00:00:36,549 --> 00:00:34,630
black eyed girl in the park my friend

9
00:00:38,950 --> 00:00:36,559
and i are walking around my neighborhood

10
00:00:40,630 --> 00:00:38,960
at night cause we were really bored

11
00:00:42,630 --> 00:00:40,640
we passed this park that's in my

12
00:00:44,790 --> 00:00:42,640
neighborhood and we heard singing

13
00:00:47,430 --> 00:00:44,800
so we looked over at the park and saw a

14
00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:47,440
little girl all alone sitting on a swing

15
00:00:52,389 --> 00:00:50,160
she had long brown hair a pink polka dot

16
00:00:54,630 --> 00:00:52,399
dress and a red bow in her hair

17
00:00:57,270 --> 00:00:54,640
we couldn't see her super well at first

18
00:00:59,670 --> 00:00:57,280
because the park wasn't super well lit

19
00:01:01,750 --> 00:00:59,680
so we kept walking past the park because

20
00:01:03,670 --> 00:01:01,760
we felt this overwhelming fear when we

21
00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:03,680
saw her without any cause

22
00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:05,760
but as we were walking still looking at

23
00:01:08,230 --> 00:01:07,600
her she turned her head and stopped

24
00:01:13,030 --> 00:01:08,240
singing

25
00:01:15,109 --> 00:01:13,040
were walking a bit faster at that point

26
00:01:16,789 --> 00:01:15,119
but i felt drawn to her even though i

27
00:01:19,030 --> 00:01:16,799
had this overwhelming fear i

28
00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:19,040
also felt like i should go to her but i

29
00:01:23,030 --> 00:01:21,360
fought that and i kept walking

30
00:01:24,469 --> 00:01:23,040
she then stood up from the swing and

31
00:01:26,310 --> 00:01:24,479
started walking

32
00:01:28,070 --> 00:01:26,320
when she walked out towards the street

33
00:01:30,390 --> 00:01:28,080
which we were on the other side of

34
00:01:31,270 --> 00:01:30,400
she went under the street light then i

35
00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:31,280
saw it

36
00:01:35,429 --> 00:01:33,520
i made clear eye contact with her and

37
00:01:37,749 --> 00:01:35,439
her eyes were pitch black

38
00:01:39,830 --> 00:01:37,759
she then started to run towards us which

39
00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:39,840
only my friend noticed because i was

40
00:01:44,230 --> 00:01:41,840
caught up in looking at her eyes

41
00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:44,240
my friend grabs my arm pulls me and

42
00:01:47,990 --> 00:01:45,600
yells book it

43
00:01:49,030 --> 00:01:48,000
we start running as fast as we can down

44
00:01:51,429 --> 00:01:49,040
the street

45
00:01:52,389 --> 00:01:51,439
as soon as we got to my porch and my mom

46
00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:52,399
came outside

47
00:01:57,270 --> 00:01:55,040
we turned around and she was just gone

48
00:01:59,510 --> 00:01:57,280
after that i had sleep paralysis of her

49
00:02:01,270 --> 00:01:59,520
just standing in my room staring at me

50
00:02:03,429 --> 00:02:01,280
with her dark dark eyes

51
00:02:05,270 --> 00:02:03,439
i had a dream about her and always felt

52
00:02:07,270 --> 00:02:05,280
some sort of presence around me

53
00:02:09,109 --> 00:02:07,280
but i never actually saw her out there

54
00:02:10,949 --> 00:02:09,119
again but anytime i'm

55
00:02:12,949 --> 00:02:10,959
outside at night i always feel an

56
00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:12,959
extremely strong fear of seeing her

57
00:02:21,030 --> 00:02:13,920
again

58
00:02:24,070 --> 00:02:22,949
we can encounter fulton county

59
00:02:26,550 --> 00:02:24,080
pennsylvania

60
00:02:28,229 --> 00:02:26,560
it was the day after christmas 2013 and

61
00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:28,239
we decided to get out of the house and

62
00:02:31,030 --> 00:02:29,280
take a walk

63
00:02:32,949 --> 00:02:31,040
we enjoy walking the trails at town's

64
00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:32,959
gap state park here in fulton county

65
00:02:36,150 --> 00:02:34,080
pennsylvania

66
00:02:37,910 --> 00:02:36,160
it wasn't too cold so we decided to take

67
00:02:39,910 --> 00:02:37,920
the short drive to the park

68
00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:39,920
the park is void of people in the winter

69
00:02:43,030 --> 00:02:41,760
unless there's snow for skiers and ice

70
00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:43,040
skating on the lake

71
00:02:46,070 --> 00:02:45,200
but we were alone at least we thought we

72
00:02:47,910 --> 00:02:46,080
were alone

73
00:02:49,830 --> 00:02:47,920
we were walking on a trail that passes

74
00:02:51,830 --> 00:02:49,840
several of the rainfall cabins

75
00:02:53,750 --> 00:02:51,840
after a while we took a short break and

76
00:02:54,949 --> 00:02:53,760
sat down at a picnic table located in a

77
00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:54,959
cabin pavilion

78
00:02:58,630 --> 00:02:56,720
we were discussing how quiet it was when

79
00:02:59,350 --> 00:02:58,640
i noticed four children walking towards

80
00:03:01,190 --> 00:02:59,360
us

81
00:03:03,589 --> 00:03:01,200
as they approached i noticed that their

82
00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:03,599
eyes especially the taller and older boy

83
00:03:08,070 --> 00:03:05,920
were very dark with larger eyes

84
00:03:09,830 --> 00:03:08,080
there was i believe two boys and two

85
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:09,840
girls of various ages

86
00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:12,000
all four were light jackets when they

87
00:03:16,630 --> 00:03:13,920
reached us the older boy asked

88
00:03:18,309 --> 00:03:16,640
do you live here my husband answered no

89
00:03:20,630 --> 00:03:18,319
this is a rental cabin

90
00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:20,640
there was no reaction one of the girls

91
00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:21,760
who was very pale

92
00:03:25,110 --> 00:03:23,360
reached into her jacket pocket and

93
00:03:25,670 --> 00:03:25,120
pulled out a pack of cigarettes and lit

94
00:03:28,149 --> 00:03:25,680
one

95
00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:28,159
the girl was no older than 10 years my

96
00:03:30,789 --> 00:03:28,720
husband

97
00:03:32,869 --> 00:03:30,799
asked her aren't you too young to smoke

98
00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:32,879
the girl looked at him and i swear her

99
00:03:36,470 --> 00:03:34,720
eyes got darker and larger

100
00:03:38,710 --> 00:03:36,480
she gave him a scowl that he and i will

101
00:03:40,949 --> 00:03:38,720
remember for the remainder of our lives

102
00:03:42,309 --> 00:03:40,959
it was so violent for boating i was

103
00:03:44,470 --> 00:03:42,319
immediately scared

104
00:03:46,149 --> 00:03:44,480
then they turned on a dime and together

105
00:03:48,390 --> 00:03:46,159
and started to walk away

106
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:48,400
i was speechless and shaking my husband

107
00:03:51,270 --> 00:03:49,760
said let's go

108
00:03:52,949 --> 00:03:51,280
we briskly walked in the opposite

109
00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:52,959
direction towards the car

110
00:03:56,789 --> 00:03:54,640
i was still very frightened and wanted

111
00:03:58,789 --> 00:03:56,799
to go straight home we pulled out onto

112
00:04:00,630 --> 00:03:58,799
awk road and headed east towards home

113
00:04:03,350 --> 00:04:00,640
which is only a half mile or so from the

114
00:04:05,429 --> 00:04:03,360
park a few days later we were driving to

115
00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:05,439
chambersburg to do some shopping

116
00:04:08,949 --> 00:04:07,200
we needed to first stop at the post

117
00:04:09,990 --> 00:04:08,959
office in fort lauden to mail a few

118
00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:10,000
packages

119
00:04:13,429 --> 00:04:11,840
my husband walked into the post office

120
00:04:15,350 --> 00:04:13,439
while i sat in the car

121
00:04:16,949 --> 00:04:15,360
after a few minutes i noticed the same

122
00:04:18,390 --> 00:04:16,959
four kids walking through the post

123
00:04:20,150 --> 00:04:18,400
office parking lot

124
00:04:22,550 --> 00:04:20,160
just seeing them send chills up and over

125
00:04:23,030 --> 00:04:22,560
my spine when my husband returned to the

126
00:04:24,550 --> 00:04:23,040
car

127
00:04:26,469 --> 00:04:24,560
i told him what happened and that i

128
00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:26,479
wanted to go home immediately

129
00:04:30,550 --> 00:04:28,560
since that time i have suffered terrible

130
00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:30,560
episodes of anxiety and fear

131
00:04:34,629 --> 00:04:32,880
my doctor has prescribed medication but

132
00:04:35,670 --> 00:04:34,639
i still panic that i'll encounter those

133
00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:35,680
kids again

134
00:04:40,830 --> 00:04:38,000
can you suggest some recourse i'd like

135
00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:40,840
to discuss this with you

136
00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:49,590
black-eyed kids encounter in santa fe it

137
00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:50,880
was an october evening

138
00:04:54,230 --> 00:04:53,440
not too far off from halloween and live

139
00:04:56,390 --> 00:04:54,240
in santa fe

140
00:04:57,270 --> 00:04:56,400
new mexico the evening was slowly

141
00:04:59,670 --> 00:04:57,280
creeping by

142
00:05:01,270 --> 00:04:59,680
so i decided to go to the corner store

143
00:05:03,510 --> 00:05:01,280
it was only three blocks

144
00:05:05,590 --> 00:05:03,520
shouldn't be much trouble right during

145
00:05:07,590 --> 00:05:05,600
my walk i see the occasional person

146
00:05:09,510 --> 00:05:07,600
putting up halloween decorations and

147
00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:09,520
kids playing in their yards but this

148
00:05:12,150 --> 00:05:11,280
story is about something far more

149
00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:12,160
sinister

150
00:05:16,870 --> 00:05:14,960
i remember seeing two teens about age 14

151
00:05:18,629 --> 00:05:16,880
knocking on a door asking to use the

152
00:05:20,710 --> 00:05:18,639
phone which of course i thought was

153
00:05:21,590 --> 00:05:20,720
weird because most teens these days have

154
00:05:23,510 --> 00:05:21,600
phones

155
00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:23,520
as i kept walking they stopped and

156
00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:25,520
stared at me for a short moment

157
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:28,080
i felt the blood in vain's chill i felt

158
00:05:30,550 --> 00:05:29,840
so creeped out i hurried to the next

159
00:05:34,629 --> 00:05:30,560
block

160
00:05:35,749 --> 00:05:34,639
looked behind me and saw the two teams

161
00:05:37,510 --> 00:05:35,759
were following me

162
00:05:40,230 --> 00:05:37,520
i took off sprinting to the store at

163
00:05:42,629 --> 00:05:40,240
this point i saw the sign for the store

164
00:05:44,870 --> 00:05:42,639
and relief washed over me i opened the

165
00:05:46,310 --> 00:05:44,880
door and i told the cashier about what

166
00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:46,320
happened on the way here

167
00:05:50,310 --> 00:05:48,400
he looked at me slightly creeped out and

168
00:05:52,390 --> 00:05:50,320
told me a story about this happening to

169
00:05:53,590 --> 00:05:52,400
him in his hometown and how they found

170
00:05:55,670 --> 00:05:53,600
him the day he left

171
00:05:57,909 --> 00:05:55,680
and asked for his help in an emotionless

172
00:05:58,550 --> 00:05:57,919
voice and he told me to never agree to

173
00:06:00,629 --> 00:05:58,560
help

174
00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:00,639
he told me another story but at that

175
00:06:04,309 --> 00:06:02,720
point i was no longer paying attention

176
00:06:05,749 --> 00:06:04,319
because they were standing at the door

177
00:06:07,749 --> 00:06:05,759
asking to be let in

178
00:06:10,150 --> 00:06:07,759
the cashier freaked out and locked the

179
00:06:10,790 --> 00:06:10,160
door the teens never seemed to waver or

180
00:06:13,029 --> 00:06:10,800
leave

181
00:06:14,070 --> 00:06:13,039
they wouldn't step away from the door it

182
00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:14,080
had been an hour

183
00:06:17,830 --> 00:06:15,919
the cashier and i were ready to fight

184
00:06:18,710 --> 00:06:17,840
our way out but instead he took me out

185
00:06:22,710 --> 00:06:18,720
the back

186
00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:22,720
as the door shut behind us

187
00:06:25,990 --> 00:06:25,360
he said can you help me he was closing

188
00:06:28,150 --> 00:06:26,000
in on us

189
00:06:29,270 --> 00:06:28,160
and his eyes they were black as a

190
00:06:31,670 --> 00:06:29,280
starless knight

191
00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:31,680
they were peering right into my soul i

192
00:06:36,070 --> 00:06:34,000
couldn't help but gaze into his eyes

193
00:06:38,070 --> 00:06:36,080
the terror i can't remember too much of

194
00:06:39,350 --> 00:06:38,080
what happened next but i do recall the

195
00:06:41,350 --> 00:06:39,360
sounds of struggle

196
00:06:43,189 --> 00:06:41,360
when i came to the cashier was

197
00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:43,199
struggling with both teens

198
00:06:46,309 --> 00:06:45,600
he was calling out to me for help i ran

199
00:06:48,309 --> 00:06:46,319
towards them

200
00:06:50,230 --> 00:06:48,319
grabbed him by his collar and pulled him

201
00:06:51,430 --> 00:06:50,240
between the two and knocking them over

202
00:06:53,270 --> 00:06:51,440
in the process

203
00:06:55,110 --> 00:06:53,280
i didn't look back until i was near my

204
00:06:56,629 --> 00:06:55,120
house the cashier was gone

205
00:06:58,950 --> 00:06:56,639
but the teens were still following

206
00:07:00,870 --> 00:06:58,960
behind i ran into my house

207
00:07:03,510 --> 00:07:00,880
closed all the blinds and turned the

208
00:07:05,670 --> 00:07:03,520
music up i tried to find and thank the

209
00:07:07,990 --> 00:07:05,680
cashier for saving my life that day

210
00:07:09,270 --> 00:07:08,000
but he didn't show up to work after that

211
00:07:11,110 --> 00:07:09,280
i asked his boss

212
00:07:13,430 --> 00:07:11,120
and he told me he called over the phone

213
00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:13,440
and quit he said he was moving

214
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:15,520
to this very day i sometimes feel the

215
00:07:18,469 --> 00:07:17,280
fear of those eyes watching me as i

216
00:07:20,629 --> 00:07:18,479
drive to work

217
00:07:22,550 --> 00:07:20,639
i sometimes will look out my window and

218
00:07:24,070 --> 00:07:22,560
swear i see them watching my house from

219
00:07:33,110 --> 00:07:24,080
a couple blocks away

220
00:07:36,629 --> 00:07:35,510
black-eyed kids hound huntsville alabama

221
00:07:39,670 --> 00:07:36,639
neighborhood

222
00:07:40,870 --> 00:07:39,680
one evening in 2014 i was in my living

223
00:07:43,830 --> 00:07:40,880
room reading

224
00:07:46,230 --> 00:07:43,840
it was around 2 30 a.m and my dog went

225
00:07:47,990 --> 00:07:46,240
to the door like he had to go out

226
00:07:49,589 --> 00:07:48,000
i started to get up and he started

227
00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:49,599
growling at the door

228
00:07:54,309 --> 00:07:51,440
he has never growled at anything in his

229
00:07:56,710 --> 00:07:54,319
life he was only six months old

230
00:07:58,070 --> 00:07:56,720
then my other dog jumped up on the couch

231
00:08:01,110 --> 00:07:58,080
trembling and whining

232
00:08:02,070 --> 00:08:01,120
she was a year old needless to say this

233
00:08:04,230 --> 00:08:02,080
unnerved me

234
00:08:05,749 --> 00:08:04,240
since i was reading about creepy stuff

235
00:08:08,790 --> 00:08:05,759
including bk

236
00:08:11,189 --> 00:08:08,800
and was already a little freaked out so

237
00:08:12,150 --> 00:08:11,199
i just sat back on the couch and held my

238
00:08:14,710 --> 00:08:12,160
older dog

239
00:08:16,230 --> 00:08:14,720
trying to calm her down then came a

240
00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:16,240
knock on the door

241
00:08:20,869 --> 00:08:18,960
usually my dogs go wild barking and

242
00:08:21,510 --> 00:08:20,879
whining excitedly because they love

243
00:08:23,990 --> 00:08:21,520
people

244
00:08:26,790 --> 00:08:24,000
but my six-month-old puppy ran away from

245
00:08:28,950 --> 00:08:26,800
it and came over by me at this point

246
00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:28,960
my heart was racing and i was just

247
00:08:32,070 --> 00:08:30,080
terrified

248
00:08:33,829 --> 00:08:32,080
all the lights in my house were off and

249
00:08:35,990 --> 00:08:33,839
the curtains were drawn

250
00:08:37,750 --> 00:08:36,000
i don't have a peephole so i peeked out

251
00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:37,760
through the blinds of the window behind

252
00:08:42,310 --> 00:08:39,760
me that overlooked the porch

253
00:08:43,589 --> 00:08:42,320
there were two boys standing there one

254
00:08:45,910 --> 00:08:43,599
looked to be around maybe

255
00:08:47,110 --> 00:08:45,920
five he was really little and the other

256
00:08:49,509 --> 00:08:47,120
one was about 10

257
00:08:50,949 --> 00:08:49,519
i'd say they had their heads down and

258
00:08:53,590 --> 00:08:50,959
were wearing winter clothes

259
00:08:53,990 --> 00:08:53,600
heavy jackets i thought this was weird

260
00:08:56,550 --> 00:08:54,000
because

261
00:08:58,070 --> 00:08:56,560
it's in the summer then they both turned

262
00:09:00,470 --> 00:08:58,080
to look up at me

263
00:09:02,230 --> 00:09:00,480
i don't have a bulb in my porch light so

264
00:09:04,550 --> 00:09:02,240
i couldn't see their faces

265
00:09:06,150 --> 00:09:04,560
but they look directly at the window

266
00:09:08,470 --> 00:09:06,160
this freaked me out even more

267
00:09:10,150 --> 00:09:08,480
so i moved away from the window and just

268
00:09:11,590 --> 00:09:10,160
sat on my couch

269
00:09:13,829 --> 00:09:11,600
i couldn't believe that this was

270
00:09:14,470 --> 00:09:13,839
happening i had heard that if you knew

271
00:09:16,230 --> 00:09:14,480
about them

272
00:09:18,150 --> 00:09:16,240
then they would visit you and i just

273
00:09:19,990 --> 00:09:18,160
kept trying to convince myself that

274
00:09:21,269 --> 00:09:20,000
these were just some young kids playing

275
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:21,279
a prank or something

276
00:09:25,990 --> 00:09:24,240
but this wasn't really happening however

277
00:09:28,150 --> 00:09:26,000
this felt very real

278
00:09:30,389 --> 00:09:28,160
then one of them spoke it sounded like

279
00:09:33,269 --> 00:09:30,399
it may have been the older one

280
00:09:35,030 --> 00:09:33,279
ma'am can you let us in it's really cold

281
00:09:37,750 --> 00:09:35,040
out here and my brother is hungry

282
00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:37,760
i didn't move didn't reply i was

283
00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:39,839
immediately alarmed because i had no

284
00:09:45,110 --> 00:09:42,240
idea how they knew i was a man

285
00:09:47,110 --> 00:09:45,120
i just sat there on my couch the voice

286
00:09:49,190 --> 00:09:47,120
sounded void of emotion and a lot more

287
00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:49,200
calmer and somehow older than the little

288
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:50,640
person talking

289
00:09:54,630 --> 00:09:52,160
what the hell would two young kids be

290
00:09:57,590 --> 00:09:54,640
doing out at this time of night anyway

291
00:09:59,110 --> 00:09:57,600
plus it's june in alabama it isn't cold

292
00:10:01,269 --> 00:09:59,120
by any means

293
00:10:03,030 --> 00:10:01,279
i felt this overwhelming sense of dread

294
00:10:05,590 --> 00:10:03,040
and knew if i opened the door

295
00:10:07,110 --> 00:10:05,600
something awful would happen i had read

296
00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:07,120
the stories and i thought

297
00:10:12,389 --> 00:10:10,320
nope not gonna answer the door f this

298
00:10:13,829 --> 00:10:12,399
it was really weird though because no

299
00:10:16,710 --> 00:10:13,839
matter how scared i was

300
00:10:18,870 --> 00:10:16,720
and how none of this made sense i almost

301
00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:18,880
felt compelled to go to the door

302
00:10:23,110 --> 00:10:21,360
like i had an urge to help them i

303
00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:23,120
suppressed it the best i could and

304
00:10:26,870 --> 00:10:24,720
ignore them anyway

305
00:10:29,110 --> 00:10:26,880
then the same voice said ma'am please

306
00:10:31,430 --> 00:10:29,120
let us in i saw you through the window

307
00:10:32,389 --> 00:10:31,440
i know you're there it will only take a

308
00:10:38,550 --> 00:10:32,399
moment

309
00:10:41,269 --> 00:10:38,560
what kid says that i was frozen in fear

310
00:10:43,430 --> 00:10:41,279
and just refused to answer them at all

311
00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:43,440
i waited for them to go away and didn't

312
00:10:45,990 --> 00:10:45,760
dare look out my window because i just

313
00:10:48,069 --> 00:10:46,000
knew

314
00:10:50,870 --> 00:10:48,079
they were right next to it and would be

315
00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:50,880
staring back at me with pitch black eyes

316
00:10:55,509 --> 00:10:53,680
then after a few seconds of silence they

317
00:10:58,710 --> 00:10:55,519
started pounding on my window

318
00:11:01,030 --> 00:10:58,720
and i heard the same voice again let us

319
00:11:02,150 --> 00:11:01,040
and please it's cold and we have to call

320
00:11:04,790 --> 00:11:02,160
our mom

321
00:11:06,630 --> 00:11:04,800
she will be worried if we don't call her

322
00:11:07,190 --> 00:11:06,640
i honestly couldn't believe what i was

323
00:11:09,190 --> 00:11:07,200
hearing

324
00:11:11,430 --> 00:11:09,200
it sounded just like what happened in

325
00:11:13,910 --> 00:11:11,440
all the stories i've been reading

326
00:11:15,670 --> 00:11:13,920
at this point i was almost in tears i

327
00:11:17,829 --> 00:11:15,680
was so freaked out

328
00:11:19,190 --> 00:11:17,839
my heart felt like it was gonna bust out

329
00:11:21,590 --> 00:11:19,200
of my chest

330
00:11:22,550 --> 00:11:21,600
i still stayed silent and didn't answer

331
00:11:24,710 --> 00:11:22,560
the door

332
00:11:27,590 --> 00:11:24,720
i just sat back against the arm of my

333
00:11:29,670 --> 00:11:27,600
couch and held my legs up to my chest

334
00:11:31,030 --> 00:11:29,680
there was no way i was answering that

335
00:11:33,350 --> 00:11:31,040
freaking door

336
00:11:35,350 --> 00:11:33,360
i stayed that way for about half an hour

337
00:11:37,110 --> 00:11:35,360
until i was sure they were gone and

338
00:11:39,110 --> 00:11:37,120
everything was quiet

339
00:11:41,350 --> 00:11:39,120
my dogs at this point had run into my

340
00:11:43,509 --> 00:11:41,360
room and i had to go get them out and

341
00:11:45,829 --> 00:11:43,519
hold them because i was just terrified

342
00:11:48,389 --> 00:11:45,839
and needed some kind of comfort

343
00:11:50,389 --> 00:11:48,399
i never saw these kids eyes i have no

344
00:11:50,949 --> 00:11:50,399
idea for sure if they were black eyed

345
00:11:53,430 --> 00:11:50,959
kids

346
00:11:53,990 --> 00:11:53,440
but i definitely believe that they were

347
00:11:55,829 --> 00:11:54,000
i grab

348
00:11:57,990 --> 00:11:55,839
my phone and call my friend who had

349
00:11:59,829 --> 00:11:58,000
suggested i read the stories and woke

350
00:12:01,110 --> 00:11:59,839
her up and begged her to come stay the

351
00:12:03,030 --> 00:12:01,120
night with me

352
00:12:04,629 --> 00:12:03,040
after i told her what happened she

353
00:12:07,350 --> 00:12:04,639
agreed right away

354
00:12:08,069 --> 00:12:07,360
about 15 minutes later she still wasn't

355
00:12:10,230 --> 00:12:08,079
here

356
00:12:12,550 --> 00:12:10,240
i started to get worried because she

357
00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:12,560
only lives on the next street over

358
00:12:16,069 --> 00:12:14,560
it should have taken her not even five

359
00:12:18,310 --> 00:12:16,079
minutes to get here

360
00:12:20,790 --> 00:12:18,320
then at that point i saw headlights in

361
00:12:22,790 --> 00:12:20,800
my driveway and looked out the window

362
00:12:24,710 --> 00:12:22,800
i saw her get out of her car and run to

363
00:12:26,710 --> 00:12:24,720
my door banging on it

364
00:12:29,110 --> 00:12:26,720
i let her in immediately and she was

365
00:12:29,670 --> 00:12:29,120
crying had this terrified look on her

366
00:12:31,990 --> 00:12:29,680
face

367
00:12:34,230 --> 00:12:32,000
and said you aren't gonna believe this

368
00:12:36,550 --> 00:12:34,240
but i swear to god i just encountered

369
00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:36,560
the two kids you told me about

370
00:12:40,710 --> 00:12:38,880
she said she was at a stop sign and

371
00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:40,720
check her phone for a second when this

372
00:12:44,870 --> 00:12:42,720
kid knocked on her window

373
00:12:47,110 --> 00:12:44,880
it startled her so she looked up and

374
00:12:48,790 --> 00:12:47,120
strangely the street lights were out so

375
00:12:50,870 --> 00:12:48,800
she couldn't see his face

376
00:12:52,949 --> 00:12:50,880
but there was another younger kid behind

377
00:12:55,750 --> 00:12:52,959
him she cracked the window

378
00:12:56,389 --> 00:12:55,760
already apprehensive and said can i help

379
00:12:59,190 --> 00:12:56,399
you

380
00:12:59,910 --> 00:12:59,200
and the kid said give us a ride in a

381
00:13:02,629 --> 00:12:59,920
demanding

382
00:13:03,829 --> 00:13:02,639
overly confident voice for a child she

383
00:13:05,829 --> 00:13:03,839
didn't say anything

384
00:13:07,829 --> 00:13:05,839
and the kids stepped toward her car and

385
00:13:09,350 --> 00:13:07,839
he was close enough now that she noticed

386
00:13:12,310 --> 00:13:09,360
he had jet black eyes

387
00:13:14,069 --> 00:13:12,320
wall-to-wall black no white she said she

388
00:13:15,990 --> 00:13:14,079
wanted to drive away immediately

389
00:13:18,389 --> 00:13:16,000
but felt like she was being pulled into

390
00:13:21,110 --> 00:13:18,399
his stair almost opening her door before

391
00:13:22,870 --> 00:13:21,120
she snapped out of it but she didn't

392
00:13:24,550 --> 00:13:22,880
she gunned the gas pedal and went

393
00:13:26,790 --> 00:13:24,560
straight to my house

394
00:13:28,230 --> 00:13:26,800
we stayed up the rest of the night

395
00:13:30,389 --> 00:13:28,240
according to the stories

396
00:13:32,710 --> 00:13:30,399
they usually pay you more than one visit

397
00:13:34,870 --> 00:13:32,720
so i'm gonna take a ton of melatonin

398
00:13:35,910 --> 00:13:34,880
and knock myself out tonight to try to

399
00:13:38,310 --> 00:13:35,920
sleep right through

400
00:13:39,590 --> 00:13:38,320
in case they decide to come again

401
00:13:42,550 --> 00:13:39,600
believe me or not

402
00:13:44,230 --> 00:13:42,560
this really happened on stevens avenue

403
00:13:46,790 --> 00:13:44,240
in five points

404
00:13:48,150 --> 00:13:46,800
right here in huntsville lock your doors

405
00:13:50,310 --> 00:13:48,160

406
00:13:51,269 --> 00:13:50,320
any child that comes to your door asking

407
00:13:59,430 --> 00:13:51,279
