‘Used to work in a “haunted” daycare centre (or it could’ve been just my coworker who constantly has ghost activity at her house bring them over hah) but the amount of times I’ve heard kids talking about a man… or the time I had one kid run into a completely dark room during home-time, when I finally caught up and did the whole running away spiel.. she goes “I just wanted to say goodbye to the man standing by himself in the dark!”…. Yes our centre was women only LOL
