Babysitters Confess Their Creepiest Stories of Childcare Gone Weird
Childcare is a tough work, but does it have to be creepy? The babysitters of Reddit have come together to share their spookiest encounters while on the clock.
From getting caught in the middle of fighting parents to the kids who seemed connected to other worlds, childhood is truly the creepiest time in a person’s life. Lock the doors to these 42 horrifying stories about babysitting gone weird.
1. Fighting that Animal Instinct
A 3-year old said: "There's strangers....there's strangers in the backyard..." "THERE'S STRANGERS IN THE BACKYARD." Kid runs. Back door starts rattling. Called my dad who lived across the street. In tow with my brother, they scavenged the backyard...
to find two raccoons fighting.
2. A High-Fat Fashion Statement
A little girl I was watching didn't speak too much yet. Her mom made her bacon before leaving her in my care. As the girl was eating, she takes a piece of bacon and puts it on her head, and very matter of factly says, "HAT!"
3. You Can’t Take Cuteness With You
My little cousin is a very lively 4-year-old. She's cute, but she can be a little much if you're not crazy about kids.
The other day at a family birthday, I sat down after playing with her to relax a little, and she came over and sat down in front of me. All quiet and very serious, she looks me in the eyes and says, "Where are you going?"
And I answer "nowhere, I'm just sitting here." There is a small pause before she says, "That's right. You're not going anywhere. Not until you're going up to God." Then she poked my boob and ran off laughing.
It's weird because she said it in that creepy kid way, but also because of the whole God thing. Religion isn't a very big thing where I'm from, and I have no idea where she got that understanding of life after death.
4. Hit and KISS
I was attempting to find the bathroom at their house and accidentally walked into a room that was a shrine to KISS. I mean, the whole darn room was covered in just KISS memorabilia. Then, later, the little girl threatened to rip my throat out.
