The Spooky Darlings

#13-Black-Eyed Kids Part 1: “Knock, Knock…”

Jeannette, Emily, Hayley Season 1 Episode 13

What would you do if two pale, hooded kids showed up at your door in the dead of night—eyes completely black, voices flat, and a chilling request to be “let inside”? In this two-part episode , the Spooky Darlings dive headfirst into the eerie phenomenon of the Black Eyed Kids. From hair-raising eyewitness accounts to the most popular (and bizarre) theories about what these unsettling visitors could be—aliens, demons, vampires, ghosts, or just urban legend—we knock on every angle.


Pull up a seat, keep your doors locked, and join us as we peel back the shadows on one of the creepiest modern legends lurking at the edge of the paranormal… and DON’T let them in.
