Strange Kid Tales - SNL

[@TheAmityElf]

Really proud of the kids for not breaking.

Falon should take notes on how to keep composure like that. :p But I'm amazed they didn't laugh, and the kid who managed to keep a dead eye expression the whole time was very good.

In 15-20 years they're gonna show this clip on a talk show and the host is gonna tell the audience "I don't know if you guys know this, but (boy's name) was actually on SNL as a kid!" and the quality of the footage is gonna look all outdated and stuff. I'm calling it!!! 😂

2 things: 1) I could imagine this actually being a show on the SyFy channel or even possibly the History Channel. 2) The SyFy channel is more historical then the History Channel, and the History Channel has more Scify then the SyFy Channel these days.

[@NathanDowdyMedia]

About a decade ago I worked on a show for the History Channel called "The Ghost Inside My Child". One story we did was with a young boy who allegedly remembered his time in WWI, spoke German without being taught, and recognized himself in a history book. His whole family was comfortable with it, and I remember the time I was on a walk with his older sister when she revealed to me that she believed that she was HIS REINCARNATED WIFE. I got off that show and didn't look back 😂

[@rugr82day]

There are TikTok compilations on KZbin of "What's the creepiest thing your child ever said to you?" Many of the stories were definitely creepy.

[@FashAveGirl]

Yes I would love it!

[@Ahsatan-vw3ok]

@@rugr82day i think part of the reason kids can come across creepy is because they don't always have a full grasp on words/grammar. Not saying they don't say some genuinely creepy things, but like for example, one 6 year old was admiring my hair and called me the "black rapunzel" when I'm very much white (but I have very dark brown hair, so her sentence just came out a little wrong and meant something very different than she intended). She seems pretty intelligent and fluent compared to some of the other kids, but she's just young. But trust me, my youngest sister said and did some scary ass shit when she was a toddler, so I know how weird it can be. She'd straight up hold the hand of invisible people with names like Foolah, Gloona, and Ghoula and she'd have conversations with these "people." Watching a 3-4 year old walk down steps with their hand out and talking as if an invisible person is there is something you dont unsee. Especially given that we had other strange things happen in the house. Like they said, invisible friends are always ghosts. She also said some things that could've hinted at a past life, like talking about Johnny cake, which is a thing, but obviously not something a toddler knows about since we didn't make it. There was more, and me and my other sister have also always been kinda connected to the paranormal, though we didn't have those kinds of imaginary friends. My other sister had 3 "friends," but not like holding their hands and having conversations like the youngest did. Not creepy shit, just normal kid stuff I guess

[@heavnnnsent]

And did you ever notice, the travel channel is not about travel but about weird unexplainable scary things. Makes no sense! Talk about a misnomer!
