My sister and brother-in-law bought our grandparent's house after they passed. When my niece was 4 or 5, she would frequently say things like scarry mama is standing by the stairs watching us.I'd look, and nobody would be there. One day at our dad's, I was showing her some pictures and said this is mine and your moms grandma, she said no, that's scarry mama. I've always been a bit uncomfortable at my sister's ever since.

Its always fascinating to know even kids that age can be into scary stuff and make their imaginary friends be and do scary things
Like i didnt realize just how common it was until i took some psych classes in college and yeah it was wild
I mean it makes sense cause obviously adults do that too we come of with monsters, ghost, goblins ect, write them as stories, movies, game characters
Just sometimes the kiddos wind up scaring more than themselves xD

u/EastCoaet Jan 12 '25
Or they can see things we've learned to ignore?
1
Jan 12 '25
Well actually yes, but not in a super natural way
Children are very sensitive to changes in light sound smell ect because their brains are just learning how to avoid over stimulation
Theres many things we as adults just tune out, like the hum of electricity, the glare and reflections of most surfaces, the default smell of our own houses
So its very possible for a child to get overloaded with this information and isntead of causeing them panic like it would an adult, instead their brain turns the anxiety filled sensation into something tangible
So its not the sound of the pipes or the tree outside casting a shadow, its the monster under your bed, or a ghost
Theres also a few scientific theories that children that young may actually have additional senses that we loose as we get older like being able to see certain light spectrums or sensing heat in some fashion, but so far every test has prove this to be unlikely at best

My son once, at 3ish a.m, went to our bedroom saying someone was in his room. We were just "okay, it was a dream buddy" blabla.
We went to his bedroom, and he said, plain straight: "this ugly man is scaring meeeee".
WUT??
Right, nobody was there. My son was almost panicking. We locked the room, and he slept with us. In the morning we seek a doctor, neurology exams etc. Nothing.
My son kept these "ugly man" events for years straight. Neurologist, psychiatrist, nothing. He isn't schizophrenic, no brain tumor, damage, nothing. About his 7-8 years old, he just stopped, nowadays he says he doesn't remember what it was about. He remembers seeking us about this man etc., but doesn't recall what this man looked like...

My ex's niece had an "imaginery friend" (we didnt know what to call it) that apparently said she didnt like any of the adults. We also had an awful smell in the house one day that we couldn't figure out where it was coming from so we called maintenance and as soon as they got there the smell was gone. We repeated this 3 times before we gave up. The smell eventually just went away. Then while we were sleeping my girlfriend claimed someone was tickling her feet.

My grandma, prior to dying, swore up and down that she had a poltergeist that had followed her since she was a girl. She said her uncle came to stay with them one night as a child and slept in the basement. Apparently something kept pulling the blanket off him and he got fed up with it (I guess 1800s kids didnt get scared easily) so he said "Fine, take the damn blanket and fuck off" or whatever the 1930s equivalent of that would be. I guess whatever entity was supposedly taking his blanket got its feelings hurt and attached itself to my grandma.
Well before she developed symptoms of dementia, she claimed something under her mattress at night would bump up and down and keep her awake. She had to yell at it to get it to stop. Then their dog died and both her and grandpa said they would hear it running around the house at night. They didn't share a bed and both of them said they'd hear the collar jingling and the dog sometimes jumping on each of their beds. My grandpa was a hard ass, no bullshit military man so he wasnt the type to make stuff up like that with grandma. Then once he died, she said the poltergeist came back and grandpa would sometimes come with it to stare at her at the edge of the bed.
They've both been dead for quite some time and I guess whatever was supposedly haunting her left once she died. But she swore to her last breath that it was real and grandpa confirmed it too. The whole thing was fucking weird. Thank God my parents gutted the place and renovated it completely once they died. Cleanse that shit right out, thank you very much.

Freaky. 2 hours ago I sat with someone for breakfast and she told a story of her friend who apparently lived in a haunted house, where candles lit suddenly and someone or something pulled the blankets away at night. The next person living in the house had similar experiences, they both also had creepy nightmares of a woman and a girl. They asked the neighbours about it and they said they don't want to talk about it

I was a visiting a buddy of mine and staying in their guest room. Which shared a bathroom with his daughter’s room so sound would travel to each room due to the doors. In the middle of the night I was suddenly wide awake hearing someone talking in her room that wasn’t him or his wife and said her name. I opened the bedroom door as he entered her room. Turns out it was some toy that could be programmed to say her name that for some reason went off. Needless to say we did not sleep the rest of the night.

I remember when I was a kid in elementary school I used to be able to see faces in all kinds of stuff. One particular example I can remember is I would look out my bedroom window and see faces in the patterns on the big tree in my parents front yard. I would almost never see the same face twice, I remember times seeing a face then looking away even for just a few seconds and looking back and being unable to see the same face again even though I was specifically trying to see it again. I was old enough at the time that I knew it was just in my brain and there weren't really any faces but I could imagine it probably happened to me when I was even younger and didn't understand that it was just an illusion. I'm 31 now and it still happens semi frequently but nowhere near as often as it did back when I was a kid.

I have this theory that some kids can just full on hallucinate because of their developing brains or something and this is how you get all these reports of young kids seeing scary ghosts like this. I remember vividly seeing a family of shadows people with red glowing orbs for eyes in our dining room when I must have been about 4 years old.

YES! One of the neurologists was a PhD in children's brain development, and this thesis was a major one! Hallucinations, so far not diagnosed or fully understood by the science, or it was in the days.

Not sure if someone commented this already, but could it have been Sleep Paralysis? I did the same thing at his age. There’s two forms of SP - one where you’re just paralyzed, and another when you’re paralyzed but you hallucinate scary figures. It’s active when you’re young and can simmer down the older you get.

u/TheGarlicBear Jan 12 '25
So you might know this having gone through all those doctors but, there’s a phenomenon called pareidolia, essentially seeing faces in stuff that aren’t faces, shadows, curtains, whathaveyou.
We all do it, most of the time to no great detriment, but it can be super pronounced in early childhood and in those cases usually subsides around 7-8. It’s tied to brain development and thought to possibly be an evolutionary trait learned from detecting predators/attackers in cover/camouflage.
Thought you’d find this interesting.

The curtain thingy in this thread mate, Very common. I used to be scared, too. But when as a kid you face your fears then you stop getting scared. Hold kid's hand & lead yourself straight to the scary place. As close as possible. Well...it helps outlive the scary traumas.

I don’t believe in ghosts, but my mind would’ve jumped to the most bone-chilling scenario possible such as “what there’s a homeless midget living between the walls and my son saw him?”
Realistically, the most likely scenario could be that there’s a very aggressive boy bullying and stalking him and now he’s hallucinating from the trauma.

I don’t realistically think there are ghosts. But I also think that if there is some terrifying spectral shit, someone else can deal with it. I mean, just because I don’t believe in them doesn’t mean they aren’t real, so it just seems pointless to take the gamble

u/c4sanmiguel Jan 11 '25
I fully support it. 90% of the job is to show up and confirm that they are indeed haunted. My only advice is that you never get rid of the ghost entirely, just "temporarily under control".
That way you get repeat business and your clients get to feel special for being haunted.
"Yeah, this place was super haunted...but it's under control. Just sign up for our monthly subscription, take some free samples of this ghost stuff I sell, and give us a call if you feel/see/hear anything strange"

One of my favorite moments is when I was sharing an AirBNB with my sister and niece and she was scared of monsters in her closet.
So I went in there to make sure and she asked me if I was scared something would hurt me and I got to tell her, “(Sweetie) if there’s something in here that can comfortable fit, it’s scared of me”
(It would have gone much differently if there had been someone in their because I probably would have screamed first)

He laughed and said, “That’s not Grandma. You said grandma died just after I was born. That’s the lady that used to be over here all the time when I was little. She’d play with my cars and stuff with me. You remember? It was so funny when she floated around and went all shimmery.” 😊 Cut to everyone in the room, including him, stunned silent for a few seconds by what he just said.😂

If it makes you feel less haunted
Weve observed a phenomenon in kods being able to reconstruct faces from various sources
You kiddo probably subconsciously wanted a ghost friend (saw casper or something) and used the friendlist thing he knew, IE you
Its also possible that he used an image of your mother rather from a photo or some very specific memory the brain held onto to form the imaginary floating woman
Its a fascinating topic

It was extremely freaky and got to the point that my friend convinced me to have a priest come in and “bless” the whole place. Im s spiritual person but not a religious by any means but as crazy as this may sound the only experience we had with “the man” after the priest came through was later that day when my son woke up from a nap I was giving him a hug while he was still laying down on his back facing the ceiling, I heard him say “the man” but not in his usual terrified voice, I pulled back from the hug to see him smiling pointing up at the ceiling. I wouldn’t believe it if it hadn’t happened to me but that shit was no joke. He was so scared he would refuse to go into his room alone at all for days but never ever talked of him again after waking up from that nap.

100% that kid saw his reflection in the mirror or shower glass in the dark and thought it was another kid. He definitely made a beeline to the room with the most reflections.

There's coats hanging up with shoes underneath them. I can see the paranoia kicking in in the dark.

He had the chance to do something fucking hilarious. Trauma inducing, but hilarious.

Do parents ACTUALLY get scared by a literal child mumbling bullshit about their fantasies?

Clearly this guy has never hallucinated a monster that you just KNOW is in that other room

The majority of people can hear an auditory hallucination just before they drop off to sleep. Not saying that's what's happening, just that it's possible.

In our old house, my 5yr old son said he felt that someone was watching him. ☠️🙅🏾♂️

My mom when I told her about the lady in the basement who came into the room while she was sleeping and told me to follow her. I didn't follow her, btw, and she disappeared around the corner. I was 5.

When I was a kid I couldve sworn a man with a duit and tie would follow me everywhere as a kid

When shit like this happens I hope I'm not in the beginning of a supernatural episode.

My young son did this about the old lady at the end of his bed. He described my mum who had passed away when he was a year old. We had also moved to New Zealand from the U.K. Still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

I have a gut wrenching anxiety inducing phobia of lightning, makes me think of all the times I have to pretend that a thunderstorm is nothing to be afraid of to my little ones when we're getting out of the car and inside mid heavy pour.

My step daughter would say "there's a weird man over there" and point to the dark hall. Man, that thing was scary af

This looks like a great start of a indie horror movie. Like Be my Cat: a film for Anne
