In Episode 5 of The Cryptid Files, we dive into one of the most unsettling phenomena ever reported: encounters with the Black Eyed Children. For decades, people from around the world have come forward with terrifying stories of pale, childlike figures with completely black eyes who appear at night, asking for help or permission to enter homes and vehicles.
This episode brings you five chilling true stories of Black Eyed Children encounters. From late-night knocks on the door to eerie meetings on deserted roads, these firsthand accounts reveal why witnesses describe them as some of the most frightening experiences of their lives. Many are left shaken for years, haunted by the memory of those emotionless stares and the overwhelming sense of dread that comes with them.
Are the Black Eyed Children ghosts, demons, or something not of this world? Some believe they are connected to paranormal activity, others link them to alien abductions or sinister folklore. Whatever the truth may be, these encounters raise questions about who or what they really are and why they appear to unsuspecting victims under the cover of darkness.
If you enjoy true scary stories, horror podcasts, cryptid encounters, and paranormal mysteries, this episode will keep you listening late into the night.
Note from Leon:
This episode doesn’t include my usual outro due to some microphone issues. I didn’t want to delay releasing it, so I’ve put it out as-is. Everything will be back to normal next week. Thanks for listening and supporting The Cryptid Files!
