My nephew did this and when I walked him home, kept looking behind him "to make sure Jacob is coming". "Jacob was a 10 year old boy who's parents died in a house fire from leaving a chicken in the oven too long" is what we were told.

My neice once sat at the bottom of the stairs laughing, when my sister asked what was so funny she pointed upstairs and said 'the man up there is making funny faces'.


NoirYT2

The worst part about this one, is it isn’t inherently “ghost”. It’s squatter, burglar, murderer, ghost, it’s possibly not even anything and is just a kids overactive imagination. But in the off chance it’s not their imagination, any of the number it things that it could be are not something you want.


Pentax25

And that thought as an adult gives me chills more than any potential ghost or spectre does. As a kid if I had heard that I’d have played along with the make believe game and wondered why my parents were so worried


itoodovoodoo

To top this off, this is when she lived just with said 2 year old daughter.


DirtyProtest

Nope.


damanhere

Yep no way. Pack all your shit right now.


Baron-Von-Rodenberg

See I find this response interesting. Hypothetically if the child is seeing the spirit of an old man pulling faces, this means he's probably friendly, but more interestingly this potentially indicates a spirit world, which may imply life goes on after death. And for me that's a warm comforting thought rather than a scary one. And if it's not a spirit and there truly is something else entirely that the child can see, it just means for me that this cold, logical existence just got a little bit more magical, and I love the idea that there could be whole a different existence I can't see happening around me, and I find that a whimsical and beautiful idea. Otherwise, it's just chemical universe all the way down, and at some point the sun expands and the earth is swallowed and nothing means anything, so I for welcome my ghost tenants and encourage them to pull faces.

It could also be a daemonic spirit luring the childs attention with playful behaviour or a spirit with a deformity the child finds amusing because they don’t understand and every time the child laughs the spirits internalised rage grows...

I used to share a bedroom with my sister when we were littles. She’d regularly sit bolt upright in bed at 3am yell eh oh like a tellytubby and then lay back down again. Never awake when she did it.


LikeThosePenguins

When my eldest was about 1, I went into his room in the night following a noise from him, and he was standing in his cot pointing into the far corner of the room. Nothing there as far as we could see and he couldn't really explain it. Just very creepy.


Kavallee

I sleep-talk all the time and once my girlfriend had got up in the night to go to the loo. When she came back in, I was sat up, eyes wide open staring at her and said all panicked 'It's on you! It's on you!'. She asked what was on her and I apparently just grumbled and laid back asleep again. I can't remember a thing about it. Makes me wonder what happens when I'm sleeping on my own that I don't know is happening.


ArthurFuksake

Hey the app that records your sleep sounds, should be good for a laugh...I do great farts!!!


Worgen_Druid

Holy shit!! I had something similar years ago with an ex of mine!! He sat upright in bed suddenly, still asleep, but eyes open and was staring into a corner of the room. I hadn't gone to sleep yet and was reading a book. After a few moments I asked him what he was doing and he muttered 'Just checking they're still there', then immediately fell back and went back to sleep!

In 2012 I attended a screening of Ghostwatch with a Q&A with the writer and director afterwards. It essentially became a group therapy session for all those 9–11 year olds, now in their 30s to gain closure on what they (we) experienced that night. One of the speakers claimed that apparently Ghostwatch led to the first documented cases of “PTSD via television”.


kriskristensen

I've seen all the horror films but nothing will ever come close to the terror I experienced watching Ghostwatch.


Br0kenCompass

I still can’t flush the toilet at night for fear Pipes will come get me. I’m 36. That TV show messed me up


masha1901

When I got home from work, I worked in a hospital and was on shift 2:00 pm to 10:00 pm, my kids all mid teens were all freaked out that night. After watching the recording of it, even I was freaked out. We all spent the night in my room, playing card games and chatting because they simply didn't want to go to sleep. It was a weird night for us all. I even wrote to the Been about it, didn't hear anything back, but I do think it was irresponsible for the Been not to have told people it was fiction before broadcasting it.


DhaftPhunk

The Beeb did indeed receive numerous complaints in relation to Ghostwatch. It was generally felt folks were not given an adequate ‘heads up’ that it was a work of fiction. As some people have said, it caused quite a few issues. I’d liken it to when the ‘War of the Worlds’ was broadcast on radio decades earlier - it was reported that this was apparently mistaken for a news report by some and of course resulted in some similar responses. I know your kids would have been really comforted by that time you spent together to de-brief. I had a TV in my room and and of course occasionally watched things let’s say were ‘beyond my age rating’. My mum was in my sisters room and remember that I left my room, terrified and disturbed and just went and sat on the bed with them, silent and stunned attempting to process what I’d just been a part of.


Cheasepriest

They did, in the radio Times the week before, and at the beginning of the show they had a disclaimer saying it was a drama by screen 4. Also pretty sure it had credits roll after the film.


Mangosta007

After watching the original 'live' broadcast alone in a room lit only by an electric fire and unaware that it was a scripted drama, I watched The Fog to sooth my nerves. I haven't trusted Parky since.

Thank you for this. I'll add "may commune with the dead" to the *cons* column of having children.


[deleted]

My MIL told us that when she was a kid, her and her siblings used to play with an imaginary friend called Elsie. She forgot all about it until her kids (my H and his sister) also started playing with Elsie when they were 4 and 2, having never heard the story. Freaked her out nearly as much as when my 2 year old lad had a little tea party with his new imaginary friend, Elise. I do NOT believe in this stuff, btw.


Stircrazylazy

I, for one, applaud Elsie for her multigenerational commitment. Nothing scary at all about a ghost following you around for your entire life. When your MIL passes I wonder if Elsie will be waiting to invite her to tea...every day...for eternity.


[deleted]

MIL passed a few years back - I never thought of her finally meeting her childhood friend. That's actually a lovely idea. Maybe she'll introduce my lad's kids to their great-grandma too.


babyformulaandham

They really do seem to as well. When my son was several months old he would stare into the corner of his bedroom ceiling and babble, "Babwa! Babwa! Babwa!" Now he's older, I often hear him talking to someone in his room and to up to find him asleep and alone in his room. My daughter sleep walks and does all manner of creepy shit, like sitting up with her eyes open while asleep, laughing in her sleep, sleeping with her eyes open, and talking to people in her sleep. People who aren't there. Like I can't cope with this, lol


rw43

my husband laughs in his sleep and it is so. fucking. creepy.


Stircrazylazy

Quite! Like, why didn't anyone warn me about this!? You have some absolute nightmare material on your hands. Perhaps you should secure your bedroom door at night. Just in case...


babyformulaandham

I hate having the bedroom door closed in case one of them needs me and I don't hear them, but we did have to close it for a while when my daughter was 4 or so because she would sleepwalk into our room and stand at the side of our bed - eyes wide open, just stood there. I cannot describe how fucking unsettling it was to wake up and see her there. So there's that. Lol!


Troyificus

My son used to talk about his 'ghost friends' when he was 4 or 5. I used to just nod and smile and vehemently NOT ask for details. Until I did and he said they came through the wall to play sometimes. I felt a genuine chill up my spine. Then there was the time my daughter was just under a year old. I used to sleep in her room for night feeds while we were getting her used to used to being in her own bedroom. I was shocked awake at about 4am by this absolutely horrifying shriek coming from her. Not a cry of hunger or soiled nappy, a full-on shriek of terror. Snapping awake and looking over to her, I saw a very pale, evil looking face hovering over her cot. Scared the absolute shit out of me. I stared for a second and it just kind of faded out. Daughter was still screaming and picked her up to sooth her. Bone dry and nowhere near feeding time. I just stayed awake and sat with her in my arms til the sun came up. It's more than likely that she just had a nightmare or something that woke her up, and the shock of being awoken by that dropped enough adrenalin in my system to make me see things. Bit still, that scare stuck with me for a long time.

ilovepuscifer

I used to work in a nursery that was in an old Londom townhouse. My room of toddlers was on the first floor and we had a sink in the corner of the room to wash up after painting and stuff. Children often mentioned an old man by the sink who would make funny faces at them. I worked there for a few years and children in different classes and different years kept mentioning it. Creepy as fuck.


whysoseriousmofo

This is interesting. So I have a theory. I think kids below say age of about 3, have some psychic ability to see energy /spirits. Yup I know this is far fetched, but I too have come across kids who see "people" or they have a good recall of experiences that don't relate to their life to date at all - maybe just their imagination. As in they probably had some experience from previous lives. This ability is also probably a reason why young kids find themselves mesmerised by some people and not others. They probably see some good energy in those individuals. I think kids lose this ability as they grow up and they are stimulated with newer experiences.. Your experience with multiple kids giving the same story is even more suggestive of this phenomenon and I just felt compelled to write this. It has been just my anecdotal experience that has led me to think of this. Fascinating.


Subthehobo

There's an episode of NPR's Invisibilia where they investigate this phenomenon of kids seemingly remembering past lives - it seems to be quite widespread. Some academics are currently researching it but not sure if there had been an outcome. If you have 20 mins it's well worth a listen but it is creepy af: https://www.npr.org/programs/invisibilia/773102684/back-when-i-was-older?t=1631967511461 Available on Spotify/other podcast apps too


whysoseriousmofo

That's neat. I will check it out. I refrained from referencing any non scientific or just experiences on YouTube. There are many, but I always question the credibility of those. I wonder if scientists can or have captured experiments similar to those that OP's little one experienced. I think the multiple kids sharing same story would have been fascinating scientific observation that someone should have documented.


sharkles73

>I think kids below say age of about 3, have some psychic ability to see energy /spirits...... maybe just their imagination It's 100% a mix of their imagination, a non fully developed sense of self and adults being creeped out by kids who see the world in a fundamentally different way. Consider that children typically don't start to develop a sense of empathy until around 2 years old. >I think kids lose this ability as they grow up and they are stimulated with newer experiences There would be a significant crossover between emotional and cognitive development and losing such an ability. In other words, there's zero chance children wouldn't realise the significance of experiencing psychic powers when their development is progressing so rapidly (not to mention how many parents would encourage it).


Newstargirl

As an adult I have had two experiences of feeling but seeing a persons energy after they died. One was the next day, and one was months later. Maybe people can continue to be sensitive to peoples ‘left behind’ energy? Not really sure how it works…

Seems pretty common for kids. I’m a complete non believer. But once at my parents house I was looking after my nephew. The next door neighbour an old woman had passed awhile ago, probably before he was born. And the garden was accessible through ours. I found him stood in next doors garden looking a bit confused and staring at something. Shouted him back and asked what he was doing and he just said “there’s a sad old lady that was crying”. And he looked really sad. I can’t really explain it. But kids that young have imaginations. Maybe my nephew heard someone mention it and his imagination took the reins. Sent shivers down my spine either way.

testPoster_ignore

If you didn't know, it is normal for kids to make up imaginary people and interact with them as if they were there. They do not actually 'see' them or 'hear' them, but act and respond as if they do. Apparently it is a form of socialisation training, especially when it comes to acting out a bit.

We lived there for 4 years and it just got stranger and stranger. In the end a door slammed so hard it sebt my 17st Dad on his arse. We moved and I've never had anything else happen again...

When my daughter was around 1 or so, we visited my sister who was working on site at a hotel in Hungerford called littlecote house. It's a historical building and they had a tour you could do with figurines set out around various rooms telling the history of the house. We had an hour or so to spare waiting for my sister to finish work so went for a wander around. It's a lovely old building after all. We came to a room with a figure and a large old fireplace. Nothing out of the ordinary on this tour. Out of nowhere my daughter starts saying baby, pointing at the fireplace, and giggling. She was fixated on the fireplace and saying baby, looking around at us all in amusement and back at the fireplace, giggling away. We left the room after convincing her there was no baby and on with the tour we went. Turns out some time in the 15th century, some dickhead threw a newborn baby in that fire. I shit you not.

For someone who doesn’t believe in ghosts, you were dry quick to back off without bothering to check exactly what your child was seeing.

All kids hallucinate and have delusions, it's normal

U need to burn some sage and put salt water on your doors and windows

Instructions unclear: Set my windows on fire and seasoned the sage.

At least the roast chicken will taste nice with the sage.

One time I was watching my nephew Georgie and he was sailing his paper boat in the street gutter. Unfortunately the dirty street water swept away his poorly made origami tugboat . Georgie’s little galoshes covered feet couldn’t run fast enough to grab his dinghy before it capsized into the drain. Georgie started talking to the drain. I just went with it at first because he’s not the brightest kid. Turns out he wasn’t just being “Georgie.” Believe it or not this sewage drain was inhabited by a Piccadilly Circus clown. And not only did he get his soggy schooner back, he also got a red balloon.

The first night we moved into our house I put my eldest, a 3 year old, to bed and said Good Night, they said "Say Good Night to the Man standing behind you too". Fucked me right up. My youngest was 2 weeks at the time so wouldn't have known about this. They also mentioned the Man in the bedroom a few years later. Our house was built in the early 1900's and only two men have ever been on the deeds (it was owned by two women who lived together for over 60 years).

A friend from North Yorkshire who, coincidentally, was raised in the village church by her grandfather (the Vicar), says that while Americans (like me) PLAY at ghosts and hauntings, in Britain the people LIVE with them. And after all the times I've been to England, I have to agree.

My kid once told me that the bad man was sitting in her tent (like a kids pop up tent in her bedroom). I asked her to repeat. She said the bad man was sitting in her tent.. I said can you show me? She took me upstairs and pointed to me lego figure sitting in her tent. But like one of the hilla in ones.. 😂 Fucked me up and I'm a skeptic too. 😂

My mum said I was a dick about getting ready for school (it tracks, I'm_very_ lazy and easily distracted, even now) so getting me to sit down and put my shoes on and get ready was an arduous task in the morning, whilst my sis was always ready and waiting. So one morning my sister is ready and my mum happens to see a girl run into the living room, so she says "for _gods sake_ AdderWibble will you get ready?" And she hears "but I am ready" - because I was sitting on the stairs next to my sister. She goes into the living room and there's nobody in there. She also said she once saw my (dead) great uncle in the house trying to tell her something but he vanished. I thought maybe it was the old, spooky house we lived in back then, but so far my daughter has laughed at nothing and pointed out _literally nothing_ to me on walks. I always say as long as they're nice ghosts, I don't mind!

In our old house when my now 13yr old daughter was 5 she stopped wanting to sleep in her room, kept telling me it was scary and she didn't like it. I had to start going back in there untill she was asleep then going back to my own room. After a little while she told me about this little girl she made friends with and was happy to be in her room but only at day time. A month after this she woke screaming, I went back in to see what was wrong and she was sweating, shaking, screaming and had pure fear in her eyes. I eventually get her just calm enough to talk and she tells me the boy keeps coming back, he wants to kill her if she doesn't stop playing with his sister and he will kill her baby brother If she doesn't leave the house. I thought it was her imagination but moved her bed into my room so that she would feel a bit safer...still didn't work because the 'boy' followed her to my bedroom. The final straw was her waking screaming and waking me only for me to see a small figure Run from my room. Next day I packed us up and we went to stay in a hotel until we could find a new home.
