Black Eyed Children

Should you trust children?

Black Eyed Children

Black-eyed children is an American contemporary legend of paranormal creatures that resemble children between ages 6 and 16, with pale skin and black eyes, who are reportedly seen hitchhiking or begging or are encountered on doorsteps of residential homes.
This paranormal phenomenon has also inspired some movies and books, however very few are reported.
These children do not look threatening. They would want to get in your house or your car. Suddenly, someone will notice something is not right about these children, and reality will hit them once they show their eyes.
A dozen of stories keep circulating, all following a very similar pattern. Kids with eyes completely blacked out appear at people's homes or vehicles, knock on the door, and then insist on getting inside to wait for family. Anyone who encountered them has almost immediately felt an overwhelming sense of dread.
Besides blacked-out eyes, these children typically appear normal. Sometimes, their attire seems outdated. Some people claim that these children have existed since the 1980s; however, most sources say that the legend originated in 1996 in posts written by a Texas reporter named Brian Bethel where he wrote about two alleged encounters with the black-eyed children.
People aren't sure how or why these spirits appear. Demonologists believe they are children of the devil himself and if you let them in, you are allowing the devil to enter your life. They want to enter your home to call their parents, however, upon making eye contact, it seems like there is a much more sinister plot to the story. They have been some stories, such as one from New England.
One of the stories goes like this; in the snowy town, within the middle of nowhere of Vermont, an elderly couple heard the sound of three loud knocks on their door. They opened the door and saw two children, a boy and a girl. "Parents will be here soon, may we come in?" The children did not make eye contact and just stood there in the doorway. The elderly couple were hesitant but after a while, they let the boy and girl inside.
The kids settled on the couch while the wife made some hot cocoa and the husband asked them questions that went unanswered. The wife returned and noticed that her cat was scared and angry with the children. "May we please use the restroom?"
The wife looked at the kids and she finally saw them. The children's eyes were as black as a starless universe. She directed them to the bathroom and returned to her husband who was covering his face with his hand. "Did you see their eyes?" the husband then show her his hand full of blood from a nosebleed.
The power suddenly went out and the house turned as dark as the kids' eyes. The wife headed to the restroom and was confronted by the voice of the kids at the end of the hall uttering, "Our parents are here." The kids then exited the house leaving the door wide open. The wife then noticed that there were two men at the end of the driveway. The men were very tall and slender; the wife waved but did not receive the same friendly gesture. The two men and children then drove away together in one car.
After people encountered the children, many issues have been enabled such as incurable diseases and lifelong problems.
Just because something seems innocent, doesn’t mean it is.
