Kids are creepy anyway. The most haunting of horror flicks always have scary children (The Exorcist, The Omen, and oh lordy, The Shining). And let’s not even get started on abandoned dolls…
But the responses send in by parents to Reddit’s request for creepy things that their real-life kids have said really are terrifying. Here are just a few of the worst.
Unfortunatebirthmark: I was tucking in my two-year-old. He said “Good bye dad.” I said, “No, we say good night.” He said “I know. But this time it’s good bye.” Had to check on him a few times to make sure he was still there.
NotTomPettysGirl: Not to me, but to his grandmother. He was cuddling with her and being very sweet (he was about 3 at the time). He takes her face in his hands, and brings his face close to hers, then tells her that she’s very old, and will die soon. Then he makes a point of looking at the clock.
GatorMcGovern: A friend of mine’s child told him “Daddy, I love you so much that I want to cut your head off and carry it around so I can see your face whenever I want.”
Thingsimeantobe: My five-year-old at the time had night terrors and would scream in her sleep. One night I said ‘mama’s here it’s okay’. She looked right at me still asleep and screamed ‘mama? But who is that behind you?
jelb32: My five-year-old son asked me last week “what do you see through the black circles in my eyes when you’re controlling me when I’m at school?”
psalm_69: I was sound asleep, and at around 6am I was woken up by my 4-year-old daughter’s face inches from mine. She looked right into my eyes and whispered, “I want to peel all your skin off”.
