The old adage goes that children say the funniest things sometimes.

老話說，有時候最可笑的話是從小孩口中說出來的。

But they also come out with the most sinister statements too, according to a Reddit discussion where babysitters have revealed the creepiest thing a child has ever said to them in the absence of their parents.

但是小孩說的話也可能會非常詭異。紅迪網論壇上保姆們透露了父母不在場的時候，小孩們曾對她們說過的最恐怖的話。

From threatening violence to seeing ghosts and predicting their deaths, some posters were left understandably terrified by the macabre statements of their charges.

從威脅要使用暴力到看見鬼魂，再到預言保姆的死亡，在論壇上留言的某些保姆被自己照管的小孩令人毛骨悚然的言論嚇得不輕。

In less than 24 hours, over 2,200 people have commented on the thread and revealed their most shocking stories.

不到24小時，就有超2200人在這個主題下留言并吐露了自己的駭人經歷。

One user recalled babysitting after two little girls who were easy to look after, but used to make her promise that the 'white man' wasn't going to look at them while they were sleeping.

一位用戶回憶自己照看兩個小女孩的經歷，這兩個小女孩倒是很好帶，但是曾經讓她保證在她們睡覺的時候那個“白色的男人”不會看著她們。

The babysitter eventually asked the father about what they might be talking about.

這位保姆后來問女孩的父親，她們說的是什么意思。

His not very reassuring reply was that it was nothing to worry about, they were just talking about the ghost who lived in the house with them.

這位父親的回答卻不是讓人很安心，他說沒什么好擔心的，她倆說的只是和他們一起住在房子里的鬼。

Another babysitter encountered alarmingly threatening behaviour from a six-year-old boy he used to look after, who acted like a 'saint' around his parents.

另一位保姆則遭遇了他曾經照看過的一個6歲小男孩的威脅，這個小男孩在父母面前表現得像圣徒一般乖巧聽話。

Yet he would get close to his sitter's face and angrily say that he was going to pull out all of his eyelashes one by one if he didn't allow him to watch a film on TV.

然而，這個小男孩會湊近保姆的臉，憤怒地說如果保姆不讓他在電視上看電影，他就要一根一根地拔光他的眼睫毛。

Colieoh took to Reddit to say that a little girl once said she didn't want to go upstairs alone as there might be a man in her room.

一位名叫Colieoh的用戶在紅迪網上說，有個小女孩曾經說過，她不要獨自一人上樓，因為她的房間可能有個男人。

The babysitter said it was probably her father checking up on her.

保姆說，可能是她的爸爸過來查看一下她是否安好。

'She said no because this guy was tall and skinny and her dad was short and fat,' she explained.

保姆解釋道：“小女孩說不是，因為這個男人又高又瘦，而她的爸爸又矮又胖。”

Another little girl complained of seeing people and said that there were strangers under the porch - including her 'brother' who was stillborn.

另一個小女孩抱怨說她總是看到人，還說門廊下有陌生人，包括她胎死腹中的“哥哥”。

The creepiest thing she did though, was tell the babysitter 'your master wishes to see you in the pit' before turning and skipping away.

這個小女孩做過的最詭異的事情，就是告訴保姆說“你的主人想在地獄里見到你。”然后就轉身蹦蹦跳跳地走掉了。

Another Redditor said that they were watching a horror film when the child came downstairs, looked the babysitter dead in the eyes, and said: 'Do you want to die?'

另外一名紅迪網用戶說，他們正在看恐怖電影，這時候孩子下樓，死死盯著保姆說：“你想死嗎？”

Without hesitation, they told the youngster to go back to bed but when they put the film back, on a little boy around the same age uttered the same words to their mother on the screen.

他們毫不猶豫地讓孩子回去睡覺，但是他們回放剛才那一段電影時，看見屏幕上一個年齡相仿的小男孩對他媽媽說出了同樣的話。

It wasn't the only mention of death, as another babysitter recounted the time a little girl pointed her finger at her and said 'You're going to die on May 27th'.

這不是唯一一個提到死亡的孩子，另一名保姆回憶說，一個小女孩用手指指著她說：“你將在5月27日死去。”

She never clarified what year this unfortunate happening was due to take place.

她始終沒搞明白她的死期將在哪一年降臨。

Babysitters also spoke about how a lot of children saw imaginary people, with one boy staring at a wall and when told to lie down, said: 'Don't talk to him while we're playing.'

保姆們還提到很多孩子會看到想象出來的人，一個小男孩會盯著墻一直看，保姆讓他躺下時，小男孩說：“我們玩的時候不要和他講話。”

One little girl complained that she needed to go home when she was already in her house.

一個小女孩曾抱怨說，她得回家了，但是這個小女孩本來就在家里。

When the babysitter asked her what she meant, she simply sat up, stared at the babysitter for a few seconds and then slowly pointed towards the ceiling.

保姆問她這話是什么意思，小女孩坐起來，盯著保姆看了幾秒鐘，然后緩緩地指向了天花板。
