Interesting theory. There have been quite a few reports of this in the UK as well, even a sighting in one of the Starbucks branches around 8 months ago.

Jeebus... I got a mental picture of MIBs making kids, and now I can't un-see it.

Actually I can remember a couple of ATS members mentioning BECs. Gives me the chills just thinking about it. That's one mystery I'd like to get to the bottom of....

I just googled for some pictures of BECs. There are some.

Yikes, that's some freaky stuff. Are there any accounts of what happens if you "let them in" or whatever? I guess if there aren't any, that means you aren't around to give an account of what happens.

Wow.

does anyone know do they have to be invited in or could they enter through an open window?

Go to the ATS search facility up at the top right there.....type in "black eyed children"....enjoy the many, many threads on it that have been posted in the past.

CX.

They are called dark brown eyes - the natural ones - and only appear black because their hue is so dark.

The kind my blue eyed daughter wants is a contact - which makes the entire iris and white of the eye black.

The majority viewed online in photoshop.

They cost over 100 dollars, the demon contacts that is. It's a goth/emo things.

From what little I've read about BEK's on this site and a few links, I've gotten the impression these "beings" are somewhat new on the scene, reported only in the last twenty years or so, is that correct? It could be an urban legend. It could be kids hoaxing with the new special effects contact lenses now available. (The problem I have with that one is that some of the BEK's are reported to be small children who are approaching adults on their own. As a mom I find it appalling...and unlikely...that young children would be running around unsupervised and wearing potentially hazardous contact lenses).

The other possibility is that something has changed that lets such beings intersect with our own existence. Much like Shadow beings that are now so widely reported and discussed. Shadow beings are something I've witnessed for myself, along with my dad around the late 1980's, early 90's for the first time. But I never saw them before that, despite having experienced other odd things in my life. I don't know personally in my mom's old folklore-rich culture of any beings fitting the description of a shadow being. I've never heard anyone else discuss them until I joined ATS and now the encounters I'm reading about are all fairly current accounts. I'm therefore left to think they are a relatively new or recent phenomena in the paranormal/unexplained realms, too.

If I hadn't experienced Shadow beings personally, and seen my dog react to one, I'd be inclined to think it's just one of those crazy Internet memes sweeping our imaginations and our discourse. But I know what my dad and I saw. I know what startled my dog and I one night. So even though I haven't seen a BEK personally, and hope I NEVER do, I'll keep an open mind.

I'm willing to speculate that our wild weather and weird sky sounds are somehow related...perhaps all these things are interconnected as symptomatic of a solar system in a state of change or fluctuation, probably normal and cyclical, but unfamiliar to our recent and current generations.
