Im more inclined to think the black eyes mind controlling features DO work well. Maybe we are only hearing about the unsuccessful attempts, people
who were somehow resistant to the hypnotising effect, or got 'shaken' out of it before they succumbed. Maybe not everyone can feel the 'dread', or
at least not as strongly as others.
If some of the unexplained (or even 'explained') deaths/disappearances could be attributed to the BEKs, then with the amount of reported BEK
encounters, they could be much more widespread and common than we suspect.
After reading this thread, my thoughts (no real evidence) about their origin is a 4th dimensional being, drawing lifeforce from it's victims. Many
seem to think TIME is the 4th dimension, but I think SPACE (or LOCATION?) is.
EG
A 2D being can touch any point (or even multiple points) in a 1D object at any time, even though a 1D object cant.
If there is a square in a 2D world, a 3D being could touch inside the square, without touching the edges first. A 2D being could not.
If a cube exists in a 3D world, a 4D being could touch the inside of the cube without touching the edges first. A 3D being (us) can not.
Also as a 3D hand passes through a 2D plane, it may at first appear to be 5 circles (fingers could appear as separate objects), so maybe when 2 (or
maybe more) BEKs are together, they are actually one being. This would explain why one is the spokesman and the other is more passive.
