10
00:00:37,750 --> 00:00:35,040
black eyed kids and a female companion

11
00:00:38,790 --> 00:00:37,760
i let them in in 2006 in livonia

12
00:00:40,630 --> 00:00:38,800
michigan

13
00:00:43,350 --> 00:00:40,640
i was working alone at night in a

14
00:00:45,990 --> 00:00:43,360
flooring store when two black eyed kids

15
00:00:48,549 --> 00:00:46,000
the boy looked about five or six and the

16
00:00:49,029 --> 00:00:48,559
girl looked about girl 11 or 12 years

17
00:00:51,590 --> 00:00:49,039
old

18
00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:51,600
accompanied by an almond eyed woman came

19
00:00:55,510 --> 00:00:52,960
into my store

20
00:00:56,709 --> 00:00:55,520
long story short the youngest asked to

21
00:00:59,750 --> 00:00:56,719
use her restroom

22
00:01:02,150 --> 00:00:59,760
and i said sure it's right over there

23
00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:02,160
the women quickly interrupted and said

24
00:01:06,230 --> 00:01:04,000
no we are leaving

25
00:01:08,310 --> 00:01:06,240
they left without incident and i never

26
00:01:10,630 --> 00:01:08,320
felt scared or in danger

27
00:01:12,469 --> 00:01:10,640
i was undoubtedly uneasy though because

28
00:01:15,109 --> 00:01:12,479
of their different appearance

29
00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:15,119
the kids eyes were completely black and

30
00:01:19,990 --> 00:01:17,520
looked to be made out of a tar substance

31
00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:20,000
while the woman was very tall with large

32
00:01:24,310 --> 00:01:21,360
almond shaped ties

33
00:01:26,070 --> 00:01:24,320
and actually extremely pretty i've never

34
00:01:28,149 --> 00:01:26,080
heard another story with the two

35
00:01:30,390 --> 00:01:28,159
black-eyed kids being with a woman

36
00:01:32,149 --> 00:01:30,400
before here and i've looked

37
00:01:34,390 --> 00:01:32,159
and through research the thing that made

38
00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:34,400
the most sense in my situation was

39
00:01:38,469 --> 00:01:36,000
ancient eastern beliefs

40
00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:38,479
say that black-eyed kids are bringers of

41
00:01:43,590 --> 00:01:41,840
bad fortune this adds up in my situation

42
00:01:44,870 --> 00:01:43,600
even though everything could still be

43
00:01:46,469 --> 00:01:44,880
coincidence

44
00:01:48,630 --> 00:01:46,479
other interesting notes from my

45
00:01:50,630 --> 00:01:48,640
encounter are when the young boy spoke

46
00:01:52,069 --> 00:01:50,640
but i couldn't understand the thing he

47
00:01:54,469 --> 00:01:52,079
said he was between

48
00:01:56,069 --> 00:01:54,479
five and six remember and the girl had

49
00:01:58,789 --> 00:01:56,079
to tell me what he said

50
00:02:01,270 --> 00:01:58,799
which was to use our restroom and even

51
00:02:03,670 --> 00:02:01,280
though it sounds completely fabricated

52
00:02:05,749 --> 00:02:03,680
i was reading user submitted stories

53
00:02:06,310 --> 00:02:05,759
that had a few stories of black eyed

54
00:02:08,949 --> 00:02:06,320
kids

55
00:02:10,869 --> 00:02:08,959
the weeks leading up to my encounter i

56
00:02:11,750 --> 00:02:10,879
always knew that was a super weird

57
00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:11,760
coincidence

58
00:02:15,510 --> 00:02:13,920
but only recently i've been hearing that

59
00:02:18,070 --> 00:02:15,520
reading and thinking about them

60
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:18,080
which might draw them to you i'm sure

61
00:02:22,229 --> 00:02:20,400
most of the stories we hear on becks are

62
00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:22,239
made up and sensationalized

63
00:02:28,309 --> 00:02:25,440
but rest assured many others are 100

64
00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:28,319
true the woman gave me weirder feelings

65
00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:30,239
than the black eyed kids did

66
00:02:35,589 --> 00:02:33,280
not bad feelings but weird she was

67
00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:35,599
actually very pretty and nice

68
00:02:40,309 --> 00:02:38,080
i never hear about the black eyed kids

69
00:02:42,070 --> 00:02:40,319
being with her and others stories

70
00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:42,080
but i honestly don't think they were

71
00:02:45,670 --> 00:02:44,640
aliens even though i have no idea what

72
00:02:54,470 --> 00:02:45,680
they were

73
00:02:58,390 --> 00:02:57,030
atlantic city bek threat back in

74
00:03:00,229 --> 00:02:58,400
september of last year

75
00:03:01,990 --> 00:03:00,239
my girlfriend and i were staying at a

76
00:03:04,309 --> 00:03:02,000
hotel in atlantic city

77
00:03:06,390 --> 00:03:04,319
it wasn't a large hotel and casino but

78
00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:06,400
it was a nice place regardless

79
00:03:10,470 --> 00:03:08,640
it was early saturday morning we were

80
00:03:11,350 --> 00:03:10,480
awake in hosting another couple from

81
00:03:13,110 --> 00:03:11,360
philadelphia

82
00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:13,120
sharing stories and enjoying each

83
00:03:17,110 --> 00:03:14,800
other's company well

84
00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:17,120
at about 2am we realized that we were

85
00:03:20,390 --> 00:03:18,959
out of beer and we really didn't feel

86
00:03:22,149 --> 00:03:20,400
like calling it a night

87
00:03:24,149 --> 00:03:22,159
my girlfriend told me that there were a

88
00:03:25,509 --> 00:03:24,159
couple of bottles of sparkling wine in

89
00:03:27,910 --> 00:03:25,519
the trunk of the car

90
00:03:29,990 --> 00:03:27,920
so she tossed me the keys and i made my

91
00:03:31,990 --> 00:03:30,000
way out to where the car was parked

92
00:03:34,229 --> 00:03:32,000
the parking wasn't very convenient at

93
00:03:36,390 --> 00:03:34,239
this hotel so we had ended up parking in

94
00:03:37,190 --> 00:03:36,400
a spot off on a side street over a block

95
00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:37,200
away

96
00:03:40,390 --> 00:03:39,040
i could hear the noises coming from a

97
00:03:42,470 --> 00:03:40,400
club down the street

98
00:03:44,710 --> 00:03:42,480
but as i walked to the car i found

99
00:03:46,390 --> 00:03:44,720
myself feeling unusually alone

100
00:03:49,030 --> 00:03:46,400
i turned down the street to where the

101
00:03:50,869 --> 00:03:49,040
car was parked the air was very heavy

102
00:03:53,429 --> 00:03:50,879
misty with drizzling rain and the

103
00:03:55,270 --> 00:03:53,439
streetlips reflected on the wet sidewalk

104
00:03:57,670 --> 00:03:55,280
as i reached the car and unlocked the

105
00:04:00,550 --> 00:03:57,680
trunk i heard this voice call out

106
00:04:02,390 --> 00:04:00,560
sir i was very startled and i quickly

107
00:04:04,789 --> 00:04:02,400
turned around to a teen boy who was

108
00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:04,799
gazing at me from just a few feet away

109
00:04:08,470 --> 00:04:07,200
i was really unnerved and i jumped back

110
00:04:11,030 --> 00:04:08,480
and said something like

111
00:04:13,429 --> 00:04:11,040
man you scared the crap out of me this

112
00:04:16,069 --> 00:04:13,439
boy just kept looking at me unfazed

113
00:04:18,469 --> 00:04:16,079
he appeared to be 16 or so wearing old

114
00:04:20,469 --> 00:04:18,479
faded jeans and a dark hoodie sweatshirt

115
00:04:22,069 --> 00:04:20,479
then i noticed that his eyes reflected

116
00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:22,079
the light from the street lump and were

117
00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:23,520
completely black

118
00:04:27,350 --> 00:04:25,440
i thought that he may have been on drugs

119
00:04:29,189 --> 00:04:27,360
causing his eyes to dilate

120
00:04:30,950 --> 00:04:29,199
but he didn't seem to be high and

121
00:04:33,350 --> 00:04:30,960
appeared calm and sober

122
00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:33,360
regardless i was totally alarmed by this

123
00:04:36,950 --> 00:04:34,320
encounter

124
00:04:39,270 --> 00:04:36,960
he then said i'm lost and tired could

125
00:04:40,870 --> 00:04:39,280
you give me a ride to my mom's house

126
00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:40,880
but this kid didn't look tired or

127
00:04:44,469 --> 00:04:42,960
worried at all it was almost like a

128
00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:44,479
predator leering at its prey

129
00:04:48,710 --> 00:04:46,880
and i was beginning to feel fear he

130
00:04:50,950 --> 00:04:48,720
started to move closer to me

131
00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:50,960
i immediately broke eye contact from the

132
00:04:55,350 --> 00:04:53,280
boy it wasn't easy to do

133
00:04:57,510 --> 00:04:55,360
his eyes were compelling as the deep

134
00:04:59,510 --> 00:04:57,520
cold blackness sought my attention

135
00:05:00,550 --> 00:04:59,520
i sensed a venerable energy trying to

136
00:05:02,629 --> 00:05:00,560
control me

137
00:05:03,990 --> 00:05:02,639
i backed off and stepped up onto the

138
00:05:07,110 --> 00:05:04,000
curb i uttered

139
00:05:08,150 --> 00:05:07,120
no i can't i have friends waiting i kept

140
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:08,160
looking down

141
00:05:12,230 --> 00:05:10,320
i didn't want to look at his black eyes

142
00:05:12,870 --> 00:05:12,240
feeling like an insect in the spider's

143
00:05:15,590 --> 00:05:12,880
web

144
00:05:16,710 --> 00:05:15,600
after a few seconds he responded okay

145
00:05:18,950 --> 00:05:16,720
never mind

146
00:05:19,749 --> 00:05:18,960
here come my friends i looked up and

147
00:05:21,590 --> 00:05:19,759
passed him

148
00:05:23,110 --> 00:05:21,600
there were two young kids about a block

149
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:23,120
away and they were walking in our

150
00:05:25,830 --> 00:05:24,000
direction

151
00:05:27,590 --> 00:05:25,840
then i noticed that they weren't walking

152
00:05:29,270 --> 00:05:27,600
that their legs weren't moving

153
00:05:31,590 --> 00:05:29,280
they hovered a few inches above the

154
00:05:33,510 --> 00:05:31,600
sidewalk and were floating towards us

155
00:05:35,430 --> 00:05:33,520
i freaked out and quickly turned around

156
00:05:38,070 --> 00:05:35,440
to run as i did so

157
00:05:39,830 --> 00:05:38,080
i heard a horrifying groan behind me i

158
00:05:40,469 --> 00:05:39,840
ran faster than i ever thought was

159
00:05:42,950 --> 00:05:40,479
possible

160
00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:42,960
directly towards the hotel i felt like

161
00:05:46,629 --> 00:05:44,479
they were right behind me

162
00:05:47,749 --> 00:05:46,639
i has the painful sensation of something

163
00:05:50,070 --> 00:05:47,759
clawing at my back

164
00:05:51,110 --> 00:05:50,080
a feeling i will never forget it was

165
00:05:53,189 --> 00:05:51,120
pure terror

166
00:05:55,670 --> 00:05:53,199
when i reached the entrance to the hotel

167
00:05:58,150 --> 00:05:55,680
i looked back and found myself alone

168
00:05:59,990 --> 00:05:58,160
i continued moving quickly not stopping

169
00:06:01,590 --> 00:06:00,000
until i was back in my room

170
00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:01,600
my girlfriend and the couple were

171
00:06:04,629 --> 00:06:03,440
startled to see me panting and bending

172
00:06:06,710 --> 00:06:04,639
over in pain

173
00:06:09,110 --> 00:06:06,720
they asked what happened where's the

174
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:09,120
wine i collapsed onto the couch and

175
00:06:11,590 --> 00:06:10,880
didn't speak until i could catch my

176
00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:11,600
breath

177
00:06:16,150 --> 00:06:13,600
i never told them what really occurred

178
00:06:18,629 --> 00:06:16,160
only that some thugs tried to attack me

179
00:06:20,550 --> 00:06:18,639
i no longer felt like playing host and i

180
00:06:21,270 --> 00:06:20,560
told my guests that i wanted to call it

181
00:06:23,430 --> 00:06:21,280
a night

182
00:06:25,909 --> 00:06:23,440
i didn't sleep a wink that night fearing

183
00:06:32,790 --> 00:06:25,919
that these black-eyed kids would find me

184
00:06:37,110 --> 00:06:35,270
black-eyed kids are the killers i live

185
00:06:38,629 --> 00:06:37,120
in broward kanji florida

186
00:06:40,710 --> 00:06:38,639
something odd and frightening occurred

187
00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:40,720
last summer i woke up during the night

188
00:06:44,150 --> 00:06:42,880
around 2 am to a boy and girl knocking

189
00:06:46,309 --> 00:06:44,160
on my front door

190
00:06:48,070 --> 00:06:46,319
i thought there may be an emergency so i

191
00:06:50,230 --> 00:06:48,080
opened the door and the two were just

192
00:06:51,189 --> 00:06:50,240
standing there staring at me i asked

193
00:06:52,710 --> 00:06:51,199
what was going on

194
00:06:55,110 --> 00:06:52,720
and they told him they needed to come

195
00:06:55,990 --> 00:06:55,120
inside i asked why but they didn't

196
00:06:57,589 --> 00:06:56,000
answer me

197
00:06:59,029 --> 00:06:57,599
i then asked them if they were in some

198
00:07:01,350 --> 00:06:59,039
kind of trouble or lost

199
00:07:03,110 --> 00:07:01,360
but they just stared at me i was getting

200
00:07:03,749 --> 00:07:03,120
pissed and starting to wake up at this

201
00:07:05,270 --> 00:07:03,759
point

202
00:07:07,350 --> 00:07:05,280
that's when i took a closer look at

203
00:07:08,629 --> 00:07:07,360
these two kids and noticed that neither

204
00:07:11,189 --> 00:07:08,639
had whites in their eye

205
00:07:13,029 --> 00:07:11,199
fat they didn't seem to have pupils i

206
00:07:14,390 --> 00:07:13,039
freaked out and told them to go home and

207
00:07:16,230 --> 00:07:14,400
quickly shut the door

208
00:07:18,390 --> 00:07:16,240
i called the local cops and told them

209
00:07:19,749 --> 00:07:18,400
that two kids were knocking on doors

210
00:07:21,589 --> 00:07:19,759
the cruiser was sent out to the

211
00:07:22,710 --> 00:07:21,599
neighborhood but they didn't find anyone

212
00:07:24,550 --> 00:07:22,720
walking around

213
00:07:26,710 --> 00:07:24,560
they figured it was just local kids

214
00:07:28,309 --> 00:07:26,720
messing around the more i thought about

215
00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:28,319
what happened the more i got any

216
00:07:32,550 --> 00:07:30,639
reaction to the encounter a few days

217
00:07:34,309 --> 00:07:32,560
later i was pulling up to my house and

218
00:07:35,670 --> 00:07:34,319
saw the same two kids standing on the

219
00:07:37,830 --> 00:07:35,680
corner of my street

220
00:07:39,670 --> 00:07:37,840
a dark haired girl about 12 years old

221
00:07:42,070 --> 00:07:39,680
and a boy with similar color chair

222
00:07:43,670 --> 00:07:42,080
probably the same age both kids were

223
00:07:45,510 --> 00:07:43,680
just standing on the street corner

224
00:07:47,670 --> 00:07:45,520
staring at my neighbor's house

225
00:07:48,629 --> 00:07:47,680
i stood in my driveway for a few seconds

226
00:07:50,950 --> 00:07:48,639
and watched them

227
00:07:52,390 --> 00:07:50,960
they didn't say or do anything i walked

228
00:07:54,230 --> 00:07:52,400
inside did a few things

229
00:07:55,749 --> 00:07:54,240
then walked back outside to see if the

230
00:07:58,070 --> 00:07:55,759
two kids were still there

231
00:07:59,749 --> 00:07:58,080
they were gone that same night i again

232
00:08:00,629 --> 00:07:59,759
woke around midnight to the sound of

233
00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:00,639
sirens

234
00:08:04,550 --> 00:08:02,800
my neighbor's house was on fire there

235
00:08:05,430 --> 00:08:04,560
were fire trucks in the front and in the

236
00:08:07,350 --> 00:08:05,440
back alley

237
00:08:09,270 --> 00:08:07,360
i later spoke to the cops and told them

238
00:08:11,270 --> 00:08:09,280
that those same two kids were staring at

239
00:08:12,950 --> 00:08:11,280
my neighbor's house earlier that day

240
00:08:15,350 --> 00:08:12,960
the cops didn't seem to think it was

241
00:08:16,950 --> 00:08:15,360
important then later that night the body

242
00:08:17,670 --> 00:08:16,960
of my neighbor was found in the fire

243
00:08:19,110 --> 00:08:17,680
debris

244
00:08:20,869 --> 00:08:19,120
it was determined that she had been

245
00:08:22,790 --> 00:08:20,879
bludgeoned and stabbed to death

246
00:08:24,790 --> 00:08:22,800
i was brought into the police department

247
00:08:26,309 --> 00:08:24,800
in question for several hours

248
00:08:28,230 --> 00:08:26,319
i believe that they thought i may have

249
00:08:29,749 --> 00:08:28,240
killed my neighbor the cops then

250
00:08:31,990 --> 00:08:29,759
seemed to think that her boyfriend was

251
00:08:34,310 --> 00:08:32,000
involved after a couple of days or so

252
00:08:36,550 --> 00:08:34,320
the cops came back to question me again

253
00:08:38,709 --> 00:08:36,560
the boyfriend had an airtight alibi but

254
00:08:40,310 --> 00:08:38,719
they still never asked about the kids

255
00:08:42,709 --> 00:08:40,320
i have been afraid to bring it up the

256
00:08:44,310 --> 00:08:42,719
cops in particular about the black eyes

257
00:08:46,470 --> 00:08:44,320
and how bizarre they acted

258
00:08:48,150 --> 00:08:46,480
i fear that i will become a suspect if i

259
00:08:49,190 --> 00:08:48,160
start telling them about my bizarre

260
00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:49,200
experience

261
00:08:53,910 --> 00:08:50,640
i still don't believe they have a

262
00:09:01,030 --> 00:08:53,920
suspect i fear that those kids may turn

263
00:09:05,670 --> 00:09:03,590
bloody black eyed kids i live near

264
00:09:07,829 --> 00:09:05,680
sydney in a busy part of town

265
00:09:09,430 --> 00:09:07,839
one afternoon i was asleep as i worked

266
00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:09,440
nights and there was a knocking on the

267
00:09:12,870 --> 00:09:10,399
front door

268
00:09:14,949 --> 00:09:12,880
i had to walk down the stairs to answer

269
00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:14,959
whoever was knocking was very persistent

270
00:09:18,630 --> 00:09:16,800
so i couldn't just ignore it

271
00:09:20,550 --> 00:09:18,640
i went down and looked through the spy

272
00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:20,560
hole and saw two young girls

273
00:09:24,150 --> 00:09:22,240
i couldn't see much of them and asked

274
00:09:27,190 --> 00:09:24,160
what they wanted one said

275
00:09:28,790 --> 00:09:27,200
we hurt let us in we hurt i couldn't

276
00:09:31,110 --> 00:09:28,800
make out their faces and then

277
00:09:32,949 --> 00:09:31,120
noticed there was blood on their hands i

278
00:09:35,110 --> 00:09:32,959
opened the door and they hurried in

279
00:09:37,509 --> 00:09:35,120
i was still a bit groovy from sleep but

280
00:09:39,030 --> 00:09:37,519
saw the blood on their clothes and hands

281
00:09:41,110 --> 00:09:39,040
i asked where their parents were and

282
00:09:42,870 --> 00:09:41,120
they just said far away

283
00:09:44,630 --> 00:09:42,880
i told them i would call an ambulance

284
00:09:46,870 --> 00:09:44,640
and turn to get my phone

285
00:09:48,790 --> 00:09:46,880
as i did the brown head girl grabbed my

286
00:09:51,670 --> 00:09:48,800
arm with a lot of strength and told me

287
00:09:53,430 --> 00:09:51,680
not to go i was taken aback by this

288
00:09:54,949 --> 00:09:53,440
i looked at her face and saw that she

289
00:09:56,710 --> 00:09:54,959
had pure black eyes

290
00:09:59,030 --> 00:09:56,720
this freaked me out and i pulled out of

291
00:09:59,509 --> 00:09:59,040
the grasp a little too hard and i went

292
00:10:01,750 --> 00:09:59,519
to grab

293
00:10:03,910 --> 00:10:01,760
my phone that was in the next room this

294
00:10:05,829 --> 00:10:03,920
all occurred in under my mute and i was

295
00:10:08,150 --> 00:10:05,839
quite shocked that this was happening

296
00:10:09,030 --> 00:10:08,160
when i got back they were gone i checked

297
00:10:11,190 --> 00:10:09,040
the house

298
00:10:12,710 --> 00:10:11,200
they had vanished i ran out the front

299
00:10:13,190 --> 00:10:12,720
and down the stairs to look down the

300
00:10:15,350 --> 00:10:13,200
street

301
00:10:17,670 --> 00:10:15,360
but still nothing i was thinking to

302
00:10:19,430 --> 00:10:17,680
myself that i must be stuck in a dream

303
00:10:21,269 --> 00:10:19,440
i thought that until i got to my steps

304
00:10:21,670 --> 00:10:21,279
and saw the blood stains on my front

305
00:10:23,509 --> 00:10:21,680
door

306
00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:23,519
then saw the blood on my arm and it

307
00:10:26,790 --> 00:10:24,720
wasn't mine

308
00:10:28,710 --> 00:10:26,800
i told my wife when she got home and she

309
00:10:29,590 --> 00:10:28,720
showed me the black-eyed kids info on

310
00:10:31,910 --> 00:10:29,600
the internet

311
00:10:33,750 --> 00:10:31,920
i'd never heard of them before i had a

312
00:10:34,710 --> 00:10:33,760
few bruises on my arm from when that

313
00:10:42,150 --> 00:10:34,720
child grabbed me
