Tell Us Your Kids’ Creepy Ghost Stories
One day, when my son was about 4 or 5 years old, I told him how proud I was of him for something and how lucky I was to be his mother.
“This is because I chose you,” he said. “I thought of all the mummies in the world and then I thought of you and chose you.”
Which, of course, means that he was either looking for a sweet thing to say to me in return, or was giving me an idea of how things worked in the afterlife.
Children have a habitual way of talking about people (or with them ) that we do not see, and recalling experiences that they could not have. Do they display their wonderful imaginations? Or is it … more ?
Either way, their stories are fascinating, and this is probably why the tweet, which began with a simple story “My child just said the strangest thing,” quickly turned into a string of parenting stories of ghost sightings and stories of their children’s reincarnation.
Other Twitter users have shared their creepy stories, including:
- A four-year-old who told his mom that he used to sell newspapers in front of the Capitol building to save money for glasses.
- The little girl who recognized her father’s old school from the 1890s in her father’s new office building.
- Countless children who talked about conversations with grandparents, great-grandparents, whom they never met.
BuzzFeed has compiled 19 of the creepiest (or coolest, depending on your point of view) stories from the thread that are worth reading.
But we can’t get enough of them, so we want to hear stories of ghosts and reincarnation of your children. Share in the comments below!
