There was nobody there.
Shortly after, my mother began talking to very long dead relatives and friends.
She died the next day.

"I dont even care anymore, im tired"
i cried for a week, a 12 year old who has given up the will to fight for her life....
If you like to watch horror movies at least occasionally, it’s quite likely that you have seen a movie or several with children being creepy. We mean movies like Orphan, The Bad Seed, Insidious, or The Shining, whose scene with the creepy twins remains a pop culture staple decades after the film’s premiere.
But why are kids so compellingly creepy? They are our offspring; shouldn’t we be considering them cute? Here, this old joke fits: “A baby's laugh is one of the most beautiful things a person can hear. Unless it's 3 a.m., and you're home alone, and don't have any kids.”

Well, there are a few theories as to why scary children are such a good horror movie trope. For instance, typically, people have a presumption that kids are angelic creatures, and so when this view is shattered by an evil youngling, it becomes rather unsettling. Basically, something that should represent good becoming evil is a scary idea.
There’s also a fear of failed parenthood, which is especially strong in those who are already parents. When you have a child, you’re basically making a mini version of yourself, in a way, the embodiment of your immortality, so it’s natural to fear that they might turn out not to be such a good person in the end. And when the movies show you examples of it, this fear might be amplified, even if subconsciously.

And my baby frequently looks at blank space like he's babbling/smiling at someone.

The scariness of kids can also have to do with the fact that most of us don't have really concise memories of this period of life, as our brains are only developing at this time. This is what separates the adult world from the childhood one. That means that an adult simply cannot fully understand a child, and the unknown is one of the main sources of human fear.
The difference between adults' and children's brains not only provides good villains for horror movies, but also creates interesting life situations. For example, when a child says something so out of pocket that an adult is left speechless. And sometimes these things they say are rather creepy.

This boy, maybe 7 years old, walks right up to me and says my name, like he's surprised to see me. I just kind of look at him funny, and he says, "Oh, yeah...You wouldn't recognize me now." He ran off towards a wooded area, and I lost sight of him.
I have never seen this kid before in my life, and I was 35 at the time. This was a park a block away from my house. Nobody on our street has kids this age. Nobody I know has kids his age. I haven't seen this kid since. My daughter remembers this, so I wasn't imagining this event either.

In today’s list, you’ll find plenty of examples of such instances. All of them were shared by netizens in various online threads on social media, where they got quite a lot of attention, so we decided to share them with you too.
While some of these stories are a little creepy in an enjoyable way, like a kid telling stories about his family from a past life, others are actually disturbing. We’re going to leave you to check them out yourself, as we don’t want to be those jerks who spoil too many things for others.
So, make sure to upvote the stories that seem the most entertainingly eerie to you, and if you've experienced something similar, maybe consider sharing it in the comments!

She's now 18 and still has the same recurring dream about being zipped up in a body bag.
Edit to save time: i know for a fact she wasn't talking about a sleeping bag.

Got on the plane anyway. Here I am... dead.
Just kidding. But for real, she's 14 now and this still creeps me out. I asked her recently if she remembers saying it, she says no.
