The disturbing black-eyed children

There are monsters of all kinds and sizes.Sometimes however, the monster comes in a disguise that seems innocent , but, in fact, it is so insidious as to put the hairs on end, and wake up in us a mental alarm that begins to shout: Run! Something similar happens with black-eyed children.

The disturbing black-eyed children

Black-eyed children are supposedly normal-looking children of apparently between Five and six years .Some have been described dressed in white bedding and pale skin, but the key feature that remains constant in the appearance of these creatures is one: their eyes. Their eyes always appear as two pools of black ink, no white, no iris or pupil. Creepy.

According to urban legends, these black-eyed creatures appear to the unsuspecting, to often late at night, knocking on their doors and windows, asking in a monotonous voice to let them in or laughing in a very characteristic high pitched tone.The most repeated advice to those who are absorbed in the black eyes of children is to ignore them and move away , since they could endanger their own souls if they let themselves be carried away by their «siren songs».

So, what are black-eyed children?

Is there a rational explanation for them? If not, what could be the source of these creepy little demons? The origin of the story of black-eyed children is very difficult to define.

The stories about them began to spread, slowly, in the mid to late 1990s in all Internet forums.Although it is difficult to pinpoint the exact origin of the stories of black-eyed children, a source could have been the story of Brian Bethel , an Internet blogger who claims his was the first encounter with black-eyed children.

The disturbing black-eyed children

From that single seed that Bethel released in 1998, in a ghost hunter forum, the legend of black-eyed children grew up free around the world. During At one time, the reports seemed to flood the inbox of all ghost hunters.Was this the result of an increase in sightings and encounters or simply an exaggerated reaction to everyday paranoid events?

There has never been a hint of physical evidence that suggests that these beings are physically present in any way, if there is sten, but there are no known cases of people who have wanted to participate in a dwarf to scare others using young children disguised in this way...
