These Parents Have The Most Unnerving Kids
Kids say the darndest things. They also say—and sometimes do—the creepiest things. Take a peek at these supernatural tales from the crib... if you dare.
1. Blue Lady’s Hands
When my daughter was about three or four, she started talking about "the blue lady". My wife and I were taken aback, so I asked, "Who's the blue lady?" Her reply creeped me the heck out: "I don't know, but she wants her hands back".
This gave us chills like you would not believe. This went on for a few weeks. The story never changed and it was always the blue lady needs her hands.
We were seconds away from getting a priest or a witch in to bless the house. One morning, I'm watching television, and there is a woman in a blue US Post Office uniform saying "Thanks to this hand cream, I got my hands back!"
My daughter comes running into the room screaming: "That's the blue lady! I love her!"
2. No, We Most Definitely Do Not
When I was pregnant with my second child, we did the usual hemming and hawing about when to tell my son that he was going to get a new baby brother or sister. Finally, we sat him down to give him the news, not sure about how he would react. I never foresaw what came next.
The little guy stopped and grabbed my stomach intently. He thought for a moment and then said “and we don’t stab the baby with knives?” Correct, child, we do not.
3. Past Life
When my nephew was about three years old, I was showing him a Sonic the Hedgehog game. He suddenly said to me: "I've played that before, with my old Grandad". This was weird for two reasons. I knew he hadn’t played the game before, and because he had no “old Grandad”.
His mother pulled me to the side, and confessed that he consistently brought up his "old life". According to her, my nephew believes that he passed when he was 13 years old and that his previous family was very sad.
This family had lots of brothers and sisters, and they all lived in a flat with his old mommy and daddy who were very nice, but didn't have many teeth. He believes that he picked my brother and sister-in-law to be his new mommy and daddy.
He was very consistent and very persistent that his old mommy and daddy were good people. It was pretty weird. I’m not sure if he still talks about them now he's started school.
4. Only Near Cemeteries
When my daughter was young, we’d be riding in the car and she’d randomly say: “My sisters are here!” Then she’d animatedly whisper to the empty seat beside her.
She was very lighthearted about the whole thing. She spoke of "Ira" and other sisters whose names she didn’t know. She was always happy to see them. Being an only child, imaginary friends weren’t a concern to me. There was something else that was more worrisome. She only mentioned them when we were near cemeteries.
It was one of those creepy things you’d try to explain away. She’d say it, and I’d look around, relieved to see no headstones in sight, only to find a small family plot buried in the brush along the roadside a few moments later.
Once it happened on vacation. She said it at the base of a hill. No cemetary. However, as soon as we reached the top of the hill, I spotted a cemetery on the other side.
I have no clue why, and she never mentioned the cemeteries or ever acknowledged them.
It happened frequently, and I would just shrug it off. Eventually, when she got older, it stopped.
She’s a teen now and says when she thinks of it, it’s like a dark room full of different girls with the light only shining on the girl she knew as Ira in the forefront.
I googled the girl name Ira. It means “watchful” in Hebrew.
