Have your children ever stood at your bedside in the wee hours, sending chills down your spine? Or perhaps they’ve claimed to have lived a previous life? And what about those unsettling vintage dolls with their glassy eyes and delicate porcelain faces?
It’s not just children’s quirks that can send a shiver down your spine. We’ve all felt that unease when a stranger stands too close in line at the grocery store, or when you casually mention needing a new rug, only to be bombarded with rug ads on your phone moments later. The world is rife with oddities, and it’s vital to trust our instincts to identify them and ensure our children remain safe. At the very least, let’s prevent creepy toys from crossing our thresholds. That talking alphabet puzzle that starts reciting, “Z is for Zebra” in the dead of night? Toss it out!
Toys from the Victorian Era were downright unsettling. It’s hard to fathom how kids of that time weren’t terrified while playing with those bizarre creations.
Confessions of the Eerie Kind
Confession #25761948: I find reborn dolls unsettling, yet there’s a part of me that wants one.
Confession #25758171: My first-grade teacher sobbed while reading “I’ll Love You Forever.” I always thought it was creepy—even at six years old. No way will I be that kind of mom.
Confession #25792957: I believe my daughter may have lived a past life. At two, she told me I was her second mom, and that her other mother had passed away long ago. How do you parent a soul that feels older than you?
Confession #25809050: Children and their toys can definitely be eerie. And yes, a tale about a mother breaking into her grown son’s home to hold him? That’s unsettling too.
I’m baffled by the Halloween obsession, and the cemetery decorations in my neighborhood? Just plain creepy.
Confession #25800170: Watching a baseball game on TV while surrounded by life-sized cardboard cutouts of fans? Super creepy.
Confession #25792777: My husband has developed a peculiar habit of constantly combing his beard. The noise makes me cringe, and I can’t fathom why he thinks it’s cool.
Then there are things that others might find amusing but that just give you the creeps. Like that odd beard-combing or pretending those cardboard cutouts are real people just to escape the reality of a pandemic.
I think daddy/daughter dances are super weird. Why can’t fathers bond with their daughters through activities that aren’t tied to dating? Gross.
Confession #25787529: Since my grandfather passed over ten years ago, my mom continually posts about him, using a pet name she never used while he was alive. It’s just plain creepy.
Confession #25786011: When my son was a baby, his grandma insisted on calling him “lover.” I freaked out and told her that if she kept it up, she wouldn’t see him again. That was downright unsettling!
Confession #25775294: Watching my mother-in-law dote on my husband is off-putting.
Do you have that one quirky uncle whose gaze freaks you out? Or a mother-in-law who crosses boundaries? You know, those odd daddy-daughter dynamics that make your skin crawl? Me too.
Confession #25762923: I found out my trainer has a sock fetish and has been covertly snapping pics of our feet. It’s creepy, but I’ve been wearing wild socks just to see his reaction. Not sorry!
Confession #25761707: My husband confessed to a “cast fetish,” picturing me in a leg cast during intimate moments. I’m unsure how to feel about that.
There are always those obsessions and fetishes that make you rethink how well you know someone.
Confession #25753456: My creepy neighbor installed cameras outside his house, all aimed at ours. I can’t wait to move!
Confession #25752203: I frequently enjoy coffee at Dunkin, but there’s this one guy who insists on sitting next to me despite other options. Super creepy! I reported him to the manager—didn’t want to, but my gut says something isn’t right.
Confession #25775001: While waiting for lab tests at the doctor’s office, I received a pop-up ad saying, “What are you doing THERE – we’re just 4 miles away and MUCH cheaper!” Have I mentioned how incredibly creepy targeted advertising has become?
And then there’s that unnerving sensation of being watched—whether it’s from a camera, your phone, or someone standing too close. Creeeeeeepy.
We can chuckle about the harmless yet disturbing Victorian dolls, but if someone in your life gives you the heebie-jeebies, listen to that intuition and protect yourself. However, you might have to learn to tolerate your partner’s odd habits, like beard-combing, because you love him. That’s your call!
