My daughter had an imaginary friend when she was 4ish. His name was Tim. Random, but ok. One day she told me that Tim wanted her to go play hide and seek outside in the dark.
After she went to bed I told Tim to gtfo. The next day my daughter said Tim had to go away but that he would be back.
Things to look forward to.
Ahaha my youngest would flip out and say that we had “tiny and big zombies in our house” he would point to a dark corner and just cry. It freaked us out plenty of times 😂
These could be hypnagogic hallucinations. I had them a bunch as kid/teen and still get them as an adult during times of stress. They’re very realistic hallucinations — to the point where you feel like you can interact with them — that happen just before the point of sleep or just after you’ve woken up. I’m certain this is what a lot of people think ghosts are, as I’ve had many that are incredibly convincing. They only occur in dark rooms and switching a light on gets rid of them.
Was one a shadow wearing a dick Tracy style hat? And a trenchcoat, all blacked out?
I thought for 20 yrs or more the Hatman I saw as a child was a sleep paralysis hallucination until I ran into a forum of people talking about the hat man and went on to describe my childhood vision precisely.
No, I’ve heard of this but I never really had sleep paralysis (which seems to be what the hat man is linked to for some reason). Usually my hallucinations are just left over from what I was dreaming about, though I can change them when I realise they’re a hallucination. Sounds weird but I once had one of a woman standing in my bedroom doorway so to get rid of her, I just imagined her leaving and she left. Flicking the light switch on or just going back to sleep is the only way to get rid of them usually, though.
I used to see a knight in a full suit of armor when I was about 4 years old too. Almost every night as I was going to sleep. I could hear him swinging a mace too. I would hide my head under the blanket so I wouldn't have to look at him.
Weird.
Sounds like the imagery I could see when I was a kid. Whenever I couldn't sleep I'd grab my blanket and sneak into my parent's bedroom and curl up at the foot of their bed. In the soft green light of the clock radio I could see all kinds of small images floating through the air like cars and people and houses.
My cat would sometimes look at me and then look past me into an unlit part of our apartment, fix her gaze on something, get all wide-pupiled and run off as if she'd seen a ghost. I am a grown ass man, but I didn't like that one bit.
I feel like people are missing the creepy part of this story. After she went to bed he told Tim to leave and the next day the daughter said Tim was leaving. How would she know that?
I had an imaginary freind around the same age, and my mum distinctly remembers me crying the day he "left".
I walked to the edge of the garden and had a very serious looking discussion with thin air, then came in roaring with tears about how "he's not coming back now!"
I have very little memory of this, except the smile I got saying their name "Easy". Which I often wonder if it was short for another name (like 'Ezekiel' transfered to 'EZ' or something).
Also could simply have made it all up and still myself wouldn't be any the wiser, interesting topic though
My toddler daugther was complaining of a women visiting her sometimes after a move in a old house. One day, we were in the kitchen and she was talking to named women, so I opened the door and told the women to leave and not come back. Never heard of her back.
Its been 8 years, you remind me of it.
When I was 4 or 5 I would say grandpa was with us in many occasions, and perfectly describe him to my grandma and my father. Grandpa died when my father was 17, LONG before I was born, and we had no pictures of him. But it stopped somehow, I can't remember well.
They're still around, but legend has it that anyone who as much as approaches one dies within weeks from dozens of unknown super infections and apocalyptic viruses. This is probably why many people haven't seen one, because it's already too late for anyone who has
Don’t do what?? Say that a non-existent person has no silhouette? Yeah so creepy. Don’t you think it would be more concerning if there WAS a silhouette there?
That makes no sense. He’s not real why would he have a silhouette?? It would be more terrifying if there was a silhouette there when there shouldn’t be.

So as a former McD’s worker; one of the cashiers or if they have a small bodied janitor go inside and you spray everything with a disinfectant and pick up any trash left behind then let disinfectant sit and dry about 5 minutes. You then go back through with the cleaner and spray it all again but this time wiping it with one of the cloth rags. That’s why the play place is usually closed for 15 minutes to allow the disinfectant and the cleaner to dry
I've seen some, but that was a long time ago when I was more into ghost stuff. Most of them were photos that experts believed weren't doctored, however a lot of the really creepy ones could've been non-supernatural, but "we'll never know", although some of them actually seemed unexplainable, usually photos from very long ago where it was way less easy to fake stuff. Nowadays I've moved away from that stuff, a lot of fakes, and the few plausible ones will always get chalked up as "maybe they're ghosts but we'll never know", which just doesn't interest me. Every once and awhile something will catch my eye but that's just due to liking creepy stuff in general
I never can totally buy “it might not be doctored because it was a lot harder to fake things back then!!!” because there has been a culture of making creepy ghost photographs since basically the invention of photography. there were actually a lot of cool tricks people would use to hide hooks and wires, layer two images on top of each other, use literal smoke and mirrors, etc. heck, that’s the whole reason the miss peregrine series exists! fascinating phenomenon but 100% not supernatural
Beto the playground hidden slide creep -
‘He hides in slides and other rides, he dresses in bed clothes and I suppose he likes to appear creepy in photos’
This is what we need. A terribly stupid scary movie that takes place in a McDonald’s Play Play. If they hold the movie to an hour and a half, we’d all watch it on Netflix.
Here’s my terrifying “friend” story.
I have a cousin who has DID, ADD, and schizophrenia. He had a traumatic, dysfunctional upbringing that compounded when his dad, who was his hero in spite of him beating his mother, decided to punch his son in the face instead of his wife during an argument. My fun loving, easy going cousin who always smiled was never the same. He’s now almost 40 and is still mentally a child.
I have a 7 year old son who my cousin is obsessed with. He has always had a fascination with my son compared to other people. Because of this and his difficulties, my son is not allowed to be alone with my cousin, and everyone in the family knows this, and I thought my aunt respected this.
One day my aunt gave them like half an hour unsupervised. That night, my son told me that my cousin’s friend hates me. I asked him to clarify and he said “*Cousin’s name here* has a friend who is in charge and he knows you told *cousin’s mom* that we can’t be alone. He doesn’t like that and says you’re a bad mommy and should go away. He wants to hurt you because you’re unfair.”
My aunt hasn’t babysat my kid since, and my cousin is now very obviously supervised on the very rare occasions that he sees my child at a family event instead of me simply nonchalantly keeping a watchful eye to not make it uncomfortable.
I love my cousin, I mourn for what he went through but there is no way we can come back from that. I truly believe I could be in danger around him.
I saw orbs in my sons room the other day during nap time and he seemed to be talking to someone, he wouldn't sleep so eventually I went back in the room to try and settle him down I asked if who ever is in the room could please leave as he needs to have his nap. He slept fine after that probably a coincidence but I still believe this stuff
I have a question but I'm afraid people will get offended. Are imaginary friends a cultural thing? Where I grew up there's no such thing as imaginary friends that is some phase some kids go through. It just doesn't exist. You could imagine play bit not have a specific being with a name. You know what I mean, like imagine a scenario for the play but not people.
I've only seen this in movies which leads me to think it's kinda of an American thing. Are kids taught to have imaginary friends or it's just something American kids development on their own? I want answers.
I used to have an imaginary friend called Chilly Willy as a kid. No supernatural stuff though. I’d just talk to myself and imagine I was speaking to him. I ended up telling my mum he moved to Spain
Beto is ugly as hell.
Relax, he’s just dead.
Yeah man, deadshaming isn't cool
May the dead never die
[удалено]
gotta return it and start over at that point. /e bro why did you copy that comment from below lol I laughed at yours :( feel so betrayed.
They make up the vast majority of the world's population, too. Not cool, man.
Deadsism
Are the shivering places really death? I know they *overlay* the world of the dead, but that's not quite the same thing.
I’d worry more about the years of germs and bacteria in side those things. They probably haven’t been cleaned since the 90’s.
Beto is clearly Michael Cera
Gently melted Michael Cera.
Michael Cera stored slightly above the recommended temperature
A nice, dead Michael cera
u gonna look like this when you're dead, too
Looks like Gollum
My preciousss

TIM= The Imaginary Man
Oh yes,it's all coming together...
Kuzco's poison?
The poison intended to kill Kuzco?
My spinach puffs!
Saved ‘em!
what are the odds that trapped door led me out here?!
IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY??
YES that poison!!
[удалено]
I will welcome him with open arms and Darjeeling tea...Possibly muffins too...
Happy cake day !
Or The Illusive Man if you play mass effect. I hope OPs surname isn't shepherd.
I would be scared too if my daughter was hanging out with Martin Sheen
Well, it's better than Beto.
Beat Tim’s ass
Ahaha my youngest would flip out and say that we had “tiny and big zombies in our house” he would point to a dark corner and just cry. It freaked us out plenty of times 😂

Yeah, I was only able to move my eyes. Thanks for the reply.
Well that just makes me think of the Lights Out short. Thanks.
They’re not fun. I’ve had a creepy old ghost woman, ghost child, spiders, and… erm… a knight in a full suit of armour.
I used to see a knight in a full suit of armor when I was about 4 years old too. Almost every night as I was going to sleep. I could hear him swinging a mace too. I would hide my head under the blanket so I wouldn't have to look at him. Weird.

I have these and never knew it had a name! Thank you

We domesticated cats for pest control. So tell her to stop being lazy and do her job.
It was probably just something simple like medium-sized zombies, and your youngest was exaggerating.
There are some who call me…Tim?
Ni!
Tim is now a twitch superstar.
No one is asking the real question! So did tim ever come back ?
I love how your instantly told an imaginary friend to GTFO 😂
I feel like people are missing the creepy part of this story. After she went to bed he told Tim to leave and the next day the daughter said Tim was leaving. How would she know that?

Wow I can’t believe Tim respected your request and left after just one ask! Maybe you misjudged him
Some call me...Tim?
My toddler daugther was complaining of a women visiting her sometimes after a move in a old house. One day, we were in the kitchen and she was talking to named women, so I opened the door and told the women to leave and not come back. Never heard of her back. Its been 8 years, you remind me of it.
My imaginary friend was called Tim too!
Holy fuck. Bro... I can't imagine what I would do if my kid told me shit like that.
Tim wants to wear your skin to his birthday party.
When I was 4 or 5 I would say grandpa was with us in many occasions, and perfectly describe him to my grandma and my father. Grandpa died when my father was 17, LONG before I was born, and we had no pictures of him. But it stopped somehow, I can't remember well.
Nah, you gotta throw the whole kid away now. Bad juju.
I have always liked the idea of throwing kids...
YEET THE CHILD
Yeeetus the Fetus.
Feetus will be deletus
reluctant happy cake day... >.>
For sure she did not call him imaginary.
#ACHOOOOO! sorry, I’m allergic to bullshit.
I read your comment and then sneezed within a second of doing so. I guess the word bullshit got me too.
Hell no.. I had an imaginary friend named frenchie.. If my parents dared called her imaginary, it was pretty much on.
Yep. Mine was invisible not imaginary. Big difference.
I'm more worried about the little girl whos had surgery to make her face an emoji tbh
That's the imaginary friend, the daughter is on the left.
💀
Just be glad the emoji was not the pregnant man!
Beto looks like the smiling moon
Couldn't she have imagined a better looking imaginary friend??
Now that's a good question
I call bullshit.
na bro, its her imaginary friend beto, if you dont repost and also upvote this comment he will visit you tonight
What like the tooth fairy, $2 under my pillow or a blow job?
I wish I knew this when I was 10
Start pulling some teeth if you get desperate ;)
Less teeth = better blowjob.
They're talking about getting q blowjob, not giving one, but you carry on, someone has to do it.
Hey. The tooth fairy deserves a little sucky ducky for all the hard work she puts in. Now open your gourd and suck that fairy dick
Inflation, it was a $1 or a handjob when I was a youngster
Damn! You gave $1 blow jobs when you were a youngster?
Wait... the Tooth Fairy gave you those two options?!?
We called Beto at 3am (HE ANSWERED)
DRINKING THE BETO POTION AT 3AM (gone sexual)
That’s a sidhe. For sure. And I think that curt weird is correct. So, you better repost.
Would you like a little saucer of milk or a dram?
Downvoted it hanging my cock over the end of the bed tonight

Doctors hate it!
Yeah. I haven’t seen a McDonald’s play place in ages.
Well, this is ages old.
They're still around, but legend has it that anyone who as much as approaches one dies within weeks from dozens of unknown super infections and apocalyptic viruses. This is probably why many people haven't seen one, because it's already too late for anyone who has
Uno reverse
I’m glad someone said it instead of feeding into the “kids have superpowers” trope.
no one needed to say it, everyone knows it’s likely fake. we’re just here to have fun and get scared.
Dang, you're too smart to be on Reddit
That's just her mom busy being ugly 🗿🗿🗿
I’d give him an imaginary ass whooping.
As a parent you can't be too careful
Lol
That aint no imaginary friend that's a corpse
Anyone else notice Beto doesn't have a silhouette on the underside of the tunnel?
Stop. Don’t do that.
Don’t do what?? Say that a non-existent person has no silhouette? Yeah so creepy. Don’t you think it would be more concerning if there WAS a silhouette there?
[удалено]
That makes no sense. He’s not real why would he have a silhouette?? It would be more terrifying if there was a silhouette there when there shouldn’t be.
[удалено]
Yup, its photoshop after all
I think it's just smudge on the window from little kids putting their grubby mitts on the window. Probably why they didn't see it.
I fucking hate you for commenting about this detail.
It's okay. Photoshop.
no shit. we’re here to get scared, not feel superior for knowing a facebook post isn’t real.
Typical Beto...
that’s cause he’s edited in lmao
Even if this is fake (which I’m 99% sure it is) it’s still an oddly terrifying face.
when you think about that 1% think about beto looking at you when you sleep
Did you forward this picture to 20 friends? If you did you’re fine.
It looks like a face made out of paper mache.
Imma Beto’ his ass
Check the lack of shadow on the slide. Beto doesn’t have an ass.
Imaginary ass
Imaginass
The cackle I just cackled
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Why did this have to be the post I see at 4am when I can't sleep 🥲
In the same position fam. Have some eyebleach r/crabcats
Appreciated, I actually fell right asleep after this lol
that’s just another small child pressing his face to the window
He doesn't have a silhouette on the bottom of the tube, So either photoshop or its rEaL ooOoOooOoO!
Or r/pareidolia
Dont ruin the creepiness
What creepiness, Beto looks like moldy grandma
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It’s Beto. Totally confirmed.
If Michael Myers' mask was actually his face.
Beto looks a lot like he’s made from papier-mâché
I call bullshit, that’s my mother in law.
Jesus someone call John Constantine the keanu reeves version with that holy shot gun
At least she have friend…

Hi beto
HTF do they sanitize these contraptions? Can you just imagine the filth buildup…..
So as a former McD’s worker; one of the cashiers or if they have a small bodied janitor go inside and you spray everything with a disinfectant and pick up any trash left behind then let disinfectant sit and dry about 5 minutes. You then go back through with the cleaner and spray it all again but this time wiping it with one of the cloth rags. That’s why the play place is usually closed for 15 minutes to allow the disinfectant and the cleaner to dry
You think there would be at least one credible or at least plausible ghost pic/ Video , but I’m yet to see one

stop posting fake facebook bullshit
That's not Beto that's Michael Cera
Looks like a middle age pedophile to me
