FORTEAN FILES - The Black Eyed Children

It's a dark and rainy night. A cool wind blows, causing the trees to rustle gently. Everything seems very quiet, almost eerie. There is a knock on your door. Who could that be? Who would be out at this time? The knocks repeat. Rhythmic. Repetitive. Thump...thump...thump.
You peek through the curtains to see who is knocking. There are two figures on the porch. It is hard to get a clear view of them in the rain. You open the door. Two kids are standing there. They appear to be around twelve years old. You have never seen them before. They seem strange. Out of place. They want to come in. They want you to invite them into your house. You begin to feel odd talking to them. A little light headed, a little nauseous. Their speech is slightly off. Unnatural. Everything about them seems to be wrong. They stare at the ground as they speak.
Their skin is pale. They are wearing plain looking clothes. Jeans and hoodies. The clothes don't quite fit correctly. Their hoods are pulled up on their heads to protect them from the rain. Monotone voices ask you again to invite them in.You ask what they want, who they are. Slowly, they raise their heads to look at you. As you glimpse their faces you begin to feel panic as you realize that their eyes are black. Completely black. No whites of the eyes. No anything except black. And soulless.
You abruptly close and lock the door. You are sweating now. Breathing unevenly. They begin to knock again. Rhythmic. Repetitive. Thump...thump...thump.
Suddenly the knocking stops. You carefully peer through the curtains.There is no one there. You pull the curtains back all the way and look. Nothing. They are gone.
This is a typical encounter that people report. A typical encounter with extremely spooky entities known as Black Eyed Children. These encounters have been happening more and more in recent years. This phenomenon is one of the creepiest, scariest things that I have ever heard.
But what are these B.E.C.? There are many theories. Some think they are vampires because they seem to need to be invited into your home or your car. Like they are unable to enter without an invitation. Maybe they are demonic entities. Maybe they are related to one of my favorite subjects, the Men in Black. There are many similarities with MIB encounters. They usually are in groups of two or three, they act out of place, have a slightly off look and vibe, and seem to appear and disappear at will. Some believe the Black Eyed Children to be aliens, or alien hybrids. Maybe a cross between humans and alien grays. They may be Tulpas. Thought forms created by our own minds. Ghosts. Djinn. Maybe they don't exist at all. Urban Legends. I do not know what they are, or if they indeed do exist. I have never encountered the Children, and don't wanna, but I do find them to be a fascinating entry into the world of creepiness.
If nothing else, they make for great stories to be told around a campfire. Do some research on this subject. It's crazy.

If you want to read a multitude of accounts of stories like these I highly recommend a book written by David Weatherly titled simply, "The Black Eyed Children." This is a great book. A quick read with tons of super interesting information. One of my favorite books I have read in the past year.
Stay creepy my friends.
