You can't even begin to comprehend what true terror feels like until you've been woken up by your toddler standing over you, breathing heavily into the night.
We all know that kids are cute, but if we're honest with ourselves, we also know that there are times when they can be downright spooky. With that in mind, let's take a look at some more creepy things that kids have said to their parents.
"My three year old[sic] tells me about how she was a mom before she was my baby, but even more eerie, recently she told me there’s a big, black, shadow man that stands at the head of my bed and watches me and her baby sister sleep." - Twitter @Wishbone_Sloane
Hold on, just a second here. You can't drop an existential bomb like that and then just go back to playing with your bath toys! I need to know more — how did it happen the first time?
The little girl in the video is asked by her mother whether or not she remembers the day she was born. The little girl replies from the backseat, saying that she does remember the day that the earth opened and she subsequently crawled out of hell.
So did the babysitter hear two distinct voices? If so, I wouldn't have stuck around until you got home. Also, is there any chance that your Uber driver could've been a ghost? The whole thing just seems too surreal.
"My daughter, at 4, called me into her room at 1 AM and told me she couldn't sleep because she was worried about the boy in the corner. She pointed to the corner and said, "Look at his eyes, Mommy. I think he's really sick. Can you hear his mother crying?"
On the one hand, it's somewhat nice to think that deceased relatives have the power to visit us. On the other, why exactly is your father choosing to visit his grandson whom he has never met? I smell a possession story afoot!
The logical side of my brain of course has to reason that the child heard you or another relative talking about Grandma Sherry at one time or another. But the paranormal enthusiast in me thinks that you have a certified haunting.
The only thing creepier than little kids saying creepy things is little kids writing creepy things. There's something about their handwriting that just gives me the heebee-jeebees. If my niece ever did something like this to me, she'd never be invited back.
Once again, I'm torn. I want to believe that the spirits of the ones we love would be benevolent and never wish harm upon us. But I've just seen too many horror movies to know that simply isn't ever the case.
"When my daughter was 2 years old, I was teaching her to pronounce her name. So I asked her what is her name and she replied Annapurna which was[sic] name of my deceased grandmother. My daughter had not even heard about this name before ever." - Twitter @sameer_cb
Maybe he was commenting on the fact that you're a bad driver or possibly your daughter is a precog and you should heed her warning. That's such an ominous thing to say to someone, I'd never drive again.
I swear I just had an intense shudder overtake my entire body. Where do kids get this stuff from and why do they insist on torturing us with it?! What did we ever do to them?
There's nothing more foreboding and ominous than an old rickety set of swings. I also believe with all my being that the majority of wooded areas have ghosts wandering around in them.
This just reminds me of that scene from the 1950s version of A Christmas Carol where Scrooge is made to see all the spirits floating around him after his first interaction with Marley.
"Recovering preschool Director here. Once had a 4 yr old tell me that he was going to put me in a laundry bag and hang it in a tree and bees and hornets were gonna sting me to death. Said this as I was holding him by the wrist preventing him from stabbing me with scissors." - Twitter @play_charlotte
