Creepy stories about kids scares me the most, because thinking creepy about any child is so
foreign to me … yet such movies as “children of the corn” … scary … but one of
the most creepy urban legends about children is the “blacked eyed children” …
The black eyed
kids are a folk phenomenon of people having strange encounters with kids whose
eyes are entirely black, who insist upon entering their vehicle or home, and
who seem to ooze an overwhelming sense of fear and panic. As a fan of
paranormal talk radio I’ve heard hundreds of encounters with the black eyed
kids.
Black eyed kids will look like normal human children
between the ages of 6 and 16 but with pale skin and completely black eyes.
Additionally, people who have been in close proximity to
black eyed kids report a feeling of “unease” that washed over them. While
nothing about the children’s appearance (aside from the eyes) genuinely
frightened the people, they still reported feeling ranging from anxiety to
terror at their presence. Some people have also reported seeing black eyed kids
that have “talons” for feet or other demonic attributes, but most sightings are
of seemingly normal children.
Black eyed kids are also commonly described as wearing
dated clothing or dressing in a manner that is not typical of a normal child of
their age.
There are no reported stories of what happens when you
let a black eyed kid into your vehicle or home. All stories come from people
whose eerie feeling made them flee from the children.
The earliest sighting of a black eyed kid was journalist Brian Bethel in
1996.
In 2014, a British paper reported that sightings of black
eyed kids around the world are rising.
Theories about the black eyed kids are that they are
vampires, aliens, or of demonic origin.
