A Special Friend
I was with my sister, her husband, and their two year old daughter. We were talking about loved ones that had recently passed (my father had died sometime recently). My brother in law went and grabbed a picture of his mother, who had died in a car crash when he was six, to show me.
When my niece saw the picture though she started laughing. We asked her what was so funny and she looked at us and said "that's my special friend who sings to me".
I still shiver a bit just thinking about it.

Behind You!
"Go back to sleep, there isn't anything under your bed".
"He is behind you now".
Still haven't gotten over that one and shiver at the memory.

Long Lost Brother
Walking past an old cemetery, my (then) 3-year-old son casually said, "My brother is in there." When I reminded him that he didn't have a brother, he said, "No, Mama... from before. When the other lady was my mommy."
Why Do Kids Say Creepy Things?
Kids have so many things to learn before they’re ready for the adult world, and that includes learning the difference between what’s real and what’s not. While it may seem like that creepy kid next door is communicating with spirits preaching doomsday, in reality, the kid might’ve seen, heard, or dreamt about it and may not yet grasp the distinction between reality and fantasy. Kids start to distinguish it only between the ages of three to five, and that’s more than enough time to accumulate quite a few creepy things to say.
Another thing kids have to do when growing up is to build their emotional intelligence. Little kids, as a given, don’t understand complex relationships or emotions and have to learn them through play and stories. All those scary children’s books aren’t just for creeping them out; they also serve as lessons about emotions and feelings. And while adults view them as scary, for kids, it serves as something to build their emotional baggage—the good kind—with.

This Time It's Good Bye
I was tucking in my two year old. He said "Good bye dad". I said, "No, we say good night". He said "I know. But this time its good bye"
Had to check on him a few times to make sure he was still here.

The Big Guys
My sister got hit by a drunk driver in April and it totalled her car. She had my 4 year old nephew and my infant niece with her. When my mom arrived at the hospital my nephew asked her if he would thank the big guys. What big guys Kaiden? Grammy, the big guys that were in the car with me when it got loud and scary and they hugged me with their arms and kept me safe. Even the insurance adjuster cannot explain how either child escaped with not a scratch.
#6
Little Brother Sick
When my cousin was 2 years old or so, her mom got pregnant again. One day she went to hug her mom's belly and said "little brother sick".
A few days later she had a miscarriage...
Why Do Kids Like Scary Things?
What do you feel when watching a good horror movie? Besides fear, you might be experiencing a good adrenaline rush, and that’s what kids get out of it, too. However, a scary story or a movie might also be a great medium for kids to explore their feelings of fear in a safe and manageable way. Lastly, kids might be drawn to these scary things purely because of curiosity and a wish to learn what’s all the fuss about.
Do you remember watching scary movies or reading horrific stories when you were a kid? Or maybe you were one of those creepy kids who always had disturbing things to say? Share your stories with us in the comments!

I Used To Do That
When my son was small, I was talking to him about growing potatoes. I described how you bank up the earth around them as they grow, and he said "I used to do that when I was an old man".

Both my kids have spoken of past lives... My daughter aged 3 told me in graphic detail how to conduct a post mortem... " I know what I'm talking about... I did it for 20 years"

They Tried
Getting my two and a half year old daughter out of the bath one night, my wife and I were briefing her on how important it was she kept her privates clean. She casually replied "Oh, nobody 'scroofs' me there. They tried one night. They kicked the door in and tried but I fought back. I died and now I'm here." She said this like it was nothing.

I don't buy it, a 2,5 year old doesn't have that kind of vocabulary 🤔
#9
Bad Man
Why are you crying?
"Bad man"
What bad man?
"There." Points behind me at a dark corner of the room.
Lamp on bookshelf next to said darkened corner falls off as soon as I turn to look.
She slept in our bed that night.

It's A Monster
My 3 year old daughter stood next to her new born brother and looked at him for awhile then turned and looked at me and said, "Daddy its a monster... we should bury it."
PandasAreMyFav 7 years ago
I read a joke(from a joke book, its dark humorish) if I remember correctly a baby is born and the mother says “Its a treasure” and the dad says “Then lets go bury it.” That dark humorish joke just comes to mind. 0.o
#11
A Bad Accident
My mother was babysitting my daughter while I was at a doctor’s appointment and said: “Oh no, Grandma. Mama’s not coming any more today. She was in a bad, bad accident. She can’t come get us.” I had indeed been in an accident that almost killed me at that exact time. None of my family had yet been notified.
#12
95th Birthday
My sister, Hailey, was born exactly two months after our great-grandmother died. One day Hailey woke up and informed us it was her 95th birthday. When we tried to reason with her she started crying, saying that her real name was Irene (my granny’s name), not Hailey. This lasted all day, and the next day she didn’t remember anything.
#13
Spooky Whispers
I was sound asleep, and at around 6am I was woken up by my 4 year old daughters face inches from mine. She looked right into my eyes and whispered, "I want to peel all your skin off".
The backstory here is I had been sunburned the previous week, and was starting to peel. In my sleep addled state however, it was pretty terrifying for a few seconds. I didn't know if I was dreaming, or what was going on.
#14
A Baby In Your Belly
My 4 year old son and I were waiting for our food at Panera. While we stood there, he started rubbing my belly and talking to it. I asked him what he was doing; he said that he was talking to the baby. I informed him that I was not pregnant. And he said "there IS a baby in your belly...I just saw it crawl across the floor and climb up into you".
WTF.
#15
The Matrix
“Just today, my 4-year-old son told me, ‘I think we live in a pretend world and someone is playing with us.’ I asked him what he meant, and it got even weirder: ‘Well, it seems like someone does things to us, but we can’t see them because we are in this world and they are not."
#16
Imaginary Friend
My 4 year old has an imaginary friend named John. He's had him for a while, but a few months ago he came to me, completely serious and said, "Big John said he loves you." and then walked away. Now he has always referred to him as his Buddy John. Foe example, " My buddy John and I...."
My grandfather's name was John and everyone used to call him Big John. He passed away when I was 6 years old. We lived with him at the time of his passing and he was such a huge part of my life. I have never referred to him as Big John or even John when speaking about him, always just grandpa.

Idk how parents can be OK with imaginary friends... If my kid said that I'd probably call an exorcist!
#17
A Broken Arm
My sister described her “imaginary” friend, saying: “He sits on my bed and waits for his mom. He’s not allowed to go home by himself because of his arm.” I asked what happened to his arm, and she said: “His mom ran him over when he was drawing with chalk. That’s why he’s always crying, because he doesn’t like being dead.”
#18
I Hope I Don't Die Again
My 5 year old asked me when he is going to be 23- I told him in 18 years- he replied- well, I hope don't die again- cause that's how old I was the last time I went to heaven.
#19
Talking Painting
My family has recently moved to a new home in a new country. It was a well-furnished apartment, and in our bedroom was a painting that looked like hair free-flowing in the air. It wasn’t a pleasant or soothing painting, but I was trying to make peace with it. My son was 2½ years old then. One day I was settling him down for an afternoon nap in my bedroom, when he said, ‘I don’t wanna sleep in this room.’ I asked him why, and he said, ‘This painting looks at me and tries to talk to me, and I don’t like it.’”

Seeing People
On my way from work, my 3 year old daughter in the back seat, we'd pass a very old cemetery every day. She used to tell me the people in there were waving to her. I would tell her there was nobody there, and I explained what a cemetery was. She was ADAMANT she saw people, and a school, and a store, and they'd wave to her. This went on for several months, and every day she'd tell me. I was telling this to a co-worker who lived in the area, and was a history buff. He then researched the cemetery, and told me the area was actually the site of where soldiers fought in the war, and they were buried there. They also made a very tiny town for a small time, Samptown, and there was a school, and a little store, and some people lived there. If that wasn't enough to freak me out, one day driving past my daughter told me a lady "in there" wanted her to come in. I found a different route home after that.
#21
A Death Prophecy
My mom told me that when I was a kid, around the age of 4, I would go to my great-grandmother everyday to spend some time with her, and everytime I was going home, I would say to her (as a good reigious child I was): "God be with you", but one time, when I was leaving, I told her: "Go with god". Acording to my mom, she (my mom) correct me, but I insist in saying "Go with god".
That night, my great-grandmother died.
#22
I Met Your Babies
I have had multiple miscarriages.
My daughter: I met your babies that died, in my dream. They want you to know that you're a good mom.
#23
The Dead Baby
My daughter was three, and I was getting her ready for the day. She had been waking up with nightmares almost every night for a month or two. I asked what she wanted for breakfast, and she told me she wanted to share it with the dead baby in her closet. I thought she meant one of her dolls, but when I pulled them out, she said "no, not a doll, the dead one that sleeps on the closet floor at night."
#24
Car Crash
We were driving down a dark, snowy highway late one evening - final stretch of a 16- hour-long road trip. My son, who was around 4 or 5 at the time, was in the back seat and becoming a bit restless. He suddenly covered his face with a blanket and announced loudly, "I don't want to get glass on my face!" A few moments later, a pick-up truck towing some snowmobiles pulled out in front of a tractor trailer a few cars in front of us and got hit, spinning out into the median. Fortunately, we avoided.

I remember when my dad made chicken for dinner once, he took the galss casserole-type dish out of the over and placed it on the stove. The stove must have been too cold for some reason because the dish shattered. Thing is, I swear I saw my dad jump back before it broke.
#25
Making Crosses
When I was about 3 we had a cat that had still born kittens. I asked my father if we could make crosses for them, which he did. As he was making them I asked: "aren't those too small?",
Dad: "What do you Mean?"
Me: "aren't we going to nail them to them?"
Dad: (after several moments silence) "we're not going to do that"
Me: "oh"
#26
Scary Flight
“On a flight with my son, the plane took off and hit a couple bumps. The passengers were being somewhat quiet when my son yelled, ‘WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!"
#27
The Lady In The Bedroom
My 3-year-old son was softly singing while he was coloring. I stopped to listen, but I had never heard the song before. I asked where he learned it, and he said: “The lady in my bedroom sang it to me.”
#28
Right Next To You
Not creepy, but sad. My best friend died and I was trying to get back to my hometown for the funeral. I got overwhelmed with grief and laid my head down on my desk and started crying. My daughter came into the kitchen and asked me what was wrong (she was 8 at the time). I told her I was so sad because my friend died and I was missing her so much. My kiddo said, "don't be so sad, mommy, she's standing right next to you!" I still get goosebumps just thinking about it!

The Man In The Wardrobe
When I was about 4, my mom found me in the bathroom with all my Barbies, making them float facedown in the bath. When she asked what I was doing, I replied: “The man in the wardrobe told me if I didn’t do it, it would be my turn to swim facedown.”
#30
Breaking The News
My step dad passed away, and my nephew had to stay at my moms for the night while they dealt with things and they were struggling on how to tell him about his grandfather's passing. In the morning they broke the news to him, but he already knew. Said paw paw and his war buddies, he named them, were in there teaching him how to play poker cuz he was all alone. The kid will clear a poker table to this day.
#31
The Other Family
“My 6-year old came home from school one day, bursting through the door with tears streaming down her face. ‘I miss my other family,’ she said. ‘What other family?’ I asked, thinking she may have been talking about her grandparents, or other friends or relatives. ‘My alien robot family,’ she explained, continuing to explain that she lived with them in the sky before she came into my tummy. She chose to come down because she was angry with them, and chose our family, but now she missed them and wanted to go back for a visit.”
#32
Take Grandma
A huge thunder storm one night my son about four at the time put his hands on the sliding glass doors and says " oh god don't take me I'm too young to die, (looks back at my mom) take gramma she is old!"
#33
You'll Die
Last year my daughter kept crying and telling me I was going to die at 33 like my dad. I never told her or remember telling anyone while she was around that my dad died when he was 33.
Well... I am 33 years old and I have to say I have been living carefully this year. Hoping to make it until next month when I turn 34.
#34
A Nice Ghost
“The other week, I was reading my 2-year-old daughter a bedtime story. When we finished, we were talking about been scared of ghosts, monsters, trolls, etc. and she turned to me and said, ‘Daddy, I’m not scared of ghosts.’ I asked, ‘Why’s that?’ to which she replied, ‘Because the one that comes into my room at night and strokes my hair is a nice one.’”
#35
A Dying Tree
When I was really little I pointed to a tree outside my house and said to my family: “That tree is going to die.” No one thought anything of it, but the next morning it randomly fell over and crushed my grandpa’s car.
PandasAreMyFav 7 years ago
Seems like grandpa would have like to been told that his car was going to be crushed.
#36
I'm Gonna Drive Over You
My 6 year old daughter in the passenger seat a few days ago looked at me and said "Dad. When I'm seven I'm going to kill you. No wait when I'm eight". I had to ask so "How are you going to do that?". She smiled and said "I'm gonna drive over your head with this car".
#37
Red-Eyed Man
We were on our way home to Alabama from Texas and my son was in the backseat and he said "mommy, who's the man in the backseat with me?"
It was just us two. No one else with us (that I could see). I asked him to describe him and he said "he's just black with red eyes. He's scaring me."
So, I pulled over and out his seat in the front with me and he said the man looked like he wanted to eat me when I moved him.
So there's that.
#38
I Didn't Choose
My son always says odd things. Usually they're funny but this one threw me for a loop.
He is 8. I was telling him how much I love him and thanks for being in my life. He said. I didn't choose this life. I couldn't control how it began. But I can control how it ends.
#39
The Storm Is Coming
My niece drew a picture "of a man in her room" that she kept telling her parents about. He had two different colored eyes, and one was gray. When asked why it was gray, she responded "because he can see the storm coming."
#40
The Dreamer In The Dream
My 6-year-old nephew told my brother that everyone on Earth was a figment of "Jonah's" imagination and that when "Jonah" wakes up, we'll all disappear. When asked who Jonah is, he replied VERBATIM: "he's the one who sleeps. The dreamer in the dream." Made my skin crawl the first time he told me.

#42
I Was An Angel
My youngest now 5 started talking super early; like full sentence talking, everyone was shocked by how well he talked for his age.(3 older siblings) So at a year in a half he would tell me he begged God to let me be his mommy. He would says things like "I was an angel in heaven" and "I had another mommy but I wanted you", "I'm so glad God let you be my mommy". We weren't super religious at the time and I just hadn't found a church so it was really random to hear him talk about God, heaven and Angels especially before my other kids actually leaned about religion.
#43
Mom, I Know
I had just took a pregnancy test that came up positive confirming I was pregnant with our 4th baby. I was pretty freaked out and a little surprised and had to keep a straight face because we had company at the time and my husband didn't even know I was taking it. I leave the bathroom and sit on the couch. My oldest son (barely 5 years old at the time) comes over to me acting giddy and goofy and as soon as everyone is out of the living room says to me in a whisper voice "Mom, I know". Me, having not said a single thing about it didn't know what he was referring to. "Know what?" I say back with a smile, thinking he's just being goofy. "That there's a baby in your belly!" He whispers with a huge grin and runs off.
I felt like I had seen a ghost! To this day I have no clue how he could have known that when I myself had just found out minutes before! When I asked him later how he knew, he responded "I just knew!".
#44
All By Myself
When my youngest daughter was about 2-3 we were just talking and she said "I died all by myself" I asked her why she was talking about. She said "not when you was my mommy, when I lived with my old mommy. She had brown skin and so did I. The spider bit me and I died all by myself!" She is deathly afraid of spiders still and she is almost 13!!

Delicious Dinner
My four year old son said, "Daddy, I want to drill into your tummy, crawl inside and eat your dinner." The food was ok but I didn't think it was worth that much effort.
#46
A Long Time Ago
A little neighbor kid I use to babysit was quietly playing with his toys when, without looking up, he says to me, "you look so different now." I had to ask him what he meant. "You mean how different I look with makeup?" And he said, "no, a long long time ago. A LONG long time ago." He seemed frustrated, like he couldn't find the right words. He then looked up, studied my face and said, "well, not that different. You're still pretty."
It was the strangest compliment I've ever received.
#47
Sure Thing
“My daughter and I were reading on the couch one Sunday morning. It was raining outside. We were wrapped up warm in a blanket. She had a cup of tea. I had that perfect Americano. Life was good. My daughter looked up at me and said, ‘Dad, when you die can I cut you open and look inside?’ I choked a bit on my coffee. My wife simply turned around and did an about-face and walked back upstairs. ‘Sure, I said.’ She looked up at me, smiling.”

Grandpa George
When my son was 2 I told him to be careful when he was jumping around. He said "it's ok mom, grandpa George is watching me". My dad passed away when my son was 2 months old and we hadn't really talked about him.

Stark Reminder
Not a parent, but a former teacher.
I taught English in a school in Spain, and I wasn't supposed to let the kids know that I speak Spanish (so that they are forced to communicate in English). A 10-year-old girl comes up to me one day, grabs me by the hand, and says, with the most horrifying straight face ever, "Te vas a la muerte", or "you're going to die". I was so shocked at the randomness of it that my jaw must have dropped. She then laughed her head off and said, "HA! You DO speak Spanish!". She then skipped away, laughing and smiling.
Creepiest thing a kid has ever said to me. And probably the most clever thing a kid ever did while I was a teacher.

The Mighty Pen
“My daughter’s friend’s dad, Ian, came in for a cup of tea one day when he came to pick his daughter up. My girl, Izzy, was playing with a toy sword. Ian said to her, ‘You know, Izzy, the pen is mightier than the sword.’ Izzy said, ‘I know, yeah, because you can stab someone in the neck with a pen."

1. Kids pick up things & notice things faster than we think they do. So some of these stories about dead grannies or wtv they may have overheard. 2. Kids love scary stories and sometimes pretend and just fool around. When I was small I also tried to creep out my mum after watching some Poltergeist. 3. Kids who clearly have a f****d up imagination at an early age just shows how our movies and media have affected us. "Shake your guts out, cut your head off"- Damn! I dont know what programs ur kids watch to even know these processes. 4. The rest- i totally believe in reincarnation and that kids may be able to see what we as adults are blind to.

I sometimes wonder if I would have said more creepy things if I could talk better when I was little, but I had a hearing impairment. It went away when I grew since it was based on my inner ear being too small and getting blocked very easily- but I was in kindergarten before they got me looked at and got me treated. Despite that, I still have full conversations with people while I'm asleep. It's mostly me just responding to questions and telling them I'm not ready to get out of bed yet but I'm awake. So you know. I'm one of the special few who actually can say they are awake and be lying.
Cori Crabb 2 years ago (edited)
I'm late to this but, when I was small, I would start talking to air (according to my parents) and one time when I was sitting on my bed I asked someone to get up and my mom saw the blanket move a little. I didn't do it. I still live with my parents (being a minor) and we haven't moved since. Some times I still hear their voices and see things move. Edit: I also hear footsteps at night in the hallway. It's not my parents because I can hear them downstairs. They last for about a second then stop. It could just be me hearing things, but you never know.

The reason why it may seem that kids can see ghosts is because of their creativity. Kids do not know the harsh reality and they believe what they see. But older people like me do not see things we are not supposed to see, and we lost belief. We know what life is like and children do not. They only think it is about fun. Sad, sad children.

I’ve had a similar story, I remember it quite clearly. My younger sister around 3 or 4 and I (I was around 7 or 8 at the time) was over at my aunts house, I was there spending time with my cousin and my sister was in the kitchen whilst my mum and aunt was outside in the sun. My sister walked into the living room smiling with her hands behind her back, me and my cousin looked at her and she held out a large kitchen knife in her hands and started chasing me and my cousin. Us two started screaming and ran upstairs into his bedroom and slamming the door, my sister then started knocking on the door. Soon after I heard my mum and aunt on the opposite side of the door shouting her and telling her she shouldn’t be doing that. Her Response? “I just wanted to play”

I have a memory of being a baby and being in the baby carriage outside of a red brick funeral parlor and my mother and grandmother saying, "At least he got to meet Jacqui." I always thought they were talking about my grandfather. I was never sure if it was a dream or what, but I can still remember it. A couple years ago I was doing my family tree and found out my great-grandfather, my mother's, mother's father, died when I was 1 month and 5 days old.

When my nephew was about 5 (he's on the high functioning side of the autism spectrum) he used to tell me what color my aura was. Once he was upstairs cleaning his room and talking to himself (or so we thought). My sister sat at the top of the stairs to listen to him and he started getting angry and yelling "no stop doing that I'm trying to clean up my toys!"

When my oldest daughter was 3 she used to talk at night in her room. Sounded just like she was having a conversation with someone but I only heard what she daid... I asked her one day who she talked to at night in her room. She replied "I talk to the lady in the long blue dress that visits me...she is sad and likes to talk to me" Weird....and scary

When he was three was Mum was telling him a story one night about me when I was little a funny little thing that she had just remembered ( I had never heard it before) But my son knew the ending, telling us that " Mum's Daddy told me that, he sits on my bed at night and tells me things.

My dad used to live in front of a cemetery. On night I slept on his couch and saw him at the end of the hall with his coat on. The next morning I asked him where he was going. He said nowhere. I told him what I saw and he said "oh that's the man in the overcoat. I see him all the time." Forward 5 yrs and my son is 3. My dad has been dead a year. We moved to a house about 6 blocks from my dads old apartment. I kept hearing my son talking in his room when I put him to bed at night. After weeks of this I asked him who he was talking to. He said"oh, that's the man in the overcoat. Poppy sends him to tell me stories". It freaked me out even more when things started crashing off shelves and doors started slamming open.

When my little sister was about 4, we lived near a cemetery and would drive past it almost every day. One time we drove past and she just said, "I see dead people." Another time, she noticed some birds pecking at the grass seeds and said, "The crows are eating the dead people." with a completely straight face. We avoided driving down that road.

We move to a new home when my sons was about 4. Now he is 11. We talked about the day we moved in. He told me that the people who lived there were really nice and they were sitting on the sofa. Which they left for us. I really get chills at that moment. Because the day we moved in, there was nobody than us in that house...

Okay I just read #69 & wtf? No wonder the kid is gonna turn out to be a serial killer when you let it hit your dog in the head heavily and don't f*****g stop that behaviour in its tracks. And btw not every kid does that, ftr... I would have hit that kid in the head heavily and asked if it liked it.

I remember my mom was writing a birthday card to my grandfather. She started writing it, then folded it and ripped it with big eyes. I asked her what was wrong and she said she wrote "Dead Daddy" instead of "Dear Daddy"; he dropped dead out of the blue a few months later. Decades later I asked her about that. She said she was always creeped out about that.

My sister (same dad) is 21 years older then i am. She told me this; When i was like 4 years old we were in Greek on a holiday in a big old house. I was playing in a room where was not much light coming in so it was always a little dark but i, for some reason, wanted only to play in there. My sister was sitting at a table and i sat playing on the floor when i - out of the blue - looked up and said with a dead face and creepy voice " He hides in the lamp but you don't have to be scared. " my sister freaked out. My mom told me i always screamed her awake every night for years and when she came in to my room i was sittin in bed on tears telling her that the old man with the top hat and the long black coat was staring at me at the end of my bed again. I had blocked those memorys but when she told me i knew everything again. 15 years afther that i almost died and was in hospital for about 2weeks (barely remember) and my mom & brother told me when they where visiting me i saw the old man aga

Not surprising. Our youngest keeps saying he has met his great grandfather. Pointed him out in a painting. (He's been dead over 13 years and our child is 6.) He brings him up time and again. We are over the shock. No biggie. It's life, death, the experience of it all . hey, we ALL do it..no one gets out alive baby. Take it for what you will. If you don't believe, good on ya. Sleep tight.

Mom told me this story.. My niece, who was about 2 at the time, was playing in an upstairs bedroom a few days after my dad had passed away.. My mom went to go get her to get her ready for dinner and saw her waving out the window. My mom asked her who she was waving at, and with a big grin on her face replied, "Grampa. Hi grampa!" My mom said she had chills instantly because obviously my dad wasnt outside.. No one was.

1. Kids pick up things & notice things faster than we think they do. So some of these stories about dead grannies or wtv they may have overheard. 2. Kids love scary stories and sometimes pretend and just fool around. When I was small I also tried to creep out my mum after watching some Poltergeist. 3. Kids who clearly have a f****d up imagination at an early age just shows how our movies and media have affected us. "Shake your guts out, cut your head off"- Damn! I dont know what programs ur kids watch to even know these processes. 4. The rest- i totally believe in reincarnation and that kids may be able to see what we as adults are blind to.

I sometimes wonder if I would have said more creepy things if I could talk better when I was little, but I had a hearing impairment. It went away when I grew since it was based on my inner ear being too small and getting blocked very easily- but I was in kindergarten before they got me looked at and got me treated. Despite that, I still have full conversations with people while I'm asleep. It's mostly me just responding to questions and telling them I'm not ready to get out of bed yet but I'm awake. So you know. I'm one of the special few who actually can say they are awake and be lying.

I'm late to this but, when I was small, I would start talking to air (according to my parents) and one time when I was sitting on my bed I asked someone to get up and my mom saw the blanket move a little. I didn't do it. I still live with my parents (being a minor) and we haven't moved since. Some times I still hear their voices and see things move. Edit: I also hear footsteps at night in the hallway. It's not my parents because I can hear them downstairs. They last for about a second then stop. It could just be me hearing things, but you never know.

I find these very interesting and fascinating but we would need something cooler or more creepy like pictures of kids drawings or something they saw like that.

The reason why it may seem that kids can see ghosts is because of their creativity. Kids do not know the harsh reality and they believe what they see. But older people like me do not see things we are not supposed to see, and we lost belief. We know what life is like and children do not. They only think it is about fun. Sad, sad children.

My daughter asked me to check under the couch for a monster. She said it looks like a man, might possibly be dead, is staring with wide open eyes and rolling his arms in a motion kind of like when you twiddle your thumbs. Thanks for the nightmares, kid!

I’ve had a similar story, I remember it quite clearly. My younger sister around 3 or 4 and I (I was around 7 or 8 at the time) was over at my aunts house, I was there spending time with my cousin and my sister was in the kitchen whilst my mum and aunt was outside in the sun. My sister walked into the living room smiling with her hands behind her back, me and my cousin looked at her and she held out a large kitchen knife in her hands and started chasing me and my cousin. Us two started screaming and ran upstairs into his bedroom and slamming the door, my sister then started knocking on the door. Soon after I heard my mum and aunt on the opposite side of the door shouting her and telling her she shouldn’t be doing that. Her Response? “I just wanted to play”

I have a memory of being a baby and being in the baby carriage outside of a red brick funeral parlor and my mother and grandmother saying, "At least he got to meet Jacqui." I always thought they were talking about my grandfather. I was never sure if it was a dream or what, but I can still remember it. A couple years ago I was doing my family tree and found out my great-grandfather, my mother's, mother's father, died when I was 1 month and 5 days old.

When my nephew was about 5 (he's on the high functioning side of the autism spectrum) he used to tell me what color my aura was. Once he was upstairs cleaning his room and talking to himself (or so we thought). My sister sat at the top of the stairs to listen to him and he started getting angry and yelling "no stop doing that I'm trying to clean up my toys!" My sister asked who he was talking to and he said "the little boy in here. He keeps taking my toys out and I'm trying to put them away!"
