A heavy blizzard swept through Vermont, making roads dangerous and visibility even worse. Night came, and a woman, along with her husband, heard a knock on their door. Thinking a motorist had had an accident, the woman went to answer the door. She peered out the window, and saw footprints, but no vehicles on the road. The banging continued, but the woman was unnerved.
She woke her husband, and he answered the door. There, stood two children, a boy and a girl, around age 8. The children were not dressed for the cold, no coats or boots, and despite her reluctance, the woman invited them in.
She ushered the children to the living room. Her cats slunk away from the children, one even hissed as they passed. She paid them no mind, asking the children what brought them out into the storm.
“Our parents will be here soon.” was their reply. That was the answer to every question she asked them.
She offered to make them hot chocolate. When she returned, she couldn’t help but notice that their eyes were as black as night. She couldn’t help but stare, knowing something wasn’t right. Suddenly, the children stood and asked if they could use the bathroom. She tried to remain calm, and led them to the bathroom. A moment later, her husband’s nose began to bleed, and their power went out.
She went to get her husband a tissue, and noticed both the children standing at the end of the hall, motionless, staring at her. “Our parents are here,” they said, suddenly breaking their silence, then went to the front door and made their way back out into the night. The woman went to close the door, and that’s when she saw the children getting into a black car, while two tall men, both dressed in dark suits, stood next to it. They got into the car and drove away.
In the months to come, the woman’s husband was diagnosed with an aggressive form of skin cancer. She too, began to suffer regular nosebleeds, and was, in her words, in the “worst condition of [her] life.”
This is just one of many stories of what can happen when you allow the Black Eyed Children into your home. But what are the Black Eyed Children?
Black Eyed Children are ghoul-like creatures with pale skin and light-colored hair. They are most often in modern clothing, though some witnesses have reported them wearing old-fashioned or “Mennonite” clothing. Often, they will have long bangs, or wear sunglasses to conceal their eyes. Their eyes, are what makes them the things of nightmares – solid black, without any distinction between pupil, iris, and whites. Some have claimed their eyes look like ragged holes, while others describe them as shiny black bulbs.
They usually travel in pairs ranging in age from 6 to 16 years old. Their goal: to gain access to homes and vehicles. Usually appearing at night, they knock on doors or windows begging to be let inside.
The children radiate negativity, terror, panic, dread, yet they are usually polite, always using words like “please, sir, ma’am,” and most often leave without a fuss when they are denied entry. It is truly difficult to determine what their intentions are, whether they are truly sinister, or innocent. Though, if you believe the few accounts of witnesses who have come forward after letting them in, it would appear that they have some sort of special ability.
The children stare at each other, as though they are able to communicate silently. They also seemingly have the ability to coerce or hypnotize their victims, compelling them to open the door and let them inside. Some believe these children possess a type of radioactive field, causing power outages, or even lights to flicker. As in the story above, the victim was diagnosed with an aggressive form of skin cancer – one consistent with exposure to radiation.
Although the Black Eyed Children are mostly active at night, they can be seen during the day. Beware the Black Eyed Children, and in this instance, it is okay to say “no.”
Now, have you heard the story of the Red Piano?
