Here Are 50 Of The Most Hilarious And Slightly Creepy Stories About Kids’ Imaginary Friends
Having an imaginary friend is a totally normal part of childhood. It shows that the kid’s imagination is up and running and sometimes it can be quite hilarious how they interact with their invisible friends. Often the “friends” are the ones to blame for the troubles the little kids have gotten into, or they entertain them and share their daily life. However, when there’s what seems like paranormal forces involved together with a vivid imagination, it gets slightly scary and parents at least have Twitter to share the frightful things kids say with others.
At the end of the day, haunted or not, adorable or creepy kids and their imaginary friends are pretty hilarious and the following are the best tweets from the viral thread online. You can share your hilarious or scary stories about kids’ imaginary friends in the comments.

This reminds me of a conversation my uncle started with my dad, he has a toddler that mumbles to herself and the walls. My dad asks why she does that and my uncle says I don't know maybe she talks to the dead. My dad then says "Have you ever thought that your dead, I mean it's a possibility that she talks to the dead so maybe that's why she talks to you because your dead. Although we can talk to you so maybe we can talk to the dead too."
BOO DEZ IM FOLLOWING UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Load More Replies...i just hate arranging exorcisms on my toddler. so much hassle and you have to make them sit still while you do it. sigh.
Does anyone else just find this guy boring now? The only 'imaginary' occurrence here is the 'conversations' he has with his kids...
I would do that. Just straight up forget and he would die and I'd be like, "Oh, well, whatever."
it gets creepy as my son starts playing with his friend he tells he can see him everywhere whereas all my family members do not see him
Bruh screw imaginary people. My sister had an entire imaginary land, complete with 2 civiliations at war with each other. TBF, my sister keeps this up at age 8, and she no longer believes in it she just likes making up the stories. And she created the war at 8, and the civilizations at 5 or 6. But she always had Mr. Nobody, who had a wife woth my name, and a lot of children who are still aloud depsite the fact the my siste rwas forced to execute Mr. and Mrs. Nobody. No, she hasn't had any childhood trauma, and who the heck called child protection services. Oh, and one of them can change his age and like sitting on my head.
This is amazing! Have you read any Lord of the Rings? I feel sure you have that's the first thing I thought of when I read about the different civilizations, races and map.

Many wayward spirits get trapped in the space between our world and the other. This is where we get haunting from. Children are all newly returned to life and in order to be born they all have to pass through this limbo space. Often it leaves a residual, like walking through a spider web. Over time the web or veil fades, but before it does, ghosts or spirits can interact with them. Being children, they play, mostly harmlessly.
i remember i had a imaginary friend and his name was elephant and yes he was an elephant, but one time i crashed my dirt bike and i told my mom that "elephant" made me crash
I used to have an imaginary friend named Lily, who lived in Colodado Springs. I was about 4-5 and I didn't know that Colorado Springs is where we lived at th time. I gave her a seat in the car, and shared my food with her. Something creepy my mom told me about Lily was... So one day I was talking to myself and stared a mirror. My mom came over and she's like " Are you having a nice conversation with yourself? " in a joking way. ( I dont remember this AT ALL ) So I'm like " Not with myself, can't you see Lily and her brother Nightmare in the wall? They say its the only way I can talk to them! ( through the mirror )" My mom looked horrified and I then said " Nightmare said you and daddy look very nice while your sleeping too! " My mom took sold the mirror and sold it the next day.Me now, Im like " Bro thats so creepy "
My little sister had 3 imaginary friends. Tinny with the black hair, Tinny with the red hair and Tinny with the blonde hair. For years she would tell us stories about each of them until we randomly noticed that she stopped talking about Tinny w/ red hair, so we asked her and she said, "Tinny with the red hair died in a fire." Then she just skipped off.
When my daughter was not quite 3, she had an imaginary friend named Miss Manning. Asked to describe her, she said, “She’s tall like Mommy, with a black dress and a black hat. And sometimes I can see what’s behind her. And she’s sad sometimes.” Me: “Why is she sad?” Daughter: “Because she doesn’t get to live anymore.”
I had an imaginary mouse named Mitzi, and she came with me everywhere.
Load More Replies...I feel like I’m the only one who didn’t have an imaginary friend, of course when I was younger I’d talk to myself, actually I did that a lot. (Maybe still do) But it was always me just talking to myself, no imaginary person and I was fully aware it was just me talking to myself.
i had an imaginary friend who i named jasmine, she was quite normal except for the fact she was half fish.
I'm starting to realize I want to deal with haunted houses like I do with spiders, just burn it all down and move!
I would be interested to know if there has been any research on imaginary friends and what percentage of kids who have them are the only child. God bless all the parents who have to put up with that... my parents included!❤️
I remember reading this study, cannot recall who by, that researched the number of children with imaginary friends where their mother had a miscarriage before they had the child with the imaginary friend. So was the miscarried child the friend? Can't remember the conclusion either but it was a very interesting premise. I had an imaginary friend and yes, my mother had a miscarriage before getting pregnant with me. Oh, I have 5 siblings just as you mention only children not that this is in anyway conclusive! 65% of children have imaginary friends and there is a higher incidence in only children or first born.

That’s my name! Wait... we must have been friends in a past life, I too climb chandeliers and eat dog food. Creepy.
Load More Replies...I had an imaginary friend when i was two years old i would always sleep next to it then one day she hit me really hard on the head and I started crying then i asked my mom to send her to the corner

If u do read my story start from the part where i am saying "I had an imaginary friend" Hope you enjoy this story!
there was a bomb in almost every room... my parents tried to kill me?! I started to cry... and Onryu came and hugged me, then told me why they wanted to kill me... She said its because of me having an imaginary friend, I guess my parents didn't like Onryu...but what about my friends? i asked Onryu, she said they were talking about taking you to the beach and drowning you... I said no no they didn't sure enough she had a document open on my computer about how they would do it...and then i asked then why the hell did she tell me that she wanted to be the only friend? she told me that she tried to protect me by telling me that...now i'm living "alone" and having a good time with Onryu. Until i found out she was a Japanese spirit of Wraith and was eventually going to kill me too... so i found the nearest exorcist and got the B*tch out of my life forever...I hope.
more real real than you think... This made me shiver in fear. I now ate my food Hoping to god its not poisoned and ran out the door and to my neighbors house i banged o the door hoping for answer... and he opened the door and said what do you need at this hour? i replied sobbing... Please You Have To Help Me My Friends And Parents Were Killed By my Imaginary Friend!!! He let me inside and apparently he can see her too! he said hes been seeing her follow everyone i am close too and killing them, we were talking more about it and then heard a very loud BANG! on the window... we both saw her roaming around the house looking for an entrance and she found one... she came inside and killed my neighbor and said to me what are doing he had a gun he going to shoot you! I replied NO HE WASN'T! Crying my eyeballs out and then sure enough when the body fell there was gun in his hand... i thanked her but was still scared! Then she brought me back to my house an showed me why she killed my parents..
off and she bolted out of my room now i'm wondering if she really did kill them because it is a possibility. this scared the s**t out of me btw, so now me patiently waiting for my parents to get home was getting hungry and me not knowing how to cook i called my parents on the cord phone and nobody answered so i tried again... still no answer then i was worried but remembered how Onryu said she had killed my friends... and how she was still mad at me for telling her to leave and i lay crying on my bed trying to get Onryu to come back, finally she came back and said whats wrong i replied my parents aren't answering the phone and i'm getting hungry (Sniffles) Onryu gave me a hug and told me she would try to make me dinner... i told her thank you and then rememered (Wait shes imaginary how would she make me food?) then i heard her call out for me and shortly after she dinner... i walked out to the dining room and found a table full of foo and asked Onryu how she did it? she then told i am
I had an imaginary friend her name was Onryu. she looked like she had blood on the neck of her dress but she always told me it was paint. well fast forward like 3 days, i went back to school bc summer was over ):< and i made new friends at school so i grew distant from Onryu. sometimes i would see Onryu Peeking around the cafeteria doors and staring at me and my new friends and then when i noticed her she would smile creepily walk away. and when i got home that day i went to my room and noticed something on my bed, something that wasn't there before? and i grabbed it, it was a note from my parents... it read (Hey, hope u had a good first day back to school we are going to pick up some groceries Love u) So now i thought oh okay so they will buying my new cereal In my head i said (HAIL YES!) but now i was disturbed by my imaginary friend Onryu, that day my friends got killed in some unexplained accident? and she told me it was her that killed them i told her to leave and that pissed her
I have a phantom named george burns he is 124 he was a comedian and died bc of heart failure I have yet to tell anyone
When my sister was in 6th grade, she had an imaginary friend named Gretel who was a ghost and who lived in the bathroom lmao.
When me and my sister were younger we believed that the sun and moon were the homes of our imaginary friends and we tried to fly there by jumping on our trampoline with our stuffed animals 😂
I had imaginary children, more than that I can't say. I can only really remember that part cos Mummy reminded me about them no to long ago
I forgot my daughter's imaginary friend's name when she was 3. But he lived on the slide in the backyard and had a red beard or something. She talks to herself a lot, very loud and animated, when she plays make believe. My son just whispers creepily things he has heard us all say. Random schitt.
hey, l used to have a high-tech world where l was king of the universe. And no-one could oppose me. And people who displeased me in real life would end up being the leaders of evil planets, witch l would lead assault teams to destroy. And whenever someone really annoyed me in the real world, l'd imagine torturing them in my head later. l have what you might call issues, but i'm fine now
When I was small I believed Goofy were under my bed or at the hallway waiting to kill md xD
I was once ta this really old pharmacy, like over 100 years old, and my 3 year old daughter needed to use the bathroom. I asked the pharmacist if she could use the bathroom and he told me to go through the storage room and it was in back. As soon as we entered the storage room my daughter stops dead in her tracks and says, "MAMA, Mama...someone died in here." The hairs on my neck went straight up. She had never said anything like that before, or since.
I used to have 2 imaginary friends. One was called Magic, the other Nothing. So I would say 'Magic did it!' or 'Nothing did it!' when I got in trouble. To the great confusion of my parents.
I never had an imaginary friend and now I feel like a bigger loser than I ever was.
I had a bunch of imaginary cats that I would bring to summer camp. There was one of every color, but i only remember Ginger (Orange) A lime cat who's name I forget, Lemon (Yellow), A pink cat who i think was named raspberry or something, Blueberry (Blue,), and Blackberry (Black).
I think some of these are imaginary friends and some are kids with a gift. A friend of mine was creeped out when her husband started sleepwalking in their new apartment. He'd wake up in front of the kitchen cupboard, assumed he was just thirsty, would grab a drink and go back to bed. My friend was wiping the top off the cupboard one day and found a fully loaded heroine syringe. She called the leasing office and they told her the previous tenant died from a heroine overdose. After the syringe was disposed of, her husband stopped sleepwalking.
I was the weird kid who had imaginary kids instead of imaginary friends.
Umm the closest I got was a imaginary pony named Princess but I knew it was fake :-(
I never had imaginary friends but I have my own little world that I will escape to sometimes when I need to get away from reality. I’ve been doing this since I was 6
I had an imaginary baby dinosaur in fourth grade. I hatched him from an egg and gave him pets. I miss that dude, but last I heard of him, he made a little life for himself. Found a husband and adopted a little bird! He’s now a CEO of his own company. Proud of that little dude 😌 I think his name was Steven
I had 2 imaginary friends. But they played together and left me aside. :(
My mom's imaginary friend was named Christian Science. She's sure she had never heard of the group (religion?) before that time.
