Related Phenomena - Black Eyed Children
|

Black Eyed Kids (sometimes called Black Eyed Children or BEK)
are said to be children with eyes that are solid black, with no
differentiation between sclera, pupil or iris. Those who report
encounters with them often feel that the children were somehow
supernatural and very dangerous. The first known sighting was
recounted in a 1997 usenet posting by journalist Brian Bethel.
Origin
In his initial post, Brian Bethel reported of a meeting with two
unusually confident and eloquent children who attempted to talk
him into giving them a ride in his car. Bethel said in his post that he
nearly opened the door to admit the children, even though he
found them vaguely unsettling, until he realized that their eyes
were completely black, with no iris or sclera. He reports that, as
soon as he realized this, the children became angry and insistent,
and he drove away quickly. His posting implies that the children
may have been using some form of low-level mind control to induce
him to open the car door.
Other Reports
Since Bethel's original post, there have been other reports of
similar experiences in other parts of the country. These accounts
are similar to Bethel's in that they generally involve the children's
request that the person let them inside their car or house,
frequently using an excuse such as "I need to get home to my
mother" or something that implies the child is in need of assistance.
Characteristics
Experiences involving the Black Eyed Children generally do not
explain the cause of the children's eye color (not to be confused
with Aniridia which is the lack of iris; Black Eyed Children have no
sclera or white either) or the origins of the children themselves.
Some imply they could be ghosts or demons.

More Black-Eyed People

The story of the Black-Eyed Kids inspired me to send in my story
because I think I ran into the adult version, though there was no
feeling that I would die:
It was a nice sunny day in November and I had been out running
some errands. I decided to stop at Starbucks on my way home to
get some tea. There were a lot of people at Starbucks, no surprise.
I got my tea, headed out the door, had to stop and organize myself
as my keys migrated to the bottom of the purse and I still had to get
my wallet in! So I plopped the stuff down on an open table and tried
to get my act together. I felt like I was being watched, so turned
around to give whatever to the perv that I assumed was watching
me, and the smart Alick remark died in my mouth as I caught sight
of him and made (inadvertent) eye contact.
I should note here: I did not see anything unusual in his manner of
dress. Jeans, black shirt, lightweight black jacket, (no hat, no
overcoat) not unusual dress. His hair was almost black, but didn't
look any darker than my boyfriend's hair (boyfriend is of Japanese
descent). His skin tone was a bit olive and pale but not overly so. It
was the eyes and the aura, coming off of him that scared me.
The eyes, blacker than black, no white at all, wall to wall black, and
I just felt a darkness around him, an evil. As I looked in his eyes, I
somehow KNEW that was not a human soul occupying that body,
and I felt that he knew that I knew that he was not human.
Interesting side note: three open tables around the table "he" was
sitting at, were empty, and stayed empty. People would just come
out the door, look in that direction, and leave. No one would sit
near "him".
I got the feeling that "he" was amused by this. That he could keep
humanity away and he was challenging me, "Are you going to run
away too?" My reply was "I am leaving because I was planning on
leaving." (All this was telepathic.)
I then broke eye contact, deliberately, and proceeded to get my
stuff organized and walked back to my car. Somehow, I felt that it
was important that I show no fear as he was still watching me. So I
held it to a walk, a fast walk, but a walk. I got in my car and left.
It spooked me pretty badly, but I now know that we are not alone in
this world. We share our world with others, non-human.
