Today, I was heading to the bathroom when I clearly saw a little boy walking into my bedroom. My wife and I live alone, and I screamed at the top of my lungs, thinking he was a ghost. Turns out my wife collected him from school for a friend, and I just didn't hear them arrive. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I came home late from work. As I got out of my car, I noticed a child-shaped silhouette in my bedroom window. I almost shat myself, since I live alone. I searched the whole house, sobbing in fear, only to find no trace of whatever or whoever I'd seen. FML
Today, I went downstairs a little after midnight to grab a snack, and in the dark hallway, I clearly saw a small child walk into the kitchen. I was freaked out, but I followed him in. There was nobody in the room. I'm now too scared to sleep, and am seriously considering moving house. FML
Today, I was visiting my friend's new house and he was showing me around. I saw a small door in the wall and decided to open it. When I opened it, his daughter was hiding in there and screamed to scare me. Now I know my scream is more high pitched than his daughter's. I'm a 37 year old male. FML
Today, I was home alone. I didn't expect anyone to be anywhere near home, so when I got out of the shower, I walked to the living room, naked, to get the tv remote for my room. Only to find the UPS guy standing at our glass front door. I screamed... so did he. FML
Today, I walked into my near pitch-black bathroom and saw a person staring back at me. I woke my whole family up with my screams. The person was my reflection. FML
Today, I was woken up by the sound of someone in my room. I started freaking out, thinking someone had broken in, so I kicked them, only to realise it was my boyfriend coming back from the toilet. I'd forgotten he was staying over. FML
Today, I woke up to a stranger in my bed. Just as my parents responded to my screaming, I remembered that I'd helped my boyfriend sneak in through my window last night. FML
Today, I was walking to the kitchen in the dark. Something caught my eye and I turned to see a man standing in the corner, clear as day. I jumped and closed my eyes for a split second. When I opened them, he was nowhere to be seen. I'm now terrified to live in my own home. FML
Today, after waiting to get home to go to the bathroom, my six year old neighbor popped out and literally scared the shit out of me. FML
Today, my 10-year-old son told my 5-year-old daughter that we're a ghost family, and told her to run through our glass door to see for herself. She believed it, ran straight into the door, and ended up having to be taken to hospital. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I would've done the same thing. I've seen to many scary movies to know a little young boy in your house is a bad sign.

At first I thought his wife collected the boy from school to be her friend, and then it hit me

Reminds me of that other FML about a women saying she saw a man in the corner "clear as day" and that she lives alone.

It pretty clearly says his wife collected the child for a friend. Yes, collected.

I was referring to what it would be like at first glance. A random little boy in your house is quite scary. It's because they're so innocent yet so evil... I'm just glad if was a school child and not a ghost.

Either you edited your comment and took out the bit about 'the real question is whether he was just a ghost in Kid form' or whatever, or that comment got deleted and mine was a reply to the wrong one. Weird.

If the kid was a red head, that wasn't a child OR a ghost. "Hi, I'm Chucky! Wanna play?"

Ya I think I would have reacted the same man.

I couldn't agree any more with you! Because of scary movies, I second guess myself now. Normal people: Awe, what a cute little boy! Me: DEVIL CHILD.

Is anyone else reminded of the other FML that also had to do with a small ghost child? The OP of that one went to the kitchen around midnight and clearly saw a small child walk into the kitchen but when he entered the room there was no one there, and he lives alone.

You screaming probably scared him more then he scared you.

Your wife collected him...?

Yes, it is a figure of speech.

Got that, it's just a funny choice of wording.

Can't blame you. Ghost kids are scary.
kirrra 11
yes.
kirrra 11
ok that wasn't meant to be a reply to this comment. the app seems to be messing up comments at the moment.
kirrra 11
you're not wrong,I admit ghost kids are pretty scary. but I had honestly meant to reply to whoever asked "your wife collected him?"
IsThatAHorse 5
I really hope you didn't scar that little boy's life...
guitarbeast 22
Well I could understand you being freaked out, but was screaming really necessary?
Gigiluv28 0
Of course it was!!!
iliketurdles 7
Expressing yourself? Yes, I'd say so.
Isoldael 27
It was a stupid move! It would have attracted the ghosts attention. Ruuuun!

That's like saying: "Well I could understand you being hungry, but was eating really necessary?"
