40 Of The Eeriest Things Kids Have Ever Said To People That Sent Chills Down Their Spines
Time and again, kids prove to us that creativity has no limits. Their curious ideas, big hearts, and vivid imaginations that are stretched as far as the eye can see bring joy and humor to our lives. When children create entertainment out of nothing and see magic in the most mundane things, their crazy adventures never end.
But while every single mom and dad to one of these little rascals can agree that kids are honest, pure and overwhelmingly cute, those are not the only things they are capable of. Apparently, they have a darker side to them too. So parents, relatives, and sometimes even total strangers are taking to the internet to share eerie and paranormal things the little ones have told them.
Today, we’re taking a deep dive into the moments when kids casually said something spooky and gave goosebumps to everyone around them. Get ready for weird questions and odd statements about the spirit world because we have collected some of the most mysterious stories found online. Continue scrolling through and let us know if you have any similar otherworldly experiences to share!
Psst! After you’re done reading this article, check out our previous ones with kids saying the most spine-chilling things and parents realizing their little ones are downright creepy.

My 3 year old grandson has babbled about plane crashes since he started talking. He would reenact (with toys) a plane chasing another plane and as the first suddenly dropped to the ground he'd yell in a heart-rending scream, "OH NO WE CRASHED!" This was his first sentence. He did this over and over.
Early this summer he's 3 and I'm reading him a bedtime story. I pause & look up at him and he said to me, "Granny, I was a pilot, my plane was the Kitty Hawk. I crashed into the water when they shotted off my wing and shotted off my face."
It almost stopped my heart.
He looked so troubled and sad. I told him that he had done his best and I was very proud of him and that he was only a little boy now and needed to not worry about that but if he needed to talk about it he could anytime. I just hugged him.
I researched and Kitty Hawks were used by almost every country early in WW2.
A few weeks ago I was getting breakfast ready for my 3 year old when he nonchalantly told me his Grandma fell down the stairs. About an hour later Grandpa calls us to tell us Grandma had fallen down the stairs.
Also last weekend my 3 year old said my sister was going to visit the next day and guess who showed up for a 'surprise' visit...
People often hear how children can unintentionally say things that leave everyone around them gasping, hoping their ears are playing tricks on them. But kids will be kids — very curious little creatures — and they will always sneak up on us with their surprising insights. And as you can see from these stories, the bizarre questions and statements that stand right on the edge of that muddy line between fantasy and reality are just a few of the ideas they come up with.
However, while most of us see their mysterious wisdom as another way of letting their inner creative genius shine through, people who lean toward the supernatural can become easily spooked. Let’s be real, hearing about their disturbing imaginary friends or a ghost begging for help in the attic is horror movie material right there. But at least it makes life anything but boring.
When my daughter was around 4 yrs old, she had a habit of waking me up by getting 4 inches from my face and staring at me until I opened my eyes. Once my eyes opened, she'd say, "Mommy your face is pretty. I want to wear it on my face."
Ok, Hannibal, let's get some breakfast.
what else did u expect after naming your daughter Hannibal? duh.
My 3 yo daughter was going through the monsters under her bed phase. Lasted for weeks, and it was really wearing on her mom & me.
One night after mom tried to put her to bed, she tagged me in. After 30 minutes, I grew pretty frustrated. In a last ditch attempt, I promised my daughter that there weren't any monster under her bed. She replied, "I know. Now they're behind you."
After that, I let her sleep with us for a week.
My 12-year-old comes up to me visibly shaken and said that she thinks she saw someone in the bathroom. I asked her to clarify and she said when she walked past, it looked like someone ducked into the shower. Mind you it was just her and I at home at that time, since my husband was at work.
So, we have a Doberman named Rango, and I have him follow me to the hallway where the bathroom is. My adrenaline is pumping hard, and as I quietly and slowly crept to the bathroom. I stopped a few feet away from the door and looked at Rango. He looks at me and I point to the bathroom.
I s**t you not, he f*****g understood loud and clear what I wanted, and he looks at the bathroom and slowly and carefully stalked towards the bathroom with the fur on his back raised. When I saw him react like this, I was CONVINCED someone was in there and my heart started racing.
Once he made it over the bathroom threshold, he paused and leaned his body in as he sniffed the air, and one step at a time, he slowly crept in leaning and sniffing.
Once he made it all the way in, he became more comfortable and relaxed and looked in the shower sniffing around, then he just looked at me like "Really?" and did that huff thing dogs do through their nose, and walked right passed me out of the bathroom looking somewhat irritated.
But for good measure, I had him check the rest of the rooms just in case.
For some people, children’s fertile imaginations can make them challenge their beliefs about ghosts and reincarnation. There are volumes upon volumes of theories online about how children can communicate with the spirit world. They are usually based on the idea that the little ones don’t have conventional norms fully “installed” in them and spend their days in imaginary fantasy lands. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
“Children actually are quite good at making the distinction between fantasy and reality at quite a young age, so I don’t [think] they say these things because they’re confused,” Jacqueline D. Woolley, a psychology professor at the University of Texas who researches children’s evaluation and understanding of reality, told Bored Panda. She believes children often say things to find out what adults will say, as a way to gain information about the world.
“Once they’ve made the fantasy-reality distinction regarding basic things, they need to figure out where unfamiliar or novel things fit in. Saying something that might seem eerie to an adult might be a child’s way of gathering information,” the professor explained.
When my daughter was 4-5 years old we lived in a two bedroom townhouse. It was just the two of us (mom and daughter, her dad passed away). She always crept into my bed at night but never said why. One day we were cleaning her room and putting away laundry and she got very agitated and said, “Why is he here now? He said he only comes at night.” I asked if she was talking about Dad. She said, “No the boy with no hands.”
We moved a few months later and she’s never come into my bed at night or mentioned him since.
My two year old has a motion-sensored night light in his room. One night , he wouldn't fall asleep. He kept "talking" to someone/something and was playing. He hadn't eaten much for dinner, so I decided to get him up for a midnight snack. I made him some macaroni and cheese and fed it to him from a bowl as he sat on the couch and watched tv with me.
Suddenly the motion light turned on in his room, unprovoked. Odd, but whatever. It turned off again, and we went back to watching tv. Suddenly, my son stops, and looks down the dark, empty hall leading to his bedroom. His face lit up and he says, "Hiii!" He runs up to the darkness, and starts babbling to it, talking to it.
Then he runs back, grabs his fork, puts some mac&cheese on it, runs back to the darkness and holds his fork up to it, like he's trying to feed it. He started getting impatient that "it" wasn't eating, but kept baby talking it. Finally he gives up, waves and says, "Buh bye!" And then goes back to watching tv like nothing happened.
When my oldest son was about three he asked one night at bed time. "Mommy I like you better than my fake mommy". Me "who's your fake mommy?" Him "You can't see her. She tucks me in after you do."
It’s important to note that many of the eerie and spooky stories the little ones say aloud may arise from miscommunication between them and the adults. We might build our own interpretations and give much more meaning to their quotes, making them scarier than they were meant to be.
When asked why there are so many theories about kids allegedly seeing ghosts or conjuring up stories about them, Woolley told us there are a couple of reasons. “One, I think people like the idea of children believing in fantastical beings, and so they pay special attention when kids seem to do that.”
“Second, children are very good at figuring out what adults believe and at gathering information about the world from what adults tell them. If a child lives in a household in which family members endorse certain kinds of beings then it’s likely that a child will try to fit in by attempting to do so as well,” the professor said, explaining how kids have a tendency to be like sponges soaking up everything around them.
When I was really small, my Dad would go out of town quite a bit because of his job. One night when he was at home, I went up to my Mom, who was in bed, and said, “Who is that strange man in bed with you?”
Mom blinked and said, “That’s your Father.”
Shortly afterwards, Dad stopped traveling so much.
I have twin daughters. One day while playing outside, one looked up at the sky and said, "The sky is cracked... and on fire."
My other daughter looked up and said, "Yes.... the people are screaming."
Then they went back to playing with dolls. Fingers crossed they're not predicting the future, everybody!
Those kids could've possibly had past lives as children who were victims of a severe volcano eruption that wiped out the town they were in, like Pompeii, they could've perished during the events of Pompeii and that was their brief re-enactment of it. The "sky on fire" part could've been the fireballs that erupted from the volcano and flew up into the sky before crashing down on land. Try watching the movie that came out about it, heartbreaking movie, it's definitely a tear jerker; but it gives you a better idea of what happened rather than just reading about it. Maybe then my comment will be better understood.
My oldest kept talking in his bed past bed time. When we asked him who he was talking to he said he was talking to the floating white lady. I don't remember the description he gave us, but what I DO remember is kid #3 doing the same f*****g routine 8 years later...
I feel bad for that 2nd child. Not even house ghost likes middle child.
When children report visits from the other side or point at obscure objects only they can see, you can’t help but wonder how they think of these paranormal stories. “They probably come up with these things because they hear their parents saying similar things,” the professor said.
But try to stay calm if your little dreamer starts telling you similar unearthly stories and listen to the advice Wolley has to give you. “I think it’s always good to probe kids’ feelings about things — maybe ask them if what they saw was friendly, if they wanted to be its friend. Or maybe if it was scary, ask what was scary about it. Listen to your child’s feelings and try to work from them,” she concluded.
Once when my toddler was hugging me he quietly said “I won’t eat your bones.”
Oh, uh...much obliged...
Starting at about 18 months, my daughter had an imaginary friend. NBD. At first, we didn’t think much of it because she seemed to delight in its presence. She would talk with the friend, and play with him, and he was generally a protective presence although she said that he did like to get into mischief. After a few months of this, we started asking our daughter questions about her friend and she would give us very specific answers, like his gender, first and last name, age, hair, eye color, etc. My partner and I thought, wow, those are some really specific details for an 18-month-old to provide. So, we googled the name. Turns out, there was a boy who [passed away] in another state that matched the name, age, height, hair, and eye color of my kid's “imaginary friend.” Now, thinking this imaginary friend to be a ghost, we asked my daughter if she knew how the boy [passed away], and she was correct. Mind blown.
After about a year of this “friend” hanging around, we summon the courage to message a group set up to memorialize the boy. We get a message back from the boy's mom. Turns out she has the exact same profession as my partner and, months before we contacted her, had planned on visiting the city we lived in. We ended up actually meeting her later that year.
My daughter actually had this friend for about 3.5 more years and then he came around less and less. Every once in a while, she still talks about him, or sets toys aside for him. It’s crazy.
18 months old can say colors, height, age, gender etc? Wow, must be genius 👏
My three year old son said, "Next time I'm a baby, I want to have green eyes." I asked him if he had been a different baby before being who he currently is, and he squinted his eyes, looked at me like I was an idiot, and said, "Yes, papa."
I TOLD MY DAUGHTER WHEN SHE WAS 5 OR SO, I AM SO HAPPY I AM HER FATHER. SHE STRAIGHT TURNED TO ME AND SAID : DAD I PICKED YOU.
When my special needs son was 10, he had to have a very serious surgery. It was an 8 hour procedure and it was a pretty risky operation. We did not tell him these risks. Right before they wheeled him into surgery, he hugged me and said "Goodbye. Forever...". He made it through and his quality of life was dramatically improved by the surgery. Scariest 8 hours of my life though.
Picked him up from daycare when he was 3. Driving home, totally quiet, him just staring out the window... he randomly asks "hey dad, 'member that time we [passed away] in a fire?"
My three day old infant was sleeping with rapid eye movements (dreaming). I watched her crack a smile, which deepened and turned into a belly laugh. What does a three day old infant have to dream about that cracks them up?
I've often wondered that myself. I've also wondered what they see when they have nightmares.
He started refusing to go downstairs (age around 3-3.5), terrified, saying there was an evil ‘angel man’ down there that wanted to hurt the whole family. Consistently drew the same picture of said angel man too.
My daughter, about 6 months ago, was having a conversation to herself, I asked who she was talking too, “Uncle Lee”
My brother [passed away] 8 years before she was born, in her broken language skills (being 2 and a half at the time) she told me he was happy to see her and said hi to daddy.
Didn’t know what to say or do.
I used to say things my grandfather used to say a lot. Like yelling out in German at our dog. My grandfather [passed away] years before I was born.
"Mommy, will you ever hurt me with a knife" I told her no. She followed up with "ok good. I know some moms do that" she was 3 when this happened. She had never seen videos or anything that showed child abuse, so I'm not sure how she was aware that some parents hurt their kids. Shes also never been abused by anyone.
My special needs son has made so many comments about keeping my body when I [pass away], I've considered specifically putting info into the will to make sure it doesn't ever happen.
Remember Norman, I'm the only one who loves you, only your mother truly loves you.
my youngest brother (5 at the time) asked me if I wanted to come to play with the girl in the wall. freaked me the f**k out
"Hey, sis. U wanna go play with the girl in the wall?" "WHAT THE F**K"
Not a parent, but one time my brother at around age 6-7 (he's 10 now) mentioned an old apartment we used to live in years before he was born. I asked him how he knew about it, and he said "Before I was born, Jesus showed me and said 'This is going to be your future family.'" Our family / community isn't religious at all.
I have a freckle on either side of my mouth. My little sister once said that it looked like a good place to "start cutting"
I was asking my 3-year-old if he remembered being born then I asked him if he remembered what happened before he was born. Without missing a beat or any prompting from me other than the question he goes "I was in a helicopter that go round and round and round then BOOM into the ground!"
Well, this morning I was lying in bed, my almost 2 year old came up, put her face right up to mine and I though maybe she wanted a kiss. Then she said "mama, I want eat your eyes please".
My oldest daughter occasionally sleep walks. A few weeks ago she came out of her room and into the living room where me and the wife were watching tv. I asked her what was wrong and all she said was 'The rabbits won't stop screaming. '. Then she turned around and went back to her room. Kinda creeped me and the missus out a bit.
My daughter told me (at age 4 ish) that Santa makes toys by popping the eyeballs out of [unalive] people and chasing them around the floor until they turn into toys. Wtf.
How can BP have no problem with a gallery about super-scary things kids say and then censor an innocuous word like 'die'? That's like taking a rap song and bleeping out all the curse words until it sounds like R2D2 is on the mic.
A kid once sat near a camp fire and seemed to be lost in thoughts. I asked what he is thinking about. This 6 yr old said "I wish I was high up in space and the whole world was on fire. That would be beautiful."
Not my kid but nephew.
He went through this phase of being absolutely terrified of going to sleep in his room (I'm sure all kids go through this eventually). I babysat a couple of times during this phase - we basically had to sit beside his bed and help him fall asleep, and he'd usually wake up shortly after you left the room and start crying.
His reason?
"The big dark scary man standing in the corner with red eyes doesn't want me to sleep."
definitely take that child to therapy. something tells me that this could be... based off past experience.
When my son was about five he started having night terrors. Eyes wide open, he would stare into an abyss of his own devise and *scream* with the chilling ferocity of hell itself. I would hold him and rock his rigid little body until he loosened back to sweaty deep sleep. What I never told my husband or the pediatrician, or even my mother, was that I was *afraid of him* during those nighttime bouts of what looked and felt like nothing less than possession. I was afraid of my own sweet child and wanted to run away.
My 5 year old has had night terrors since he was 3 or 4 and I totally understand being terrified. It's incredibly unsettling watching your sweet baby stare into space and scream like they've seen the devil himself. It's exhausting and beyond scary.
About 3 am I wake to find my 6 year old son just standing next to my side of the bed staring at me motionless. It was a very tense moment up to the point I asked him very easily "you ok son??"
He then came back with "I cant sleep" but I still wonder how long he stood there before I woke....
Looked over to see what my five-year-old niece was drawing. I was almost too afraid to ask who it was. "A girl that cries" is all she told me. I didn't want to know if it was in our house.
The drawings creepy and all, but if you’ll notice she’s drawing with a fine point sharpie and she colored in the skirt Lolol I wonder how long it took
My 5yo told me a story that went something like this: He said that Georgey-Porgery doesn’t come around anymore. I asked who Georgey-Porgey was he said “Georgey-Porgey is the man who comes in here at night. He said it’s not good to bang on walls, if you bang on walls all the beetles will fall onto your face and in your eyes and your mouth. Georgey-porgy and doctor Mecha are [deceased]. When you’re [deceased] you’re not anywhere anymore, dr Mecha says it’s really important not to [pass away], so don’t [pass away] ok?”
My eldest was roughly three at the time. She was (and still is) into My Little Pony and as such had a bunch of tiny little ponies to play with. I can fit half a dozen or so in my hand. Anyway, she also had a kitchen she would like to play with. I walk up to her and she's got some of her ponies in a frying pan on the kitchen's stove top. I ask her what she's doing and she looks right at me and says "These ponies are bacon now." Oh boy.
My one year old will point to a spot on the ceiling, say awwww, make grabby hands towards it then begin tracking whatever it is she sees and blowing kisses at it. I'm pretty sure it's satan. Nothing good lives on the ceiling
Not my kid, but a neighbor. Maybe 7-8 years old.
"Hey Mr. Soomuchcoffee, whatcha doin!?"
"Bringing in groceries dude."
"Can I come inside your house?"
"Oh, nah buddy. I'm busy, and your mom would wonder where you went, I don't think she'd like that too much."
"You mean I really can't?"
"Yeah bud. Sorry. Maybe another time when you mom knows where you're at."
"I...I'm gonna use my gun and put a virus in your brain so that you [pass away]!"
"I uh....ya. Alrighty then. Welp, groceries bye bye now!"
I think the kid has been listening to too much Covid coverage on Fox “news “.
My daughter was about 8 when she asked "What's it called when your parents [pass way] and you go live with someone else,, who are the people?" I answer/asked "godparents?" To which she replied, "you and dad should get those". Huh? Am I [passing away]? Are you [passing away]? I'm confused and terrified!
My 4-year-old cousin said it was the girl sang to her at sleep I asked "what is about her neck?" She said "Oh she has a snake neck" I'm never sleeping again
If only there were an innocuous word in English that describes what happens to you at the end of your life. Oh wait, there already is. It's DIE. How on earth does this word need censoring?
A D V E R T I S E R S are to blame, complain to them!
Load More Replies...Boredpanda.com I am very offended by your use of "passed away". I find it just as terrifying and offensive as other three letter word for a state when body seizes to breath and all brain activity stops. For future please consider using "Liven't" while mentioning such state. Thank you.
And, with each stab, his grip on life faltered. He was liven't.

One night we were all in bed asleep, dad was at work, he woke me up telling me quietly about all the people downstairs who were there to kill us. I'm heavily pregnant and quickly trying to figure out how to get all 3 kids and myself out of the window 3 stories up when I noticed his glazed look and realised what was happening. Took a long time to talk him round and a phone call with his dad who also does it. I went and got all the kids and they slept with me that night. Honestly for a few minutes though my heart was i my mouth
My aunt always tells us about the time she had a fever and demanded her parents to get the colorful elephants out of the room, that they were annoying her
Load More Replies...Reincarnation makes no sense to me, I do not have any beliefs in it, when people make claims about it, I just cannot be bothered, so much information is picked up through or lives from TV, books, what have you. HOWEVER, having said that, when 2 or 3 year olds say things, so off hand, so matter of fact, and CORRECT, it makes me wonder.
Nathaniel, The idea of reincarnation has fascinated me for years. I was atheist for a long time and I’m Christian now. When I was atheist it made sense to me and even though I have a different creation myth belief, I still find reincarnation extremely plausible. I’ve studied a lot of psychology and other social sciences in my past, and there’s an idea related to Carl Jung‘s collective unconscious that makes sense to me. I believe, since energy cannot be created nor denied, that when we die, instead of our energy disappearing, it goes back out into the universe. It makes sense to me that these energy particles may contain remnants of our past emotions, thoughts, and feelings. So, if so if that energy ends up in another human being during embryonic development, then that child might remember some of those emotions, thoughts, and feelings, in their life. So, this thought is not exactly a standard your day and then reborn theory, more of a more spread out and energy diverse theory.

He asked him why he asked that cause he didn't really get what he meant. So, he said no one died of people we know but that people we don't know, die everyday unfortunately. When I came into the room, I grabbed my phone and I read a text message to my husband that a friend of ours just passed away that morning! Yeah, how did we process that....to this day, we don't have a clue why our son said that. Later that day, I asked my son why asked if someone died and he said exact words..." My brain tells me".
When my nephew was little I witnessed him ask his Mom, "Remember when I was your mother?" (Background: Our mother died before he was born).
When I was little I was scared of a giant green hand that I was convinced lived in my closet. No clue why but the night before we moved from Texas to Tennessee when I was like, idk 6 or 7, I had a dream that he would kill me if we drove to our new house. Luckily for me, something didn't work out with the deal and I had to stay with my grandparents an extra day then fly to Tennessee. All worked out lol
Does anyone know how sleepwalking and night terrors star. I have them all the time and would like to know.
Jumping on the refusal to use "die" bandwagon. It took away from the stories. I cannot imagine the reason, but fix it or change it back. People will go elsewhere. Trust me.
My daughter who is 6 was telling me just yesterday about her mother in heaven with hair like hers but curly. I tried asking her questions and she said mommy i can't answer questions im not even supposed to tell you any of this.
Okaaaay yeah, stopped reading partway through because the ridiculous over-censoring was so annoying.
The University of Virginia has been doing past life studies since the 70's. They have over 2400 case studies and have verified almost 75% of them as being true. Two other universities also have been doing studies one in Canada and another in the US. There stories are similar to the children who think they lived before. The study only uses children under the age of 8-9 because at that age, you lose most of your childhood memories. You can read their findings online and they are pretty amazing. Just look for University of Virginia, reincarnation. It will give you pause I guarantee.
the most interesting comments are from little kids who spontaneously remember past lives... do a google search for Marty Martin Past Lives for an interesting study on how a baptist kid from Oklahoma remembered being a Hollywood actor, dancer, and talent agent who lived in Beverly Hills & was rich... ponder why he didn't choose to live all that again in the present lifetime...
TL; DR: Wrong uncle. /// I was about 4-5 y.o. Mothers friend had two daughters, one my age and one about 2 years younger. The younger one sometimes talked about a uncle daniel, like how they went to a restaurant or something. One time uncle daniel was really there for a surprise visit and she was crying and hysterically said it's not him etc. I later learned he was living in a different country and it was the first time he visited, because her father (his brother) and him had a bad grudge. They never mentioned him before. Since then i asked myself, who was the uncle daniel she sometimes talked about?
If kids can read it, it needs to be censored. I don't have a better explanation, sorry guys.
I lived in Japan for a time and my sister here in the States had a child. I didn't get to meet her until she was 3 years old. My cousin Aslaug had passed away about 4 months prior to me visiting, and I was so sad as she was like a big sister to me. My family, being there with her, had seen it coming and to cope Aslaug found comfort in giving her favored personal items away, while she was alive to see them given. She was quite a silver-and-gemstone jewelry artist - just amazing things. About 3 months before my visit my sister had sent me a necklace Aslaug had made for my birthday. I wore it on my trip in, and had it on my neck when I came up the walk to my sister's house. My niece came bounding out to meet me. I picked her up and gave her a big hug. She said, "Oh good! I was so hoping you'd end up with that necklace!" My sister and i both stopped dead. My niece then babbled about who was I and got shy like kids do. It was weird.
My dad used to tell everyone he met his Uncle Amiel when he was on the way up and my dad was on the way down. Had never seen a picture of him but described him perfectly. Also did part of an accent that Uncle Amiel had that was super specific and he'd never heard from anyone else to be able to imitate.
My granddad passed away 8 years before my son was born. I've always felt my granddaddy watching over me and I find dimes all of the time (was a thing with him). We lived 3 hours from where my grandparents lived. I had a picture from WWII of my granddad in front of a plane in our living room. (He was an airplane mechanic in the Air Force.) When my son was 7, he started telling me that my granddad would come talk to him at night. He said he would touch his shoulders, etc. Then one day he tells me that Granddad wanted to meet Will at the park. I was internally freaking out. At the advice of a friend, I asked Will what he looked like to make sure it wasn't some dark presence or whatever. He replied "I don't know, Mom. I don't SEE him." Made me feel somewhat better but still.
I’m 16 and live with 3 ghost a little girl ,the unknown one up in the attic and I don’t know we’re the 3rd one is the girl likes to move things an hum at night the attic one likes to move manikins and the third one just watches me fortunately my father collects haunted artifacts so there are about 56 entity’s in my home (all mostly non violent) but we do have a portal mirror which you DO NOT TOUCH friend was in er for 3 days. And many more “things”
Oh wow, is your dad named John Zaffis? I love the show "Haunted Collector". I was/am a huge fan of the Warren's.
Load More Replies...reading so many of these accounts makes me want to believe that maybe we all get another chance after we die in this life. but in the heart of my heart i know there's nothing. i only wish there was something after this life though...
My theory is that we get as many chances as we want/need to be completely happy with ourselves. We will continue to be reincarnated if there are lessons that we need to master such as love, compassion and kindness to name a few. I believe that once we have learned all that we can and are happy, then we have the choice to reincarnate again or just stay in heaven or whatever one wants to call our final resting place. I do believe in Hell and I think those who are truly evil will relive their lives until they learn how to correct the bad/negative behaviors. I have a hard time believing that when we die, that is just the end.

HOWEVER, having said that, when 2 or 3 year olds say things, so off hand, so matter of fact, and CORRECT, it makes me wonder.
Nathaniel, The idea of reincarnation has fascinated me for years. I was atheist for a long time and I’m Christian now. When I was atheist it made sense to me and even though I have a different creation myth belief, I still find reincarnation extremely plausible. I’ve studied a lot of psychology and other social sciences in my past, and there’s an idea related to Carl Jung‘s collective unconscious that makes sense to me. I believe, since energy cannot be created nor denied, that when we die, instead of our energy disappearing, it goes back out into the universe. It makes sense to me that these energy particles may contain remnants of our past emotions, thoughts, and feelings. So, if so if that energy ends up in another human being during embryonic development, then that child might remember some of those emotions, thoughts, and feelings, in their life. So, this thought is not exactly a standard your day and then reborn theory, more of a more spread out and energy diverse theory.

He asked him why he asked that cause he didn't really get what he meant. So, he said no one died of people we know but that people we don't know, die everyday unfortunately. When I came into the room, I grabbed my phone and I read a text message to my husband that a friend of ours just passed away that morning! Yeah, how did we process that....to this day, we don't have a clue why our son said that. Later that day, I asked my son why asked if someone died and he said exact words..." My brain tells me".
When my nephew was little I witnessed him ask his Mom, "Remember when I was your mother?" (Background: Our mother died before he was born).
When I was little I was scared of a giant green hand that I was convinced lived in my closet. No clue why but the night before we moved from Texas to Tennessee when I was like, idk 6 or 7, I had a dream that he would kill me if we drove to our new house. Luckily for me, something didn't work out with the deal and I had to stay with my grandparents an extra day then fly to Tennessee. All worked out lol
Does anyone know how sleepwalking and night terrors star. I have them all the time and would like to know.
Jumping on the refusal to use "die" bandwagon. It took away from the stories. I cannot imagine the reason, but fix it or change it back. People will go elsewhere. Trust me.
My daughter who is 6 was telling me just yesterday about her mother in heaven with hair like hers but curly. I tried asking her questions and she said mommy i can't answer questions im not even supposed to tell you any of this.
Okaaaay yeah, stopped reading partway through because the ridiculous over-censoring was so annoying.
The University of Virginia has been doing past life studies since the 70's. They have over 2400 case studies and have verified almost 75% of them as being true. Two other universities also have been doing studies one in Canada and another in the US. There stories are similar to the children who think they lived before. The study only uses children under the age of 8-9 because at that age, you lose most of your childhood memories. You can read their findings online and they are pretty amazing. Just look for University of Virginia, reincarnation. It will give you pause I guarantee.
the most interesting comments are from little kids who spontaneously remember past lives... do a google search for Marty Martin Past Lives for an interesting study on how a baptist kid from Oklahoma remembered being a Hollywood actor, dancer, and talent agent who lived in Beverly Hills & was rich... ponder why he didn't choose to live all that again in the present lifetime...
TL; DR: Wrong uncle. /// I was about 4-5 y.o. Mothers friend had two daughters, one my age and one about 2 years younger. The younger one sometimes talked about a uncle daniel, like how they went to a restaurant or something. One time uncle daniel was really there for a surprise visit and she was crying and hysterically said it's not him etc. I later learned he was living in a different country and it was the first time he visited, because her father (his brother) and him had a bad grudge. They never mentioned him before. Since then i asked myself, who was the uncle daniel she sometimes talked about?
If kids can read it, it needs to be censored. I don't have a better explanation, sorry guys.
I lived in Japan for a time and my sister here in the States had a child. I didn't get to meet her until she was 3 years old. My cousin Aslaug had passed away about 4 months prior to me visiting, and I was so sad as she was like a big sister to me. My family, being there with her, had seen it coming and to cope Aslaug found comfort in giving her favored personal items away, while she was alive to see them given. She was quite a silver-and-gemstone jewelry artist - just amazing things. About 3 months before my visit my sister had sent me a necklace Aslaug had made for my birthday. I wore it on my trip in, and had it on my neck when I came up the walk to my sister's house. My niece came bounding out to meet me. I picked her up and gave her a big hug. She said, "Oh good! I was so hoping you'd end up with that necklace!" My sister and i both stopped dead. My niece then babbled about who was I and got shy like kids do. It was weird.
My dad used to tell everyone he met his Uncle Amiel when he was on the way up and my dad was on the way down. Had never seen a picture of him but described him perfectly. Also did part of an accent that Uncle Amiel had that was super specific and he'd never heard from anyone else to be able to imitate.
My granddad passed away 8 years before my son was born. I've always felt my granddaddy watching over me and I find dimes all of the time (was a thing with him). We lived 3 hours from where my grandparents lived. I had a picture from WWII of my granddad in front of a plane in our living room. (He was an airplane mechanic in the Air Force.) When my son was 7, he started telling me that my granddad would come talk to him at night. He said he would touch his shoulders, etc. Then one day he tells me that Granddad wanted to meet Will at the park. I was internally freaking out. At the advice of a friend, I asked Will what he looked like to make sure it wasn't some dark presence or whatever. He replied "I don't know, Mom. I don't SEE him." Made me feel somewhat better but still.

Load More Replies...reading so many of these accounts makes me want to believe that maybe we all get another chance after we die in this life. but in the heart of my heart i know there's nothing. i only wish there was something after this life though...
My theory is that we get as many chances as we want/need to be completely happy with ourselves. We will continue to be reincarnated if there are lessons that we need to master such as love, compassion and kindness to name a few. I believe that once we have learned all that we can and are happy, then we have the choice to reincarnate again or just stay in heaven or whatever one wants to call our final resting place. I do believe in Hell and I think those who are truly evil will relive their lives until they learn how to correct the bad/negative behaviors. I have a hard time believing that when we die, that is just the end.
