50 Unnervingly Creepy Things Kids Have Done That Could Have Been In A Horror Movie

When I went to my chemo treatment a few days before Christmas, I (thankfully) missed the childrens group that was there singing carols. But they left cards for all us poor cancer f*****s.

Handwritten on the card I received was "We're praying for you!"

But they misspelled it "preying.".

My daughter has asked me twice how to take someone's bones out.

My mom was looking for a key to a foot locker that belonged to her mom after her dad passed away. One day, my sister (7) was talking to a painting that our mom's mom had painted. When she was done talking, my sister went to the China cabinet, removed some pieces, and handed Mom the key to the footlocker. She also spent a few months babbling in backwater Louisiana creole.

When my daughter was around 3, she told me she wanted to be a tooth fairy when she grew up so she could make dolls out of kids' teeth.

My sister is three years older than I am. When she was three, she woke my parents up with a blood curdling scream. Parents go running and ask her wtf? Shes flipping out about the hands that come through the window and tickle the bed. It eventually stops. Three years later, I'm here in the world now and three years old as well. My parents get woken up in the night to a blood curdling scream. They run to my sister. Shes all wtf. They go into my room and I'm suddenly freaking out about hands tickling the bed.

My 5 year old nephew said that the fall of Constantinople was the worst day of his life. That event happened on May 29, 1453... so I wonder if he had a past life...

Kid me was a racing fan. I loved watching Formula 1 races on TV and cheering for our national hero Ayrton Senna. I never missed a race. Except one. My father says that on the day of the accident in which Senna died, I didn't want to watch the race, I didn't even want to stay in the living room, I was in our backyard. Then the accident happened...

When one of my little brothers was about 4-5 (I'm much older than most of my siblings), he was playing in his room by himself, just sitting on the floor talking to himself. I stood in the hallway for a minute listening to him quietly chatter. After a while, his head jerked towards me and he became e n r a g e d, started screaming at me to get away from him, go away and close the door, almost panicking about it. In hindsight, he was probably embarrassed and startled to see me there, but it was still pretty creepy.

Another strong contender, I was babysitting three children under 6. The 2 year old and 4 year old were in bed, but the parents had told me their 5 year old could sleep on the couch until they got home to tuck him in, so I sat with him quietly messing around on my phone, when suddenly the kid sits straight up like a vampire, staring at me with pure terror in his eyes. He gets up and starts backing away, as if he's truly afraid of me. This family had a sliding glass door in their kitchen, and the little guy kept glancing back at it to the point where I was getting nervous looking past him and through the door, out into the yard. He was speaking incoherently like he couldn't really keep ahold of a train of thought, which was especially weird because these kids were pretty articulate. After awhile I coaxed him into using the bathroom and calmed him down, he fell asleep like nothing had even happened. Poor kid had chronic night terrors, and mom and dad had forgotten to tell me. 🙃.

My son had an imaginary friend, that luckily only was around for a few weeks. He would talk is if his friend was real, freaking me out it was so believable. I tried not to react to it, but he told me that his friend was very mad and has a knife to my throat. 12 years later, I'm still alive and he is a normal college kid.

When i was young like less than 4 y/o i woke up in the middle of the night and called my mother just to tell her ‘i see vampires’ and then started hissing at her - she still tells the story of how terrified she was.

Not creepy, really--but *funny*, was at my job at an after-school program.


I regularly joke around with my work kids (K-5th graders), once their grownups start arriving for pickup, and ask them, "Is that your mom/ dad/ aunt/ uncle, etc.


One day, a couple months after i was back at work from having taken five weeks of FMLA time for my Dad's hospice & death, I was sitting next to one of my K's, when another child's name was called for pickup.


So, as is part of my normal end of day silliness, I asked the little dude next to me, "Is that *your* dad?


The little guy looked over to the door, and said, "Nope!" 


So I asked, "Is that *my* dad?" 


And that's when he looked at me, like I was the *dumbest* adult on the face of the planet, and *completely straight-faced*, said, "Your Dad's dead!" 


And I *lost* it, giggling, and said, "You know, bud you're right, my dad *is* dead!"




Dad would have *cackled* at the way that little guy delivered that line!


And, since the goofy questions was something I *learned* from him and my uncles asking my cousins and I nonsense questions as a child, it seemed pretty fitting that the little guy's delivery was *so* impeccable!😉.

About a year ago I was in Florida visiting extended family. I hadn't seen any of them in over a year and my 2-year-old cousin (R) said "Can I come to your house?" I responded "Maybe someday, wouldn't that be fun?" R said "Yes, the (my exact house color) house with 18 windows on the front and a dog-wood tree! Oh and also your new pink room I wanna see it." While it is possible he had seen a picture of my house I had painted my room pink about a week before we had left and had been waiting to tell the family as a surprise sort of thing. I asked his Mom later and she was perplexed, having no idea how he knew that stuff. It still kind of scares me.

I remember when I was a kid I called my mom "sexy mama" after hearing it on a tv show (I want to say Johnny Bravo?) and she had to explain why it was inappropriate. I still cringe thinking about it, even though it was obviously innocent.

When my brother was a kid, he was talking and laughing in his room alone. My mom went in and asked him who he was talking to. My brother said he was talking to his friend Kevin. My mom, already creeped out, asked who Kevin was. My brother said, “He’s my friend, but he already went home. He lives in the walls.” My brother is in his thirties now, but my mom is still creeped out and mad about Kevin hahaha.

„Luna is going to die next week“, said the little sister of a boy I was tutoring. She said this in a really sad tone. I was freaking out inside, wondering if she has a sick friend I don’t know about or something (and wondering why the parents didn’t warn me). Turns out what she meant was that her favourite tv show, Soy Luna, was going to be taken off Netflix (it’s a Disney show and this was shortly before Disney+ started, so all of the Disney stuff was disappearing from Netflix).

My nephew told my mom, dad and I that he could see people in a field, from a plane crash. We did live in a neighborhood that was built on old farmland decades ago. Maybe something happened before the neighborhood was built. 🤔 All of us fully believed him btw.

As I am reading this, my 10 year old son just walked in the room and told me the dog is trying to hide a dead body in the backyard.

So, my little sister was maybe 3 at the time.

We were in the car waiting for mum to get out of work.

She turns to dad and says, straight as can be 'before I lived with you I lived in Chicago and rooted for the White Sox.'

My family has lived in Boston for generations.

Girl why would you say that.

I used to be a preschool teacher. Many years ago I had a strange boy in my class we’ll call Ben. He was always saying weird, random stuff but this one sticks out. I noticed him standing in front of the glass door, smiling and moving around, watching his reflection when he smiles again and says “Other Ben! Come out and play!” I think about that kid a lot. I’m sure he grew up to be a creative of some sort. He always seemed to be operating on a whole other plane!

My neice told me she wanted to take my insides and put them through a cheese grader . I had a talk with her mom after that one. She's 5.
