Small children are incredible people. They can say witty, philosophical, and even creepy things that lead us to believe they know more than adults.

Bright Side has collected some creepy and interesting children’s quotes posted by people from all over the world.

I was babysitting Lisa for over a year. Once, she said, “I knew you before I was Lisa.” brandnamenerd / reddit
“If Santa isn’t real then how do I even know that God exists?” ThePurpleJesus / reddit
My 3-year-old nephew was at my cottage. He’s asked me numerous times about the “girl over there” while pointing at one of the back bedrooms. I live alone so I just dismiss it as a really active imagination.

Then some friends are visiting and they have a daughter around the same age. Twice in one day, she asked about the “pretty girl” while pointing at the exact same room. Definitely caught me off guard and I didn’t know what to think.

Then at Christmas, my family was over at my place and my nephew points at a picture of my wife and asks if she’s coming to visit us here or does she just stay at the cottage. My wife died 10 years ago. infowin / reddit

“Is time real or just something we measure with a clock?” reddit
“When my son was about 4 years old, I heard him talking to himself in the bathroom and went to check on him. He was using a small piece of cardboard to push a spider in the direction of the bathtub, saying to the spider the entire time, “Excuse me, sir. Pardon me, sir, can I invite you to perhaps travel this way? Oh, no, not that way, sir. Over here, sir. Pardon me, sir, I don’t feel you’re listening.” chickaboomba / reddit

When my daughter was 3 I told her we were getting new neighbors with a 3 year old daughter. She said, “Oh I already know her, she used to come and play with me when I was a brand new baby. She only came for a little while because she was getting born”. When they met they acted like they knew each other. They are 3 months apart.

When my son was 18 months old, I asked him "Do you remember being in my tummy?" He goes "Yes". So I said, thinking no way, "What colour was it?" He replied "Red". I was blown away cos he was born end of August and I spent most of the summer in the garden, with tummy exposed to the sun. I asked him the same question when he was 4 and he said "No"

well, fun...well i dont about the fun part, but i remember things from my former life. always have been able to, started off when i was 2 or 3 and always talked about the war i had been in. often told yeah just imagination, but i still to this day remember exactly when i died in my former life and how. A bullet to the head, can even remember my spirit leaving the old body. and when i hear about it happening to others, like in movies or real life. i can feel the whole thing over again, its soo messed up. and even when i tried hypnoses and all that, they couldint find meaning in me knowing these things. i know ive lived before even know what i was called and where i lived before the ww2 where i died in last time.
