Welcome to The Oddity Shop, Where the Bizarre is Always on Sale!  This week in the shop, Kara has brought the lore of the Black Eyed Kids

What happens when a normal night takes a turn for the unsettling with an encounter involving children sporting soulless, ink-black eyes? Kara recounts a listener's spine-chilling experience with these black-eyed kids (BEKs) and invites you to weigh in with your own eerie tales. Were not just discussing encounters; they're diving into the uncanny valley, examining whether our intrinsic fear of almost-human figures might explain our collective discomfort with the BEK phenomenon. 

We'll share stories that leave you questioning the boundaries between urban legends and unnerving reality. From accounts of energy-vampire-like children to the mystery of disappearances possibly connected to these enigmatic BEKs, the conversation spans the gamut of paranormal speculation. Could there be a thread of truth to these tales, or are they an amalgamation of collective fears brought to life through storytelling? Tune in for an episode that not only explores the mysterious allure of BEKs but also serves up a hefty dose of skepticism and banter,,

While the topic is bone-chilling, rest assured that laughter isn't far behind as our hosts manage to sneak in a Fergie-themed dad joke even as they advise keeping the door firmly shut against such deceptive visitors.
