This 3-year-old girl’s ‘imaginary mum’ will haunt you in your dreams

They say kids’ imagination knows no limits. And sometimes, they say things beyond what adults can imagine.

A three-year-old’s description of her imaginary friend had everyone on Twitter thinking that she might either be an extremely imaginative little girl or is being haunted by a “straight up terrifying” ghost.

American actress Natalie Morales shared a photo taken from Oh Comely magazine which features kids’ drawing of their “make-believe pals”. In the photo is a three-year-old named Ruby holding a drawing of her “imaginary mum,” Grateful, who she describes as a pregnant 14-year-old girl who can’t have birthdays.

The child details Grateful’s specifics, and it will send chills down your spine: “Her yellow eyelashes mean she can see in the dark — she only comes to see me at night-time. It scares me sometimes, but I always want her to come back. She has two babies in her belly. She’s 14, but can never have a birthday.”

Morales tweeted that Ruby has a ghost with her and said that she should’ve captioned the photo more appropriately:

Like Morales, many were frightened at Ruby’s imaginary mum.

I will file this under "why I'm glad I don't have children." The cats can't describe the ghosts they see. @jenphalian

Some say that Grateful’s story could pass as a horror movie plot.

Horror writers take note. If you're out of ideas, have kids and get inspired. Then never sleep again.

One user even tried to reimagine what Grateful would look like in real life:

Others have theories about Grateful and her past.

And if you’re the kind of person who enjoys spooky stories like this, there’s a Reddit thread you can check out:

There's a Reddit thread somewhere about creepy things kids have said to their parents. The one with the "snake neck man" freaked me right the hell out.
