Recently on different paranormal sites they have been having alot of stories from people who have encountered these beings. For anybody who is not familiar here is a brief description of them...
http://mysteriousuniverse.org/2011/04/black-eyed-kids-insidious-threat-or-myth-in -the-making/

If it is just a myth, why are so many people from all over the world talking about them? What could they be? Are they ghosts, demons, or just a bunch of kids playing a prank?

I've heard about them. Urban myth imo. And considering the general state of today's youth, it's an understandable one.

^^Interesting, they do have special lenses these days for a scary effect. Could be just some jerky kids going around trying to make people jump.

I see your point, though jerky kids probably aren't confined to this time period.

My thought was this: Personally and collectively we're drawn to monsters who best display our innermost fears and weaknesses, what we fear we are, what we fear we will become. For instance, the Romantic era favored vampires. They remade the old Eastern European Nosferatu type vampires in their own image. Today we see the remains of that transformation in Lestat like creatures. Beautiful, emotional, obsessive Luciferic beings. Byronic bad boys and anti heroes, this type of monster will always be favored by teens. It's worth considering that a 19th century feminist gifted us with Frankenstein. Zombies have made a comeback recently - dead eyed creatures devoid of independent thought or will. Says a lot about the so called "sheeple" of today, yes? If the popularity of these BEKs continues to increase, what does that say about our youngest generations and adult perception of them?

I saw some of the first chats where they showed up and if it was a hoax, it was a very well done one that pulled on traditional paranormal lore and adding a creative twist. My inclination was to believe it because the fear people felt (they weren't just afraid, this was unexplained terror that made them realize this sitch was anything but normal) is common with quite a few disturbing paranormal manifestations. I saw men in black like figures once and felt something that was nightmarish that didn't make sense looking at them, and seeing the chats describing encounters with the BEKs reminded me of that.

It could, of course, reflect both society's fear of children and/or the future, and maybe that manifests in paranormal ways, or allows a well-done hoax to gain a life of its own (or maybe even a bit of both).

With the era now adays with movies like Twilight, its not to surprising that youngers would try to mimic said characters. The image of the vampire seems to morph into something different each time. Some instances it could very well be kids creeping around being silly. But I do believe there are moments that are truly paranormal that us humans cant explain.

Some of the stories I have read about them have been far fetched, but thing is a few of the stories have unusual twists to them. For instance some people who claim to have experienced BEK say there is a strange putrid smell that accompanies these beings. I can imagine some child running around being unclean, but having a rotted smell is not natural for any living being. Its a curious mystery that is intriguing. Personally I have had an encounter in the past with seeing a shadow person back when I lived in the Southwest. Dont know exactly what realm that falls into, but for me it was very real.

As far as men in black encounters, where did you experience this? If I am not being too nosey.

The fear often comes before the eyes are even seen. And that's simply not a good explanation for the phenomenon (kids pranking could, but not just wearing color contacts and being a little too into Twilight). The BEK doesn't match Twilight at all (at least not the ones I read about), or even Vampire: The Masquerade which I used to play.

The fear...it doesn't come from being startled (and would anyone be scared of color contacts?), and it's distinct even from a home invasion, it's probably something you can't understand if you've never felt it before. However Stephen King described it very well in Salem's Lot, but as I don't have a copy on me I was only able to find this line online:

"It was from the spinal cord, a much older network of nerves and ganglia, that the black dread emanated in waves."

Far northern California (that is, the state of Jefferson by the Oregon border, not to be confused with the Bay Area).

I'm not certain, but I believe it may have been inspired by my accidentally creating a tulpa (long story). Interesting enough when I saw the tulpa I hadn't realized what it was at first, but did before she got away (and then she vanished when it was impossible).

Also interesting, IMO, and possibly significant, my mentor involved in this had an experience with the MIB when he was a teen like that: he'd has a close encounter and being silly he started to telepathically project he was going to share about it unless the MIB showed up or something, and not long after a long black car as if from the 50s stopped by him and window rolled down to show a MIB (but couldn't make out any distinct features, something that bothered him even before he realized what was happening), which he thought was really strange, and then immediately as he remembered his "dare" the car pulled away...he felt no fear, just stunned disbelief, but when he ran to see the back of the car it was gone as if never been there, which is kinda similar what happened to me with my tulpa.

But anyway, I saw the tulpa in the middle of the day from an office (where a witch worked, btw, that is, her office). Not long after (possibly even that very night, at like say 1 AM) I had a terrible feeling and when I looked outside I saw 3 wraith-like Men In Black who inspired a nightmare terror in me. They seemed unable to come in and my mentor said that was in part because I was in a closed building (had it been open to the public then they probably would've been able to come in) and thus there was a psychic barrier (that may have been strengthened by the witch who worked there) that prevented the entities from entering (much like vampires who need an invite to pass such barriers). I was so terrified I wouldn't leave for the longest time (and hid, refusing to look out, even for a long while after the dread feeling had passed and I'd wound down to a more mundane "freaked") and he thought it intriguing that they showed up in the very same place as the tulpa had (and right after), but nevertheless I needed to shut down myself from the astral and so all my meditation and like was to do just that with no more astral work for a long while.

I remember I was gazing at a baby who had very dark eyes. I was expecting a smile from him just like with any baby intead I got this horrible sick doom feeling from him.

I will never judge a person like that though.

They are supposed to be a very old form of Fae. Looking for them and thinking about them may cause you to become obsessed, in fact u may already be and not know it, it may very well draw them to you.

They're actually retro. They were a big deal shortly after 2000. IIRC, the chat that made them popular was done on Usenet, possibly even before 2000.

I hadn't heard anything about them in years until shortly before this thread when some cheesy news group did a vid on them (not sure if that brought it back or if they saw it was coming back and tailored themselves to fill the demand).
