It is one of the most famous urban legends on the internet. There would be numerous posts on Reddit about these black-eyed children. They are mostly kids within the age range of 6 and 16. Not like normal children, whose skins would be so white. The activities they do and the languages they speak would be totally different. And their eyes would be fully black. These are some things told about their appearance in stories. 

We can now investigate their origins and how they came to be this way. There is no specific origin story for this. There are many stories told regarding it, but nobody knows the proper origin of this story. According to conspiracy theories, they could be aliens who came to Earth to capture and take over the planet. Some demonologists say that they might be some kind of demon. In many stories, we can find patterns.

They will come in pairs and they will come out only during the night time. They are mostly found in places where there are fewer humans. They even try to get into the house or car. During that, we should not let them in. If we do so, we will face many consequences in the near future. This urban legend started during the 1990's, according to the internet. This is the time period in which it got on the internet, but it started during the 1950’s itself. In 1996, a journalist reported an incident regarding the black-eyed children that happened to him.

After that, only the legend started getting famous. In the post, Brian wrote that he met the black-eyed children when he was inside his car writing something. The two children approached Brian’s car and said that they had come over to the cinema hall but had left their money at home, so they wanted Brian to drop by their mother's house. Brian looked at their eyes, and he was scared. So he lowered the window a little bit and started talking.

After some time, the kids got irritated and started banging at the car angrily and shouting to let them in. Brian was scared and moved away from that place with his car. After moving some distance, he saw the place but found no one in the place where his car was parked. This was the post that was reported by Brian regarding the black-eyed children. In the past years, many stories regarding these black-eyed children have become famous on sites like reddit. Many people have started creating their own stories in order to get famous on the internet. 

I particularly found one story particularly interesting in the many stories that are told regarding the black-eyed children. An elderly couple lived in a rural area of the country. One day, there was heavy rain in that region. They heard a knocking sound at their door. They opened the door with hesitation, thinking that somebody might need help in the heavy rain. They saw two small children standing in front of the door. The children said that they were either parents or on their way to pick them up.

Until then, they wanted a place to stay. The couples let them in as they were the only children. The lady went to the kitchen to make hot coffee, and while she was away, the old man was alone with them. When the lady came back, she saw blood coming out of her husband's nose. Then the children asked for the way to the restroom, and the lady showed them the path with fear. After some time, the children said that their parents were here. They approached and opened the door, where two tall people wearing coats picked them up. The next morning, the couple went to the hospital to find out that the man had skin cancer. In the upcoming months, the four cats started dying mysteriously without any reason.
