48 Teachers Share The Creepiest Thing They Ever Heard From A Student

I work with kids with developmental disabilities and I had a student who was completely normal all year until one morning he walked into class, looked at me, and said, “You need to move your bed away from the window tonight.” I laughed and asked why. He said, “Because the man outside your house can reach you from there.” I had never told my students where I lived or what my bedroom looked like. I asked him what man he was talking about and he described my house, the color of my bedroom walls, and the exact window my bed was next to. Then he said, “He’s been watching you for three nights, but tonight he’s coming inside.” That night I slept at my sister’s house. The next morning I came home and the screen on my bedroom window had been cut open.

I worked with students who had emotional disabilities. This student was violent every single day. I eventually started dreaming that he was crawling out of my bedroom mirror at night to come sit on my chest. One day at school he looked at me and said “you snore funny when you sleep”.

Not me but a coworker. A 1st grader gave her a hug and said you have a baby in your tummy. She laughed and said not I just love pizza! The girl said no, There's a baby girl in your tummy. She was freaked out because she was only 4 days late for her period. She waited a few days and tested and she was pregnant! She ended up having a girl after 2 boys. When we told the mom a year later she said the girl has identified 4 pregnant ladies before the mom even knew.

My cousin got a book from the library called "how to be an angel" and the teacher asked why she got that one. She said "because im gonna be one soon." A week later she [passed away] in a car accident. They buried her with the book.

One of my boys said he hung out with his grandad over the weekend and was real excited to tell me all about it. I brought it up to his mom, yk because it was absolutely adorable right? So I give her the spark notes of what was said, that lady looked me in my face and said his grandad passed away when he was 1. She and I were literally staring at each other.

My first grader drew a picture of me and what I thought was my shadow, I said that's awesome and you even added a shadow! she said, no, that's the person that's always walking behind you but no one else can see.

In 2017 one of my 6th grade students told me that Mrs Stockdale was proud of me. Mrs Stockdale was my 6th grade teacher that inspired me to become a teacher and passed away in 1994.

I don’t think it’s too creepy, but I teach high school. I hadn’t told any one that my grandmother had just passed. It was independent work time and I asked a student if they needed help, the student said no but still looked troubled. The student then asked if I believed in spiritual stuff, I said yes, then they said “well if you know an older lady with short hair and always wears capris, they’re always around you now”. I had to excuse myself to cry. I think about it often.

I had a three year old tell me he ate his brother and his brother tells him things. When i spoke to the mom she said he was a twin and he absorbed his twin but she never told him that he had a twin.

I taught 2nd grade. One morning a very quiet student came in looking upset. During drawing time he drew a picture of our classroom, except there was a tall man standing next to my desk. I asked who it was and he said, “The man who watches you after school.” I laughed and asked what he meant. He looked confused and said, “You know… the man in the gray suit. He’s always here when everyone leaves.” The weird part was that I stayed late almost every day grading papers, alone. A few weeks later I found an old yearbook from the 1970s in a storage closet. While flipping through it, I froze. One of the staff photos showed a teacher wearing the exact gray suit the student had drawn. Same hairstyle. Same face. I asked the principal about him. She went pale and said, “He used to teach here. He died in the building after a heart attack.” I never told the student any of that. The next day he looked at me and said, “The man says thank you for remembering him.”

I work with children with special needs and some have behavioral issues. I didn't let a kid eat a whole medium pizza because others had to eat too and she said she hoped I [passed away] the way my friend did. I had a friend unalive herself and never told any child about that but she handed me a jump rope later that day and laughed. I cried after work.

When the door to our classroom opened by itself, I checked the hall and no one was there. I said, “That’s weird.” A student replied, “Oh, that was just my sister.” His sister had been deceased for 6 years.

I work with 3 year olds. It was a child’s first day (in the room next to me), he somehow got into my room and came and looked at me w ZERO light behind his eyes. And said ‘he will follow you, don’t go home’ then walked away and was full of life again. When I was driving home, I noticed a car following close behind copying my turns, I remembered what the boy said and listened. He followed me until I pulled into the police parking lot.

When I taught at a preschool, one of the little girls pointed over to the classroom while we were eating lunch and could not stop hysterically laughing. When I asked her what was so funny she said “Jerry is so funny” … Jerry was my dad’s name and he had passed away a few years prior and LOVED making kids laugh.

One of my students came up to me when she was 4 and told me her Mom had lost her 5 pregnancy, but it was OK, because she would be seeing them in a week. She [passed away] the following week in a car accident...

I had a student who said he could see and talk to deceased people. My best friend [passed away] a year before and my kids didn't know. One day we were talking and he said "Daniel is standing next to you right now, he's really sorry that he's gone but he's so proud of you."

I have a student that brings his imaginary friend to school with him. he told me and my co teacher that his friend does not like another child in class. an hour goes by and the child starts screaming saying he was bit was in a center by himself. when we checked his arm it looked like it was the bite mark from an adult. we watched the cameras and there was nothing just him sitting alone before he screamed. the little boy said i told you my friend didn't like him. my co teacher quit on the spot.

I had a student’s mom tell me “don’t freak out, but your mom says she made it safely and Claude and Sheba were waiting for her.” My mom had passed a month earlier. Claude was her husband who passed 17 years prior and Sheba was her favorite dog that had passed 25 years earlier!

I had a second grader tell me that she was sliding down a slide from heaven to be born to her aunt, but she got pulled back up and was later born to her mother. I found out that her aunt had an abortion.

Not me, but my mom told me about a kindergarten student that she had that was acting off one day. Usually this kid was happy and the classroom helper, but on this day she was very sad and not wanting to do anything. When my mom asked her about it, she simply said “I just think something bad is going to happen tomorrow.” Next day was 9/11/2001.
