Spooked parents reveal the creepiest things their children have said to them

Children often come out with questions or phrases that leave parents scratching their heads and wondering where they learned them.

Whether it be talking about their ‘past lives’ or monsters that are hiding in their family home, it’s enough to creep out any adult.

Taking to Reddit one father detailed the time his son thought they had died in an epic tragedy.

‘Picked him up from daycare when he was three. Driving home, totally quiet, him just staring out the window… he randomly asks “Hey dad, remember that time we died in a fire?”.’

The terrifying tale stunned the dad in question and he wasn’t sure what to respond.

A similar creepy encounter happened with a father of a three-year-old little girl.

‘My daughter was going through the monsters under her bed phase. It lasted for weeks, and it was really wearing on her mum and I,’ he said.

‘One night after mum tried to put her to bed, she tagged me in. After 30 minutes, I grew pretty frustrated. In a last ditch attempt, I promised my daughter that there weren’t any monster under her bed. She replied, “I know. Now they’re behind you.”

What are other examples of children being creepy?

* ‘A few weeks ago I was getting breakfast ready for my three-year-old when he nonchalantly told me his grandma fell down the stairs. About an hour later grandpa calls us to tell us grandma had fallen down the stairs.’

* ‘My oldest kept talking in his bed past bedtime. When we asked him who he was talking to he said he was talking to the floating white lady. I don’t remember the description he gave us, but what I DO remember is kid number doing the same routine eight years later.’

* ‘My first son had trouble with words like “night” or “tomorrow” so he would ask questions like, “What are we going to do after the darkness?”

* ‘When my daughter was little she was crying and I went to check on her. She said she couldn’t get the picture to go away. I said what picture? She pointed to an empty spot on the rug. I asked her what it was a picture of. She said it was my car on fire. I was leaving for a long road trip a couple days later. I never drove so carefully in my life.’

‘After that, I let her sleep with us for a week.’

One of the responses from a parent came in the form of ‘three year olds can see all 11 dimensions’.

Other examples of strangeness came in the form of dark and twisted reactions to seemingly innocent events.

‘My niece recently saw the Lion King for the first time and said her favourite part is “where the dad got dead”. She was three. That was lovely,’ one woman said.

Another said: ‘Once when my toddler was hugging me he quietly said “I won’t eat your bones.”‘

The stories come just a few months after TV personality David Campbell’s four-year-old son Billy claimed to be Princess Diana reincarnated.

David went public with his family theory in Stellar magazine, explaining that Billy first identified as Diana when he was two years old.

The little boy had apparently pointed at a photograph of Diana and said: ‘Then one day the sirens came and I wasn’t a princess anymore’.

Speaking out: David first found Billy’s remarks humorous, he told Stellar, until the child started making eerily accurate comments about the late Princess and her life

David first found Billy’s remarks humorous, he wrote in his column, until he started making eerily accurate comments about the late Princess and her life.

‘It started when someone gave my wife Lisa a card with Lady Di on it. Billy [aged two at this time] pointed and said, “Look! It’s me when I was a princess,”‘ he said.

Several months later, Billy (then aged three) kept insisting that he was Diana, and even mentioned the ‘sons’ he had ‘as a princess’.

Shortly after this, the couple were left speechless when Billy accurately described the Royal family’s Balmoral residence to their Scottish friends who were visiting.

After Billy turned four, and was still insisting he was ‘once a princess’, the couple started to question him further about his ‘previous life’.

When asked, ‘Who else was in your family when you were a princess?’, Billy replied: ‘I have brothers and sisters. I have a brother called John.’

The parents then ‘turned pale’ after a Google search revealed that Diana had a brother called John, who died as a child in 1960, a year before she was born.

Princess Diana, who was married to Prince Charles between 1981 and 1996, died aged 36 in a car accident in Paris on August 31, 1997.

The incident, which took place in the Pont de l’Alma road tunnel, also resulted in the deaths of Diana’s boyfriend Dodi Fayed and their driver Henri Paul.
