Where are those people from the before?

Before what?

Before here. Before this place?

2 year old who had only lived in the one house

r/kthxbyebyee When my son was about 3, he would talk to someone named “Wally”. He was crying one night and said Wally was looking in his window but this time his face was missing. I had him sleep in bed with my husband and I that night after doing a perimeter check around the house lol. Kids are creepy little creatures.

My son, then about two or three, used to tell us about his imaginary friend Johnny, who wore all green, including a green hat. One time, we were driving by the cemetery and my son pointed out the window and exclaimed, “that’s where Johnny lives”. He was very little and didn’t know what a cemetery was, so we explained to him that no one lives there, it’s a place for people who died. That’s when he told us that “Johnny was a soldier who died in a place called Nam. “

Story of a family friend who is a single mother. Her and her young daughter (age 3-4ish?) fell on hard times and moved to a cheaper apartment downtown. Her daughter developed an imaginary friend who she claimed was a little girl who visited her “through a door in the wall” at night. Soon, behavioral bottoms ensured. Daughter was not sleeping, complained her “friend” was mean to her after she said she didn’t want to play anymore and wouldn’t let her sleep. Daughter started acting out and mother became concerned once heads were ripped off barbie dolls and eyes and mouth were blacked out with sharpie. Last straw was when mother found BURNED pieces of doll clothing and hair in daughters bedroom. Daughter kept blaming the imaginary friend, who was now relaying disturbing tales of how the imaginary friend wanted to play with fire and had burned clothes. Her daughter stated she was afraid of the friend, who wanted the daughter to be her “forever friend”.

Mother is scared as hell and confides in a friend/ neighbor. Comes to find out that the apartment they lived in was remodeled after a former fire. In a tragic accident a family perished in the apartment fire, including a young girl approximately the age of the daughter. They nope’d the f out of there and daughter resumed her usually happy go lucky self. She doesn’t not remember this imaginary friend.

r/uwu_SenpaiSatan So this is actually my story of when I was a kid. I had an imaginary friend named Derek who was a carbon copy of me. We were completely identical. I played with Derek for years, longer than what normal kids do. But he would always look at my mom and older sister with a sense of sadness. Eventually he went away. 23 years later im digging through my moms safe to grab some paperwork she’s kept for me and I see a stillborn death certificate for a boy named Derek who shared my birthday. It was only then I found out I was actually a twin and my twin, Derek, died during birth. Creepy right?

r/NotAnotherWhatever I’ve mentioned this before, but my sister Ashley used to get visited at night by a dead girl with long dark hair and spider hands (yes, this pre-dated The Ring, yes, I’m old AF). She moved out the second she turned 18, never looked back. 20-odd years later, our half-brother Trevor moved into her old room. It wasn’t long after Trev started sleeping on the sofa, or with the lights on, and told us about his new “friend” that he didn’t like. She was a dead girl who had long dark hair, an old nightgown, and spider hands. Needless to say, none of us offered to trade rooms with him.

r/lilpigperez Was taking my 3 year old niece for ice cream one evening. I strapped her into her car seat in the backseat. As I started driving, my niece asks if Jacob (imaginary friend) could get an ice cream, too? I jokingly said, “Jacob can get his own ice cream.” I laughed, and said, “Just kidding – we’ll get Jacob an ice cream.” She didn’t respond so I looked in the rear view mirror. I couldn’t see very much because it was dark. What I could see was my niece’s face. She looked angry and I was about to reassure her that I was kidding but I realized she wasn’t looking at me. She was looking at something near my ear, towards the back of my head. Then she says, “I said NO, Jacob. Be nice. NO. She didn’t mean it.”

Purple mommy. When my son was first learning to talk, he would tell us about something called “purple mommy”. It could be an imaginary friend, but these details are a little bit creepy. Here’s a few of the purple mommy details. Purple mommy is all purple with long hair and bright all white eyes(at the time he mixed up purple with black, so he could have meant she was all black). Purple mommy picks him up at night, and turns off the lights. We would often find my son out of his crib in the morning, which would mean him crawling over the railing and to the ground, at a time when he was barely walking. Definitely found the lights in his room off a few times too, even though hes terrified if the dark.. Purple mommy needs a bandage because she has blood everywhere. Purple mommy has no smile, meaning a mouth Purple mommy can take her head off.. Purple mommy really doesn’t like daddy. He told us all of this stuff for maybe a year or a little more. If we ever asked where she was, hed always point to the same spot. A corner of the room behind his open closet door. He would also wake up crying almost every night during this time. Once, during a really rough night, my wife went to ask him whats wrong, and his answer was “purple mommy wont let me sleep.”

r/StarDustAndLus So maybe not scary but definitely weird. When I was little claimed to have an imaginary friend, who had light brown hair and wore a night gown, and she had stars for eyes. Well, my niece was living at my old childhood home and she told me that she has a friend who misses me and she asked why I went away. When I asked who, she described my old imaginary friend. It was super spooky. Edit: I have been informed that this is scary, my apologies.

r/Gemski13 My cousin was a few years younger than me and he had an imaginary friend called ‘Mooky’. Mooky wasn’t human, but some kind of alien/monster thing. Used to freak me out when I’d hear a noise behind me at my grandparents house and my cousin would calmly say “It’s only Mooky, he just wants to see you.”
