Kids say all kinds of things. Some of it is funny, other stuff is heartwarming, and sometimes, it’s absolutely terrifying.
As adults, we tend to only pay attention to the stimulation that’s right in front of us. We go to work, pay the bills, and try to keep our family afloat.
But children don’t need to worry about all that. They’re free to let their mind and senses wander to and from whatever it is that grabs their attention.
And sometimes, what grabs their attention may be bedded in the supernatural.
Whatever your stance is on religion, spirituality, the after-life, or ghosts, you have to admit that there are some things in this world that are simply unexplainable.
And when it is unexplainable, it can be very, very creepy.
So if you’re up for it, check out these chilling examples of kids saying some unexplainably spooky things.
1. Alice the baby doll.
Of all the names to give your doll as a two-year-old, Alice seems a bit strange. Is this evidence of the supernatural or simply a coincidence? You be the judge.
2. Uncle Jon.
Some people believe that spirits can more easily communicate with children. Maybe it’s because kids are quick to accept and slow to judge. Or maybe it’s just all in their imagination.
3. Where’s Shan?
It can be hard to know when your kid is just playing games or when there is something else going on. As a parent, you try not to stifle their creativity. But what do you do when your child may not actually be your child anymore?
4. Past-life drowning.
Kids come up with all sorts of excuses when they don’t want to do something. For this kid, bath-time was a constant issue. Either they’re just really creative or they actually feared for their past-life.
5. Little sailor boy
Can we really trust our memories? As a kid, they can be oddly vivid or hazy and uncertain. But sometimes you know for sure what you saw, even when it doesn’t make much sense…
6. He came back.
Some believe that a soul never dies, rather it’s recycled throughout all of humanity. When this little boy died, it seems that his soul may have been recycled into his new baby sister. Either that, or this little girl has one wild imagination.
7. Saved by granny.
It’s common to believe that when a loved one dies, they hang around with you somehow and protect you from harm. It’s seems as though this girl’s grandma did just that. Thanks granny, she owes you one.
8. Good dog.
Just like the girl’s granny before, this family’s dog decided to hang around and watch over the ones that he left behind. But he didn’t just stick with the immediate family, he found his way to the extended family too. Dog’s are so loyal that even after they die, they still find a way to serve their family.
9. His other family.
If you believe in reincarnation, then you believe that your soul has been born many times before. Which means that you’ve been born into many different families as well. This little boy claims to remember his last family and he seems to be quite fond of them as well.
10. A previous beheading.
What if you didn’t only remember your past life, but your past death as well? This little girl seems to think that she was killed in Paris at one time. Let’s just hope that she doesn’t remember the pain of getting her head chopped off.
11. Young/old ninja.
One good thing about remembering your past lives is that you get to have so many different experiences. For this young boy, he was lucky enough to be a martial arts master in his past life. Maybe he could use what he remembers in this life and become even more skilled.
12. Great granny sleep-watcher.
Sometimes it can feel comforting to think about your dead loved ones watching over you. But when you don’t know who they are, it can feel a little creepy. When this woman discovered that the lady watching her when she slept was actually her great great grandma, it made the situation feel a little safer.
13. Happy birthday, Auntie.
I wonder what it is that allows kids to accept things that don’t make sense. When this little girl received a visit from her aunt, she didn’t seem concerned about the fact that she had died many years before. She simply sang her a happy birthday song.
14. Old Fashioned Family.
It’s fun to make up games a kid. But do you ever wonder where the ideas for these games come from? Maybe it’s all imagination, or maybe it’s influenced by long-dead realtives.
15. War hero.
Maybe it’s only the people who die too soon that come back in another body for another chance at life. If that’s the case, then this Asian war hero got a second chance after dying in battle. Apparently he came back as Jenny’s little brother.
16. Shy ghost.
Maybe kids aren’t better at seeing and communicating with ghosts, it’s just that ghost only like to talk with kids. When this kid’s dad showed up, the apparent ghost decided to leave the little boy and the conversation they were having. It must have been adult-shy.
17. Lighthouse grandpa.
Sometimes you do things only based on feelings. As a little girl Sarah could feel that her grandpa liked lighthouses even though he never said that he did. But once he died, she discovered why she felt the way she did.
18. The ultimate sacrifice.
Your dog would do anything for you. And in Tasha’s case, he was willing to die so that she little sister could live. But of course he hung around to make sure that little girl was safe as well.
19. Uncle Lucas.
Babies have a way of knowing things. Some of these things are explainable while others are a complete mystery. How this little girl knew her godmother’s dead uncle from a picture is one of those unexplainable things.
20. Botswana fighter
Two-year-olds can say some pretty outrageous things. But when they are able to back up their claims with unexplainable knowledge, the outrageous becomes a bit more believable. This little boy may be telling the truth.
21. Childhood friend/son.
What if your kid knew you when you were a kid? That would be a pretty wild experience for both of you. But this little boy doesn’t think so. He’s just happy that he’s been with his mom for so long.
22. Death visit.
It’s no secret that we are all connected on this planet. It may not be in a capacity that we can understand, but when this little boy saw his grandpa the second that he died, he experienced that connection. If only we could find a way to harness it.
23. Car crash.
I hope that if I have lived many lives before this one, that I’ll never remember how I died. Especially if it was in a bad way. This little girl claims to remember the time she crashed her car on a bridge and died.
24. Nan’s nan.
If we do come back as other people when we die, maybe it’s common to stay in the family. That may have been the case for this little girl when she told her nan that she used to watch the same movie with her when she was little. Looks like she just skipped a few generations.
25. Naming relatives.
I can barely remember all the names of the people in my extended family, let alone the one’s who have already passed. But that was no problem for this little girl. Either she has a photographic memory or she was being told the names of her dead relatives by someone… or some thing.
26. A Christmas visit.
If there was ever a time for our dead loved ones to visit, it would be on special holidays. That’s apparently what happened for this little boy. If you’re missing someone, maybe keep an eye and ear out for them this coming holiday.
27. Babies and God.
Maybe one of the reasons that kids are usually the ones seeing or hearing ghosts is that they are so innocent still. As we get older, we start to do bad things and maybe that causes us to loose the ability to experience something as spiritual as an actual spirit.
28. Fun hats and shared birthdays.
It seems like coincidence has more meaning than just being a random chance thing. This little girl was born on the same day as her dead grandpa. She also just so happens to have an imaginary friend who dresses the same and has the same name.
29. Grandpa cheek-kisses.
Maybe if you die and don’t return as another person, you hang around with the ones that you left. For one little girl, she was lucky enough to receive cheek-kisses from her long-dead grandpa. Her mom used to receive them as well.
30. Buisness partner brothers
Dying doesn’t sound so bad if you are able to choose who you come back as. This little boy said he was able to choose his new mom when he died. I wonder who I’d choose.
31. Suprise roommate.
Would you believe your child if she told you that she saw someone living downstairs? Whether you did or not, it would still cause you to be a little unsettled. This mom wouldn’t even open the closet door for months.
32. Volcano death.
What’s worse than dying from a volcano eruption? Dying from a volcano eruption and still remembering it in your new life. This girl was so affected that she couldn’t even see a volcano on TV without freaking out.
33. Kids with past-lives.
What if you not only had one kid that remembered his past life, but two? It would make me wonder why I never remembered mine. I’d also ask lots of questions to learn more about who they were.
34. Grandma take-over.
Being possessed by someone or something sounds pretty scary. Of course if it is your dead grandma, it sounds a lot better. And in this case, the young boy who was “taken over” got to be fluent in Italian for about an hour.
35. Closet-family.
This little girl saw her dead relatives in the closet. Although this sounds scary, it’s better than seeing dead people who you don’t know in your closet. At least they’re probably friendly.
36. War child.
If you are able to remember your death, then it seems like the really intense ones would be the most memorable. For this little boy, his first words included war-related phrases that his parents never taught him. I hope he doesn’t remember much else.
37. Other family.
There seems to be a theme with young kids remembering their past lives. This little boy remembered his and would tell his grandpa about it. But at what age do you finally forget?
38. No pain for granny.
One good thing about being able to talk with dead people is getting to know that they are ok. When this man’s daughter let him know that his mom wasn’t in pain, it must have come as a relief. I wonder what else here grandma told her.
39. Titanic baby.
Drowning after the Titanic crashed would have been miserable. But so would coming back as a young boy and remembering that it happened. That’s a memory that I hope he grows out of.
40. Death premonition.
It’s hard enough to deal with the death of a loved-one. But what if you dreamt their death less than a year prior to it actually happening? Then you’d have to experience it twice.
41. Parent picker.
There have been many cases of kids telling their parents that they chose them. I certainly don’t remember choosing mine. But if I did, I supposed I’d be happy with my choice.
42. David Ruffin.
How would you feel if your kid told you that they used to be a dead singer who you hadn’t even heard of? It would be hard to refute since the kid shouldn’t know who they are either. I’d make him sing a song to prove it.
43. Birthmark gladiator.
If we do come back as other people when we die, do we bring a piece of them with us? This girl sure thinks so. With her birthmark and Latin skills, she’s convinced she used to be a gladiator.
44. Granddaddy playtime.
This kid claimed to spend time with his dead grandpa up until age 11. Most kids who report seeing their dead relatives only do so when they are very young. I’m not sure I’d want dead people to visit me when I was older.
45. Cigar savior
When I do die, I hope I can come back and help out my family like this guy’s grandpa. All he had to do was send a little cigar smoke his way when danger was near. It apparently kept him from getting in quite a few motorcycle accidents.
46. Sister sister.
Sometimes all it takes is some collaboration of your story to make it believable. For this girl, having an imaginary friend that her sister also had was enough to make heads turn. This friend may not be so imaginary after all.
47. Pictures of mom.
If the dead do actually communicate with us, they choose strange ways to do it. This woman’s dead mother scattered pictures of herself all over the floor to let her know that she was there with her and her grandchild. Nice one, mom.
48. Child arrest.
If we had the ability to tell when someone was doing something wrong, there’d be a lot less prisons in the world. This young boy apparently does have that ability. If only he could use his powers all the time.
49. Grandma’s song.
Music has a way of sticking with us. It’s not uncommon for us to remember the lyrics to a song we learned 10 or 20 years ago. But how about a song that your grandma wrote 20 years before you were born?
50. Night night papa.
It would be comforting to have your dead grandpa there with you before you went to sleep. This little girl sure thought so. And she even said goodnight to him.
51. Skype ghost.
There isn’t anything freakier than having someone tell you there is someone standing behind you. This is especially true when you’re alone in a hotel room and the person who tells you is your son and here’s on your computer screen. Good luck falling asleep.
52. Graveyard ghost.
It’s scary enough to have your kid tell you that they see someone who isn’t there. But it’s even worse when they see someone who isn’t there, you’re in a cemetery, and they are apparently coming towards you. I would leave immediately.
53. Monster scare.
Seeing mosters as a kid is a scary thing. But it is also scary for the adult. Especially when the kid tells you that you need to “get out, now.”
54. All-seeing child.
This is one of those, “be careful what you wish for” moments. We often wish we could know everything there is to know. But not everything is worth knowing…
55. Strange meeting.
Kids do say some weird stuff. And as a family friend, the last you want to hear is something negative from your friend’s kid. Let’s hope this kid’s premonition didn’t come true.
56. Nobody can hear you.
Some kids not only say scary things, but they do scary things too. If this kid just told his babysitter what he did, it would have been scary enough. But what he did after made it even worse.
57. Bathtub troubles.
Bathtime is supposed to be a relaxing time. But it wasn’t for one little girl. Apparently her invisible bath-buddy wouldn’t leave her alone.
58. You’re going to die.
Getting a new house should be an exciting thing. But it turned scary when this woman’s nephew told her she was going to die in her new house. I would consider selling if I were her.
59. Three lives at once.
It’s hard enough to live one life. But can you imagine living three? This kid was living as herself, another man and the man’s sister.
60. Dead grandmas in the attic.
It’s freaky enough to talk about leaving dead grandmas in an attic. But to laugh afterwards makes it even worse. I would probably go check that attic.
