• (#10) Daughter Sees Little Girl in Empty Corner

  "A few years ago, I was putting my daughter to bed for the night. She was about three at the time, and she was fighting going to sleep. She asked me why she had to go to bed, and I said, "Because it is late and it's time for little girls to get a good night's rest."

  She then pointed at nothing across the room and said, "What about that little girl?"
• (#2) Kid Shows Babysitter How He Would Kill His Mommy

  "I babysat. When the parents went out, the little boy, who was around six, told me, "I'm going to kill mommy," and took me to the top of the stairs where he'd tie a string across the banisters at ankle level."
• (#9) Son Builds Train Sets with Imaginary Friend

  "My father died when I was about nine years old. Years later when I had a son, I named him after my father.

  When my son was three, he would build elaborate train sets out of the BRIO train set my father gave to me. I would hear him in his room talking like he was having a conversation, so one day I was in his room asking him about another elaborate train he had built and asked him how he figured it out on his own. He answered, "Oh, I am not alone. I am with my friend Mike (my dad's name and his name). He always helps and by the way, he says he loves you."

  I never knew what to say or do when he played with Mike. I guess I just have to believe it was what it was."
• (#11) Baby Brother Screams about the "Moon" in His Room

  "When [my baby brother] was about two, he would wake us all up screaming in the middle of the night, "Moon! Moon! Moon!" My parents and I would run frantically into his room to see him cowering in his bed, bawling and pointing to an empty corner.

  This went on for a while, but as he got older, he would make casual comments about wishing the moon would stay out of his room and other things like that.

  We still to this day have no idea what the "moon" was; I just know whatever he saw that we couldn't terrified him."
• (#1) Godson Puts out Serial Killer Vibes

  "He's not my kid, but my godson is extremely creepy. He likes to stand in his little sister's doorway while she naps and watches her sleep. I ask him why and he says, "It's the closest I can get to seeing her dead."

  He also likes to shove her fist in his mouth as far as it can go because he wants to "know what suffocating is like, just in case."

  I'm pretty sure he'd be a serial killer if it wasn't for Mario Kart."
• (#17) Daughter Warns Mother about the Dark Coming Inside

  "My daughter is generally laid back and not really afraid of anything. A few years ago, when she was two, we lived in an apartment with a big patio window.

  One night, she walked up to the glass door leading out to the patio and stared motionless into the night for several minutes. Shortly after, she runs into my arms saying, "Scary. Too scary." She wouldn't let me put her down and demanded that I hold her and rock her for the next half-hour.

  Eventually, she started repeating over and over, "The dark coming inside now. The dark coming inside now."
