It’s a fact of life…and whether parents want to admit it or not, it’s been proven beyond a reasonable doubt at this point…
Kids are creepy.
In fact, sometimes they can even be called terrifying.
They say scary things that defy logic and make the most hardened parents sleep with one eye open…
Parents went on the record on Twitter and shared the creepy things their kids have said that gave them the willies.
Let’s take a look…
1. Recurring nightmares.
The scary man…
Our oldest would have recurring nightmares about a scary man with one night that comes in her room. We had her draw a picture to see if that would help her get over it. When we looked at the picture, my wife and I seriously considered selling the house and moving that week.

2. Picture that.
NO THANK YOU.
When my son was 3 he had an imaginary friend called Mr Nobody who had chicken skin for hair ?

3. That would be a good horror movie.
Or even a whole horror franchise!
When my daughter was 3 or 4 she had a group of imaginary children. I thought it was quite amusing. One day she said, “Do you know what my children call me?……They call me The Cloth Keeper” I have no idea what that meant but I no longer found it amusing ?

4. Whoa! Scary…
Let that one sink in…
My oldest son at 3 told us a man with bleeding eyes was trying to put blood in his mouth, that he came from the tree out front, at our old house.

6. It follows.
Okay, that’s pretty scary.
My youngest when 2 talking about man in our house and pointing to him for days. Did cleansing because – terrified. Driving out of garage. The man’s here mummy. You said he was gone now. Yes from home. But he’s sitting next to me in the car. Stop car, everyone out!

7. The dark lady in the garden.
Time to call an exorcist.
My middle child when he was about 2 would say I’m not his mum, his mum was the dark lady in the garden. He’d also ask to go to his proper home. Now he’s older he had a fear of being lost and of forgetting what it’s like to be him, as if that’s what happened before!?

8. Always together.
Do you believe in reincarnation?
When my kid was 3 he told me I had always been his mummy , but the time before he was a girl and I looked different, “but mummy I was me , and you were you , we have always been together “ ??

9. I guess we’re all dead…
That is frightening…
My youngest told me once she can tell how long people have been dead by looking at them.

10. I see her.
She’s with us.
My nephew (4 at the time) asked my sister whether or not his great-grandmother was dead.
When my sister replied “yes, she is in Heaven”, he corrected her, saying “No, she’s not. I see her.”— Geraldine? (@ger_carey7) March 1, 2020
11. Ghosts everywhere.
Put the house on the market. NOW.
My 3 year old had a meltdown about ghosts so I was trying to assure her there were no ghosts in our house. We’re the second family in this house and no one died in it far as we know. I say there’s no ghosts, she says “ghost right there” and points to my empty hallway. ??☠️nuke

12. Man in a box.
This is scary.
My Gran took me to a relative’s house in Canada. I was 5.
Me: I’ve always liked going to this house
Gran: You’ve never been to this house
Me: (Pointing) There was a man in a box under that window.
-Gran’s BIL was laid out before his burial under that window 10 years earlier.— Lisa B. (@politeracy) March 1, 2020
