Children’s television channel CBeebies asked parents to share spooky conversations with their young children – and thousands offered up their chilling encounters
Facebook user Megan Smyth shared a particularly creepy encounter with a baby monitor.
The mother wrote how she’s heard crying on it and made her way upstairs. The crying turned to sobs, with the child saying ‘I want my daddy’. She explains: ‘Defo not my child! She was fast asleep! There were no other kids living near us so I don’t know what it picked up!!! Really spooked me.’
On Twitter, @Beckofdoom offered some ghostly insight from her then toddler. She wrote: ‘That there was a man hanging from our washing line, and when we went to look she said “It’s okay, he’s buried in the ground now” she was about two and a half’.
Another mother, Kayleigh Emerson, said her daughter’s terrifying observations had left her wondering whether past lives really did exist.
She said her daughter, then two, told her about being in a car accident. She wrote: ‘She stopped for a moment, staring into space and said: “Then a van came and gave me a bad headache and there was rain on my hands.” Then like a switch being flipped she was suddenly all bubbly again talking about snowmen.
She added: ‘I couldn’t get her to say anything more about the van. She said a few other similarly creepy things around that age – actually had me wondering if past lives could be real.’
