Girl's Terrifying Imaginary Friend Prompts People To Share The Creepiest Things Kids Say

A child’s creepy description of her imaginary friend has sparked other people to share the incredibly weird things kids have said.

American actress Natalie Morales tweeted a photo of a magazine in which kids had been asked to draw and describe their make-believe pals, as three-year-old Ruby’s answer had given her the chills.

“This is my imaginary mum Grateful,” the toddler wrote. “Her yellow eyelashes mean she can see in the dark - she only comes to see me at night-time. It scares me sometimes but I always want her to come back. She has two babies in her belly. She’s 14 but can never have a birthday.”

Ruby, you have a ghost. This is straight up terrifying. pic.twitter.com/DM0y77CWHI

Yikes! Little kids can see such things because their minds are wide, wide open. But I hope Grateful goes away soon!

The tweet encouraged other people to share creepy things they have heard kids say.

Last week my niece said "sometimes I feel the stealers hug me in the night when I'm sleeping, but they always leave before I wake up."

This reminds me of the time I was sleeping in my little sisters room for the night and I was up on my phone while she slept & all of a sudden she sits up, sleepwalking she says “six six six” and then falls back asleep. I was terrified.

Last week at my work a 5 y/o girl stopped dead in her tracks looking absolutely terrified and said she saw a “tall man with long black hair and long black coat” in our spare room but he disappeared

This is almost like the time my little sister stood on my bed in the dead of night to look out the basement window that had been covered for winter and went “it’s my friend. He’s here. But hide, he doesn’t like you.”

My father passed away and a year after that during a car ride my child pretends to talk on the phone.
"Ok, see you then!"
"Who did you talk with?", I ask.
"Grandpa."
"Nice, what did you talk about?"
"He's coming to visit us this night."
😱👻
