Are Black Eyed Children Time Travelers? – When Art Bell opens the phone lines, you never know whatโs going to happen. Such was the case on July 24, 2015, during Midnight in the Desertโs first Open Lines show, and the long-awaited return of my personal favorite โ Open Time Lines. Now, most people listening that night assumed that one particular caller was simply acting.
Perhaps he was. But the story he shared cast the unsettling nature of the so-called Black Eyed Children in a light Iโd never considered before. Are they, the terrifying children with eyes black as shark eyes, actually time travelers?
That one unusual caller insisted they were, in fact, forcing him to travel through time:
โโฆevery time that it happens to me, I lose a little bit of who I used to be, Mr. Bell. Every time they force me to time travel, I lose a little bit of myselfโฆI need to warn your listeners. Do not answer for these children with black eyes. They are real, Mr. Bell. They are very real, and they willโฆtake you. They will not kill you, but they will make you disappear. Your soul, Mr. Bell, is gone. They will take your soul.
They force me to travel in time, back and forth, back and forthโฆin the future hundreds of years, Iโve been back hundreds of yearsโฆI miss my family, Mr. Bell. Iโve had a wife, I had childrenโฆbut Iโm lost to time. Iโve lost them all. I canโt even remember what they look likeโฆbecause when I close my eyes, all I see are these children staring at me soullessly, forcing me to do their biddingโฆโ
Curiously enough, an article at Mysterious Universe published on January 29, 2013 shares an encounter in Pennsylvania, in which the victim describes the children as eerily out of place โ or perhaps time.
โโThe first thing that struck me as odd was their attire,โ Jenkins said. โIt was โ80s clothing, only it looked brand new.โ One boy wore a new Montreal Expos baseball cap with a logo the team used between 1969 and 1991. The Expos havenโt existed since 2004. The Vision Street Wear skater hoodies they wore were popular in the 1980s. โWhat they were wearing just didnโt seem to fit with the time period,โ Jenkins said.โ โ Terror Lurks in Pennsylvania, Mysterious Universe
But the question still remains: What is their nefarious purpose? If they are time travelers, and if they do force people to travel through time, why? And if theyโre not time travelers, could they possibly exist outside of time as some form of demonic or even extraterrestrial entities?
The common legend of the Black Eyed Children involves encounters with young children who possess purely black eyes. They appear as if from a void, and ask their unsuspecting victims for help, or if they need help. Sometimes, they will ask to be invited into the victimโs home or, in the Pennsylvania case, the victimโs car.
What happens if you accept? Perhaps Art Bellโs unfortunate caller found out the hard way.
