Black-Eyed Children – Texas

Even though Black-Eyed Children have been spotted all over the country, the very first report allegedly came from a small town in Texas. In 1996, a reporter pulled into a movie theater parking lot. He was approached by two children who knocked on his window. They asked him for a ride home and said that they didn't have a gun. Alarmed at the mention of the gun, he made a move to leave. That's when he saw their eyes. He said they were, “the sort of eyes one sees these days on aliens or bargain-basement vampires on late-night television.”
