In a quiet corner of Huntsville, Alabama, there’s a gloomy little park known as “Dead Children’s Playground.” It’s said that swings sway on their own and ghostly children wander the area, a place rumored to be haunted by the spirits of those lost during the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic or by children who fell victim to a child abductor in the 1960s. As eerie as these tales may seem, the things that come out of kids’ mouths can be just as unsettling.
Children have a knack for saying disconcerting things, often referencing the paranormal or what seem to be past lives. Renowned writer Rosemary Counter captured this sentiment perfectly by pointing out that kids often see ghosts, recount previous existences, and even engage in conversations with deceased relatives. Their remarks can range from the bizarre to the downright frightening.
I remember having two unusual alter egos as a child: Dr. Madd Eagwoud, an inventor with wild ideas, and Alexander Hamilton, whose political rants sometimes unnerved my mother. She found it amusing until my insistence about being Hamilton sent shivers down her spine.
My family isn’t alone in this strange phenomenon. Many parents have shared their own creepy encounters with their children. For instance, there’s a story of a little girl who, while getting her diaper changed, talked about “the man with the snake neck” in the closet. Another child casually mentioned she wanted to “wear her mom’s feet” by cutting them off.
The internet is filled with tales of creepy kids who seem to have an uncanny knowledge of the past or the macabre. From a toddler declaring her newborn brother a “monster” to a child predicting their parent’s hospitalization, the stories are both fascinating and chilling.
For parents dealing with these eerie utterances, the advice varies. Some experts suggest acknowledging the child’s feelings without dismissing their experiences. Others recommend a more cautious approach, especially when comments lean towards the morbid.
If you encounter a creepy child’s comment, whether it’s about past lives or unsettling intentions, it’s wise to stay vigilant and maintain a sense of humor.
