I mentioned this in a post in Interfaith in the thread on night terrors. I thought I'd bring it over here as a thread itself as I think it deserves its own thread.

There are several documented cases of these children online and I guess many more who have seen them and just haven't written anything on them as of yet.

The children in question seem to be seen mainly around cars, hanging around, wanting a ride to somewhere. They provoke very strong reactions in people - fear namely. They have the strong urge to just get away and seem to know that it would be very, very bad to let the children in.

At first they cannot pinpoint what's "wrong" with these children, but they know they are not "normal".

Then, they realize what it is - all the children have totally black eyes. No irises, no white corneas, no pupils. Just black eyes.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Spooky as hell.

I did about 45 minutes of Google on this cause its freaky scary and I like freaky scary

I only found one other story and no pictures. It was about an apartment manager who says that a 17-18 year old boy came to see an apartment, no appointment. He had the all black eyes. Just like the two stories in your link, he was waiting to be invited in to where the person was, the main office of the apt. Usualy you can just walk right in or at least if you have to knock alot of people will just step in when the door is opened, its an office. She says he gave her a scared freaked out feeling, even before she took notice of the eyes. Just like your stories. No reports from countries other than the USA.

Black is a natural color for pupils and even irises. Having even the whites of the eye being black is not something I found any info on, short of those stories. A medical condition maybe? Something done with food coloring or plant dies? Colored contacts dont normaly cover the whites but we've all seen horror movies with zombies, vampires and such who have all black eyes. Its a special effect and Im sure could be duplicated on the street. Id say it was the black eyes alone that set people off but they say they were freaked out before noticing.

If I see any, I will stop and pick them up.

Ornamental contact lenses like the ones Marilyn Manson wears maybe?

It is freaky scary isn't it? That's what caught my attention.

The other thing that caught it, was the fact that people don't notice the eyes until later on in the incident. And they all respond the same way - with the extreme fear, fight or flight (flight) and somehow knowing if they let them in, they'd die.

As far as I know, traditionally and in folklore, the only preternatural being that has to be invited in is the vampyre. But, all these people stated they didn't think these kids were vampyres.

The way they disappear and the speed in which they move is spooky.

The fact that the one guy was killed in his car right in front of the other guy....And the guy who was killed HAD given the youngest a ride earlier. Remember?

I know contacts can change the eyes, as with ole Manson, but Manson still has white corneas, doesn't he? Also, I can't see kids 8 or 10 putting in contact lenses.

Thanks for taking the time to do that Google search, Aint.

No one else with any thoughts or comments?

This BEK (Black-Eyed Kids) things really spooks me. With MY luck I will run into them.

Hmmm...I really shouldn't have read this at this time of night!

Doesn't happen that often that I feel this chilled in an adrenaline flight or fight way. I even made sure I locked the doors before reading it!

Strange that there seem to be no other references to this since, what, 1998?

How can we tell this is factual rather than urban myth? Mind you, it makes for a pretty good start to a short story, way superior to Mr King.

well, we don't. But it's interesting to ponder what these children could be if they're telling the truth. If not, it's still a damn, good spooky story!

creepy...really creepy. I definitely don't want to run into these kids.

late at night here for me, I am going to check this story out in the day time, glad I read on the posts before I clicked on your post, Sangye.

Thanks for the warning guys.

I have heard of the black eyed children before, but I havent gone right into it.

I'm glad you've heard of them too, outtie. I can't wait to see what you have to say as I really highly regard your opinion on things like this.

Just been reading about the black eye children. Wasnt there a tv report on these children?

My theory is that these children are half or maybe 1/4 alien. It seems to me that they are wanting us humans for a reason. Might be that they want to do more testing on humans for research for health reasons on the new race the aliens had created.

There has been lots reports of people who had been abducted and seeing half human aliens.

I also am looking more into this, I put in "black eyed children" in the search engine and I came up with black eye peas...

I myself havent seen any of these children around, well not that I have noticed.

I think you're on to something, outtie! That would make sense.

That corresponds with a theory I had in high school. I had this strange idea that aliens were humans in a future we haven't reached yet, and that the purpose behind abductions was so they could study the way they used to be and try to prevent/better prepare for another event like the one that turned them into their current states. (which doesn't make any sense to me at all at this second...)

Sometimes I wish I knew where the thoughts in my head came/come from, because I'd love to know where I got the idea that aliens were from a future we hadn't reached yet... Man I wish I still had that notebook.

You know, they used to use those all-black-eyeball contact lenses quite a bit in the old original Star Trek series. Whenever they split Captain Kirk into the God Kirk and Evil Kirk, you could tell them apart because Good Kirk was all neat and wussy, and Evil Kirk was sweaty with mussed-up hair, and had those balck eye contact lenses.

I think that was the earliest use of them, although I might be wrong. Horror movies started using them after that as a common "special effect", and they did it just because it provoked such a strong response from people when the white of the eye was completely missing.

As far as reports of "children" and teens on the streeet with blacked out eyes, were any reports spotted before the 1960's, when the special effect was used on Star Trek? Do you think that exposure to this special effect through televisiona nd movies entered the mass psyche as a sign of "evil", so that people in a disturbed sense of mind started seeing this when they were frightened or suspicious?

Or is this a NEW THREAT we in Paranoia must brace ourselves for? All those sunglasses-wearing bastards in LA -- who knows what evil lurks behind those RayBans? DO NOT remove your silver foil suits! Obviously the world is still as unsafe as it ever was!

Trust no-one.

I've heard of the Black Eyed Children before ( Sounds like an episode of the X-Files,lol. ). Seriously, I believe anything is possible, I myself have seen things that were hard to explain, nomatter how hard I tried.

I have also heard of Black Eyed Kids. I think it may have been menetioned on "Coast to Coast", a late night/early morning AM radio before. My boyfriend is a often listener and told me about similar stories of these kids trying to get a ride from passing motorists. He said that people who meet these BEK start to let them in before realizing what they are doing. These BEK are purported to have a horribly evil laugh (not human)and vanish quickly.

I believe that is the primal instinct that all animals have when they encounter some form of danger that gives people who have met BEK the sense of fear they experience. People are able to sense when another person is evil or has a dark aura and generally try to avoid contact with said people. Next time your on a crowded street, watch how people will go out of their way to avoid contact with someone who has a dark aura. These people will avoid the dark aura unknowingly. Humans, at least here in the states, usually grow up with their parents telling us 'there is no such thing as ghosts, boogie man, night terrors, ect.' Our natural instincts are supressed to conform with society's beliefs that if you can't see, touch, weigh or measure it, then it just doesn't exist.

Yeah I believe I heard it on Coast to Coast with Art Bell a few years ago ( Is He still on? ).

Yeah but as I said before, I've seen too many things to say these children don't exist.

Art Bell still makes the occasional appearance. George Norrey (sp?) does the weeknight broadcasts.

I personally haven't ever seen any BEK, nor anyone that I know. Just passing along what I've heard.

I can't believe I'm reading this. And I thought I was the only one to hear about this, but more than that, I actually gave one of these BEK's a ride once a few years ago when I was driving through Virginia on Interstate 81 and had pulled over at a rest stop to use the bathroom. When I exited the rest room, this kid just materialized out of thin air directly in front of me. He had the black eyes, and they looked right through me. I couldn't talk. My lips moved, but no words came out. I thought I was having a stroke, and I could not account for approximately 15 minutes of time that day.

The next thing I know, I'm back on the Interstate driving towards Tennessee, and this kid is sitting in the front seat next to me looking straight ahead. I never pick up hitchhikers or let anyone near my vehicle, but there he was. He had a little green bag sitting on the floor between his feet, and he kept unzipping and looking inside the thing and then zipping it back up again. I never saw what was inside.

Well, I finally managed to get my voice back, but when I tried to ask him any questions about him or where he was going or anything, I would lose my voice again. I rambled on about the weather, traffic on the highway, that kind of thing, but he never responded to anything I said. Then a few minutes after we crossed the line into Tennessee, I heard something in my head say..."Slow down and turn here." It was not out loud, but I knew it was him doing it, sending me a thought message.

I pulled over at some log cabin looking restaurant, and he got out without a word. When I got back on the interstate, my eyes were watering and suddenly I felt very emotional about the planet and people dying from hunger and getting killed in wars and suffering from diseases. I can't explain why. I know what some of you are thinking probably, and the truth is I was not on any kind of medication nor was I then or now being treated for a mental illness. For the next two weeks I was profoundly aware of things that I had never even thought about previously. This kid was no ordinary human being I can tell you that much people.

Recently, I was talking to the priest down at the local diner, and this crazy BEK thing came up. He is the priest in the Hispanic neighborhood just up the street from the diner. He told me he had received a letter from an exorcist in Mexico concerning this same phenomenon, and the exorcist warned him it might just be another urban legend, then again it might indicate the presence of demons, as in demon possessed.

According to the exorcist, demons or evil spirits have the ability to transform themselves into human form (children) in order to be more favorably received, and to gain access to people's homes and cars. Once inside, they indwell that person and live inside their body.

That's why they say things like "You have to let me in." or "We can't come in unless you give us permission." This is how demons work. And another thing, they never give their real names because as any exorcist will tell you, the first step in exorcism is to name the entity which is possessing the possessed individual.

Demons and evil spirits can change the body chemistry of a possessed person. The blood gets all out of kilter, unexplained rashes occur, chronic digestion problems kick in, and waste elimination is erratic and problematic, and medications and or treatments do not work or relieve symptoms in such cases. The possessed person's health slowly deteriorates over time, and then the demon discards them and looks for a new host body.

My advice to anyone is to be very careful when approached by these BEK entities. They're demons looking for a new home. The black eyes are the result of the possessed person's DNA absorbing and transcribing the demon's genetic code. Eventually it will exit, taking all the essential genetic material it needs to transform itself again and again.

A friend who lives in the Andalusia region of Spain recently e-mailed me saying that she encountered 3 black-eyed children while visiting the town of Marbella. She was attending the festival of San Bernabe (Saint Bernard), the patron saint of the town, and had stopped to watch some gypsy women performing flamenco dances in the street.

As she was walking back to her hotel, she decided to take the scenic route and pass thru a grove of olive trees. It was there that she encountered the three black-eyed Gypsy children who spoke to her in an unknown language, which she later found out was Romani Chib. The weird thing is, she understood what they were saying in spite of never having heard the language before. They asked to go to her hotel room to rest because they said they had been walking night and day for three days.

This woman owns a fancy dress shop in her hometown, and is quite an astute businesswoman, one who does not normally take in strangers, even when she is on holiday. She remembers talking with them, and was astounded at their knowledge of all things, especially things concerning the spiritual realm. She does not remember them leaving, and woke up feeling as if she had been in the "company of angels" (her words).

Six days ago when I was driving through Marvel, Arkansas, I saw two black-eyed kids standing on ther side of the highway. I stopped and picked them up. A girl and a boy about 14 or 15 years old. They stared at me in my rear view mirror the whole time and I could tell they were reading my mind. One of them..the boy...said.."Do not worry, you will live to be 95." They got out in Sallisaw, Oklahoma when I stopped for gasoline. After they exited my car, I stopped having any chest pain.

Did you go through Forest City and Newport AR on your way back to Tulsa?

'CONSTANT VIGILANCE !' as my literary friend, MadEye Moody is fond of saying.. BEKs..friend or foe?.. ummm I-81.. too close.. thanks for taking him out of state Wake..

No. I never go that way because there's a time warp near there off the main road in the vicinity of an old rusty abandoned cotton gin. Over a period of 20 years, starting in the late 1940's and on thru the 60's, seven people disappeared without a trace. They all ended up on the road near this gin. Cars were found abandoned with the engine still running. Two local children on bicycles were among the missing.

Crop-duster pilots reported their instruments going haywire when they flew over the area. One crashed. Strange metallic dust was found in the field nearby, along with what appeared to be the translucent skin of some unknown reptilian shaped creature...which was never identified by reptile zoolologists from the University of Arkansas. I go the long way...via Helena and Brinkley. If you value your life, you'll do the same. Pale blue lightning has also been reported in the area.

Black-eyed children have been seen walking along the beaches in remote areas of Australia. They usually travel in small groups of two or three, four at the most. They look straight ahead and only speak when they need a ride to another part of the area. It is reported that they once revived a young surfer who had drowned. Then they disappeared from sight. Strange.

Yeah sure...back when I was working the strip in Vegas I'd see black-eyed kids on the street all the time. Sometimes they'd wander into a casino for a drink of water or a free meal, but the casino operators finally banned them because as soon as they walked in all the slot machines started going haywire and paying off jackpots left and right. It took a while to figure out it was the kids who were doing it. It was like their bodies were giving off some kind of positive energy or something.

World Headquarters is currently conducting an investigation into the Black-eyed Children phenomenon, and as soon as the findings of that investigation have concluded, the results will be posted here on this thread. Meanwhile, please remain inside your home with the doors locked, or if you are at work, remain in your cubicle and continue working as if nothing is wrong because chances are nothing is wrong unless of course you screwed something up and the boss is not aware of it yet, but thanks to one of your co-workers who seems to be doing her dead level best to get you fired, no doubt he soon will be made aware of it.

If a BEK tries to gain access to your home or office, please contact me here at the World Headquarters Building and a World Agent will immediately be dispatched to your location. Remain calm until he or she arrives. As always we here at World Headquaters will continue to monitor this and all other ongoing situations involving unexplained phenomena. Thank you and have a nice weekend. I am THE World Headquarters Man.

A person I know who works in the government tells me that Homeland Security is currently conducting an investigation into the Black-eyed Children situation. They seem to think the children might be some type of new terrorist sleeper cell. Time will tell.

Personally, I think they might be victims of cult abuse..as in religious cult...as in CoEA (Church of Enlightened Assumption) which in the past was given free reign to operate right here on this website in what is erroneously called the Paranoia Files. Who are they kidding? No one in here is paranoid that I can see.

The only people who are out to get you are these New Age CoEA crazies. Are the rest of us being slowly hypnotized while we post our messages? Is there some new software installed on the FM server which focuses in on our brains and lulls us into a trance? Will we all end up walking New Age zombies like these black-eyed children? Don't expect the administrators to do anything about it either.

There is no need for alarm, anonymous. Steps are being taken at this very moment to insure the safety and well being of all those who have come in contact with these Black-eyed Children entities. There is a BEC hitchiker alert in effect in all 50 states and Puerto Rica. Should you encounter one or more, please do not attempt to capture or detain them. Simply use your cell phone to make a BEC report to the nearest Federal BEC monitoring Office which is of course connected to the Homeland Security Department.
