16 Creepy Kid Stories That Will Make Your Blood Freeze

Kids are known for their wild imagination, which means that they often create stories in their head that aren’t based in reality. They are also exceptional at lying, but not because they want to deceive others, but because they actually believe their made-up stories. They might also lie in order to see what will happen and how their parents and other adults will react. The results are sometimes terrifying.

• A kid I babysat once asked me to play in the basement and when we were down there playing he said “When they put you in a box and nobody can hear you. Nobody can hear you down here either.” Then he bit me. The Sassiest Semite / Twitter
• My 5-year-old son told me he was going to marry Juliana. I didn’t know anyone with that name.

One day I asked him: “Son, where does Juliana live?” and he answered that she had not been born yet. Lu Macedo / Facebook
• My 4-year-old son says all the time that he used to live in France. One day, we were watching TV, when a picture of the Louvre Museum appeared, which he doesn’t even know. And he said: “Look mom, it’s the Louvre, in France, I was there!” Daniela Gimenez / Facebook

• Every night until the age of 9, my daughter used to wake up, touch my arm and go back to bed. One day I asked her why. She said: “I want to make sure you’re alright. My first mommy died in a car accident”. Nita Wilkins / Facebook

• My mom asked my 3-year-old brother where he wanted to have his birthday party. He replied, “Nowhere, my party will be in heaven.” It was the most agonizing month of my mother’s life. My brother is now 22 years old. Who knows where he got that from. Leticia Imperador / Facebook

• My mother was pregnant, but no one knew it, not even her. So I went up to her and said, “Mom, it’s a boy!” She asked me if I was going crazy, but soon afterward she found out that she was indeed pregnant. Juliane Dal Col / Facebook

• One night my little sister woke up scared and went to my parents’ room to sleep with them. Before she went back to sleep, she used their bathroom, and when she came out she said “Why are there people in your bathroom mommy?” TheKrazyKrab23 / Reddit
• My 3-year-old son told his pediatrician that he was also a doctor, but that he took care of the elderly. He even asked me to confirm it, since according to him, I was there, next to him when he did it. Janete Prestes / Facebook
