one thing ive pieced together from all the stories everybody has posted so far is that it only happens to lone victims.

there never seems to be anybody around during the encounter, which suggests its either pre-meditated or requires pre-existing conditions.

everything is too opportunistic to be random victims.

locations of the other encounters could be relevant, and any similarities between victims that could have "marked" them.


that story where the kid punched one and ran away was kinda funny. the fact that they didnt leave was however not very funny...

Do you think kids high on drugs will care about things like that?

by you saying "kids high on drugs", im going to venture a guess and say that you're at least 40. look, im in my early 20's, have younger siblings, and have plenty of experience with "drugs", and what's popular with kids today. im not going to say kids arent reckless, kids are smoking plenty of weed, and this new k-20 incense business is all the rage lately, but none of these are too serious of intoxicants. oh and coke is huge in high schools nowadays. but none of these could account for the kind of observations discussed in this thread or other threads related to BEK. even hallucinogens, and again i know from experience, could not account for this. if a 12 year old kid was tripping (which is about as common as a yellow lobster), he would NOT be able to approach anyone's door or form any sort of coherent sentence, let alone a conniving plan to rob you.

i don't understand some people's perceptions of kids and drugs. things aren't all that different from when you were kids. i imagine some people in this thread sounding like the mother from the waterboy, "them kids did them drugs and let in the DEBIL!" oh please.

Well you'd be wrong, but good on you for having a guess.

LOL... wow, so you're a drugs guru? And a youth culture expert?

Please to meet you, I'm Saint Blup.... what are drugs?

. but none of these could account for the kind of observations discussed in this thread or other threads related to BEK. even hallucinogens, and again i know from experience, could not account for this. if a 12 year old kid was tripping (which is about as common as a yellow lobster), he would NOT be able to approach anyone's door or form any sort of coherent sentence, let alone a conniving plan to rob you.

Of course... no drugs would make kids, for fun, go and knock on someone's house for a dare while high.
okaaaaayyy

Thanks for your expert views.

I say you need more experience, most robberies are drug related.
We don't know these kids were actually 12.... they may well have been 16 and a 16 year old with a habit is not out of the question.

OR

A couple of kids getting high and going and knocking on someone's door for a laugh is not really out of the question.

Far more likely than something paranormal.

Yes that's me..... how did you know?

I don't need to talk about my "knowledge" or "Experience" of drugs, especially as It's against T&C.
But thanks for your views anyway.

You have your opinions, I have mine

I was thinking of a possible assault from the kids and then you mentioned the crimes in the area. The kid might've said "we don't have any weapons" because they probably did.

I'm very glad to hear you're ok and no one was hurt in this little confrontation. Never let anyone who seems suspicious into your home, even if they are just kids.

But like another member said, could've been just some silly prank.

Stay safe and try to relax, at least you got them to go away.

I've been looking into this quote more:

"We are just kids, mate, let us get our kitten"

It's like whatever they really were up too, they were using their identity as a child to gain leverage in the situation.
Reading more of this stories online, I've noticed it's always been kids. Now, my brother is 13, and he is one of those who tries to stay in trend, and nothing like this has ever come up. So I'm ruling out that all kids are doing it.

And the fact is, if it was just a prank then black contacts are a little pricey for young teens who just wanna play a practical joke.

I might guess ghosts. Kids who once lived there maybe? Died, and they had a cat maybe? Or they died in a house close to yours, and their spirits are haunting the place where their cat used to go to (your garden). Look up anything like that. It would make sense, because a lot of the time, they normally just dissapear, much like ghosts.
It would also explain the nicer manners (Almost abundant in kids now a days), the clothing (that sounded slightly out of fashion) and the fact you were afraid and weary of their presence. Maybe they were asking you they way they used to ask the person who lived there (back when they were alive). The fact they sounded like they were forcing the Aussie accent also makes me believe they weren't from around your area, so maybe look and ask around for people who came to your general area from England or America etc in the past.

I don't know, I'm skeptical of that whole theory, but it's a theory non the less Plus it gives you some research into what really happened

I would suggest that the kids had dilated pupils because of another reason.

It might account for the odd behaviour too

edit on 3-10-2010 by davespanners because: Altered to remove something that is against the T&C's

Sounds like some good shrooms

That's probably why the phenomenon is called BEK You know.... Black eyed Kids

Can the arguments cease, and get back on topic!

BEKs eyes are NOT enlarged or black pupils, the entire SCLERA is black, no whites, no pupil, just pure black, why do people keep bringing up the pupil debate when it's already been established as "Black Sclera"

if you want to case a place to rob it, i don't think you want to wear black contacts. i think that would kind of hurt your chances. im no professional thief, but that just seems like day 1 stuff.

i'm quoting myself here, and just so we're clear, ill say this in a totally non-sarcastic fasion. this is in response to the op and thread in general.

however unlikely that a 12 year-old was going to rob someones house, if a kid was indeed planning on it, he would not stick in black contacts and freak the person out, thus defeating his entire purpose of checking out a place to rob it. it just doesnt make logical sense.

and as for drugs,
and i'll be extremely specific, because apparently i have to be
weed- doubtful, most kids would be giggly, and esp when high unable to keep up a real creepy act like that. i guess it's possible, but unlikely.
shrooms/acid/hallucinogens- very doubtful, lets just say pranking would be the last thing on anyones mind, kid or not, and theres no way someone is putting in contacts while under the effects. and no kid is going to sit around and trip while wearing black contacts.
coc aine- very very doubtful, the effects of this drug completely don't match up with any of the accounts.
heroin- again, kids doing heroin and putting in contacts and going pranking, very far-fetched.
ecstasy- doesnt really add up, doubtful.
meth- don't think so.

again, these last few i don't think really need too much explanation

as for me, logically, it's either good old fashioned pranks, or there is something strange to the stories. i don't really buy too much into demonic stories or the paranormal in general, but i don't doubt the op is telling the truth of what he experienced. if i told myself 6 years ago of half the things i would believe are true now, i would probably think i was crazy, so i guess anything is possible.

What I find strange about all of these stories is that the person that is visited by the BEK's never seems to notice that their eyes are entirely black right away. It is always towards the end of the encounter which can be up to a few minutes long and in some cases even longer. How can that be? It would be the very first thing that I imagine that I would notice about someone. Even from a distance or in low light.

If I am in a situation where I feel that someone is being dishonest with me, or if I'm even slightly unsure of someones intentions you can be sure that I'm going to be looking intently at their faces to see if I can pick anything up from their expresions or eyes. And if their eyes were entirely black it would be very obvious, very quickly.
