12 Alarming Things Kids Said That Really Worried Adults

Today, we have 12 kids with some really strange stories. Some of them predicted when their moms would lose a baby, others remembered stuff from a different life, and a few even chatted with grandparents they’d never met. These stories are sure to make you raise an eyebrow or two and maybe even give you the creeps.

• “My son always says odd things. Usually, they’re funny, but this one threw me for a loop. He is 8. I was telling him how much I love him, and thanks for being in my life. He said: ’I didn’t choose this life. I couldn’t control how it began. But I can control how it ends.’” ravenlily / Reddit

• “When I was little, my grandfather, whom I called Pop Pop, always promised to take me fishing. Things always came up, or I wasn’t in town to go with him when he went, etc. He died when I was 7, and I never had a chance to go fishing. I had never gone fishing, and have not since he died either.
  Fast-forward 20 years, my wife and I have a 3-year-old daughter. I’ve never spoken to her about my Pop Pop, and I’ve never talked about him in front of her. I haven’t brought him up to anyone since before my daughter was born. One day, I’m off with my daughter, and she’s in her room. Suddenly, she comes running into the living room where I’m sitting, and says the following:
  Her: Daddy, we have to go fishing! (We don’t live near a lake or anything, so this was kinda weird for her to say in the first place.)
  Me: Why do we have to go fishing?
  Her: Because Pop Pop says you have to take me!
  Me: Wait, what? Who told you?
  Her: Pop pop says you need to take me to go fish.” chopsuey25 / Reddit

• “When my cousin was 2-years-old or so, her mom got pregnant again. One day she went to hug her mom’s belly and said, ’little brother sick.’ A few days later she had a miscarriage.” JuWhi / Reddit

• “My niece drew a picture ’of a man in her room’ that she kept telling her parents about. He had two different colored eyes, and one was gray. When asked why it was gray, she responded ’because he can see the storm coming.’” herobotic / Reddit

• “When my niece was around three or four years old, she told me she used to have a baby, but it drowned. The baby was called Peanut Butter, but still.” fox_ontherun / Reddit

• “When my son was small, I was talking to him about growing potatoes. I described how you bank up the earth around them as they grow, and he said ’I used to do that when I was an old man.’” cheeselet / Reddit

• “When my sister was around 3 we drove past an old tennis club, run down and no longer being used, ’When I was old I played tennis there.’” THESLAINE / Reddit

• “My friend’s 3-year-old told his mom that ’there would be lots of blood and mommy will cry’ about her first pregnancy after he was born, then she miscarried. The second time she got pregnant he always referred to her belly as ’them’ then one day early in her pregnancy she had bleeding and after that he referred to the belly as ’her’ she ended up having a girl, and they think it might’ve been twins, but one miscarried.” sheaness / Reddit

• “I was with my sister, her husband, and their two-year-old daughter. We were talking about loved ones that had recently passed (my father had died sometime recently). My brother-in-law went and grabbed a picture of his mother, who had died in a car crash when he was six, to show me. When my niece saw the picture though she started laughing. We asked her what was so funny, and she looked at us and said ’that’s my special friend who sings to me.’ I still shiver a bit just thinking about it.” KaiserXI / Reddit

• “Not my child, but a child I was working with in preschool, ’You have a baby inside you, but you won’t be a mommy.’ I found out I was pregnant that day and miscarried the next week.” Commandeurrr / Reddit

• “When our dog died, without us yet having properly attempted to explain the death, our then two-year-old said, ’All her thoughts left her body.’” therealquiz / Reddit

• “I had to share a room with my 4-year-old for a few weeks. ’Mummy when you were sleeping, I woke up and there was a ghost with no face standing over you touching your arm, it was taking your dreams out of your body with its mouth.’ Reminds me of the dementors from Harry Potter, but he’s never watched it.” Charella1216 / Reddit
