were sitting around the table eating dinner and she very quietly left the table to rummage through her room followed by her brother's room across the hallway. After about 15 minutes she comes back empty handed, cleans her area and proceeds to sit in front of the tv. Her mother and brother asked what she was looking for, she replied, "A man just asked for a blanket because he's cold. I couldn't find a extra one to give to him". We entertained it and asked what he looked like, she gave a random description of a older man with a scruffy beard, brown shirt and dirty jeans.
At that age we just chalked it up as imagination and left her alone. About a hour later the doorbell rings and my aunt answers it. She returns a few seconds later clearly shaken up and says, "There's a homeless man asking for a spare blanket. He's the man she was talking about". We all go to the door with my aunt to give him the blanket to see the scruffy homeless man in a dirty brown shirt and jeans. He politely takes the blanket, thanks her and leaves. My cousin states that was the man she was trying to help earlier.

S**t freaked me out for years.

TL;DR : Cousin tries to help a cold ghost but fails only to have it appear as a person to get a blanket.

My co-worker's four year old daughter always thought that the rattling of the water pipes in the kitchen cupboards were "white wolves" and the sound always scared her.

One day she was sitting at the kitchen table and she said, "Mom. The white wolves aren't bad... they're our friends!"

Her mom encouraged the idea by saying, "Yes! The white wolves are protecting us. They are our friends."

Then her daughter added in, "They're our friends, but not the man who crawls on the floor and stands by my bed".

I had a music teacher, who took his 4 year-old daughter to an old theatre in Alaska. She started crying immediately when she walked in, so he took her outside- and she stopped crying. He took her back in, she started crying again, so he took her outside again. He asked why she was crying, and she said: **"That's where the people with no eyes watch you."**

When my nephew was 3 or 4, he would stare at the window in my parents' kitchen. One day, my mom asked him what he was looking at, and he said, "When I lived here before, my name was Alphonse, and I was bigger than you." My mom was slightly creeped out and eventually told my stepdad. My stepdad just kind of blinked and said, "Hmm. That was my grandfather's name, but we don't talk about him."

I never liked that house anyway...

My daughter was very little and we were having a conversation. I don't remember what led to it, but my daughter mentioned grandpa Joe. I asked her who grandpa Joe was, thinking it was someone's grandpa from her daycare. She said "I met him when I was in your tummy." I asked her what he said and she replied "He didn't say anything, he gave me a tummy sandwich." Her dad and I gave her tummy sandwiches.when she was a baby...think something similar to what they call "rasberries." My mom's dad, Joe, died when she was 17 and she didn't really talk about him. I called her and asked if she ever talked about her dad to my daughter and she said "No. Why?". My daughter doesn't remember this at all.

When I was 4, my mom and I were driving my aunt home 2 hours south of where we lived. We were in a hilly area and it was around 8 or 9 at night during the winter (which means here in Ohio, it's pretty much pitch black outside). I looked out the window, pointed up to a hill and said "Mommy! Mommy! I used to live up there a long, long time ago."

We stayed at my aunt's house that night and on the way back the next morning, I said the same thing around the same hill. My mom decided to look up there and see where I said I used to live.

On the top of the hill, there's a little cemetary.

I never believed her until 2 years ago on my way home from my aunt's house, I looked up on that hill and I saw it. I nearly sh*t my pants.

Not *my* kid, but a kid my friend and I met at a party about 8 years ago. It's more of a story than just one thing she said.

So, my friend and I were in 8th grade, and we were with her mother for some kind of party, and there was this little girl who couldn't have been any older than 5. She was the only other kid there, so my friend's mom made us go play with her.

This was the creepiest girl I've ever met. She asked us if we wanted to play a game, and we said sure. The game was called "kill you" and it worked by her jumping on us and trying to strangle us. We told her we didn't want to play that game anymore so she came up with a new game.

"You be the mommy, and you be the daddy. Then I'll kill the mommy, and I'll kill the daddy."

She played that game the same way as "kill you", by jumping on us and trying to strangle us. After we got her off us, she walked away into the kitchen and started looking for stuff. We asked her what she was looking for, and she replied with "a knife to kill you with". Her mom saw her in the kitchen and asked if she needed something, she said she was thirsty or hungry or something.

Anyway, this kid was creepy. I think the only reason we didn't run away screaming was because she was less than 1/3 our size and it was just too odd to really think it was real.

We still talk about that creepy kid sometimes.

Backwards, as I remember saying this to my dad when I was little.

When I was probably around 6 or 7, I had no idea what sex was or how making babies worked. I just thought that if you loved someone, you'd eventually end up being pregnant and having a baby. So one day, I randomly said to my dad "one day I might end up having a baby with you". Which probably creeped him out no end.

And he said "my friend" the story got back to our landlord who lived near us...turns out Kyle was a 35 yo man who hung himself in the townhouse next to us about 5 years ago.

"My brain is telling me to do things I don't want to do."

He's 4.

Edit : A little context. Like many kids, he has an imaginary friend, he has just correctly identified the imaginary friend as "my brain." So when he says "my brain is telling me to do things I don't want to do," he means "my imaginary friend wants to play a game that I don't want to." Now if only the game wasn't "burn them! burn them all!"

Maybe other issues as well, on top of that. He is very smart, and a wonderful person, just has his own way of communicating. I hope all goes well with your lil one.

I used to have night terrors when I was around 2. Vivid nightmares that involved walking and talking in my sleep. Consequently, I often spent the night in my parents bed. One time my mom woke up and saw that I was missing. She found me standing in the living room. She tried to pick me up but I backed away and screamed, "Wash the blood off your hands!"

Said it creeped her the f**k out.

30 Times Kids Nonchalantly Said Incredibly Creepy Things I don't have kids.
But my mom used to tell my how I would talk to shadows. I called them "Mirror People." I would speak to my shadow and even myself in the mirror. My mom told me that she once asked me to brush my teeth, I told "I can't. The mirror people don't like it when I go into the bathroom. They say they want my face. They can't have my face." And I laughed.
I guess I grew out of it when I got a bit older but I still find it eerie.

30 Times Kids Nonchalantly Said Incredibly Creepy Things I'm the child in this story, but let me tell you about when I was four.

I'm named after my maternal grandmother who died about two years before I was born, and it's worth mentioning that I was the first grandchild born after her death. I was always very curious about her as a young child... one day my mom laid down for a nap and when she woke up, i was standing at her bedside and looking down on her. Apparently I said "Do you remember when *I* was the mommy, and *you* were the baby?"

My own kids told me things like this when they were about 4 years old. There are lots of stories about kids around this age that say similar things, and I'm inclined to believe it is a phase they go through. Some kind of realisation that they "digest" in this very particular way.

When my father was a kid in the 60's, he would go into the living room in the middle of the night, turn the TV on to static, climb on his rocking horse and slowly rock back and forth in the dark room only lit by the TV static and slowly say "I hate mommy. I hate mommy. I hate mommy." over and over again. My grandmother says it was the creepiest thing she's ever seen. Well, that and the UFO.

" I'm going to cut your throat and throw you in the pool" " I will stab you if you fall asleep" " I will push you down the stairs so you land on your head" etc etc. It was really scary.

My mom told me this story about a year ago. She took me hiking a lot as a kid, and we usually went to interesting historical areas. We were at a place called "writing on stone" and we were walking along a stone wall with carvings on it, and we were next to flat prairie. Apparently I told my mom over and over about this Native man that was standing in the field. She asked me where he was, and when I went to show her, I was pointing at nothing. She said it scared the c**p out of her!

This one is about me. When I was little. I told my dad there were people on the roof. He didn't think anything of it...until he heard, "the sound of 100 feet running across the roof. He went out side to shine a flashlight(the old roof was flat, you could see the top if you were far enough back) and he saw nothing. He asked me if I saw anything, I said, "The grey man daddy. He was at all the windows." It still freaks me out to think about it even though I don't even remember it.

When I was pregnant with my first, a five year old came up to me and said, "All babies are born alone." He mom and I share freaked out glances and then she awkwardly tried to fix the situation by talking about twins.

My oldest (6, 5 at the time) once got mad at my youngest (3, 2 at the time) for sitting in the doorway to their room. Instead of asking him to move or calling for me, my eldest grabbed the little one by his head and shook him as hard as he could. I freaked out, scooped up the toddler and yelled: "What's the matter with you?! You can't shake babies! Do you know that could kill him?" Without flinching, my oldest looked me in the eyes and said, "Yes, that's what I was trying to do." I lost my mind and called up his therapist, wondering if I needed to or could commit him. It was really scary. To clarify, he had a tendency to react physically, but before that I never thought he was actually trying to hurt anyone.

Not my kid, but my little sister. When we were younger (elementary school aged) we shared a room. She would often say things in her sleep, but it was usually incomprehensible and nothing interesting.

One night I wake up because I hear a strange noise. I turn over in my bed and in the dimly lit room I see that she is sitting stick straight on her bed and staring at me. I was already a little bit creeped out but I thought something was wrong, so I got out of bed and walked up to her. The second I sat down on her bed, she cocked her head a bit and while staring at me very intensely started singing the creepiest song I've ever heard in a possessed little girl voice.

Needless to say, I spent the rest of the night sleeping in the living room.

I'm not a parent, but my mom told me that when I was really young, I used to sit by the rocking chair and mumble things. She eventually became curious and asked what I was saying. I told her I was talking to "the old lady".

Also, about 10 years later, I stayed at my aunt's house. In the morning, I heard my 3 year old cousin stirring, so I decided to be a thoughtful niece and went to get her out of bed so my aunt could sleep in longer. When I walked into her room, she stood up in her crib and said "Your friend came and woke me up last night." I was staying in a room by myself the night before.

when i was 9 and my sister was 3, i pissed her off somehow, anyway she chomped down on my leg. i screamed obviously, and she was usually a good kid so i told her to let go, usually she would do it, but she held on. the area legit turned purple, and i still have a scar today.

When I was a nanny, this 6 year old boy had this "christmas elf" doll that sat on his shelf and looked terrifying.

The kid would tell me everyday how it came to life at night and danced around his room and told him secrets.

One time i made the mistake of asking what kind of secrets and the kid freaked out and shouted at me, "I CAN'T TELL YOU! HE TOLD ME NOT TO TELL ANYONE!" then he stood on his bed and shouted at the doll, "MOVE! MOVE!!!!!!! I'VE SEEN HIM MOVE! MOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I've got a few stories from my own childhood actually.

I remember one time my mom told me when I was about 2~3 I told her that I was once a firefighter and died fighting a house fire.

There was another time when I was 2 years old, at my grandmother's house, when I inexplicably walked up to the glass coffee table and smashed my head straight through it. I didn't cry or say anything, just did it. I still don't know why or even remember doing it.

My toddler went through a phase where she would just constantly say 'hi' to things. "Hi hi hi hi hi hi"

One day, it came out sounding more like "Die die die die die"

So I say to her "What's that you're saying?"

And she turns to face me and just whispers "Diiiieeeeeee......."

On one of his first trips to the beach my 2 year old nephew said "I'm gonna run so deep in the ocean I will never come back" of course we we're like "wait, what?". And he replied "yup, if you go deep in the ocean you never come back, I'm gonna do that"

My 5 year old daughter, just 3 weeks ago, said she wants to die. That was a tough one.

Kids are terrifying. My parents and I used to live with my grandmother when I was around 2-3, and I always used to say I saw a man in a green coat walking around the house. I think I said I talked to him, but I can't remember at all. My nana still brings it up pretty frequently.

Not that anyone will ever see this, but supposedly when I was a child, I would stand up in my crib, point out the window, and say, "They're coming! They're coming!"
I would also refer to my child-speak/gibberish as 'their language.'

You now know that here is definitely someone(s) you need to keep your daughter away from. (And, anyway, Jesus hated religious condescension.)

I was driving my daughter, aged 2, to nursery one morning and as usual she was chatting away to herself in the back seat. She said "(little boy in her nursery) X hit me. Im going to hit him. I'm going to hit him in the face. The doctor will have to fix X's face". I just went silent at the little psycho :S

That’s not a silent moment…. That’s a teaching moment. Your kid wasn’t a psycho, she was just learning to socialize at that age and by saying nothing, you let her think that was okay. I hope her teachers helped her figure out that’s not okay. :/ My kid and I have these talks on the way to preschool all the time. He’s thinking about who he’s going to see, interactions they’ve had and processing them just like we all do. Little ones aren’t just babbling, they’re processing life. They have ‘adult’ emotional capacity, but they’re just learning how to handle it all. Talk to your kids and help them!!

Not my son, but my little brother. He was probably five at the time. I saw him crawling around on all fours and I said, "Luke what are you doing?"
He looked me in the eye and with a completely straight face he whispered "Sometimes I do creepy things."
Then he crawled away. I didn't feel very safe in my house for the next few weeks.
