* The titular children are ghosts that are trapped there. Although the children themselves are benevolent, there's a tree in the garden which the children called "Green Noah", inhabited by a demonic tree-spirit. The little poem about Green Noah is especially creepy:

** The maggots and snakes also count as this.
* The scene in the sixth book, when the Saxons are slaughtering the Britons.
