children can use drawing as a way of expressing feelings or emotions that they don't understand but sometimes children simply draw what's familiar to them so if a child is drawing pictures holding hands with strangers there might be something more going on there this is part three to children's drawings with disturbing backstories Martin and his wife are the parents of two children a six-year-old daughter and a three-year-old son Martin shared with me something disturbing that he and his wife had discovered recently their daughter who I'll referred to as Jess loves to draw and so they'd give
her all the art supplies she'd need to keep her quiet and entertained for hours they have an entire Crayola backpack full of art supplies that Jess uses filled with markers colored pencils crowns and construction paper Jess has piles of drawings in her room and even in her backpack and most of them are normal innocent drawings however one day Martin found a picture in Jess's room that he was kind of confused about at first it was a picture of some random looking woman holding Jess's hand but it didn't look like Martin's wife was blonde it was
a brunette woman Martin asked Jess who the woman was and she said it was the woman who would visit her sometimes sounds like something a six-year-old with an imaginary friend would say when Martin asked what her friend's name was Jess said Lucia this was immediately caused for alarm to Martin so he went to show his wife the picture and asked his wife if it looked like her sister at first his wife said it looks like it could be anybody but when Martin said her daughter said her name was Lucia she gave Martin this telling look
as if she immediately understood Lucia was the name of Martin's wife's deceased sister who died before either of the couple's children were born the couple went to the daughter's room and asked Jess who exactly Lucia was Jess again said she visits me sometimes trying to get more details the couple asked what time she usually visits and what do they talk about she responded something along the lines of she visits at night sometimes when I'm drawing Martin's wife asked Jess to draw another picture of her the next time she sees Lucia this time with more details
and Jess agreed to do so from now on Martin and his wife would keep Jess's Dora jar just so they could hear if Jess was talking to someone it wasn't until a few nights later that while in the kitchen the couple both heard Jess talking to someone in her room all of a sudden so the two went towards the room quietly to listen to what she was saying there were long gaps in between what Jess was saying but she was clearly talking to someone or something that didn't appear to be there because she seemed to
be answering questions that the parents couldn't hear being asked at one point Jess said they asked about you when they saw my picture of you they want me to draw you again then just stop talking completely and that was when Martin and his wife entered the room and asked if she were talking to Lucia again she nodded her head and they asked where in the room Lucia was just turned and looked around the room then focused on the corner and said she's standing right there Martin and his wife looked in the corner of the room
to nothing yet both of them agreed they felt an uneasy feeling in the room and were extremely uncomfortable Martin's wife said softly to Jess to draw what Lucia looks like right now down to every last detail and after Jess said okay Mom the couple left the room just didn't speak anymore and the parents were left feeling a little uneasy it was a short time later that Jess called her mom back into the room and so both Martin and his wife went back to her room and she presented a new picture this picture confirmed the couple's
fear this was the photo in this new photo with a lot more detail Jess Drew Lucia to have blue eyes a small mole above her lip and dressed in white Lucia was buried in white and had blue eyes and a small mole above her lip Martin's wife was never close with her sister having only attended the funeral for a short time and so Jess had never learned of her deceased Aunt yet there were also no pictures around the house that she could have seen Martin and his wife told Jess that they didn't want her talking
to Lucia anymore this was not because Lucia did anything particularly horrible in her life per se but rather that it was genuinely scaring the couple the couple at a priest Come Bless the house and ask any spirits to please leave in peace according to Martin they haven't had to deal with any further instances this was submitted by an art teacher from an elementary school twice a year with each class the teacher would hold what she called Draw and tell which would have the children draw anything that meant something to them and then tell the story
behind it this was with a third grade class as most students were drawing pictures of them and their families or pictures with their pets or any other number of things one boy was drawing what looked like nothing but fire the other kids at his table were noticeably glancing over and laughing at him as he did it and as the art teacher noticed this she went over to the boy and asked him why he was drawing fire he's supposed to be drawing something that means something to him the boy said I know I'm not finished yet
so the teacher let the boy continue to do his thing as the students were finishing up their drawings the teacher came back to the boy and now noticed that the boy had added a house to the drawing the teacher asked the boy to come with him to the hall and she took the drawing with them when in the hall the teacher asked the boy why he was drawing a burning house as this was completely inappropriate for a draw and tell the boy replied no it's not this is the house my parents tried to burn down
with me in it the teacher was speechless and didn't know what to say she kept the drawing and told him to take his seat and told him we're not going to do the draw until when they re-entered the classroom she sat at her desk for a moment fighting back tears and eventually announced to the class that everyone would be taking their drawings home with them instead of doing draw and tell this one comes from another parent who wanted to remain anonymous so all names will be made up Brad and Jane are the parents of Molly
who was five at the time of this happening Molly is a quiet and well-behaved girl according to her Father which makes this story even creepier Brad and Jane's bedroom is right next door to Molly's the night the strange events began is when Molly came to her parents room and said she's scared that something's in her closet Brad walked her back to her room and showed her the inside of her closet to assure her that no monsters were in there the next night Molly returned to her parents room saying there's a monster inside her closet again
this time Brad and Jane let Molly sleep with them and then the following day Molly drew a picture of the alleged monster she was seeing and showed it to her parents Brad stated the picture admittedly creeped him out but till this point this all just seems like normal child stuff until one of the next nights when Brad and Jane woke up to Molly crying and screaming they ran to her room to see what was wrong and she said I'm bleeding as she had her shirt lifted up on her back where what looked like two scratch
marks Molly claimed it was the monster Brad tore the bedroom and the whole house upside down looking for anybody that could have done it when the house proved to be empty Brad and Jane had no choice but to assume Molly probably did it to herself somehow either intentionally or accidentally But as time went on and the couple had time to think about it the chain of events seemed too crazy to just be coincidental while the couple had Molly E's back into sleeping alone Molly never changed her story that the monster was the one to scratch
her back to make her feel better about sleeping alone they moved Molly's Furniture to the spare bedroom and made that one her new room Molly came to her parents room a couple other times in the middle of the night but both times when asked if she saw the Monster again she said no I'm just scared luckily no bodily harm was done to her in her sleep again this following picture and story was submitted by Giovanna who had found this picture on her desk in her room because she allows her seven-year-old brother to use her desk
to draw on she found it strange from the beginning that her brother would leave this on the desk in the first place because normally he would take all his drawings with him back to his room and hide them but since he left this one she felt like he wanted for her to see it upon taking a look at it it looked like an innocent enough family drawing done by a seven-year-old but then tucked away in the corner is a black figure labeled the taking man Giovanna left this on her desk for a couple of days
before she noticed the man in the corner after looking at the drawing again the man is on a swing but the family doesn't have a swing set it could just be chalked up to the child being seven but he had never asked their parents for a swing set nor expressed any interest in one in general underneath the mysterious man labeled taking man appears to be some object which Giovanna thought May resemble a window or some kind of door in the ground so she went outside to go check out the lawn for any sort of door
window anything but there wasn't anything a few days later while in the bathroom which was across the hall from her brother's room Giovanna was washing her face when she heard her brother giggling and talking this could have just been him playing with his toys by himself but still after finishing up her skincare routine and rinsing off her face Giovanna went to go check on her brother his door was cracked open a bit so she looked in and saw him on the ground talking to something under his bed she quickly opened the door and her brother
got up and sat on his bed and turned his head to the TV upon asking him who he was talking to he said he wasn't talking to anyone under the assumption he was just playing around Giovanna went to sleep the next morning her brother woke up holding an empty glass asking if she could fill it with chocolate milk and so Giovanna went downstairs to fill his glass and come back up with a couple snacks for herself she went into her brother's room to oddly enough see him fast asleep she woke him up and handed him
the glass and he insisted that he didn't ask for it she knew he did though so she didn't argue with him and left the glass next to his bed that night around 4am Giovanna woke up to hear her brother talking again so she went across the hall to her brother's room and peeked her head inside and the last thing she remembers is hearing her brother talking to someone and seeing a black shadow in the room the next thing she remembers is waking up in her bed the next morning when confronting her brother he denied any
recollection of talking to anybody last night when Giovanna decided to tell her parents about the drawing and what she thought she witnessed the night before they had a talk with him and he told them that the person in the picture is the taking man and he takes things and brings them back I really trust him he's my best friend he also gives me red berries I think they're called cranberries now he won't come back Giovanna doesn't know if what she saw in her brother's room was a dream or not but she remembers it vividly and
says it didn't feel like a dream and yet if it weren't a dream she has no recollection of what happened after she saw that shadow in her brother's room her little brother hasn't spoken of the taking man since [Music]
