Speaker 1: And the countdown continues. Ladies, gentlemen, vaisin them's welcome to
Speaker 1: Halloween Week with Wikied and Grim. My name is Jacko
Speaker 1: and I am your master of ceremonies and will be
Speaker 1: for the next three days.
Speaker 2: We've toured through the.
Speaker 1: Ideas of urban legends.
Speaker 2: We've played games and heard stories glow that will turn
Speaker 2: your soul. But these have only been fun so far.
Speaker 2: Now we get a little more serious, a little more
Speaker 2: darker and twisted with our final urban legend't to do so, however,
Speaker 2: we need our hosts as always, so without further ado,
Speaker 2: here is Ben and Nicole.
Speaker 3: It's the final countdown. Do I was chosen to take
Speaker 3: it quite to the level, but then you did, so
Speaker 3: I went with it.
Speaker 4: How can you not start doing that too?
Speaker 3: Countdown? Delute?
Speaker 4: Like see I just if you do that, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: go dilute it right away. It happens.
Speaker 3: I can't believe how it's just like the week just
Speaker 3: flying by it.
Speaker 4: I know we're on the final three days. Wow, it's insane.
Speaker 3: Wow. I know it's funny because we want some messages
Speaker 3: of what people are being going to be, Like, how
Speaker 3: the heck am I going to go back to just
Speaker 3: like one day a week of this, I know, right, Like,
Speaker 3: what are you doing to me?
Speaker 4: It's it's been fun doing this, but trust me, it's
Speaker 4: been hard to maintain. But we're loving this. This is
Speaker 4: so much fun, and you guys are making it just
Speaker 4: incredibly fun to put this out there. So thank you, guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think if we didn't have like our other jobs,
Speaker 3: it would be totally doable.
Speaker 4: Oh definitely.
Speaker 3: But but then also too, like just being a listener too.
Speaker 3: I think if like a podcast literally had one out
Speaker 3: every day, you'd get like drastically behind Ary, oh for sure,
Speaker 3: for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I don't know either way. We're doing our best.
Speaker 4: We're getting stuff out there, and so far it's been
Speaker 4: a great week.
Speaker 3: We're having fun doing it. Yeah, which is the most
Speaker 3: important thing.
Speaker 4: And what you've got for us today, I'm super stoked
Speaker 4: for I know of this.
Speaker 3: We do Actually, I know you might even have some
Speaker 3: like stuff to throw in there.
Speaker 4: I doubt it. It's been a while since if I
Speaker 4: if I can think of it, I will. It's been
Speaker 4: a while since I've really dove into this, and I
Speaker 4: haven't dove too deep. But I definitely introduced you to
Speaker 4: this case and you're like, I want to fucking do that.
Speaker 4: So here we are.
Speaker 3: And I didn't find it overly stressful this case, and
Speaker 3: that's the case is I find like, well stressful, like
Speaker 3: they're sad or whatever. But like the research actually you
Speaker 3: just kind of like flowed and it was just good.
Speaker 3: It was so. But after researching this case, one thing
Speaker 3: I'm unsure about is if I will ever be able
Speaker 3: to look at a child the same way.
Speaker 4: Children as scary as fuck f YI.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is the case that the black eyed children,
Speaker 3: yes are black eyed kids. Sometimes they refer to as
Speaker 3: b e k's. Have you heard of that.
Speaker 4: I haven't heard that.
Speaker 3: Apparently I'm not going to really refer to them much
Speaker 3: as that, But that was one thing that I found out,
Speaker 3: so and I'm going to put a little warning out there,
Speaker 3: so proceed at your own risk, because not just one,
Speaker 3: but a couple articles I read said black eyed children
Speaker 3: only approach those that already know about them dun And
Speaker 3: so by the time I found out about this, I
Speaker 3: was already in pretty damn deep. So but there's also
Speaker 3: stories of people encountering these children that had like absolutely
Speaker 3: no idea, and so I mean, you might just be
Speaker 3: doomed either way.
Speaker 4: I think that's yeah, absolutely malarkey that they only approach
Speaker 4: people they know of, because let me put it this way,
Speaker 4: somewhere someone had to have been the first to encounter
Speaker 4: black eyed children, tu sche so black eyed children would
Speaker 4: have had to approach them them not knowing about it.
Speaker 3: So there was lots of stories, like even one I
Speaker 3: have in here where they didn't know about it. But
Speaker 3: you know what, I just was like, I'm just gonna
Speaker 3: put that warning in there. I don't want any anything
Speaker 3: on my back. So if you proceed and this happens
Speaker 3: to you, that's on you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, fair enough, you have been warned.
Speaker 3: You've been warned. Okay. So I'd say this is a
Speaker 3: pretty popular urban legend as well. There are many reports
Speaker 3: out there people saying they've encountered these children. But to start,
Speaker 3: what exactly are these children? Well, for one, they're creepy
Speaker 3: as fuck, Yes they are, hence me never being able
Speaker 3: to look at a child the same way again. But
Speaker 3: at first plants they generally look like normal human children,
Speaker 3: not necessarily threatening. They are between the ages of six
Speaker 3: and sixteen, with pale skin. But the real kicker, and
Speaker 3: I'm sure you've guessed it. Their eyes are completely black,
Speaker 3: described as black orbs that seem to peer into your soul.
Speaker 4: Don't don't do it, sorry, even like.
Speaker 3: The whites yeah, are black, Like it's just like black.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And I was like, holy because at first I thought
Speaker 3: it would just be like I guess the pupil, like
Speaker 3: it would be like just.
Speaker 4: The pupil and the iris. Yeah, but no, it's it's
Speaker 4: the whites. It's the entire the whole thing all is black.
Speaker 4: And I don't know if you're about to touch in
Speaker 4: this at all, but no one really knows, like if
Speaker 4: these are like cryptids or if they're paranormal or a
Speaker 4: demonic possession. They don't, like, no one knows.
Speaker 3: No, it's just yeah, I don't touch on a bit
Speaker 3: here too, so okay, which is yeah, it's wild. So
Speaker 3: it's also been reported that when these children are around you,
Speaker 3: you get a feeling of great unease that just washes
Speaker 3: the fuck over you, which I'm like, okay, that's like
Speaker 3: not okay. Nothing other than their eyes is generally all
Speaker 3: that frightening, but feelings ranging from anxiety to terror at
Speaker 3: their presence have all been described.
Speaker 4: Now the only thing I'm not too sure about that is,
Speaker 4: how is that any different of being in the presence
Speaker 4: of a regular child?
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I should have known your I was like,
Speaker 3: what are you? Where are you going with this?
Speaker 4: I mean kids are around me. I'm usually like super easy, anxious,
Speaker 4: and just like I want to get the fuck out
Speaker 4: of here? What is this thing?
Speaker 3: Wow? Can you tell we don't have children here? So
Speaker 3: a side note when I say these children are generally
Speaker 3: not frightening other than their eyes, there have been reports
Speaker 3: saying that they had some have had denomic Is that
Speaker 3: any say that features like, oh, demon on it?
Speaker 4: I was waiting for it. I could see the processing
Speaker 4: on your face.
Speaker 3: Demonic, demonic, Holy frig so features like, okay, it was talons.
Speaker 3: I've never I didn't even know what the frig that was.
Speaker 3: But it's a hooked claw looking foot.
Speaker 4: I've never heard that of the black children.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was what? Like it's some reports said that
Speaker 3: it was very few, but some reports would say that
Speaker 3: they did have like talent demonic features.
Speaker 4: Really, yeah, so have like claws in their hands and shit,
Speaker 4: yeah huh. I've only ever heard them having the black.
Speaker 3: Eyes I know. So then it's just like, is someone
Speaker 3: just taking this to a new level, like you know,
Speaker 3: I don't know. They are also common commonly commonly holy shit,
Speaker 3: when I like fuck up a word, it's just like
Speaker 3: downhill from there. It seems like I.
Speaker 4: Know, when I do it, it's like it spirals out
Speaker 4: of control. I need to like almost take a minute,
Speaker 4: I breathe to regain myself.
Speaker 3: I know a lot like so, I am shitty at
Speaker 3: pronouncing stuff, but then I'm also like talk too fast
Speaker 3: sometimes because I'm just like I just want to get
Speaker 3: it out there. And then it's just like whoa fair slow.
Speaker 4: You're not the only one who can pronounce shit. I
Speaker 4: do it all the time. It's a wicked and grim thing.
Speaker 3: This is okay. So they are also commonly described as
Speaker 3: wearing dated clothing, so not dressing like a typical child
Speaker 3: that age. And so see, to me, I picture this
Speaker 3: child showing up at the door dressed in say like
Speaker 3: nineteen fifties attire, and that to me is almost just
Speaker 3: as creepy as the black eyes, right because the first
Speaker 3: thing that you're going to see.
Speaker 4: Wait, sorry, the attire. Oh I was just thinking a
Speaker 4: child chewing up Oh my gosh, Okay, that was the
Speaker 4: last last one.
Speaker 3: The first thing that you're generally going to be seeing
Speaker 3: is their clothing because because they initially do conceal their
Speaker 3: black eyes like pretty well, and I'd be like, who
Speaker 3: the fuck are you? Like why is there this little
Speaker 3: nineteen fifties boy at my door? Like I just think
Speaker 3: I would run, but in a tiny home, I wouldn't
Speaker 3: have very far to run. So lots of reports of
Speaker 3: them also wearing hoodies with the hood up, and it's
Speaker 3: also easier to conceal their life sucking eyes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, or though like your gaze, I'll look down at
Speaker 4: the ground, they will.
Speaker 3: Make my contact yeap like creepy, uncontrollable actions have also
Speaker 3: been reported, and we'll get into that when we cover
Speaker 3: some of the stories of people's encounters with these children.
Speaker 3: But it seems that they have some sort of possession
Speaker 3: of you. Is how I took it now what they
Speaker 3: were after. They're generally asking for something, and it involves
Speaker 3: wanting to be in close quarters with you, so asking
Speaker 3: for a ride in your car, to enter your home,
Speaker 3: to use the phone or the bathroom for some examples.
Speaker 4: M hm.
Speaker 3: And I mean this is tough because these are children, right,
Speaker 3: So if you have like this six year old knocking
Speaker 3: at your door and they're wanting to like phone their
Speaker 3: mother to get home. Like, I mean, it would be
Speaker 3: very hard to just tell them to bugger off, like
Speaker 3: that's like a baby.
Speaker 4: Really Yeah, but until you see their jet black eyes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but up until that point, I think I would.
Speaker 3: I would just be like, what do you need, Like,
Speaker 3: how can I get you home?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Like, oh, just yeah, unless that unease feeling kicks in,
Speaker 4: because generally as soon as you start talking to them,
Speaker 4: most people say that they feel it right away or.
Speaker 3: Even if they even feel like before they even open
Speaker 3: the door.
Speaker 4: Yeah too.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't know, it's just touchy because it's
Speaker 3: not it's like, don't trust anyone. But then you also
Speaker 3: like don't want to be like not helping a kid
Speaker 3: if a kid needs help. I don't know. I just
Speaker 3: feel like it's a bit sketchy.
Speaker 4: I feel you, I feel you.
Speaker 3: So the one article is reading said the earliest sighting
Speaker 3: of a black eyed kid was by Brian Bethel in
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety six, who was a journalist, But then other
Speaker 3: reports said their stories dating back to the nineteen fifties
Speaker 3: or so. So I think Brian was just the first
Speaker 3: to put his story out there, and as it began
Speaker 3: to be seen by others, they spoke up and started
Speaker 3: sharing their stories.
Speaker 4: Gotcha. Okay.
Speaker 3: There have also been reports from multiple countries of black
Speaker 3: eyed children, so it's like a worldwide thing. And being
Speaker 3: that all of these most of the scriptions, like the
Speaker 3: majority of them are the same, and the incidents are
Speaker 3: like the same, so it just makes you think that,
Speaker 3: holy shit, like is this actually the real deal? You know?
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely there's something about the whole real deal situation.
Speaker 4: But I'm going to touch on it later because I
Speaker 4: know some of the stories that are going to come
Speaker 4: and it's gonna be a little more relevant then. But yeah,
Speaker 4: I feel you.
Speaker 3: I'm just shifting here. I never like comfort when I'm presenting.
Speaker 3: It's quite funny.
Speaker 4: You need to learn how to relax.
Speaker 3: I need to learn how to sit in a bean bag,
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's different presenting in a tiny home loft.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very interesting. Okay, So this is where I
Speaker 3: was going to touch on something you've kind of already
Speaker 3: touched about. It seems like no one really knows what
Speaker 3: these paranormal children are. Are they vampires? Are they aliens?
Speaker 3: Are they did not?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: How did you say that again? Oh?
Speaker 4: Shoot, now it's slipping my tongue. And I'm like trying
Speaker 4: to say it now it's slipping my tonguecause you're mixing
Speaker 4: up my brain.
Speaker 3: Demonic, demonic, demonic origin. So conspiraus, conspiras. Theorists believe that
Speaker 3: black eyed children are aliens trying to reach out to
Speaker 3: their earth, okay, and demonic ologists demonologists, okay, demon all, oh,
Speaker 3: I'm yeah whatever. Demonology believe they are children of the
Speaker 3: devil himself and if you let them in, you're allowing
Speaker 3: the devil to enter your life.
Speaker 4: I don't know about that. That seems a little that's
Speaker 4: a that's more of a stretch and aliens to me.
Speaker 3: But my I feel like just from reading stuff, I
Speaker 3: just feel like they're more towards the denot. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 3: I can't say that fucking word.
Speaker 4: Apparently, like I can demonic, d mond demonic, there you go.
Speaker 3: Denonic, Like I just can't say it anyway. That's like
Speaker 3: where I would probably put my guess more so, fair enough,
Speaker 3: fair enough, But I mean you all can have your
Speaker 3: own opinions, and we can have our own opinions. That's
Speaker 3: really fine.
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that it's not demons or Satan or
Speaker 4: anything like that. I'm not saying it's more probable that
Speaker 4: it's aliens. I'm just saying the whole you're letting Satan
Speaker 4: into your life specifically seems fucking too far fetched.
Speaker 3: To me, because you didn't ask them to come and stuff, right,
Speaker 3: so well, and even still.
Speaker 4: If just simply you letting them in your house means
Speaker 4: you're letting Satan into your life, that's pretty fucking easy.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure he'd be able to get in your
Speaker 4: life a lot, like he'd force himself in. There's other
Speaker 4: ways he'd just do it, other than possessing kids to
Speaker 4: knock on your door and ask to come in. I
Speaker 4: don't like he's not a vampire.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: That's why I think vampires be more logical because they're
Speaker 4: as commit Vampires have to be invited in.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but just like their black eyes and stuff seems
Speaker 3: more like a demon thing.
Speaker 4: I agree there, And like, I don't know just the satan.
Speaker 4: The satan part I think is too far fetched for me.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah, but they could be like a demon thing.
Speaker 3: I don't really necessarily know. I guess if i'd go
Speaker 3: right to Satan. But yeah, anyway, anyway, So to jump
Speaker 3: into some sightings, I'll start with Brian, since he was
Speaker 3: the front runner to release his story. His encounter with
Speaker 3: two was with two black I had children in Albanine, Texas.
Speaker 3: I hope I'm pronouncing that one right. He was out
Speaker 3: late one evening and had stopped in a parking lot
Speaker 3: near a movie theater busying his car writing a check.
Speaker 3: He didn't realize that two young boys had approached his car.
Speaker 3: The older boy tapped on his driver's side window, which
Speaker 3: was startling enough, like that would scare the shit out
Speaker 3: of me, to be honest, if I was in a
Speaker 3: dark parking lot someone tapped on my door a fuck
Speaker 3: And when Brian rolled down the window to see what
Speaker 3: they wanted, an immediate sense of bear washed over him
Speaker 3: that he just could not explain. The boys were wanting
Speaker 3: to see a movie but had forgotten their money at home,
Speaker 3: so asked Brian if he could give them a ride
Speaker 3: to go get it, assuring him that they were just
Speaker 3: two kids that did not have a gun like which
Speaker 3: so which is very odd to come from a kid's mouth,
Speaker 3: in my opinion, And it also came across as very
Speaker 3: unnerving to Brian, which I feel like rightfully, So.
Speaker 4: Man, don't worry, buddy, I'm not here to kill you.
Speaker 3: We're just kids. Like we're just kids. I feel like
Speaker 3: a kid would not just present that they don't have
Speaker 3: a gun, right Brian noted that the movie they were
Speaker 3: wanting to see had already started, so by the time
Speaker 3: he took them home and then they arrived back the
Speaker 3: movie theater, it would likely be closer to being over,
Speaker 3: like the movie would be pretty much done. At this point,
Speaker 3: he broke eye contact with them, his fear growing by
Speaker 3: the minute, and it wasn't until he broke eye contact
Speaker 3: that their eyes then became completely black. The older boy
Speaker 3: now is getting visually frustrated with Brian at the excuses
Speaker 3: he was giving them for not being able to give
Speaker 3: them a ride home, saying that they can't get into
Speaker 3: Brian's car unless he says it's okay. At this point,
Speaker 3: Brian had enough and he tore out of the parking lot,
Speaker 3: looking back in his rear rear mirror as he sped
Speaker 3: away and the boys were gone.
Speaker 4: I heard this that story like probably a dozen times now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's creepy.
Speaker 4: It broke eye contact part though, that's new. I haven't
Speaker 4: heard that.
Speaker 3: I know because I actually found that because I was like,
Speaker 3: what the heck did their eyes like change into black?
Speaker 3: Because it doesn't really make sense? And I looked at
Speaker 3: a few articles and each one said that way.
Speaker 4: Really, I've never heard that before.
Speaker 3: So I don't know if he just didn't realize, you know,
Speaker 3: maybe because they always start black, like I do think
Speaker 3: they ever changed?
Speaker 4: Can you can you go to that part again? K
Speaker 4: you read your notes? What does it say again? What
Speaker 4: do you have?
Speaker 3: Where was it? It wasn't until he broke eye contact
Speaker 3: that their eyes that their eyes then became completely black?
Speaker 4: What'd you say? A moment later? Right after that? Keep
Speaker 4: going that the.
Speaker 3: Boys boy now was getting visually frustrated. Hmmm, what are
Speaker 3: you looking for?
Speaker 4: I'm just I'm just intrigued, like to see if like,
Speaker 4: because that doesn't make sense because I thought their eyes
Speaker 4: were always.
Speaker 3: Black, I know from everything else cause I could see it,
Speaker 3: but it did seem like they were just always black.
Speaker 3: But then that one was worded differently, and I did
Speaker 3: check it in a few spots because I was like,
Speaker 3: did they change?
Speaker 4: Interesting?
Speaker 3: So I don't know. I can't say for one or
Speaker 3: the other. But I'm almost thinking maybe he just like this,
Speaker 3: the light or like a street light hit it wraw
Speaker 3: or differently or something.
Speaker 4: And well maybe like he was looking at them, and
Speaker 4: the boys were averting their gaze, and so when he
Speaker 4: looked away, then they looked up. That's kind of what
Speaker 4: I'm going to assume.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all I can say is that's creepy as shit. Yeah,
Speaker 3: So here's a and this one. Next one is a
Speaker 3: word for word description from someone. And I were going
Speaker 3: to drop the link to this publication in the show
Speaker 3: notes because they're they have about like fifteen other entries
Speaker 3: like this of incidents that they gather that are like
Speaker 3: of the most creepiest I suppose of these black eyed children.
Speaker 3: And I chose a Halloween one because Halloween week, of course,
Speaker 3: and it's Halloween is honestly more of a time where
Speaker 3: like more sightings happen. And whether that be actual, actual
Speaker 3: real sightings, or if it's just like kids playing pranks,
Speaker 3: you know, Yeah, I feel like people would probably play
Speaker 3: this as a.
Speaker 4: Prank sometimes probably probably I could.
Speaker 3: See that happening.
Speaker 4: Go buy some contacts or something like that from Halloween
Speaker 4: Alley and twenty bucks.
Speaker 3: Later you could get contacts that covered the whole whites
Speaker 3: and everything, though not the whole.
Speaker 4: Whites, but I mean it'll black out your eyes quite
Speaker 4: a bit, like at least the irises and stuff, and
Speaker 4: that might be enough for people to be like, yeah,
Speaker 4: I saw someone would just black like you know, like
Speaker 4: adrenaline or memories that aren't always accurate.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you're kind of like on edge too on Halloween.
Speaker 3: I kind of am, because I'm like one of those
Speaker 3: people that like doesn't answer the fucking door. Yeah, like
Speaker 3: if if I if someone comes to the door and
Speaker 3: I like don't know that they're coming, like, I'm probably.
Speaker 4: Not gonna open the door for well, especially since he
Speaker 4: started a true crime podcast, shut it Down, I was
Speaker 4: like that before.
Speaker 3: Fair enough, Okay, So it's titled warning to people in
Speaker 3: the Portland, Oregon metro area this Halloween boom, let's hear it.
Speaker 3: So here it goes. This really freaked me out. Yesterday
Speaker 3: I noticed my neighbor hadn't put out all his Halloween decorations, lights,
Speaker 3: et cetera. The past two years I've lived next to him,
Speaker 3: He's gone all out for Halloween. I don't know him well,
Speaker 3: he's younger signal, but I know I say that we're.
Speaker 4: Wrong all the time, you do you mess that one up.
Speaker 3: Sometimes, But I know he likes kids, not in a
Speaker 3: creepy way, which I was like, that's so weird.
Speaker 4: That clarification, Yeah, that we needed?
Speaker 3: Did we need that clarification? His brother and sister in
Speaker 3: law and their kids are always visiting him, and he
Speaker 3: plays with his three young nieces and nephews own in
Speaker 3: the yard. So anyway, I got home from work and
Speaker 3: was walking at my driveway and I saw him outside
Speaker 3: and said something like, hey man, you better get your
Speaker 3: Halloween stuff up or that house up the street is
Speaker 3: going to beat you for the best decorations. He kind
Speaker 3: of smiled sheeplessly and says he's actually going to keep
Speaker 3: his house dark this year and just put candy out.
Speaker 3: I asked him if he was going out of town
Speaker 3: or something, but he said no, something happened last year
Speaker 3: that really scared me. Now, I was concerned for my
Speaker 3: own safety if some weirdos were coming around our neighborhood,
Speaker 3: which is a pretty safe neighborhood with tons of young
Speaker 3: families living here. So I asked what happened. He said,
Speaker 3: last year he had his brother's family over so they
Speaker 3: could trick or treat in the neighborhood. Since they live
Speaker 3: in an apartment complex that doesn't do much for Halloween.
Speaker 3: Bunch of kids come to the to the door like always,
Speaker 3: His family took off around ten thirty and there were
Speaker 3: only a few older tricker treaters, but by eleven thirty
Speaker 3: they were pretty much done. And I was like, eleven thirty,
Speaker 3: who the fuck waits until then? Like we always shut
Speaker 3: it down by like nine, nine thirty. I'd feel like, right.
Speaker 4: Nine thirty, I think, yeah, but that's usually when like
Speaker 4: we're not in like main like uh areas where it's
Speaker 4: all concentrate with a bunch.
Speaker 3: Of kids trick or treating that late.
Speaker 4: Probably, I know I did a few times when I
Speaker 4: was younger.
Speaker 3: Really, I feel like like growing up, we had kids
Speaker 3: come to our house super late. It was like almost rude.
Speaker 3: I felt it was almost rude. So you were like rude, maybe.
Speaker 4: Okay, but I'd only go to ones with like lights
Speaker 4: on and stuff.
Speaker 3: Still, that's true, that's true. I think he says something
Speaker 3: about this, So he was inside watching TV or she
Speaker 3: because she's reporting on his incident, So he was inside
Speaker 3: watching TV and the doors he grabs the candy bowl.
Speaker 3: He heads over, noticing that it's a little past midnight.
Speaker 3: Oh and that's pretty rude for tricker teators to still
Speaker 3: be out. Okay, so like we're on the same page here.
Speaker 3: But then he notices that he hadn't turned off all
Speaker 3: his decorations and some lights were still alarmed. So his
Speaker 3: house is like, you.
Speaker 4: Know, it's still a beacon in the night there exactly.
Speaker 3: So he swings the door open and is about to
Speaker 3: yell boo or something to freak them out, but stops
Speaker 3: dead when he sees the kids at the door. He
Speaker 3: said one was probably around thirteen to fourteen and the
Speaker 3: other around sixteen to seventeen, both boys. They weren't dressed up,
Speaker 3: but he remembers the older boy was wearing a flannel
Speaker 3: checkered shirt. He was immediately overcome with uneasiness, like opening
Speaker 3: the door was a huge mistake. They just stared at him,
Speaker 3: and he noticed they had really big irises and diluted pupils.
Speaker 3: He couldn't even see the whites of their eyes, so
Speaker 3: he figured they were wearing contact lenses. He was frozen
Speaker 3: there holding the candy bowl like he couldn't slam the
Speaker 3: door in their face as much as he wanted to,
Speaker 3: so like what he wanted to do, he wasn't able
Speaker 3: to do, which was kind of what I had mentioned earlier, right,
Speaker 3: So he nervously tried to smile to smile at them,
Speaker 3: hoping they would break character and ask for candy or something.
Speaker 3: The younger one said they had gotten lost and needed
Speaker 3: to come in and use his phone. That was when
Speaker 3: he closed the door more than halfway on them and
Speaker 3: said no, sorry, and the other one said something like
Speaker 3: can we just wait in your house until our parents
Speaker 3: come get us. But by then he was convinced that
Speaker 3: his life was in danger and if these and these
Speaker 3: kids must be high on something or intending to rob him,
Speaker 3: and he just kept mumbling no, sorry, good night as
Speaker 3: he inched the door closed and locked it. He told
Speaker 3: me he was so fucking scared at this point that
Speaker 3: they were going to try to break in through one
Speaker 3: of the windows or something. But he looked through the
Speaker 3: people and they had turned to leap. He watched TV
Speaker 3: with the volume really low so he hear any sounds
Speaker 3: at all, and he stayed up until like five am
Speaker 3: because he was too scared to go to bed and
Speaker 3: drop his guard the whole time he's telling me this,
Speaker 3: I'm thinking, oh my god, this sounds so familiar, just
Speaker 3: like the Black Eyed Kids urban legend. Then I thought, hey,
Speaker 3: maybe this dude is trying to scare me, because after all,
Speaker 3: he does have the Halloween spirit. So I'm looking at
Speaker 3: him but trying not to seem too gullible. So I'm like, man,
Speaker 3: this is really crazy, sounds like the Black Eyed Kids.
Speaker 3: He just looks at me blankly the what is that
Speaker 3: a movie or something? And I said no, but told
Speaker 3: him to go look it up online. Like an hour later,
Speaker 3: I get a knock on my door and admittedly almost
Speaker 3: jump my skin, thinking it's a demon child. It was
Speaker 3: my neighbor, and his eyes were freaking huge. He swears
Speaker 3: to me up and down that he had never heard
Speaker 3: of the Black Eyed Kids before, and it's so sil
Speaker 3: similar to what happened to him. So we talked a
Speaker 3: while longer, and I told him that quite a few
Speaker 3: people probably know about that urban legend, and it's possible
Speaker 3: as just teenagers playing like a trick on him, trying
Speaker 3: to freak him out on Halloween. But he said the
Speaker 3: fear he felt was so primal and came over him
Speaker 3: the second he opened the door for them. Primal, Primal.
Speaker 4: Damn.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm like that scariest shit. That would actually
Speaker 3: really very much make me not decorate for Halloween I
Speaker 3: like partake in anything ever.
Speaker 4: Again, Oh definitely, that's an encounter I haven't heard before.
Speaker 3: No, no, that Like, honestly, if you're interested in this case,
Speaker 3: I think that you should go read more of them,
Speaker 3: because they were like pretty wild and I would love
Speaker 3: to read more. But it's also like you don't want
Speaker 3: to be here forever just listening to them.
Speaker 4: And of course Reddit's the rabbit hole for all this
Speaker 4: sort of stuff.
Speaker 3: So yeah, So there were some creeper stories on there too.
Speaker 3: One of them, this one like really creeped me out
Speaker 3: for some reason. I'm just like touching on it. But
Speaker 3: it was just a woman had like entered her apartment
Speaker 3: building and she lived on the third floor and she
Speaker 3: was going to like her balcony too, I don't know,
Speaker 3: I can't remember. It's like close the balcony or open
Speaker 3: it or whatever, and there was just two of them
Speaker 3: on her fucking balcony. What just two of these little
Speaker 3: black eyed kids just on her balcony, like staring at her.
Speaker 4: On her fucking balcony.
Speaker 3: And she's like third floor apartment, Like I would shit
Speaker 3: my pants.
Speaker 4: What the fuck did she do?
Speaker 3: You got to go read it?
Speaker 4: Do you have like do you know where this is?
Speaker 4: I don't want to go look for work?
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, do you need me to go look
Speaker 3: it up?
Speaker 4: Now? No? Not now, but like so I can, Okay,
Speaker 4: I can read it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna get the link. But like there there's
Speaker 3: like there's tons of wild stories, like you can go
Speaker 3: down a freaking rabbit hole in the black.
Speaker 4: Definitely, definitely Okay.
Speaker 3: So the last incident I wanted to touch on was
Speaker 3: an incident where the Homer homeowners actually let the children
Speaker 3: come into the house.
Speaker 4: Yes, this is this is the older couple, right, Yes, yes,
Speaker 4: I have heard this one. This is a very prominent
Speaker 4: story with this urban legend.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. It was in Vermont, and it involved
Speaker 3: an elderly couple because like, bless their hearts, because I'm
Speaker 3: sure they were just wanting to help these children, right,
Speaker 3: it's just like, oh my goodness. So there was a
Speaker 3: knock on their door and they opened it to find
Speaker 3: two children, a boy and a girl. The children told
Speaker 3: the elderly couple that their parents would be here soon,
Speaker 3: and made they come inside to wait for them, like
Speaker 3: what the fuck, making absolutely no eye contact. The couple
Speaker 3: was hesitant, but after a while they let the boy
Speaker 3: and girl inside. The kids settled on the coach while
Speaker 3: the wife went to make some hot chocolate for them,
Speaker 3: and the husband tried to ask the children some questions,
Speaker 3: which they did not answer, like they're not talking to
Speaker 3: them onsoever. When the wife returned, she noticed that her
Speaker 3: cat was scared and angry with the children right there.
Speaker 3: I'd be like, boom, fucked off. My animals don't like you.
Speaker 4: I don't like you, which is abnormal because this cat
Speaker 4: was supposedly really nice too, and I loved like everyone
Speaker 4: and would like generally come see company.
Speaker 3: But this time, Okay, I didn't read that. I didn't
Speaker 3: see that in there.
Speaker 4: Yeah that's what I've heard anyways.
Speaker 3: Well, because honestly, like walking the dogs, there's been people
Speaker 3: that I've walked by and they seem like agitated sometimes
Speaker 3: and I'm just like that person is not okay. Animals know,
Speaker 3: I know, so I'm almost like looking at them like
Speaker 3: who is that person? Like excree me up?
Speaker 4: Or it could just be that they have like a
Speaker 4: pocket full of bacon or something.
Speaker 3: Who knows, Yeah, who knows. So the it's then asked
Speaker 3: if they could use the bathroom. This is when the
Speaker 3: wife finally saw the children's black eyes, and they were
Speaker 3: as black as a starless universe. She directed directed them
Speaker 3: to the bathroom and returned to her husband, who was
Speaker 3: covering his face with his hand, asking him did you
Speaker 3: see their eyes? The husband then removed his hand from
Speaker 3: his face, revealing a handful of blood from a nosebleed.
Speaker 3: Just when you thought this shit couldn't get any worse,
Speaker 3: the power then goes out like, oh, my gosh, I
Speaker 3: would just be like panicking. I would just be panicking,
Speaker 3: Like I just think I would just run. I would
Speaker 3: I think I would just leave them in my goddamn house.
Speaker 4: Take the house, take it all, Give me my cat. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm out in my hot chocolate.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you gotta take your chocolate. It's like the
Speaker 3: turtle's version or after a vision of something delicious. So
Speaker 3: the wife headed to the bathroom and was confronted by
Speaker 3: the voice of the kids at the end of the hall,
Speaker 3: uttering our parents are here, which they then exited the house.
Speaker 3: Oh where am I here? Okay, they left the house
Speaker 3: or I wrote that sentence wrong, like, thank goodness. So
Speaker 3: they left the house. When the wife followed them to
Speaker 3: the door and watched them leave, there were two men
Speaker 3: at the end of the driveway, and so have you
Speaker 3: heard of that too? These men? Because I was like,
Speaker 3: that seems really true. Yeah, she said that. Okay, I
Speaker 3: didn't see the other We dressed in black suits, but
Speaker 3: they were very tall and slender. She waved to them,
Speaker 3: but she did not receive the same kindness back. The
Speaker 3: four of them then drove away together in one vehicle.
Speaker 3: Throughout the next week after their encounter with the children,
Speaker 3: weird things happened in their house. Three of their four
Speaker 3: cats went missing, which is really fucking sad. Oh not
Speaker 3: as sad as this actually, and the fourth was found
Speaker 3: dead in a pool of its own blood, like holy heck.
Speaker 3: And they probably love cats, because to have four cats,
Speaker 3: you probably really love your The husband also continued to
Speaker 3: have nosebleeds. He finally went to the doctor and was
Speaker 3: diagnosed with a very aggressive skin cancer. So I mean,
Speaker 3: but technically that I mean, maybe those things might have
Speaker 3: happened anyway, But that's a lot of like pretty poor
Speaker 3: things happening. It's like, especially that all four of their
Speaker 3: cats were affected.
Speaker 4: You know, And what I was going to say that earlier,
Speaker 4: I had something to say that with tiance to something
Speaker 4: you're going to tell later. It was this moment here
Speaker 4: I'm really reluctant. Like a lot of the times I'm like, oh,
Speaker 4: there's this is so bogus because this points towards that,
Speaker 4: or that fits it too well, or like the elevator
Speaker 4: to Hell, all these specific steps follow it correctly. There's
Speaker 4: contingency plans in that built in. Yeah, this, if you
Speaker 4: let the kids in, the kids never do anything. They
Speaker 4: just weird shit and they leave.
Speaker 3: I know because lots of people there's some people saying
Speaker 3: like they're thinking that they're going to get killed or something,
Speaker 3: but they don't know. They're not hurting them.
Speaker 4: And if someone makes up a story, there's like humans
Speaker 4: like to tell stories, and with stories you have a climax.
Speaker 4: So people usually are leading to something. The fact that
Speaker 4: this doesn't lead to anything. The kids don't do anything,
Speaker 4: they're picked up by weird people. Sure, but it's like
Speaker 4: very anti climactic, which makes me reluctant to say that
Speaker 4: someone did make this up, not that someone did.
Speaker 3: Well, and because so many of the stories are that
Speaker 3: same way, yes, right, because like I don't know, Yeah,
Speaker 3: you think if people were making up, it would almost
Speaker 3: progress to be getting like yea worse and worse and
Speaker 3: worse or something we like.
Speaker 4: To be andyokes and big. Oh my god, these stories
Speaker 4: are too too bland. It almost seems too real, you know.
Speaker 3: Oh God. But now I'm just like so terrified, Like
Speaker 3: I'm literally a little terrified.
Speaker 4: Is there one out there right now?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I did check the door a couple
Speaker 3: of times. It's gonna lie.
Speaker 4: One one time. There might be kids standing there.
Speaker 3: I know one because we don't have curtains. Because there
Speaker 3: were actually times where people they weren't always like coming.
Speaker 3: They would be in like their backyard or something like
Speaker 3: looking in their fucking kitchen window. Yeah, like I would
Speaker 3: literally think I would just high yep, like no tricks
Speaker 3: are allowed to be played in this house after this place.
Speaker 4: Okay, there's there's two ways I'm going to handle it.
Speaker 4: Either A I'm gonna shit myself and hide, or B
Speaker 4: I'm punching a kid in the face and running. Those
Speaker 4: those are the only two alternatives.
Speaker 3: Ky, Yeah, but there hasn't been any reports of people
Speaker 3: like hurting them, so that could be bad for you.
Speaker 4: Yeah. True, So I don't know, but I'm not saying
Speaker 4: that I'm gonna go punch it. It's gonna be like
Speaker 4: a reflex like oh shit, like you know, oh oh
Speaker 4: my gosh, like a spider on you and you just
Speaker 4: like fling it off sort of thing.
Speaker 3: Okay, so we're wrapping up here. So to this day,
Speaker 3: people still claim to see the black eyed children. So
Speaker 3: they see them when driving late at night down empty roads,
Speaker 3: which just scary as shit, which is what we live
Speaker 3: on outside their windows again late at night when we.
Speaker 4: Don't have curtains installed in our tiny home yet.
Speaker 3: You need to shut the buck up, or worse yet,
Speaker 3: even lurking in the shadows of their room. There's been
Speaker 3: reports Wait, okay, we.
Speaker 4: We our bedroom isn't aloft, so they will be crawling
Speaker 4: on all fours.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's worse. So people like waking up
Speaker 3: in the middle of the night because they sent someone
Speaker 3: was watching them and in the shadows were these children.
Speaker 3: I feel like that could almost be like just a
Speaker 3: dream situation.
Speaker 4: Though, yeah, I mean that like night terrib They need
Speaker 4: to be.
Speaker 3: Invited in the house. So that's what I was like,
Speaker 3: is that legit, because like they're asking all the time
Speaker 3: if they can enter into your life. Basically they're not.
Speaker 3: I don't know if they can just appear in your freaking.
Speaker 4: See that one seems like a made up like a
Speaker 4: person told that. Yeah, I woke up and they were there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know that is I think that's like you're
Speaker 3: listening to a podcast and then you dream that night
Speaker 3: that they're in your bedroom. Yeah. So yeah, I don't
Speaker 3: know any of those things. I don't really want, So
Speaker 3: I'm just like putting this aura out there that I
Speaker 3: don't want this in my life.
Speaker 4: Black Eyed Children not welcome here, back off please.
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's the story of the black Eyed legend
Speaker 3: of the Black Eyed Children.
Speaker 4: That is a infamous one and one that huh literally
Speaker 4: sends chills on my spine every time.
Speaker 3: It's pretty epic though it is. It's scary as fun
Speaker 3: and the photo that I'm gonna be posting on Instagram
Speaker 3: is pretty scary.
Speaker 4: See it. I want to see it.
Speaker 3: I might give you a little sneak.
Speaker 4: Okay, I want to see it.
Speaker 3: Sweet, well awesome. So that means after this there's still
Speaker 3: two more episodes.
Speaker 4: Two more episodes. I've got one coming up and you've
Speaker 4: got one coming up, which have one more and they're
Speaker 4: both doozies.
Speaker 3: They're really good.
Speaker 4: One we have, we're done the urban legends. Now. One
Speaker 4: is kind of an urban legend all on its own,
Speaker 4: I guess, because it's just so grandiose that people know
Speaker 4: all about it, and but it's completely true. And the
Speaker 4: second may have inspired another urban legend, but it's definitely
Speaker 4: not that at all. But regardless, they're true stories. I
Speaker 4: know they're crazy.
Speaker 3: Those are hints, but they're really not giving anything. Yep,
Speaker 3: so we're no help to you.
