Parents Are Sharing The Creepiest Things Their Kids Have Told Them

A woman named Melisa took to Twitter to share a particularly creepy moment that she had with her grandson. Her grandson, who was five years old at the time, asked her why the man in the hallway was watching them. She lived alone.

Well, that scared the absolute bejeebers out of her, so she had to see if any other parents or grandparents experienced similar moments with their kids. It turns out that kids being creepy is sort of a common occurrence. Read on to see some of the craziest replies Melisa got.

Hi Aunt Peg

Well, I would be absolutely terrified if my kid was able to see a dead relative before the rest of the family even knew that they were dead.

Do all kids have a sixth sense?

Speaking The Truth

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

How is it that this kid knows all the details of her mom's childhood? She must be a time traveler or something. That's the only explanation.

ADVERTISEMENT

Or she is her grandmother reincarnated.

ADVERTISEMENT

A Visit From A Ghost

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

I mean, it's entirely possible that this kid just heard other people talking about baby Lisa.

ADVERTISEMENT

But it's also possible that she is visited by her cousin's ghost on a regular basis.

ADVERTISEMENT

The Before World

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

There's a lot of talk about what happens after we die, but I feel like not enough people talk about where we were before we got here.

ADVERTISEMENT

This kid is making some sense.

ADVERTISEMENT

Saying Goodbye

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

This person swears that she heard her grandfather say goodbye to her before he passed even though his actual body was miles away.

ADVERTISEMENT

How does that make any sense at all?

ADVERTISEMENT

The Man In Uniform

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

Do you think there really are ghostly soldiers wandering around Gettysburg that only children can hear?

ADVERTISEMENT

Because that's definitely what's going on here. There's no other logical or reasonable explanation.

ADVERTISEMENT

Granddad's Rules

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

Even though this kid never met her grandfather, she still seems to know exactly what he would say in a given moment.

ADVERTISEMENT

I do believe that he's communicating with her in some way.

ADVERTISEMENT

A Premonition

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

How is it possible that this kid knew that his uncle was dead before anybody else knew?

ADVERTISEMENT

Do kids have a sense for death or was this kid just gifted with psychic abilities?

ADVERTISEMENT

I Was Alive Before

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

Okay, now I have chills all over my body.

ADVERTISEMENT

Do you believe in reincarnation? Because it seems like this kid used to be another kid who died after hitting her head on a rock at the beach.

ADVERTISEMENT

A Real Town

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

If your kid randomly told you that he lived a past life as a farmer in Wisconsin, would you believe him?

ADVERTISEMENT

Would you believe him if he named a very specific town?

ADVERTISEMENT

Talking To The Dead

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

From all of the posts we've read so far, it does seem like kids really can talk to the dead.

ADVERTISEMENT

Of course, this is all anecdotal evidence on Twitter so it may or may not be true...

ADVERTISEMENT

A Past Life Memory

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

Okay, this one sounds a little suspicious.

ADVERTISEMENT

I don't know if I entirely believe the person who made this post, although, is it any more unbelievable than everything else we've read so far?

ADVERTISEMENT

Grampy's Favorite

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

How could this kid possibly know that lemon meringue pie was his grandfather's favorite kind of pie unless the ghost of his grandfather told him?

ADVERTISEMENT

I feel like there's some kind of otherworldly communication going on here.

ADVERTISEMENT

A Ghostly Little Boy

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

Okay, this may be the most frightening one so far. This isn't a friendly family member who is looking out for their relatives from the great beyond.

ADVERTISEMENT

This is a literal ghost child.

ADVERTISEMENT

A Talk With Grandma

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

Either this kid has a very active imagination or he can talk to his dead grandmother because he's a kid.

ADVERTISEMENT

I'll let you choose what you want to believe on this one.

ADVERTISEMENT

Her Other Mother

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

Do you think this kid had a past life where she had another mother and another family?

ADVERTISEMENT

I mean, it isn't out of the realm of possibility. I wouldn't count it out.

ADVERTISEMENT

A Lifetime Ago

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

This kid said that he lived a whole life where he was a man named Gerald who had a brother named Cole.

ADVERTISEMENT

This story seems way too elaborate for it not to be true.

ADVERTISEMENT

A Boy In A Past Life

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

There's something about a kid stating something that seems supernatural so matter of factly that just sends shivers down my spine.

ADVERTISEMENT

I wonder if she actually was a boy in a past life.

ADVERTISEMENT

The Smell Of Cigarettes

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

Sometimes you don't have to be a kid to experience these moments of connection with those who have passed.

ADVERTISEMENT

This person recalls smelling her grandmother's cigarettes while she was in her grandmother's special spot.

ADVERTISEMENT

Watching From Above

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

This little girl seems to have had a rich past life before she joined us earthside.

ADVERTISEMENT

I hope she did get to meet her brother. I feel like that would bring her parents a lot of comfort.

ADVERTISEMENT

To The Other Side

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

This is a terribly sad story, but it's nice to know that this kid found some sense of peace.

ADVERTISEMENT

He knew he just had to go somewhere else for a while.

ADVERTISEMENT

An Empty Bed

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

If this story doesn't make you believe in ghosts (or something resembling ghosts) I don't know what will.

ADVERTISEMENT

Maybe this kid is just really in touch with people from the past.

ADVERTISEMENT

An Imaginary Friend

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

What are the chances of this kid having an imaginary friend who has the same name as a person who died in his home?

ADVERTISEMENT

I guess Eddie is sort of a common name, but still...

ADVERTISEMENT

When I Lived Before

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

These are really strange words to hear coming out of the mouth of a four-year-old.

ADVERTISEMENT

What kind of four-year-old uses the phrase, "a lovely lady?" He seems wise beyond his years.

ADVERTISEMENT

A Special Cologne

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

There's something about a smell that can instantly take you back to a particular place in time.

ADVERTISEMENT

It seems like this baby is carrying on his grandfather's legacy in a very tangible way.

ADVERTISEMENT

A Friend Named Bump

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

First of all, Bump is a particularly creepy name. It reminds me of things that go bump in the night.

ADVERTISEMENT

Also, why does Bump watch people while they shower? That's not right.

ADVERTISEMENT

Joy In Her Voice

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

How do kids know when the adults around them are pregnant?

ADVERTISEMENT

It's almost like they have a sense for it because they were in the womb not that long ago.

ADVERTISEMENT

Was I Your Mom?

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

This is such a great way to think of a parent-child relationship. The love that you shared with your own parent doesn't really go anywhere when they die.

ADVERTISEMENT

It just gets carried forward.

ADVERTISEMENT

A Fire In The Barn

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

I think it's totally possible that this kid lived a whole other life where he was a farmer who saved his family from a barn fire.

ADVERTISEMENT

He broke his leg and died and then was reincarnated as a new child.

ADVERTISEMENT

Mr. Lee And Mr. Woo

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

I can't tell if this child just knows that Lee and Woo are common Chinese last names or if she is actually having conversations with ghosts in her closet.

ADVERTISEMENT

Both are equally plausible.

Is This Little Hannibal Talking?

We don't even want to know what prompted this kid to start talking about how people taste when you eat them, let alone the fact that their fear somehow makes them taste better.

ADVERTISEMENT

We don't blame this person for leaving the amusement park, because we would've left, too.

Poor Kitty Cat

It's creepy enough to hear a little kid talking about his pet's neck-snapping, but adding a smile to that?

ADVERTISEMENT

Yikes. Someone might want to warn the parents about the possibility that they're raising a little psychopath. If we were that neighbor, we'd stay far away.

Run, Mom, RUN!

Yeah, we're pretty sure that if our kid saw a man in the cemetery that we couldn't see, that we'd be taking off -- with or without the kid.

This just screams Sixth Sense.

What The What?

Maybe parenthood isn't so grand after all, especially when you have a kid/demon who claims they can smell your fear. That takes creepy to a whole new level.

ADVERTISEMENT

It sounds like it's time for this parent to call a priest and see if exorcisms are still offered.

ADVERTISEMENT

What's He Trying To Say?

This is straight up creepy -- why is a three-year-old worrying about his parents poisoning him?

ADVERTISEMENT

We're not sure whether it's eery more on the kid's part or the parent's part.

ADVERTISEMENT

Good To Know

We wonder how hard it was for this mom to refrain from saying, "Well if I do, you're going down with me."

ADVERTISEMENT

Okay, maybe that's not what a good parent says, but it'd be tempting after that creepy comment.

How About You Don't?

This one starts out so cute and ends in a manner that would give us nightmares.

ADVERTISEMENT

To make matters worse, this kid is straight up old enough to know that telling someone he's going to cut them into little pieces isn't right. That dad better lock the bedroom door at night.

ADVERTISEMENT

Uh, No, It Doesn't

You wouldn't think that you could leave a funeral director/mortician shaken up, but that's just what this four-year-old kid did.

ADVERTISEMENT

We're betting that every noise this guy hears will freak him out from now on

And that is how you prevent your grandma from taking what is likely a well-deserved nap -- insinuate that she's gonna die. We're betting this poor woman was so creeped out that she didn't even bother going to sleep that night, either.

ADVERTISEMENT

Aren't kids the best?

At Least Someone Is Reading To Her

All of the experts stress how important it is to read to kids, but we're pretty sure even they would draw the line at ghosts reading to kids.

Really, though, as creepy as this is, it's still kind of sweet in its own way. That must have been some book though!
