Black-eyed kids are a contemporary American urban legend of paranormal creatures that resemble children between ages 6 and 16. These so-called children have pale skin and black eyes, and otherwise appear completely normal. Though a few stories claim they wear outdated clothes or have talons for their feet. While there is nothing at first that may seem alarming, reports often state that the children give off a feeling ranging from unease to anxiety to outright terror. Their voices, however, are said to be enticing and compelling- urging you to trust them. They are reportedly found hitchhiking, panhandling on the street, standing quietly alongside a dark country road, peering in through your windows at night, or standing on your doorstep. Their goal? To climb into your car or enter your home, perhaps to make a phone call to their parents…and they are very insistent about being allowed in.
Join us this week as we discuss this strange phenomenon with some chilling tales of supposed encounters through time. So sit back and relax. Also, be wary if the doorbell rings and you find kids standing there asking to be let in. They may have black eyes.
