Although it is rare for the feeling of the uncanny to be mentioned in the literature on child analysis, nevertheless this feeling often occurs in children. Children seem to be very sensitive to the experience of the uncanny, although they might refer to it as "funny." Children's literature often makes use of the uncanny. Denis reviews several cases. He would include eight-month stranger anxiety and Lacan's mirror stage among the uncanny feelings that a child must deal with. The clinical as well as theoretical problems raised by the experience of the uncanny in children are therefore numerous.
