1919 black-eyed kids incident in

9
00:00:39,350 --> 00:00:36,880
sandoval illinois disclosed

10
00:00:40,790 --> 00:00:39,360
the following story was told to me back

11
00:00:43,350 --> 00:00:40,800
in the 1960s

12
00:00:44,069 --> 00:00:43,360
by my grandfather it was an incident

13
00:00:46,869 --> 00:00:44,079
that took place

14
00:00:47,830 --> 00:00:46,879
sometime in early 1919 near sandoval

15
00:00:49,670 --> 00:00:47,840
illinois

16
00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:49,680
he told me it had been hot the past

17
00:00:54,150 --> 00:00:51,840
summer and the heat lingered for months

18
00:00:55,830 --> 00:00:54,160
so he had all the windows and both doors

19
00:00:57,510 --> 00:00:55,840
open on his house

20
00:00:59,590 --> 00:00:57,520
he was sitting on the porch reading a

21
00:01:00,630 --> 00:00:59,600
book because it was too stuffy to be

22
00:01:02,869 --> 00:01:00,640
inside

23
00:01:04,390 --> 00:01:02,879
he went in to make a snack get a drink

24
00:01:06,149 --> 00:01:04,400
when he heard a knock

25
00:01:08,310 --> 00:01:06,159
this struck him as odd because most

26
00:01:10,230 --> 00:01:08,320
people would just call out that knew him

27
00:01:12,550 --> 00:01:10,240
so he figured it was a vagrant looking

28
00:01:14,630 --> 00:01:12,560
for a mueller labor he lived by the

29
00:01:15,670 --> 00:01:14,640
train tracks so hopeos would come from

30
00:01:18,469 --> 00:01:15,680
time to time

31
00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:18,479
and i guess it was normal so he goes to

32
00:01:22,789 --> 00:01:20,400
the hall and two kids are standing in

33
00:01:23,990 --> 00:01:22,799
the entranceway and call out may we come

34
00:01:26,630 --> 00:01:24,000
in to rest

35
00:01:28,390 --> 00:01:26,640
it's a long way home so he says they

36
00:01:30,149 --> 00:01:28,400
were welcome to sit on the porch

37
00:01:32,630 --> 00:01:30,159
but it's too hot inside to be

38
00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:32,640
comfortable he asked if they came from

39
00:01:36,950 --> 00:01:34,320
the rails and they just said

40
00:01:38,870 --> 00:01:36,960
we need to come in may we from what he

41
00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:38,880
said the kids made him feel peculiar

42
00:01:41,429 --> 00:01:39,520
because

43
00:01:43,350 --> 00:01:41,439
one they wouldn't look at him directly

44
00:01:45,270 --> 00:01:43,360
and two they were too clean

45
00:01:46,870 --> 00:01:45,280
my grandfather said that riding the

46
00:01:49,429 --> 00:01:46,880
trains was dirty

47
00:01:51,510 --> 00:01:49,439
you get grease on you and coal dust and

48
00:01:52,069 --> 00:01:51,520
sometimes you get cuts on your hands or

49
00:01:53,990 --> 00:01:52,079
knees

50
00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:54,000
he lost his leg doing the very thing

51
00:01:58,149 --> 00:01:56,000
which kept him out of the war

52
00:02:00,709 --> 00:01:58,159
but these kids from what he said were

53
00:02:01,510 --> 00:02:00,719
pristine like they were going to sunday

54
00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:01,520
school

55
00:02:05,749 --> 00:02:03,360
they weren't sweating and their hair was

56
00:02:07,670 --> 00:02:05,759
neat and it struck him as odd

57
00:02:09,029 --> 00:02:07,680
if they had walked in open fields in the

58
00:02:10,790 --> 00:02:09,039
middle of the heat they would be

59
00:02:12,790 --> 00:02:10,800
uncamped or disheveled

60
00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:12,800
he asks again if they would like to sit

61
00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:14,160
on the porch and the girl

62
00:02:18,070 --> 00:02:16,560
it was a boy and girl but the boy didn't

63
00:02:20,630 --> 00:02:18,080
speak just repeated

64
00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:20,640
may we come in and then she just kept

65
00:02:23,830 --> 00:02:21,360
asking

66
00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:23,840
may we may we may we over and over again

67
00:02:26,790 --> 00:02:25,840
until my grandfather slammed his hand

68
00:02:29,430 --> 00:02:26,800
down and says

69
00:02:31,350 --> 00:02:29,440
damn you both no the girl stopped

70
00:02:33,589 --> 00:02:31,360
speaking and he said they both just

71
00:02:36,229 --> 00:02:33,599
stood quiet until the girl looked at him

72
00:02:36,869 --> 00:02:36,239
eyes black like cole and said once more

73
00:02:39,509 --> 00:02:36,879
mr

74
00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:39,519
may we please come in my grandfather

75
00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:40,800
just walked to the kitchen

76
00:02:45,509 --> 00:02:43,680
and sat down not knowing what to do he

77
00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:45,519
said he felt like someone punch him in

78
00:02:48,630 --> 00:02:46,560
the stomach

79
00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:48,640
he said he sat there until his dog came

80
00:02:53,509 --> 00:02:50,720
rushing in the house shaking like

81
00:02:54,390 --> 00:02:53,519
a leaf so at the end he never told

82
00:02:56,630 --> 00:02:54,400
anyone

83
00:02:58,790 --> 00:02:56,640
he chalked it up to heat exhaustion but

84
00:03:01,190 --> 00:02:58,800
he said it troubled him for years

85
00:03:02,830 --> 00:03:01,200
i just wonder how far back of stories of

86
00:03:09,509 --> 00:03:02,840
bk go

87
00:03:13,509 --> 00:03:11,990
during black-eyed kids experience this

88
00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:13,519
happened about a year ago

89
00:03:17,670 --> 00:03:16,239
i was going into work alone it was 4 am

90
00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:17,680
in the morning and no one was in the

91
00:03:21,190 --> 00:03:19,200
parking lot but me

92
00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:21,200
so i'm about to get out of my car to go

93
00:03:25,190 --> 00:03:23,360
into my building but first i bend down

94
00:03:27,350 --> 00:03:25,200
to get my cell phone charger

95
00:03:28,630 --> 00:03:27,360
when i look back up a teen girl is on my

96
00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:28,640
driver's side window

97
00:03:33,190 --> 00:03:31,200
and a small boy is on the passenger side

98
00:03:35,670 --> 00:03:33,200
the girl is wearing a tank top and has

99
00:03:38,149 --> 00:03:35,680
really pale skin and stringy blonde hair

100
00:03:38,949 --> 00:03:38,159
the little boy had his hair shaved off

101
00:03:41,030 --> 00:03:38,959
she says

102
00:03:42,869 --> 00:03:41,040
excuse me sir but we need to ride down

103
00:03:45,190 --> 00:03:42,879
the block to my mom's house

104
00:03:47,190 --> 00:03:45,200
if we walk she'll be angry now the boy

105
00:03:49,110 --> 00:03:47,200
looks emotionless and then blinking

106
00:03:50,309 --> 00:03:49,120
i get the weird feeling in my stomach

107
00:03:52,309 --> 00:03:50,319
saying don't do it

108
00:03:53,990 --> 00:03:52,319
and i say i need to go to work but

109
00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:54,000
here's money for a cab

110
00:03:57,030 --> 00:03:56,000
she says we don't want your money we

111
00:03:58,949 --> 00:03:57,040
want a ride

112
00:04:00,630 --> 00:03:58,959
i blink and i look down at my phone as

113
00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:00,640
it suddenly rang then hung up

114
00:04:04,309 --> 00:04:03,120
the kids eyes were as black as night my

115
00:04:06,390 --> 00:04:04,319
heart's pounding

116
00:04:07,990 --> 00:04:06,400
i think crap these kids are the ones

117
00:04:08,869 --> 00:04:08,000
people are talking about that kill

118
00:04:11,589 --> 00:04:08,879
people

119
00:04:12,949 --> 00:04:11,599
so i say with some authority no you take

120
00:04:15,030 --> 00:04:12,959
the money and go away

121
00:04:17,110 --> 00:04:15,040
as i reach for some ones in my ashtray

122
00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:17,120
and look up at the kids and they're gone

123
00:04:20,710 --> 00:04:19,440
now it's a big parking lot i'd have seen

124
00:04:22,790 --> 00:04:20,720
them had their own off

125
00:04:24,629 --> 00:04:22,800
i even drive around the parking lot and

126
00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:24,639
building no kids

127
00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:26,560
even drove around the empty block they

128
00:04:29,110 --> 00:04:28,479
claimed to live on and there was no one

129
00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:29,120
there

130
00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:31,280
needless to say i waited until the sun

131
00:04:44,950 --> 00:04:43,189
bk in the philippines black eyed kids

132
00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:44,960
stories have been my favorite to read

133
00:04:47,990 --> 00:04:45,440
about

134
00:04:50,070 --> 00:04:48,000
since i first discovered them last year

135
00:04:53,909 --> 00:04:50,080
i've always thought of them as just that

136
00:04:55,909 --> 00:04:53,919
stories until now on september 8th

137
00:04:58,070 --> 00:04:55,919
my friend that lives in the philippines

138
00:04:59,430 --> 00:04:58,080
told me about an experience she had the

139
00:05:02,310 --> 00:04:59,440
previous night

140
00:05:03,909 --> 00:05:02,320
around 6 p.m her and her cousin cleaned

141
00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:03,919
and trimmed the excess leaves and

142
00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:06,000
branches along the path to their laundry

143
00:05:09,590 --> 00:05:06,880
area

144
00:05:11,749 --> 00:05:09,600
at 9 00 pm a thunderstorm occurred and

145
00:05:12,790 --> 00:05:11,759
she ran outside to make sure the front

146
00:05:14,469 --> 00:05:12,800
gate was locked

147
00:05:16,870 --> 00:05:14,479
and that there was no laundry on the

148
00:05:17,430 --> 00:05:16,880
line as she was heading to the front

149
00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:17,440
gate

150
00:05:22,150 --> 00:05:19,680
she glanced over at the laundry area to

151
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:22,160
check it and that's when she saw him

152
00:05:27,029 --> 00:05:24,240
she was about four or five feet away

153
00:05:27,749 --> 00:05:27,039
from a boy that was about 14 or 15 years

154
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:27,759
old

155
00:05:32,150 --> 00:05:29,840
he was wearing a long baggy shirt and

156
00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:32,160
shorts that were dark gray in color

157
00:05:36,550 --> 00:05:34,240
he was just standing at the end of the

158
00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:36,560
small gate leading to the laundry area

159
00:05:41,110 --> 00:05:38,560
with his hands at his side staring at

160
00:05:42,710 --> 00:05:41,120
her this took a few seconds until she

161
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:42,720
made it to the front gate and checked

162
00:05:46,230 --> 00:05:44,080
that it was locked

163
00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:46,240
she immediately turned around and headed

164
00:05:50,710 --> 00:05:48,400
back but the boy was gone

165
00:05:53,110 --> 00:05:50,720
she got goosebumps then and quickly ran

166
00:05:55,110 --> 00:05:53,120
into the house i thought at first she

167
00:05:55,749 --> 00:05:55,120
had just seen a neighborhood kid up to

168
00:05:57,749 --> 00:05:55,759
mischief

169
00:05:59,830 --> 00:05:57,759
and jokingly asked if his eyes were

170
00:06:01,670 --> 00:05:59,840
black and she said yes

171
00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:01,680
thinking she thought i had just meant

172
00:06:04,870 --> 00:06:02,960
the pupil and iris

173
00:06:06,710 --> 00:06:04,880
i looked up pictures of becks that have

174
00:06:09,749 --> 00:06:06,720
been created for articles

175
00:06:10,629 --> 00:06:09,759
i showed her one and she said yes like

176
00:06:12,629 --> 00:06:10,639
that

177
00:06:13,749 --> 00:06:12,639
she then said maybe it was just her

178
00:06:16,550 --> 00:06:13,759
imagination

179
00:06:19,029 --> 00:06:16,560
but she had never heard of bks until i

180
00:06:21,430 --> 00:06:19,039
mentioned it after sending the picture

181
00:06:23,189 --> 00:06:21,440
the skeptical part of me wants to say it

182
00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:23,199
was just her imagination

183
00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:25,199
but she didn't know the description of a

184
00:06:29,670 --> 00:06:27,600
bk until after i mentioned them

185
00:06:30,629 --> 00:06:29,680
which was after she described what she

186
00:06:33,270 --> 00:06:30,639
saw

187
00:06:35,189 --> 00:06:33,280
so maybe it was just a neighbor kid out

188
00:06:37,350 --> 00:06:35,199
trying to scare someone

189
00:06:39,670 --> 00:06:37,360
full black eye contacts are available

190
00:06:41,830 --> 00:06:39,680
for sale but are they easily accessible

191
00:06:44,469 --> 00:06:41,840
to a teenager in the philippines

192
00:06:46,390 --> 00:06:44,479
was it really a bk or was it just a

193
00:06:48,150 --> 00:06:46,400
ghost that was checking out the freshly

194
00:06:50,070 --> 00:06:48,160
cleaned and trimmed path

195
00:06:51,990 --> 00:06:50,080
whatever it was it has made my

196
00:06:59,350 --> 00:06:52,000
believerism greatly overcome my

197
00:07:04,070 --> 00:07:02,230
black-eyed kids bizarre experiences i've

198
00:07:06,309 --> 00:07:04,080
had two encounters with them

199
00:07:08,309 --> 00:07:06,319
the first time was two years ago or so

200
00:07:10,150 --> 00:07:08,319
in a gas station parking lot off of

201
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:10,160
highway 58 in tennessee

202
00:07:14,150 --> 00:07:12,400
at like three or four in the morning my

203
00:07:16,230 --> 00:07:14,160
friend had parked towards the far end of

204
00:07:18,070 --> 00:07:16,240
the lot around the side of the building

205
00:07:20,309 --> 00:07:18,080
i was sitting in the passenger side of

206
00:07:21,670 --> 00:07:20,319
my friend's car waiting for him to come

207
00:07:22,629 --> 00:07:21,680
out of the store from buying his

208
00:07:25,430 --> 00:07:22,639
cigarettes

209
00:07:27,589 --> 00:07:25,440
i was fairly relaxed enjoying the radio

210
00:07:29,430 --> 00:07:27,599
and then i hear a knock on the window

211
00:07:31,510 --> 00:07:29,440
i looked over and there was a boy he

212
00:07:33,510 --> 00:07:31,520
looked about 12 and he was wearing a

213
00:07:35,350 --> 00:07:33,520
gray hoodie with his hood pulled up

214
00:07:36,870 --> 00:07:35,360
i cracked the window and asked him what

215
00:07:39,189 --> 00:07:36,880
he wanted and responded with

216
00:07:41,510 --> 00:07:39,199
can i borrow your phone i wasn't going

217
00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:41,520
to let some strange kid use my phone

218
00:07:45,430 --> 00:07:43,440
so i told him that i was sure they'd let

219
00:07:47,430 --> 00:07:45,440
him use the one inside the store

220
00:07:48,950 --> 00:07:47,440
he kept insisting on it though and it

221
00:07:51,110 --> 00:07:48,960
was the weirdest thing because the

222
00:07:52,950 --> 00:07:51,120
longer he stood there the more unsettled

223
00:07:55,110 --> 00:07:52,960
and scared i started to feel

224
00:07:55,990 --> 00:07:55,120
i had rolled up the window by this point

225
00:07:57,670 --> 00:07:56,000
and he became

226
00:07:59,990 --> 00:07:57,680
something less than aggressive but more

227
00:08:00,790 --> 00:08:00,000
than insistent that's when i saw his

228
00:08:02,550 --> 00:08:00,800
eyes

229
00:08:04,390 --> 00:08:02,560
his hood slipped back because of his

230
00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:04,400
movements and the only way i can

231
00:08:06,869 --> 00:08:06,160
describe the feeling of looking into

232
00:08:09,430 --> 00:08:06,879
those eyes

233
00:08:11,430 --> 00:08:09,440
is primal fear that's about the time he

234
00:08:13,430 --> 00:08:11,440
quickly moved to the nearby tree line

235
00:08:14,550 --> 00:08:13,440
and a few seconds later my friend got

236
00:08:16,629 --> 00:08:14,560
into the car

237
00:08:17,990 --> 00:08:16,639
he said i was pale as a ghost and asked

238
00:08:20,469 --> 00:08:18,000
me what was wrong

239
00:08:21,510 --> 00:08:20,479
at the time i had no idea what the hell

240
00:08:23,749 --> 00:08:21,520
that was all about

241
00:08:25,589 --> 00:08:23,759
and had trouble describing it all to him

242
00:08:27,189 --> 00:08:25,599
he looked at me strangely and said he

243
00:08:29,990 --> 00:08:27,199
didn't see the kid at all

244
00:08:32,230 --> 00:08:30,000
that really got to me so when i got home

245
00:08:33,589 --> 00:08:32,240
i couldn't sleep and found out exactly

246
00:08:35,509 --> 00:08:33,599
what i had encountered

247
00:08:37,029 --> 00:08:35,519
the second encounter happened shortly

248
00:08:38,790 --> 00:08:37,039
after at my house

249
00:08:41,430 --> 00:08:38,800
this was about three and a half weeks

250
00:08:43,350 --> 00:08:41,440
ago i'm a night owl so i'm up at pretty

251
00:08:43,829 --> 00:08:43,360
ridiculous times of night a lot of the

252
00:08:46,070 --> 00:08:43,839
time

253
00:08:47,269 --> 00:08:46,080
and i was up at around 3 30ish in the

254
00:08:49,750 --> 00:08:47,279
morning yet again

255
00:08:51,350 --> 00:08:49,760
and watching youtube videos then i hear

256
00:08:53,269 --> 00:08:51,360
a knock on the front door

257
00:08:55,269 --> 00:08:53,279
i would have normally just avoided a

258
00:08:57,190 --> 00:08:55,279
knock on the door at that time of night

259
00:08:59,030 --> 00:08:57,200
but my roommate's girlfriend had left

260
00:09:01,190 --> 00:08:59,040
only about 20 minutes prior

261
00:09:02,710 --> 00:09:01,200
so i assumed it was her having forgotten

262
00:09:03,829 --> 00:09:02,720
something it wouldn't have been the

263
00:09:05,670 --> 00:09:03,839
first time

264
00:09:07,030 --> 00:09:05,680
so i went to the door and cracked it a

265
00:09:09,110 --> 00:09:07,040
bit to look outside

266
00:09:11,430 --> 00:09:09,120
and there were these three kids one

267
00:09:13,110 --> 00:09:11,440
looked to be around a 16 year old girl

268
00:09:15,350 --> 00:09:13,120
the other two were little boys who

269
00:09:16,870 --> 00:09:15,360
appeared 6 and 10 respectively

270
00:09:18,949 --> 00:09:16,880
they wouldn't look directly at me and

271
00:09:20,710 --> 00:09:18,959
held their heads at a downward angle

272
00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:20,720
the porch light cast a pretty heavy

273
00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:22,240
shadow over their features

274
00:09:26,310 --> 00:09:24,480
so what they were was again obscured i

275
00:09:28,230 --> 00:09:26,320
hadn't forgotten about my previous

276
00:09:29,190 --> 00:09:28,240
encounter but i didn't know any of the

277
00:09:31,430 --> 00:09:29,200
neighborhood yet

278
00:09:33,269 --> 00:09:31,440
and couldn't just assume bek when it

279
00:09:34,389 --> 00:09:33,279
could have been desperation standing at

280
00:09:36,389 --> 00:09:34,399
my doorstep

281
00:09:37,990 --> 00:09:36,399
i opened the door a bit more and before

282
00:09:40,150 --> 00:09:38,000
i could ask what they were after

283
00:09:42,389 --> 00:09:40,160
the girl said can we come in to use your

284
00:09:44,389 --> 00:09:42,399
phone i told her i could fetch it and

285
00:09:45,509 --> 00:09:44,399
let her use it but again she asked to

286
00:09:47,590 --> 00:09:45,519
come inside

287
00:09:49,269 --> 00:09:47,600
it was as if i hadn't said anything at

288
00:09:51,910 --> 00:09:49,279
all and her insistence grew

289
00:09:53,670 --> 00:09:51,920
just like last time she stepped from the

290
00:09:55,269 --> 00:09:53,680
front walk to the bottom step of my

291
00:09:57,750 --> 00:09:55,279
stoop and looked up at me

292
00:09:59,350 --> 00:09:57,760
i saw those eyes again slammed the door

293
00:10:01,750 --> 00:09:59,360
and went back to the living room

294
00:10:03,430 --> 00:10:01,760
a good distance away from the front door

295
00:10:04,550 --> 00:10:03,440
i heard a few more knocks over the

296
00:10:06,389 --> 00:10:04,560
following few minutes

297
00:10:07,670 --> 00:10:06,399
growing more aggressive with each volley

298
00:10:09,590 --> 00:10:07,680
until they stopped

299
00:10:11,670 --> 00:10:09,600
i didn't dare get close to the door or

300
00:10:13,829 --> 00:10:11,680
windows again until sunrise

301
00:10:15,509 --> 00:10:13,839
i've since installed security cameras

302
00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:15,519
around the perimeter of the house

303
00:10:25,190 --> 00:10:17,360
and if they come back i'll post the

304
00:10:29,750 --> 00:10:27,509
two black eyed kids terrorize glade

305
00:10:31,829 --> 00:10:29,760
springs west virginia resident

306
00:10:33,509 --> 00:10:31,839
i had never heard of the black eyed kids

307
00:10:35,590 --> 00:10:33,519
until i encountered them

308
00:10:37,509 --> 00:10:35,600
still not knowing who or what the hell

309
00:10:38,389 --> 00:10:37,519
they were i did what any modern young

310
00:10:40,790 --> 00:10:38,399
man would do

311
00:10:41,990 --> 00:10:40,800
i googled them i shocked that i wasn't

312
00:10:44,150 --> 00:10:42,000
the only one

313
00:10:45,590 --> 00:10:44,160
had i not seen them for myself i would

314
00:10:45,990 --> 00:10:45,600
have just thought it to be another

315
00:10:48,550 --> 00:10:46,000
modern

316
00:10:50,710 --> 00:10:48,560
urban legend gone viral besides my

317
00:10:52,870 --> 00:10:50,720
girlfriend i've only told my brother who

318
00:10:55,509 --> 00:10:52,880
is into everything creepy and horror

319
00:10:57,269 --> 00:10:55,519
i'm an accountant my girlfriend and i

320
00:10:59,269 --> 00:10:57,279
live in a small gated community in

321
00:11:00,150 --> 00:10:59,279
southern west virginia called glade

322
00:11:03,269 --> 00:11:00,160
springs

323
00:11:04,150 --> 00:11:03,279
the community has about 150 houses a

324
00:11:06,949 --> 00:11:04,160
country club

325
00:11:08,630 --> 00:11:06,959
and a steakhouse and bar called bunkers

326
00:11:10,069 --> 00:11:08,640
now anyone can come through the gate

327
00:11:12,550 --> 00:11:10,079
during the business hours

328
00:11:14,150 --> 00:11:12,560
but after they close the front security

329
00:11:16,790 --> 00:11:14,160
gate stops all traffic

330
00:11:18,470 --> 00:11:16,800
and makes sure you are a resident if you

331
00:11:19,430 --> 00:11:18,480
are a visitor they call the house that

332
00:11:21,269 --> 00:11:19,440
you're going to

333
00:11:22,550 --> 00:11:21,279
to verify that you are actually

334
00:11:25,110 --> 00:11:22,560
expecting them

335
00:11:27,110 --> 00:11:25,120
sometimes it's a hassle but hey don't

336
00:11:29,590 --> 00:11:27,120
have to worry about a robbery

337
00:11:31,509 --> 00:11:29,600
so imagine my surprise when my doorbell

338
00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:31,519
chimed at 2 30 am

339
00:11:35,110 --> 00:11:33,760
i was jarred awake and wasn't sure if it

340
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:35,120
wasn't just a dream

341
00:11:38,310 --> 00:11:37,040
considering i had just went to bed

342
00:11:40,150 --> 00:11:38,320
shortly before

343
00:11:42,470 --> 00:11:40,160
i rolled over and looked at the clock

344
00:11:43,269 --> 00:11:42,480
noticing the time and when my doorbell

345
00:11:46,150 --> 00:11:43,279
chimed again

346
00:11:48,230 --> 00:11:46,160
i felt a cold chill run through my body

347
00:11:50,310 --> 00:11:48,240
not reading too much into it it could be

348
00:11:53,030 --> 00:11:50,320
one of my neighbors has an emergency

349
00:11:53,590 --> 00:11:53,040
right i nonchalantly made my way to the

350
00:11:56,150 --> 00:11:53,600
door

351
00:11:57,110 --> 00:11:56,160
now i see how foolish i really was and

352
00:11:59,430 --> 00:11:57,120
opened it

353
00:12:01,350 --> 00:11:59,440
luckily the wrought iron storm door was

354
00:12:03,190 --> 00:12:01,360
still locked because who or what stood

355
00:12:04,230 --> 00:12:03,200
before me was not a resident of the

356
00:12:06,710 --> 00:12:04,240
community

357
00:12:07,430 --> 00:12:06,720
two young boys stood at my doorstep one

358
00:12:12,470 --> 00:12:07,440
looking about

359
00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:12,480
dark hooded sweatshirts and jeans

360
00:12:16,389 --> 00:12:14,560
the young one had shaggy dirty blonde

361
00:12:17,430 --> 00:12:16,399
hair and would only look down at the

362
00:12:19,509 --> 00:12:17,440
stone steps

363
00:12:21,190 --> 00:12:19,519
and the older one had his hood pulled

364
00:12:23,590 --> 00:12:21,200
and his head tipped to where i could

365
00:12:25,750 --> 00:12:23,600
only see from half his nose down

366
00:12:27,590 --> 00:12:25,760
my voice caught in my throat and before

367
00:12:29,110 --> 00:12:27,600
i could even ask what they wanted the

368
00:12:31,509 --> 00:12:29,120
older one spoke

369
00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:31,519
his voice sounded forced and dry there

370
00:12:34,150 --> 00:12:33,680
was no emotion or sincerity of what he

371
00:12:35,750 --> 00:12:34,160
said

372
00:12:37,829 --> 00:12:35,760
i'm sorry to bother you and your

373
00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:37,839
girlfriend but we need to come in and

374
00:12:41,190 --> 00:12:38,880
use your phone

375
00:12:43,590 --> 00:12:41,200
we've been in an accident i felt the

376
00:12:46,069 --> 00:12:43,600
familiar chill return to my whole body

377
00:12:48,710 --> 00:12:46,079
how did he know my girlfriend was here i

378
00:12:49,670 --> 00:12:48,720
wrote it off as my tahoe and her vw was

379
00:12:52,069 --> 00:12:49,680
in the driveway

380
00:12:53,509 --> 00:12:52,079
and i figured they just assumed i

381
00:12:55,670 --> 00:12:53,519
tripped over my words

382
00:12:56,629 --> 00:12:55,680
something about these kids wasn't right

383
00:12:59,509 --> 00:12:56,639
wasn't normal

384
00:13:01,350 --> 00:12:59,519
wasn't human uh um i can bring you my

385
00:13:03,670 --> 00:13:01,360
cell phone and you can call

386
00:13:06,230 --> 00:13:03,680
i don't get service inside here so you

387
00:13:09,110 --> 00:13:06,240
have to stand on the sidewalk to call

388
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:09,120
i finally said nervously of course i was

389
00:13:13,509 --> 00:13:10,800
lying through my clenched teeth

390
00:13:15,670 --> 00:13:13,519
i did not want these kids in my house

391
00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:15,680
well my brother really needs to use your

392
00:13:19,269 --> 00:13:16,639
bathroom chuck

393
00:13:19,990 --> 00:13:19,279
we have to come in the older one said

394
00:13:22,389 --> 00:13:20,000
and that's when

395
00:13:23,190 --> 00:13:22,399
i went in to complete a panic he knew my

396
00:13:25,590 --> 00:13:23,200
name

397
00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:25,600
i'm sorry are you from here how did you

398
00:13:28,629 --> 00:13:26,720
know my name

399
00:13:31,030 --> 00:13:28,639
the words practically shook out of my

400
00:13:33,350 --> 00:13:31,040
mouth that's when he became slightly

401
00:13:35,110 --> 00:13:33,360
hostile and demanded to be led inside

402
00:13:37,269 --> 00:13:35,120
and i told them i was sorry

403
00:13:39,430 --> 00:13:37,279
but i couldn't help them and just as i

404
00:13:40,389 --> 00:13:39,440
was about close the main door is when it

405
00:13:42,069 --> 00:13:40,399
happened

406
00:13:43,990 --> 00:13:42,079
the both of them snapped their heads

407
00:13:44,790 --> 00:13:44,000
upwards and looked me straight in the

408
00:13:48,470 --> 00:13:44,800
eyes

409
00:13:51,350 --> 00:13:48,480
black no iris no pupil no retina

410
00:13:52,389 --> 00:13:51,360
just pure deep black i was paralyzed

411
00:13:54,310 --> 00:13:52,399
with fear

412
00:13:56,470 --> 00:13:54,320
for a second i thought those kids were

413
00:13:58,629 --> 00:13:56,480
just playing a really cruel joke

414
00:14:00,310 --> 00:13:58,639
and had snuck in the community somehow

415
00:14:03,189 --> 00:14:00,320
and had bought some of those freaky

416
00:14:05,269 --> 00:14:03,199
supernatural demon sclera contacts

417
00:14:06,550 --> 00:14:05,279
that was until i heard ringing it was

418
00:14:08,230 --> 00:14:06,560
like a ringing sound

419
00:14:09,990 --> 00:14:08,240
that you hear when you have a hearing

420
00:14:10,949 --> 00:14:10,000
test done that digital high-pitched

421
00:14:13,430 --> 00:14:10,959
shrill ringing

422
00:14:15,350 --> 00:14:13,440
and then the flashbacks started that's

423
00:14:17,509 --> 00:14:15,360
when everything went black

424
00:14:19,350 --> 00:14:17,519
the next thing i knew i was shaken awake

425
00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:19,360
lying in the mud room floor

426
00:14:22,710 --> 00:14:21,440
my girlfriend standing over me with a

427
00:14:25,509 --> 00:14:22,720
worried look

428
00:14:27,110 --> 00:14:25,519
what the hell chucky she asked i had no

429
00:14:29,030 --> 00:14:27,120
idea how to answer her

430
00:14:30,150 --> 00:14:29,040
my head had taken a good whack against

431
00:14:32,710 --> 00:14:30,160
the slate floor

432
00:14:33,189 --> 00:14:32,720
and a bit of dried blood was stuck in my

433
00:14:34,949 --> 00:14:33,199
hair

434
00:14:37,269 --> 00:14:34,959
but other than that i was fine

435
00:14:38,870 --> 00:14:37,279
physically i slowly remembered

436
00:14:39,750 --> 00:14:38,880
everything that had happened and looked

437
00:14:42,150 --> 00:14:39,760
at the door

438
00:14:44,710 --> 00:14:42,160
daylight i've never been so happy to see

439
00:14:46,710 --> 00:14:44,720
mourning in all my life i told my

440
00:14:48,629 --> 00:14:46,720
girlfriend everything that had happened

441
00:14:50,629 --> 00:14:48,639
and i honestly think she thought i had

442
00:14:53,110 --> 00:14:50,639
brain damage from hitting the floor

443
00:14:55,110 --> 00:14:53,120
but she insisted she believed me and

444
00:14:56,949 --> 00:14:55,120
then we googled it and i believe that's

445
00:14:57,990 --> 00:14:56,959
when she really started to believe me

446
00:15:00,069 --> 00:14:58,000
was then

447
00:15:01,269 --> 00:15:00,079
i don't know who or what they are or

448
00:15:03,590 --> 00:15:01,279
where they come from

449
00:15:04,949 --> 00:15:03,600
but they're not of this world i know

450
00:15:06,710 --> 00:15:04,959
that for a fact

451
00:15:08,790 --> 00:15:06,720
for some reason i have a lingering

452
00:15:10,470 --> 00:15:08,800
thought i'm still not sure

453
00:15:12,389 --> 00:15:10,480
if they put the thought in my head or

454
00:15:14,470 --> 00:15:12,399
not that they wanted me to know that

455
00:15:16,710 --> 00:15:14,480
even my memories aren't safe

456
00:15:18,150 --> 00:15:16,720
they are very strong and seem to be

457
00:15:20,310 --> 00:15:18,160
growing in numbers

458
00:15:21,670 --> 00:15:20,320
for some reason they seem to not be able

459
00:15:23,829 --> 00:15:21,680
to hurt you physically

460
00:15:25,829 --> 00:15:23,839
unless you invite them in which i don't

461
00:15:26,230 --> 00:15:25,839
know since either no one has ever let

462
00:15:28,230 --> 00:15:26,240
them

463
00:15:30,069 --> 00:15:28,240
or the ones that have aren't around to

464
00:15:32,150 --> 00:15:30,079
tell their story anymore

465
00:15:34,069 --> 00:15:32,160
but they can get your mind since that

466
00:15:35,910 --> 00:15:34,079
night i feel as though i'm being watched

467
00:15:36,790 --> 00:15:35,920
i see them out of the corner of my eye

468
00:15:38,949 --> 00:15:36,800
occasionally

469
00:15:40,389 --> 00:15:38,959
i'll look at my girlfriend while we're

470
00:15:42,470 --> 00:15:40,399
at the movies or diner

471
00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:42,480
and her eyes will be solid black for a

472
00:15:45,430 --> 00:15:43,519
split second

473
00:15:47,749 --> 00:15:45,440
and worst of all they took one of my

474
00:15:48,470 --> 00:15:47,759
most precious and most often reminisced

475
00:15:50,550 --> 00:15:48,480
memories

476
00:15:52,710 --> 00:15:50,560
and turned it into something sinister

477
00:15:54,470 --> 00:15:52,720
something that's now a constant reminder

478
00:16:00,069 --> 00:15:54,480
of the black eyed kids

479
00:16:03,509 --> 00:16:02,629
