"My little cousin once said he has a friend named “mr. bones” who lives in the closet… like bro that’s terrifying"
"“Go back to sleep, there isn’t anything under your bed”.
“Hes behind you now”.
Still haven’t gotten over that one and shiver at the memory."
"My son tells me stories of “scary uncle Michael” in his bedroom at night. He says he’s a grey man that looks like his uncle and he climbs on walls and calls out to him and one night he tried to eat him.
Yep, nightmare fuel"
"“I used to be a policeman, but then I died. I was trying to stop a burglary and the burglars were really rough with me. They were really rough with me, and then I died.”
This was a four-year-old I used to babysit."
"Niece, aged around 6, told me that her creepily named dolls were made of blood and bones and mud but watch out! Don’t let them touch you! Because they’ll turn you into a doll! I turn away from the dolls and she says to something behind me, “No Ethel, I told you, do not touch her!”"
"While changing my daughter in front of the open closet door. She kept looking around me and laughing. I asked her what was so funny. She said, “the man.” To which I replied, “what man?” She then pointed at the closet and said, “the man with the snake neck.” I turn around and nothing was there. I’m afraid to look into the history of my house to see if anyone hung themselves in the closet. At least she wasn’t scared."
"My daughter (at the time around 3) was in bed. She giggled, then asked if I had tickled her feet.
No. No I hadn’t."
"My 3-year-old daughter stood next to her newborn brother and looked at him for awhile then turned and looked at me and said, “Daddy its a monster..we should bury it.”"
"My four-year-old daughter says that before she was born she was a ghost, and when she was a ghost she would spy on us because she couldn’t wait to be alive and living with us."
"Once my son looked at me and said “oh you’re having a baby!” I had just found out I was expecting and hadn’t told anyone. I asked him why he said that, and he just shrugged and said “just a feeling”.
I miscarried less than a week later and he looked at me randomly and said “oh, no more baby”.
The pregnancy, miscarriage etc had never been discussed around or to him. It was so strange."
"My friend’s daughter (age 6) said to her little brother (4) “I want to peel your face like an orange…”"
"My niece was talking to her imaginary friends in the back of the car. She said it was a boy and girl about her age and they were brother and sister. Then as we came near the end of a road she said this is thier home, can we drop them off here? Myself and my sister were laughing about it until we reached the end of the road and it was a cemetery. She gave a little wave and said goodbye as we passed."
"My nephew told me the basement people want my skin."
"“I’m not scared of the thing under my bed. The thing under the bed is my friend.”
On further questioning, the thing under his bed was our border collie, who sometimes naps there."
"When my niece was about 3 she told her mum that she liked her much better than her other mummy because her other mummy was mean… “and one day she held my head under the water for too long…”"
"“I’m starting to forget the names of the people who live in my head”
No context. Right in the middle of clean-up time."
