Tonight we’re answering the door to one of the internet’s creepiest urban legends: Black Eyed Kids. Picture it—late at night, a soft knock, and two children standing on your porch asking to come inside. Their clothes look slightly off, their voices are weirdly formal, and then you notice the eyes: pitch-black, no whites, no irises. That’s when the hair on the back of your neck stands up.

The modern legend traces back to Abilene, Texas, 1996, when reporter Brian Bethel described a chilling parking-lot encounter. Since then, stories have popped up in parking lots, hotel hallways, and at front doors—always the same pattern: BEKs ask to use a phone or wait for parents, they insist you invite them in, and people report an overwhelming, primal dread. Let them in? Accounts warn of lingering health problems, strange phenomena, or worse.

Explanations run the gamut: internet creepypasta given life, vampires or the undead (they do need an invitation), demons, aliens, or something that feeds on fear. Whatever they are, most agree on one rule of thumb: don’t open the door. Don’t invite them in.
