Toddler sees mysterious ‘Scary Boy’ at the cellar door, father leaves terrified

A video of a toddler warning his father about a “creepy boy” in their home has gone viral Instagram.

With more than 4 million views, two-year-old Charlie and his father Paul Gorton, 37, are seen sitting on the couch as the little boy points out: “There’s a scary boy over there.”

Gorton turns the camera around to show them alone in their house and then Charlie playing, but he continues to mention the boy.

Gorton said Newsweek that this isn’t the first time Charlie has said they have company.

“He said he saw a man recently, so maybe he found the boy’s father,” he said, adding: “It’s all crazy. We’re moving in February, so it’s someone else’s business. I just hope they don’t sneak in. moving van!”

The family currently lives in Manchester, England, on an old Victorian terrace.

“It’s complete with a haunted attic and basement,” Gorton said Newsweek. “There are things that have happened in the house before, but I just ignored it.”

When asked about the previous one paranormal activity, Gorton explained that once a loud bang came from the attic.

“When I looked up, the attic door was open,” he said. “I almost died inside and had to go upstairs to close it.

“It scared me when looking into the darkness of an attic was just hell. It was the wind or a demon! And the day after Charlie said he saw the boy, I went to the downstairs bathroom and the tap was running .

“I think it was Charlie playing, but he said it wasn’t him. So either he’s lying or it was a demon, both not ideal situations.”

During the video, which has over 203,000 likes, Gorton opens the closet door that also leads to the basement. He then reassures his son that there is “nothing there”, but then whispers to the camera that he is extremely scared.

“I hope it’s his imagination,” he said Newsweek. ‘I don’t believe in ghosts or anything like that, but Einstein didn’t believe in quantum mechanics and now look what happened. It’s fine, I think regardless of whether I believe it or not, the most important thing is to leave this house and move to a new construction home.”

Are ghosts real?

This is evident from a report from the University of South Carolina entitled Are ghosts real? A social psychologist examines the evidence, many people report experiencing ghosts through strange sounds, moving objects, or seeing unexplained lights and figures. However, ghosts do not exhibit characteristics such as aging or physical needs, which contradicts how matter behaves. Physics research has found no evidence for such phenomena, and there is no evidence that any part of a person survives after death, leading physicists to conclude that ghosts cannot exist.

Instagram responds

Instagram users might disagree, as the clip’s comments section has been flooded with parents sharing their spooky experiences.

“When my son was his age, he also saw a boy in our house and every time we passed the cemetery he would beg me to stop, so I did once. We walked and looked at all the gravestones. He couldn’t reading and he didn’t know anything about the history of our house. Suddenly he stopped, pointed to a stone and said, ‘That’s him.’ I said ‘who?’ and he said: ‘that’s him live in our house.’ It was the grave of the man who built our house. He didn’t talk about him after that,” one person said.

“I live in a 130 (year) old farmhouse. When my son was about four years old, he told me that ‘there are coins hidden in this house’ and when I asked how he knew, he said ‘that’s what I told’ BY WHO, SON??” said another user.
