  1. 0:00years ago i did a somewhat lighthearted
  2. 0:02video about the creepiest children's
  3. 0:03drawings
  4. 0:04i made jokes about a lot of them but a
  5. 0:06few on that list did seem like they
  6. 0:07might have had some sinister backstories
  7. 0:10over the years i've gotten a handful of
  8. 0:12kids drawings with backstories emailed
  9. 0:14to me
  10. 0:14today i'm going to be compiling a few of
  11. 0:16those into this video
  12. 0:19this was the drawing made by a
  13. 0:21six-year-old boy in 2012.
  14. 0:23the picture was found in his room by his
  15. 0:25older sister tracy who sent this to me
  16. 0:27who was 14 at the time
  17. 0:28and she showed it to her parents in the
  18. 0:31picture is the family around the dinner
  19. 0:32table
  20. 0:33drawn in a typical six-year-old skill
  21. 0:34level the reason tracy showed it to her
  22. 0:37family
  23. 0:37is because she could recognize all the
  24. 0:39family members at the dinner table
  25. 0:41even the family dog and cat who she
  26. 0:43couldn't recognize
  27. 0:44was the man sitting on the floor kind of
  28. 0:46behind the table
  29. 0:48tracy said in her emails to me that when
  30. 0:49she was asking her little brother who
  31. 0:51that man was
  32. 0:52he kept shrugging his shoulders and
  33. 0:53saying he's not allowed to tell
  34. 0:55the man was drawn to be dressed in all
  35. 0:57black and has reddish brown curly hair
  36. 0:59as you can see
  37. 1:00because of her little brother's refusal
  38. 1:02to explain who that fifth person in the
  39. 1:04picture was
  40. 1:05she showed it to her parents explaining
  41. 1:06that he likely had an imaginary friend
  42. 1:08or was pretending to be seeing ghosts
  43. 1:11after the parents confronted the child
  44. 1:12at dinner asking who the man in the
  45. 1:14picture was
  46. 1:15the boy made a pouty face and shrugged
  47. 1:17his shoulders
  48. 1:18he did this anytime they asked with the
  49. 1:20most detailed answer from his mouth
  50. 1:21being
  51. 1:22i'm not allowed to tell the parents
  52. 1:24specifically the dad
  53. 1:26weren't fazed by it as really a
  54. 1:27six-year-old could draw anything and
  55. 1:29create some kind of crazy story in their
  56. 1:30head behind it
  57. 1:32tracy would be responsible for watching
  58. 1:34her brother often when their parents
  59. 1:35weren't home
  60. 1:36and one day when she was left in charge
  61. 1:38of watching him she heard her brother
  62. 1:40talking to someone in his room
  63. 1:42upon getting to his room she learned he
  64. 1:44was just playing with his toy car set on
  65. 1:46the floor
  66. 1:46talking to most likely himself as he
  67. 1:48played
  68. 1:50tracy asked if he was talking to anyone
  69. 1:52he looked at her and shrugged his
  70. 1:53shoulders again
  71. 1:54pouting his face tracy then noticed some
  72. 1:57candies on the floor of her brother's
  73. 1:58room
  74. 1:59a specific kind of green apple flavored
  75. 2:01candy that she'd never seen her mother
  76. 2:03buy before
  77. 2:04she asked him where he got this and he
  78. 2:06ignored her going back to
  79. 2:08playing tracy took the candies and that
  80. 2:10angered her brother
  81. 2:11yell and give them back she waited until
  82. 2:14her parents returned home to ask if
  83. 2:16either of them had bought the unusual
  84. 2:17candy
  85. 2:18since the boy was only six and it was
  86. 2:20summer break aka receiving the candies
  87. 2:22at school wasn't even a possibility
  88. 2:24the random candies appearing in the boys
  89. 2:26room became a concern
  90. 2:27even as the boy was scolded and pressed
  91. 2:29by his parents as to where he got the
  92. 2:31candies from
  93. 2:32he still just made his pouty angry face
  94. 2:34and ignored them
  95. 2:36the boy was grounded by his father until
  96. 2:38he would answer the question
  97. 2:39so he wasn't allowed to leave his room
  98. 2:42the family checked the closets in his
  99. 2:43room under the bed even the closets
  100. 2:45outside of the room
  101. 2:47the idea that someone was inside of the
  102. 2:48house was out the window
  103. 2:50on that same night that he was grounded
  104. 2:52tracy sat close to her bedroom door
  105. 2:54instead of on her bed
  106. 2:55so that she would easily hear if and
  107. 2:57when her brother in the next room would
  108. 2:58start talking
  109. 3:00and sure enough when he did which to
  110. 3:02note was way past her brother's bedtime
  111. 3:04she jumped up and ran to his room opened
  112. 3:06the door and saw her little six-year-old
  113. 3:08brother standing at his open window
  114. 3:10talking to a man who looked as though he
  115. 3:11were about to climb into the room
  116. 3:13tracy screamed for her mom and dad
  117. 3:15causing the man at the window to flee
  118. 3:17and her brother began to cry once tracy
  119. 3:20told her parents that a man was talking
  120. 3:21to her brother through his window
  121. 3:23the police were called the boy still
  122. 3:25refused to talk at first
  123. 3:27but with the police there he eventually
  124. 3:29said that his friend told him not to
  125. 3:30tell anyone about him or that he
  126. 3:32couldn't come and play anymore
  127. 3:34when asked his friend's name and age he
  128. 3:36said he didn't know
  129. 3:38when asked what the two of them would do
  130. 3:39the boy said he would come with snacks
  131. 3:41and candies for him and just play with
  132. 3:42toys
  133. 3:44when asked how they met he said they met
  134. 3:46in front of the house one day when the
  135. 3:47man stopped on his bike
  136. 3:48and gave him some candy after offering
  137. 3:51to come back with more candies and
  138. 3:52snacks
  139. 3:53tracy's brother told him which bedroom
  140. 3:55window was his
  141. 3:56and that's when this started
  142. 4:01submitted to me all the way back in 2015
  143. 4:04this was sent by a mother of two
  144. 4:05children
  145. 4:06a six-year-old boy and an eight-year-old
  146. 4:08girl almost every night between the
  147. 4:10hours of 12 and 5 a.m the boy would come
  148. 4:12to the parents bedroom crying that he
  149. 4:14scared because someone or something was
  150. 4:15in his room at the edge of his bed
  151. 4:18the boy would claim that every night the
  152. 4:19person or thing would come out from his
  153. 4:21closet and move to the same spot at the
  154. 4:22foot of his bed and just stand there not
  155. 4:24moving
  156. 4:25the first few times the parents would
  157. 4:27check the boy's bedroom just to make him
  158. 4:28feel better
  159. 4:29the closet door would always be opened
  160. 4:31when questioned why the closet door was
  161. 4:33always open when it was supposed to be
  162. 4:34shut
  163. 4:34he would claim that it was because he
  164. 4:36was telling the truth about the thing in
  165. 4:37his closet
  166. 4:38every time the parents would show their
  167. 4:40son that the closet was empty
  168. 4:42he would go back to sleep their
  169. 4:44eight-year-old daughter never had any
  170. 4:45similar issues to this
  171. 4:47for a few nights the parents would let
  172. 4:48him start sleeping in their room on the
  173. 4:50floor with a blanket
  174. 4:52eventually though after this had been
  175. 4:53going on for too long the parents
  176. 4:55decided to humor him one more time
  177. 4:56and asked him to draw what the thing at
  178. 4:58the foot of his bed looked like
  179. 5:01his drawing sent chills down his parents
  180. 5:03spines
  181. 5:04in the drawing was some grudge-like
  182. 5:06figure that seems like it would be
  183. 5:07enough to give a grown man nightmares
  184. 5:09let alone a six-year-old boy there also
  185. 5:12appears to be something at the window
  186. 5:14and when questioned about this the boy
  187. 5:16said that he sees it at the window
  188. 5:17sometimes too when it's not at the foot
  189. 5:19of his bed
  190. 5:20the parent's solution to this was moving
  191. 5:22their son's bed to the spare bedroom
  192. 5:23across the hall that didn't have any big
  193. 5:25closets
  194. 5:26the mom who submitted this couldn't help
  195. 5:27but get a little creeped out herself at
  196. 5:29the drawing
  197. 5:30and every time he would come crying to
  198. 5:31their room in the middle of the night
  199. 5:35this third and last one is little
  200. 5:37different in that it's a mix of drawings
  201. 5:39and writing and there's three different
  202. 5:40pages of it
  203. 5:42this was found by the new babysitter of
  204. 5:44an 11 year old boy named
  205. 5:45rocco in ottawa canada the babysitter
  206. 5:48who i'll refer to as alyssa
  207. 5:50was needed while the parents of rocco
  208. 5:51were away for a week
  209. 5:53according to alyssa rocco was very quiet
  210. 5:56and kept to himself most of the time
  211. 5:58he would stay in his room for a majority
  212. 6:00of the day and would only come out to
  213. 6:01get food from the fridge or to go
  214. 6:03downstairs to play video games
  215. 6:05alyssa tried to befriend the child the
  216. 6:07first day but eventually gave up
  217. 6:08after realizing rocco either didn't like
  218. 6:10her or was just a very unfriendly creepy
  219. 6:13kid in general
  220. 6:14alyssa would spend the majority of her
  221. 6:16shifts doing schoolwork and watching
  222. 6:18movies
  223. 6:19she knew rocco had an obsession with
  224. 6:21guns because of the amount of toy guns
  225. 6:22he had
  226. 6:23they would lay across the house in
  227. 6:25varying rooms ranging from nerf guns to
  228. 6:28airsoft guns to varying types of toy
  229. 6:30guns
  230. 6:31alyssa had never been in rocko's room
  231. 6:33yet though but one night when alyssa was
  232. 6:35having trouble sleeping
  233. 6:36she heard rocco sneak into her
  234. 6:38designated bedroom and was just standing
  235. 6:40by the doorway
  236. 6:42she sat up in her bed and asked rocco
  237. 6:43something wrong then she just closed the
  238. 6:46door quickly and she heard him running
  239. 6:47back to his room
  240. 6:48the next day alyssa went into rocco's
  241. 6:50room for the first time
  242. 6:52rocco wasn't in there and the light was
  243. 6:54off this meant he was in the basement
  244. 6:56playing video games
  245. 6:57as those were the only two rooms he'd
  246. 6:59ever be in according to alyssa
  247. 7:00he didn't even seem to seek hanging out
  248. 7:02with friends
  249. 7:04sprawled out on rocco's floor where a
  250. 7:06bunch of papers
  251. 7:08the first piece of paper that caught her
  252. 7:09attention was this drawing of a handgun
  253. 7:12it wasn't anything really alarming it
  254. 7:14just further demonstrated his fixation
  255. 7:16on guns
  256. 7:17alyssa dug through the papers though and
  257. 7:19found four pieces of paper stapled
  258. 7:21together with three different staples
  259. 7:24they formed what could best be described
  260. 7:26as a little storybook
  261. 7:28the first page looked to be the cover
  262. 7:29page titled the babysitter
  263. 7:31immediately alyssa assumed this little
  264. 7:33book was about her
  265. 7:34but not wanting to get caught reading it
  266. 7:36she took pictures of each page of the
  267. 7:38little booklet
  268. 7:39as well as a picture of the handgun
  269. 7:40drawing and left the room to go read it
  270. 7:42on her phone elsewhere
  271. 7:44these were the pictures she had taken
  272. 7:46this was the second page
  273. 7:48rocco wrote on it it was a regular day
  274. 7:50in the house
  275. 7:51when mom and dad brought over the
  276. 7:52babysitter for the first time
  277. 7:55there's something about her that i hate
  278. 7:57i think it's how ugly she is
  279. 7:59she's a huge nerd i don't want her in
  280. 8:00the house not sure why my mom and dad
  281. 8:03hired her
  282. 8:04i think i'm gonna have to kill her the
  283. 8:07drawing on the page is what's supposed
  284. 8:08to be alyssa sitting on the couch on her
  285. 8:10phone
  286. 8:11and rocco spying on her through the
  287. 8:13doorway
  288. 8:15this was the next page it's day three
  289. 8:17and she's still here
  290. 8:19parents think i'm a baby or something
  291. 8:20that needs an annoying ugly babysitter
  292. 8:22that eats all our food and drinks
  293. 8:25in this drawing rocco appears to be
  294. 8:26grabbing a kitchen knife while alyssa's
  295. 8:28in the fridge
  296. 8:29the child's disdain for his babysitter
  297. 8:31becomes increasingly apparent in a
  298. 8:33disturbing manner
  299. 8:35but the next and last page is by far the
  300. 8:37worst
  301. 8:38it says she caught me sneaking into her
  302. 8:40room i have to be quieter next time
  303. 8:43the picture is quite obviously rocco
  304. 8:44holding a knife behind his back while
  305. 8:46alyssa lay asleep in her bed
  306. 8:48the implications of this picture are
  307. 8:50beyond transparent
  308. 8:51alyssa returned to rocco's room while he
  309. 8:53was still in the basement
  310. 8:55and lo and behold found a small kitchen
  311. 8:56knife on his bedside nightstand
  312. 8:59alyssa sent the pictures of the drawings
  313. 9:01and knifed to rocco's parents and then
  314. 9:02called them
  315. 9:04at first the parents tried to convince
  316. 9:05her he must be joking around
  317. 9:07but they were apparently easily
  318. 9:08convinced that rocco could have
  319. 9:10monstrous intentions
  320. 9:11they had rocco's grandmother take over
  321. 9:13that same day
  322. 9:15alyssa left the house never informing
  323. 9:16the police or any other authorities
  324. 9:19she accepted her payment for the two
  325. 9:20weeks that night and she accepted the
  326. 9:22parents apologies
  327. 9:23but not without recommending that they
  328. 9:25take their son to get some serious help
