Letting kids draw, paint, etc. is a fantastic, powerful parenting technique. Not only does it let children explore creativity while stopping them being distracting, but it also gives you windows into what they are thinking/experiencing.

That second story about that poor boy is so damn depressing. The fact that nearly being burned alive in a house fire by his own parents meant something to him was so gut-wrenching. I hope that kid is doing better wherever he may be.
edit: Mr. Nightmare has clarified in one of the other comments that the boy was adopted and the school was made aware of what had happened but this teacher was not, so that explains her reaction. I’m glad that he’s at least with a much better family and hopefully can heal from that experience.

Jess drew Lucia as sunny, smiling, and in pretty polka dots. It’s was a very positive picture. I think he4 aunt is a friendly being who is watching over her niece. Maybe just keeping an eye on what they talk about to make sure it stays that way would be safe enough. I don’t feel any malevolence

Putting the creepiness aside in the first story, Jess is a really good artist! It's very neat and clean.

This is why parents should always listen to their kids no matter how outrageous the story is

The story about the burning house was a bit of a let down at the ending. I feel like there was more to the story that was left out. What did the teacher do about the drawing? Did she ask the kid for more information? Did she ask the parents or whoever is responsible for the boy about the drawing? If it was a true story or the boy just made it up?

My son started claiming to see a boy in his room when he was 7 shortly after we moved into our new house, and drew a picture of this boy for me. It’s pretty creepy, with dark hair and empty eyes. He’s 8 now and although he hasn’t seen the boy in a while, he still stands firmly by his story. Couldn’t find anything in the 30 year history of the house to tell us who he might have been seeing.

What makes the monster drawing in the 3rd picture more eerie is the fact it has 6 fingers in each hand

You got to admit, the sister in the 3rd story is an awesome sister. For noticing that there was something off
about the drawing her little brother had done and wanting to find out what it was about.

Not to mention, letting the parents know what was up with the drawing.

I feel Lucia was lovingly watching over and checking in on her niece. While I understand the parents' fear, they needn't have worried as passed-over loved ones are like guardian angels - they are deeply loving, kind and protective, the same as they would have been on Earth physically.

I never got why people would be scared of deceased relatives peacefully visiting loved ones. Same vein as the first story. My niece had night terrors for a few months when she was a toddler. As fast as it started, my sister said they stopped. My niece creeped us all out by saying, she'd see shadows surround her bed to scare her. Then one night an old lady that looked like her grandma (my mom) showed up, made them leave and promised she'd stay with her so she can sleep.
We all thought, good imagination.
Years later, at my parents house, my mom was showing old pictures. My niece got all excited, pointed at one, said that was the old lady that helped her. It was one of my grandma, my mom's mom. Who passed away 10 years before my niece was born.
Instead of creeping me out, it made me smile knowing, she's still looking out for her family.

Yeah, I remember drawing a mushroom cloud over a desert landscape in class one day that really ticked off the teacher to a point where I was taken by hand to see the councilor. They thought I might had Schizophrenia when in reality it was my interpretation of the documentary I watched on the History Channel about the Mahattan Project over the weekend.

My daughter drew a horrifying picture when she was 2 about my grandmother dying of an accident and believe it or not 2 weeks later...it happened! Keep up the great stories Mr. Nightmare!! We all love them!!!

[SychicGamer]

The third story with the scratch marks is definitely one of the creepiest. Physical harm to a child is a line too far crossed

[sleepipixl]

i can feel a sadness taking over me thinking about the child who drew the burning house, i really hope he is safe and happy now and lives with people that love and protect him from all harm.

[jordanbroerman]

That 3rd story of the girl getting scratched is truly really scary, like horror movie level scary I couldn't imagine going through something like that.

I took a clinical mental health for children class for grad school. Drawing is frequently used in therapy and weird or disturbing drawings seem to be relatively common. It is a great way for kids that may otherwise be non verbal to communicate things

[SaltyWitch]

My daughter was friends with two little neighbor girls, they would come over and draw the darkest and scariest pictures you’ve ever seen. All in black and blood in red. They moved, but I hope they’re doing okay, because those pictures still haunt me

[charliebell]

I think these child drawings with creepy backstories are my favorite vids.
Children come across so many different things and this shows us an opening to a world that we have/haven’t experienced, or possibly forgotten

[JustTooDamnHonest]

This is why parents need to listen to their children no matter how insane it sounds for children are more aware than people tend to think they are.
