…Nearly 30 years after the first reported sighting, folklore experts and paranormal researchers remain divided over whether the Black-Eyed Children are an internet legend or something more sinister.
Jason Offutt, a journalism professor at Northwest Missouri State University who has spent more than a decade researching the phenomenon, said one of the most striking aspects of the reports is how similar they remain regardless of where they originate.
‘I’ve talked to people from all across North America, talked to somebody from Portugal, England, Saudi Arabia, Australia – they’ve all had almost the exact same experience,’ Offutt told the Daily Mail.
According to Offutt, witnesses often describe two children appearing together, with one seeming slightly older and more confident than the other.
Many accounts describe pale youngsters with black eyes, outdated clothing, greasy hair, bad breath and unusually mature speech patterns.
‘They speak with confidence. They speak like they’re much older than they appear,’ Offutt said.
Witnesses who claim to have encountered the mysterious Black-Eyed Children often describe pale youngsters with completely black eyes who repeatedly ask to be let inside homes or vehicles
