On the UK mom site Mumsnet, a week ago, moms talked about the most frightening things about their kids.
It was not about terrible diseases, but about mysticism, and the mothers shared stories in which their children probably saw ghosts, or recalled past lives, etc.
The discussion began with the story of a young teacher about a girl who predicted the birth of twins for her colleague, and the teacher herself did not yet know that she was pregnant.
“I was working in a group for toddlers and there was a girl who had recently arrived from Africa. She barely spoke English, but one day she came up to my colleague and put her hands on her stomach. And then she said "There are kids!"
Her father was a chieftain in a tribe and this girl was considered something like a princess. When she said these words, she then went on to play as usual. And a little later, my colleague found out that she was pregnant and moreover, she would have twins!
But this is not the end of the story. After about 5 months, this girl came up to me this time and put her hands on my stomach. And then she also said "There are kids!" And then I found out I was pregnant. The truth is not twins, but one child."
The post became very popular and similar mystical stories from other parents began to quickly appear under it.

“One day a colleague brought his 4-year-old son Cham to work and this boy suddenly approached another colleague of mine and asked him 'Are you sad because a tree fell on that person?' Several years ago, a colleague lost his wife precisely because of a fallen tree.
Nobody understood how Cham found out about it, since practically no one knew about it at work and such things were not discussed by anyone, especially in the presence of Cham."
Another user told a story about how a little girl unexpectedly came up to her grandfather, who was sitting in a chair, hugged his neck and said that she would always remember him. A couple of hours later, my grandfather, who was in good health, suddenly died.
Another story from mom:
“When my son Connor was 3 years old (now he is 20), he woke up one morning and began to tell his dream about a big boat, which was full of people and which sank hundreds of years ago in the River Thames. He spoke at great length and in incredible detail, with many details and names mentioned.
Then we started looking for information about this incident and found! After that we asked him who told him about it and he said that someone had come at night and told him.
And there were still a lot of such strange stories with our Connor, but all this continued only for 18 months, and when he turned fifth, everything seemed to cut off and he never told us anything unusual again."
Here are some more spooky stories:
“When we moved to a new house, my 2-year-old child pointed to a nearby historical monument and said that there was a very unpleasant person in 'this tower' and that he was very cruel to his wife.
And then my child said even stranger words, "I tried to help the Lady, but the man was chasing me with an ax." The monument really looks like a tower, but we had never been in this area before and my child had never seen it until that moment …"
“My eldest son, when he was little, would often tell me about his wife and about the two sons he had. And also about his work at the truck factory, how he played darts after work and much more."
“When I was 2 myself, I just greeted the creature living in the closet. When my mother asked if anyone was there, I said yes, that is, “oh, he is no longer in the closet, but on the bed, mother.” Needless to say, my mother was scared."
“When my son was 3 years old, we passed a house on the other side of our city and he suddenly began to say that he lived here 'with his mother before he began to live with his new mother.' He said that the former mother was angry and yelled at him a lot, since she wanted a girl to be born.
And then he wanted to get a new mother to replace the old one and it happened. My son also described a lot how this house looks from the inside and then everything turned out exactly as he said. I'm sure we've never passed this house before."
“My baby was born prematurely and with a whole bunch of diseases. In the first weeks, doctors fought for his life. Later, he was diagnosed with autism, and at the age of 4 he first spoke and began to tell completely frightening things.
He started asking why, when he was 2 weeks old, they stuck those things in his back? It turned out that when he was 2 weeks old, doctors gave him 4 painful injections into the lumbar region. We forgot about it a long time ago, and even more so we never talked about it with anyone.
After a few weeks he asked, "Why was I being fed this terrible green food, I hate it." I remembered that at the age of 4 months I was feeding him spinach and broccoli puree and he resisted and did not want to eat. He ate food of a different color much more willingly."
“My three-year-old daughter was looking at an old magazine with pictures. There was something about country life. Suddenly, something caught her attention and then she pointed to the picture with the woman, turned to me and said 'Look, Mommy, it was you before you died.'
“From the very first months my daughter was strangely fascinated by one empty corner of her bedroom in our old house. It looked like the most ordinary corner, there were no things in it, but my daughter very often looked at him with wide eyes.
When she was 2 or 3 years old she pulled us one day to this corner and said “Look, the man in the wall”. We were creepy, but at first we did not attach any importance to it. And then, when she was almost four years old, she began to talk even more about this man.
She talked about “the man who lives in the wall”, about the “man from the wall in a blue shirt”, about “the man who walks from there to there” (pointing from the corner to the ceiling). When she began to say that “he has teeth,” we decided that it would be better for us to move from there as soon as possible, and so we did”.
