Some of us grew up with an imaginary friend or two. Other than Santa, Rudolph, and even the Grinch, some of the characters that our kids tell us about may not seem friendly or normal to the adult eyes (if you can see them, at all!). Here’s how the Twitterverse blew up with creepy things that people have heard young kids say. Warning: there’s a fair chance that you will get spooked.
1. The Little Boy

One of the ways that kids always scare us is by talking about the little girl or the little boy that we cannot see.
2. Past Lives
Image: Twitter
It is eerie to hear other people talk about their past lives. It is even scarier when little kids talk about how they died.
3. The Guy
Image: Twitter
Reminds you of The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia? If you haven’t watched it, grab some popcorn.
4. The Taxidermist
Image: Twitter
It’s strange how it is a trope in so many horror movies.
5. Not Real?

If those kids were pulling a prank, they are really good. Unless they weren’t.
6. When You Were My Daughter
Image: Twitter
Imagine your kid saying things about your past life that they couldn’t possibly have known.
7. Bath Buddy
Image: Twitter
Except maybe they make bath times spooky, not fun.
8. The Backwards Place
Image: Twitter
Who likes it when your four-year-old starts speaking like this?
9. Cannibal Alert
Image: Twitter
Like Willy Wonka said,“…but that is called cannibalism, my dear children, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies.”
10. Reincarnation?
Image: Twitter
There is little proof to solve this mystery. Maybe take her word for it.
11. Lady With The Bloody Face
Image: Twitter
That just sounds gory.
12. Prescient
Image: Twitter
Kids have a way of creeping us out with their clairvoyance.
13. Sacrifice
Image: Twitter
What do you call something that sounds the opposite of ‘Biblical’?
14. Prescient – Part 2
Image: Twitter
What will you do if your baby started predicting things, and they turn out to be true?
15. Memory
Image: Twitter
It is even mythical, to be able to recall things from when you were in the womb.
16. Babysitter’s Dilemma
Image: Twitter
A strange kid you are babysitting tells you something about your late father.
17. Company
Image: Twitter
Maybe he is afraid to sleep alone in a room.
18. Prophecy
Image: Twitter
Self-fulfilling prophecies are spooky, especially when it is coming from a small kid.
19. Ghost Mommy
Image: Twitter
That awkward moment when you find out that you are competing with a ghost for your toddler’s affection.
20. A Natural
Image: Twitter
Still, learning a language is one of the hardest tasks that we can undertake.
21. Ultra-knowledgable
Image: Twitter
Keep quiet and pretend that you didn’t hear anything weird.
22. Great Grandpa
Image: Twitter
Apparently, kids naturally bond with grandparents, even after their demise.
23. Who’s That Man?
Image: Twitter
Sometimes as parents, you might find yourself at the receiving end of some tough questions.
24. Empty Chair
Image: Twitter
A conversation such as this is bound to give you the creeps.
25. The Wine Cellar
Image: Twitter
That ought to scare you off from the job.
26. Dolls
Image: Twitter
We found the real-life Annabelle.
27. Desert Storm
Image: Twitter
It’s just too strange to be counted as a coincidence.
28. Shadow Man
Image: Twitter
Imagine a shadow man when our own shadows frighten us sometimes.
29. Poppa
Image: Twitter
Because children come from heaven.
30. Wait For “Them”
Image: Twitter
It would be rude not to wait, even if you can’t see them.
Children often take us by surprise by saying something strange or too profound for their age. Food for thought: because it is beyond our understanding doesn’t mean that these things don’t exist. How bad are you freaking out right now? Tell us about it!
