    the fact the book was an entire reference to a fnaf song and animation, but was still horrifying to onlookers, makes me treasure the new fnaf generation, because sometimes the fans are scarier than the games, and other times the children of fans are horribly, horribly worse.

His goodbyes were nothing more than a solid "Damn you stink" and then walking away like it was the most human response imaginable. This child is a legend who has the toughness and emotions of a titanium plate, bordered with crush diamonds. This child will soon grow to be the strongest man in the world.

    In our elementary school, there was common for kids to write short stories as school projects. In the bookself of my classroom, there was two probably over ten-page-long short stories (not even hand-written!) written by two 6th graders that were at least four years older than I. Both stories shared the name "Dark Light" but were two separate stories, apparently set in the same universe. Both stories revolved around some sort of dark forces moving around the life of the main character, both young girls. The protagonist of the first one manages to fight against the evil force and in the end win. In the other story, the protagonist never solves the mystery and ends up ending her own life after suddenly losing her mother and her newborn brother in an accident. Both stories also started with this poem that sounded way too eerie to be written by kids. The poem roughly translates to (from Finnish language):
    "Dark like the night,
    Darker is his heart.
    Black like the mind of wolf,
    Blacker is his mind."
    I have no idea what was going on with these two kids but I hope they are alive and well somewhere. I also hope they became fantasy authors when they grew up.

      Well this poem sounds like something written in early romantic or pre-romantic period, due to having both gothic dark elements, existencial question that can be asigned to emotional sphere and northern animalistic/natural elements, so this may help with finding the poem if it indeed has not been written by said 6th graders.
      The other thing is that those stories don't sound out of place to me as someone who wrote a storie about a secret sindicate like organisation which organised hunts for kids in a town, took them to a abandoned mantion in a forest and commited sacrificial killings on them one by one while the others where forced to watch. I should also mention that the story was written from pov of one of the kids that got killed and I was around 6th or 7th grade when I wrote it. I also ilustrated this story with all it's gory details. Well I was just depressed and bored to death during class.

    Something I said as a little kid that still haunts me because my mum keeps bringing it up is that after I heard about the concept of marriage, I had decided that I would marry my best friend because all I understood was that you marry people you really like and that you marry as ab adult (because of this I also said that I'd marry my sister at one point but that's neither here nor there), so I ended up creating all these little wedding invitations for me at my friend and then handing them out to people, but then I didn't give one to my mum, so when she asked why, I responded "oh you'll be dead by then".

    I was tripping outside on my friend's front porch many years ago, waiting for her to come back out with refreshments, when a little neighbor girl about 5 came up and sort of dug the toe of her shoe in the dirt and asked "You know what I wish I could have?" I thought of a dozen things, a Barbie Playhouse, a new bike, all the cookies in the world, a cute striped kitty cat, a different little brother...but she looked up and spread her arms and said quietly "...Springtime." Kind of blew my mind, she had a sense of real value and wished for something priceless and genuinely precious.

I think that's quite sweet, not creepy like the things in the video, but I thought it was worth mentioning because kids have a tendency to say bizarre combinations of words that most people wouldn't consider using.

    One day, we were talking about sleeping (I think when she came to tuck me in) and I invented a new imaginary character on the spot called Gnome Silly-beard (Kabouter Gekbaardje in Dutch) who'd supposedly help me fall asleep at night by telling me stories or reading to me (don't remember exactly).

    I remember being extremely obsessed with My Little Pony back in the day. Though, as most of you probably know, it's fanbase was batshit insane. Especially the fanart. For some reason there's a lot of surprisingly violent fanart of the kid's show. You could easily find some detailed art on UA-cam and Google of colorful horses bleeding to death. And me, who was going down the unfortunate career of being an artist, was inspired by them and wanted to make my own.
    So yeah. If you were to flip through 10 year old me's sketchbooks, you would find crudely drawn ponies being tortured and torn apart. Though I have to admit the bloody pony drawings were probably why I'm able to stomach a lot of non-live action horror nowadays.

    one time, in about first grade, the teachers enforced that when we would write that we would always have to make the space a finger width apart. me being a perfectionist was once writing something in class and accidently made two words too close together. instead of erasing it, I drew a finger in the space in-between to show that it was actually a finger width apart but just didn't look that way. I started doodling, making it more and more realistic. I added the wrinkles, the nail, the shape, everything. suddenly my teacher walks up to me and starts lecturing me, getting real mad and telling me how absurd and inappropriate my drawing was and threatening to tell the principle. As you could expect, I was very confused at the time as of why she was so stirred up, only for me to now realize that a realistic drawing of a finger, a badly realistic drawing of a finger, looks a lot like a dick. I was the only innocent one, she was just being dirty minded.

And then out of nowhere, I blurted out to them, “Hey, I wonder what you guys would look like when you’re dead?” Understandably, they went to the teacher about it and I was horrified to hear what I’d just said to them.
    And in case anyone was wondering why I didn’t stop myself before I said that, I was having a really weird out of body experience and my mouth just kind of ran on its own. It was weird.

Once when I was 5 or so I was looking for bugs in the dirt and getting my clothes all dirty and my grandmother bitterly said, "Aw, what a charming little girl you are," dreading having to clean me up I guess, and I looked her dead in the face and offendedly said, "That's sarcasm, Kristine!"

    Nothing compared to me as a child. I would go on tangents about the “eyeless man” and scream that I saw him while running into my parents room. That’s strange, but understandable at like midnight, but no. I would sometimes be in a perfectly happy mood and run screaming to my parents minutes later mid-day. I also apparently had an unusual amount of night-terrors. Like nightmares, but more traumatic.
    *Edit with a bit more detail since so many more of you are interested than I expected:*
    Most of the time I apparently saw “The Eyeless Man” was at my uncle’s family house in Missouri while we stayed there for a few weeks. His house always smelled like dead cheese. Yes, dead cheese, don’t judge my descriptive abilities.
    Also, a lot people down there mentioning religion. I was born into a Christian family (still am one), so as far as I’m concerned it could very well have been an actual demon. Not sure obviously, because I don’t remember it. I do remember asking my mom read me the Bible every night to help me fall asleep. That’s not a normal thing for a 5-7 year old to ask for (then again, according to the retired pastor at my church the current pastor’s wife, his daughter, literally prayed to Satan until she was about 6. So at least I was just haunted by the demon, and wasn’t the actual demon).
    Second to last bit: I vividly remember one of those recurring night-terrors, in which I would repeatedly be forced to watch said eyeless man walk down into the sand while his eyes were impaled on a particularly sharp group of rocks.
    Last bit I promise: My mom’s least favourite part of the whole thing was definitely the part where I would be lying in between my parents at night when I would suddenly look at the doorway of the room and start screaming “I SEE IT I SEE IT!!!” then cry. But don’t worry, I called the ghostbusters and now I’m all good.

    For about 2 years I use to be a martial arts coach for kids, was a fun job really enjoyed it, the kids were pretty awesome and the other coaches were good to work with as well. Anyway, one day before classes I was supervising the kids playing in the dojo, when one of them comes up to me and says "Wyatt wrote a book about you" I was touched, someone had gone through all the effort to write a book about me lol, anyway kid continues " It's got you and Sensei and Osensei as well and you all die" But of a shock that was. So I go to find Wyatt and enquire about this book of his. So I ask him what is this book he made about us all dying, he then describes in detail how he single handedly kills all five of us instructors in various different(very gruesome)ways. I asked him How he was going to kill me and he said he was going to steal a gun and shoot out my kneecaps and and arms and stuff and let me dude slowly. He also then describes how he goes straight after to commit a mass school shooting of all the kids at his school. Anyway, I found this to be very concerning behaviour and I asked him wtf kinda tellie tubbies has he been watching. Apparently his parents never put a restriction on any of their streaming platforms and this kid has had access to R18 and ma15 content so yeah.

    When I was about 5 years old, I asked my parents "What if someone is playing us?"
    They asked me to elaborate. Turns out I meant, like, "What if we're NPCs in a game and someone is controlling us?"
    Years later and they still tell that story to everyone.

    My brother (10yo now) had a running thing where he'd tell us about another "life" he had lived, when he was six or so. Some of the stories were about wolves killing his brother (apparently a brother the rest of us have never met) and him having to flush specifically fifty-one bodies down the toilet.

    I really vividly remember one nightmare I had as a kid where me and my family lived in this place where every year or something a person had to be sacrificed to whatever. My turn came and I really hoped my parents would try to save me and begged them to do something while they just kept telling me it's "for our good" and "it won't hurt at all". When I woke up I ran to my parents' room to make them reassure me that they wouldn't do something like this. I don't remember how old I was but young enough that it seems pretty dark now that I think of it

    One time, when I was a baby, my mom told my older brother (five years old at the time), that I was really difficult to take care of. My brother suggested “mommy, what if we put the baby in the trash?” My mom explained that putting me in the trash could hurt me, and my brother simply shrugged, and said “we could leave the lid open. So he could breathe.”

    I bet the "be my girlfriend or you'll never see your parents again" one was a reference to The Fairly Odd Parents, which had an episode where that was part of the advice given for writing a love letter to the kid's crush. It was considered very "threatmantic." I believe another line from that letter was "my love for you burns with the intensity of a thousand white hot suns," which, at first glance, feels very romantic, but thinking about it for a minute or two, the underlying crazy sort of shines through.

    Hmmm I kinda have a story about this since everyone is sharing. Its not traditionally scary but when I was a child I was extremely existential (this takes place when I was like 6-7 I think) and one time I asked my friend how he knew he was real or if any thing was real because what if everything was actually a dream. I told him the only thoughts I could know for sure were real were my own because I couldn't think his thoughts and he couldn't think mine so I can't know for sure anything else was real (I think I accidentally discovered the idea "I think therefore I am" before I knew it by name) and then he started crying so I had to do a 180° in order to reassure him that he was real and that I was sorry. If you are out there Emmit and you remember this, yo my bad dawg.

      The thought process of "I can't be sure anyone else is real because I'm not them" is called solipsism. It's a common idea amongst children, but they usually give it up quite quickly (like you did). I actually considered the same idea at the same age, but I decided that if no-one else existed, then I must not exist either, which seemed perfectly untrue.

    When I was a kid I was over visiting my grandma with my mom. I was sat at the kitchen table eating a bowl of cereal, when my grandma and mom decided to include me in their conversation by asking me the basic childhood question "What do you want to be when you grow up?". I looked them both in the eye and said "A serial killer!" before proceeding to take a big bite of my cereal. They were both understandably horrified, but I was extremely confused by their reaction. Turns out it was just a huge misunderstanding because poor little baby me thought that it was actually "cereal killer", meaning someone who ate a lot of cereal. I was very embarrassed by this misunderstanding, and was shocked to have learned that I had unknowingly told my mom and grandma that I wanted to grow up and become a mass murderer! The three of us still laugh about this incident to this day. 💀
