We may never sleep again after reading these 17 creepy quotes from kids
Children have far better imaginations than most adults, and that’s the information we’re currently using to comfort ourselves after reading these terrifying comments from youngsters.
It all started with author Barlow Adams sharing something his 9-year-old had said.
9: Can I sleep with you?
Me: Why?
9: Had a dream about the Lullaby Lady.
M: Who?
9: An old woman with no skin on her hands.
M: Why do you call her that?
9: Because she stands next to your bed and hums while you sleep.
M: Sure, just let Daddy put the house up for sale real quick.— Barlow Adams (@BarlowAdams) February 29, 2020
The tweet has been liked more than 100,000 times in two days, and has been shared by almost 12,000 people, but it’s the responses that really caught our attention, and these were our favourites.

My 6 year old had a princess bed with curtains around it. She used to get really hot in bed so I suggested not drawing the curtains around her. She replied, ‘No, I have to have the curtains drawn then I can’t see the old lady standing next to my bed. I don’t like her watching me’

7: I saw a bat in the house last night.
Me: Really, where?
7: It flew in my room and then down the stairs.
Me: Wow, were you scared?
7: No, it said it wasn't a problem until it grows its other wings.
Me: Cool, here's your coat time for a sleepover at Gramma's forever.— Jon Sawatsky 🐉✏️ (@JonSawatsky) March 1, 2020

Well so my Grandma gifted me her car, and then a few years later she passed away. My son didn’t know this and asked me why the old lady was crying. I asked what old lady? He said the one in the car….my car. The one my Grandma gave me.

My 3 yo asked if she could get a canopy to protect her from the horned lady. The picture she drew of her was terrifying.

My 3yo has toy cell phone conversations with “Grandpa.” Except she hasn’t ever known one, because both my dad and father-in-law are deceased. She only has my stepdad, distinctly called Papa Duck.
Oh, and we live in the house where my father-in-law passed away in 2003.

A friend & her husband bought a very old, historical house. They were in the process of restoring it when her then 4 year old told her there was a voice in the ceiling that would speak to her.

once when my oldest daughter was 2, I was laying with her in bed to get her to go to sleep. After 15 minutes she turns to me and—very matter-of-factly—asks “daddy, who is the man in my closet?”
I calmly say “there’s no one there babe, time for sleep.” And then I died inside ☠️
