20 Creepy Movie Kids To Put You Off Parenting

14. Cole Sear - The Sixth Sense (1999)

Poor Cole is an introverted, sad and troubled, lonely little boy. He is sent to child psychologist Dr Malcolm Crowe with whom he builds a sufficiently trusting relationship to confide that he sees dead people including an exhausted house wife who slit her wrists, a voice from a cupboard that insists it didn't kill its master's horse. The third ghost is a boy who has a shotgun blast at the back of his head and wants Cole to help him find his father's gun. Who on earth would want to parent a child that has such disturbing psychic phenonema? It would be totally soul destroying to know that your child is tortured by ghosts. No wonder Cole is so depressed. However, Dr Malcolm Crowe comes to the rescue. Finally he is convinced that the child is not delusional and these apparitions are very real. He encourages Cole to work with the ghosts and as a result, Cole comes out of his shell and begins to make friends at school - even winning the lead role in a play. He also tells his mother about the ghosts. So all's well that ends well but I would still rather not parent a child that sees ghosts. That promises a lifetime of creepiness.
