Speaker 1:We have one name that I want to give a shout out to recording. Can we swear like that yet?

Speaker 3:We did it we cheated the system yeah we have one name on a shout out it is a house of bees. Who is in the chat right now? House of bees. House of bees. It's the sequel to house of wax. Where do you think they got the wax? From the bees that?

Speaker 4:suck.
Speaker 3:So House of Bees we're playing the game Incredible.

Speaker 4:What are you doing?
Speaker 3:I fucking hate you, they're they, you, these kids? Well, that's the thing. These kids don't really have parents, and it's not that they're orphans, it's that they might be a little bit more on the spiritual level. What a little bit more on the spiritual level. I think okay. And their eyes are funny let me stop you there.
Speaker 4:I am hovering over the stop button because this is dangerous.
Speaker 1:Mike, let me just branch off here, if you don't mind. Thank you, doug. We are bringing back something that used to be only for our good friends the $7 to $10 Patreon Cryptid Cryptid Corner.
Speaker 3:We're doing a Cryptid Corner today.
Speaker 1:We're talking about we're going to see if it is good or not.
Speaker 4:We're talking about. Oh shit, should I not? Okay, bex, I now understand the surprise about why I know things. Cool, got it.
Speaker 3:We're talking about the Bex, the Black Eyed Kids. What things Cool.
Speaker 1:Got it. We're talking about the Becks, the Black Eyed.
Speaker 3:Kids. You had me going there for a second. I had a segue, but you guys wouldn't let me finish it.
Speaker 4:We got real nervous, Mike. We got very nervous. This is a good one.
Speaker 2:I'm confused all around.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you don't really know too much about Black Eyed Kids, do you? And I don't mean that as in I went to a playground, punched a bunch of kids in the face and gave them black eyes.
Speaker 1:No, that's the only kind of kids we condone on this channel, the ones that we beat the shit out of.
Speaker 3:Now I think we are talking about that. No, black-eyed kids are a cryptid. Like Doug said, we're bringing them back. Don't get them confused with peas. Yeah.
Speaker 1:That's what.
Speaker 3:I've been doing for like the last five minutes is trying to figure out how to make a black eyed peas joke, and I wasn't getting anywhere. You're welcome, it's. It's hard to do and sometimes so the black eyed?
Speaker 3:kids came out, like they became more notorious in the 90s, around the time internet came out and we did have like not is satellite, internet was a thing. So you could say here we go, here we go satellite radio. Y'all get hit with the boom, boom. Uh, there's your segue from the black eyed peas. There you go. Is that what you were trying to do?
Speaker 1:yeah, anyway, yes, I'm so glad I got the joke off before him.
Speaker 3:Oh my god, so um all right all, right all right black eyed kids, what B? This is probably a question you've been asking yourself this whole time. What that is. So the black eyed kids? Um, they're these. It's hard to actually say what they are.
Speaker 1:Either they be spirit are they children with black eyes?
Speaker 3:They are quite literally children with black eyes.
Speaker 1:I know you said they're hard to like describe, but now here's the thing they're indescribable.
Speaker 4:But could you try for me children, black eyes children.
Speaker 3:So these black-eyed kids will look like normal children between the ages of 6 and 16, but they're gonna have more of like a pale complexion, uh, and, like I said before, their eyes jet black.
Speaker 4:Okay, just simply because this is how my brain operates. They are not like, it's not like they start off as normal children until five-year-olds. I know I'm so proud of him.
Speaker 2:I'm so proud of him. He organized his notes.
Speaker 4:So they aren't normal children up until five, from six to 16. That's when you become.
Speaker 3:That's when the LASIK comes, and it gives you the lasik 16.
Speaker 4:Feels too old for a scary child, but that's not what you're saying.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if I saw a 16 year old with black eyes, I'd just be like that's a choice I'd probably be like someone's in their grunge era.
Speaker 3:Are you taking?
Speaker 1:tattoos. Just someone went to hot topic. I know they got those eye tattoos.
Speaker 4:There was a.
Speaker 3:There was a guy who got his, uh, his eyes black, so additionally, on top of all this, um, people who have been in close proximity to black eyed kids, they report a feeling of unease that washes over them. Um, while there is nothing about the child's appearance besides the eyes that are genuinely frightening, uh, people still feel a range of emotions from anxiety to absolute terror and menace anytime they're in the vicinity of a black eyed kid.
Speaker 2:That's how I feel around kids in general, to be honest they also we don't, I'm just gonna keep.
Speaker 3:I'm gonna use the abbreviation becks, because that is kind of the go-to b-e-k derogatory yeah, the name of the wikipedia article is black eyed children well, the wikipedia is wrong the betches, the betches some people have also reported seeing black eyed kids that have talons or um demonic attributes like horns or uh, who's for feet? Uh, things like that, uh, but they're mostly seen as normal children. That's why I say it's hard to say what this crypt did if these are spirits, demons aliens.
Speaker 1:I always kind of assume that black eyed children were like the, the, the thing that came before, uh, whoever was going into the men in black I will get to that oh I will touch on that later on.
Speaker 3:Oh, actually, yeah, all right, so spoilers, yep um. Black eyed kids are also commonly described as wearing dated clothing or dressing in a manner that is not typical to a normal child their age. So you might see, like, what dates are on the clothing. Uh, you know, march 10th what march 10th? So that's, that's how you can identify them right yeah, mario day so, black eyed, this is gonna be a weird one if I already have matt like that somehow what tips you off?
Speaker 3:mike this is gonna be a fun one. So black eyed children always ask for something whenever they're around. It is always, uh, something that involves being close quarters to you. They'll either ask you for a ride in your vehicle or they'll ask you to welcome them into your home to use the phone, sort of like a vampire, a dracula, if you will. There are no, no reported stories. What happens if you let a black eyed kid into your home? Uh, that's a lie, because I kind of have one, um, but all the stories come from people whose eerie feelings made them flee from the children. So, people, these kids are scary, um. So another fun little fact here uh, the earliest sighting of a black eyed kid was by journalist brianel in 1996, whom I will be covering very soon here.
Speaker 2:Am I the only one who the name just makes you uncomfortable? Brian Bethel, what Black eyed kids.
Speaker 4:I will stick to Beck's then, so like the band, like the band Beck yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, isn't Beck a person Sure?
Speaker 3:I mean, yeah, these are children, it's a guy an artist, and these are kids of them yep, yep so right Bethel story has kind of Bethel story has come up kind of as more like an urban legend or something. That's why Beck's are classified under cryptids as well. They have been added to a bunch of creepypasta lures. But to this day Bethel insists that the incident was real and the way that it happened is the way that he reported it. And Bethel goes on dozens upon dozens of podcasts, and every single podcast he goes on. He tells a story the way it is. It never really changes. So the dude sticks to the facts, which I appreciate. His story never really changes. Speaking of Brian Bethel Bethel, I'm going to get in him real quick, since he's kind of the OG feller, the.
Speaker 4:OG feller.
Speaker 1:Brian Bethel is kind of how Bex started.
Speaker 3:Like he is the reason that Bex are on the map. He is the guy that got the ball running.
Speaker 4:I'm trying real hard to get past the whole Beck like thing. Just keep going. I'm trying real hard to get past the whole back thing, just keep going.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry.
Speaker 3:Na, na, na, na, na, na, na so in 1996, Brian here was on his way to his ISP, his internet service provider, who was Camelot Communications back in the day.
Speaker 4:That's a dated one because I don't even think they're around anymore. You said he was on his way to his internet service provider.
Speaker 3:Yes, he was going to pay his bill by check because remember when people did that, he was going to go literally drop a check off at this place's headquarters through the fucking mail slot to pay his internet bill.
Speaker 2:He did that with my trash Like five years ago, like take him Well, no, no, no, I had to take a check to the office to pay it.
Speaker 3:It's a very dated thing to do nowadays, but we did have to do that.
Speaker 4:Now that you say that my last house I was in with Cody and Fabian I used to have to drive to fucking Chicago to drop off the rent check.
Speaker 1:I did that in a row.
Speaker 3:I paid a check to Aldi's once for groceries. That's booty. Oh it sucked. This all takes place in Abilene, texas, tejas if you will hi, go fuck yourself.
Speaker 3:So Brian decided he was going to take a little pit stop and pull over to write out this check to camelot. So he pulled him into this uh movie theater parking lot right and he uses the theater lights to basically give him enough light to write the amount on the check. So as he's doing this, he's chilling in the parking lot when two boys, which he says were around the age of 9 to 12, came knocking on his window just a little. The boys were, as he described, suave looking and olive skinned, and one of them was a curly-headed young man, curly-haired or curly-headed, curly-headed. The one was curly-headed. He had a noodle head.
Speaker 4:He had straight hair but his head was super fucking curly.
Speaker 3:He described the one as suave, olive skinned and curly headed. The other, he said, was red headed, pale skinned and freckled, so he might have just came across a ginger. I know that was scary in the 90s, I know.
Speaker 4:But that might be where all those stereotypes come from. He also said that person.
Speaker 3:He also said that the these two boys were wearing a hoodie. They're both wearing hoodies, so the first boy explained that the two of them had come to watch the premiere of mortal combat because remember that?
Speaker 4:what year was this? 96? Yeah, that okay.
Speaker 3:So one, not annihilation no, this might have been annihnihilation. I think one came out in 94, 95.
Speaker 4:You know I'm not going to argue with Mike. Mike knows dates about movies way better than I do.
Speaker 3:If not Annihilation, it might have came out.
Speaker 2:It came out in 97. It was 97?.
Speaker 3:Okay. So yeah, number one was 96 then, because they made the next one a year later. So they explain that they're like we just want to watch Mortal Kombat, but we forgot our money at my mom's house. Can you give us a ride to my mom's house so we can get the money and get back to the theater. So while this conversation was going on, brian's like I'm fucking scared right now, dude. He says he was consumed by an irrational fear. He said the boy that tried to convince him uh, was being very reassuring and he was saying phrases like it wouldn't take long. Then we're just two kids. It's not like we have a gun or anything, which immediately makes me think you have a gun or something.
Speaker 2:You have a gun?
Speaker 3:I didn't think that, but now that you said something, now that you say that I think you have a fucking gun, yeah, 100. So bethel just uh said that he subconsciously started to reach out to open his door and suddenly, um, he broke his vision of the boys and that's when he noticed their coal black eyes. The eyes he described were such quote, the sort of eyes one sees, though. Sorry, that shouldn't have been that funny, but here we are yeah, black, black also.
Speaker 1:They fucking.
Speaker 3:We already know what they are, he said, the sort of eyes one sees these days on aliens or bargain basement vampires on late night television soulless orbs, like two great swaths of a starless night, so dead. Trying to keep his cool, bethel uh just decided he was gonna come up with some excuses. He's like uh, I can't, I, I'm sorry, I gotta go. So he basically, uh, just put the fucking car in reverse and just beat the fuck out of there.
Speaker 3:He just clapped cheeks right, the fuck out of the parking lot and, uh, as he was vamoosing, uh, he looked in the rearview mirror and he noticed that the children vanished. So, as they do, this story is what started it all. It's a shorter story, but this is what started everything. Brian here didn't even intentionally leak this story. It his. He had this story in an email thread with a couple friends that he told. His friend thought it was creepy enough to post on an internet forum and that's how this got the ball rolling. So Brian didn't even mean. People are like oh, he's just wanting to try to get famous and make a creepy story. He didn't even intend for anyone to know about this. Ever since that story, more stories have been popping up, like we have one from Lee Brickley.
Speaker 4:Lee Brickley.
Speaker 1:Ah, our old buddy Lee Brickley.
Speaker 4:Old Lee.
Speaker 3:Old General Lee, crazy old Brickley the brick himself. Oh, brickles, brickles Bricked up boy. Brickley butthole.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Bricked up on a Tuesday, here you go, buddy.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so we have. Let's shoot over over to this this guy named lee brickley. Now, this has to do with liquid. I'm sorry, where were? Where were you talking about, like location, tejas, ebony? Okay, um, this is. This is some from somewhere named kennett chase. Um, and I believe this is in england. Yes, a lot of by stafford, a lot of by.
Speaker 3:Staffordshire. A lot of Beck cases have been predominantly in England. Yeah, worcestershire.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they just be removing letters from their fucking towns.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's Wait, sorry what state. Worcestershire, staffordshire. Yeah, but yeah, a lot of them take place in England.
Speaker 4:Panic Chase if you want to get to the very exact.
Speaker 3:It's rare to find some that take place in America. There's only a handful of sightings in the Americas.
Speaker 4:There's not many, so this one does. This takes place in just across the pond, and this has to do with I don't really know how to describe this person. This person is a self-described paranormal investigator.
Speaker 3:Yes, he's with oh, never mind my guy's with a company called Spirit. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Speaker 4:He's with. Spootz, if you look up Lee Brickley, the first thing you're going to find is a link to the Amazon bookstore page that shows I don't know like 10, 15, maybe even 20 different books, all about different weird, creepy, paranormal, cryptid-like things.
Speaker 1:They kind of look like Discount Chumley.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and here's the thing too. Anyone who's familiar with Bex, you're probably like oh, they're just going to talk about the. Don't let them in uh, uh book and in video. No, I purposely avoided that, because everyone their mothers only talks about that and the stories in that one I want to find a couple. You're talking about it now well, yeah, but just to say fuck you what was the date on that first intro, the first 1996, 1996 but're so I.
Speaker 3:I picked a couple uh, a couple uh uh. Beck's stories that, um, this are a little out of the go back they're a little out of the ordinary they go.
Speaker 4:They also go further back, like uh. Stories about uh becks actually can be found to be chronicled as early as the? Uh early 1980s, the 80s up um again also in england. Um. So lee is is an author of different books all about the paranormal and he received an email all about uh. It was an eyewitness account of a new sighting of the becks, or black eyed children. Um. So apparently somebody heard a bunch of fucking screams uh in birch's valley and this woman that heard these screams walked out and saw she was with her daughter too, I think uh, yes, she was with her daughter and well at first, so she saw this.
Speaker 4:We're gonna call it back um. This is what she said. She was quoted as saying we instantly started running towards the noise. There was like a child screaming noise, almost like somebody was in danger or in trouble. And so this woman said we instantly started, we being her and her daughter instantly started running towards the noise. We couldn't find the child anywhere, so we stopped to catch our breath. That's when I turned around and saw a girl stood behind me, no more than 10 years old, with her hands over her eyes. It was as if she was waiting for a birthday cake, almost in like. Just like anticipated.
Speaker 4:Oh, man like, oh, I can't wait. I asked if she was okay and if she had been the one screaming. She put her arms down by her side and opened her eyes. That's when I saw they were completely black, no iris, no white, nothing. I jumped back, grabbed my daughter. When I looked again, the child was gone so strange. So this is one of the newer reports of one of the backs showing up and so Lee.
Speaker 4:Brickley was actually the one to kind of get the jump on of one of the backs showing up, and so lee brickley was actually the one to kind of get the jump on this. He heard this story and he decided you know what? I've been in this vein for a minute. I'd like to think that I know what I'm doing here, so I'd like to share the story. Um, so it said, uh, he goes on to report that in the summer of 1982 my aunt, or this lady that had sent him the email, says my aunt was 18 years old and she and her friends would often meet on canic chase in the evening time, probably in much the same way many teenagers still do today. So again, this is more recent. So this is more recent than the one that mike just shared.
Speaker 4:But the person involved has this grandmother who would regularly go hang out in this area of canic chase. Um, and she says, one evening, just before dark, she, her grandmother, heard a little girl frantically shouting for help, rushing to locate the sound. She stumbled upon a dirt track and caught sight of the girl, about six years old, running the opposite direction. When my aunt caught up sorry aunt my grandmother, uh, when my aunt caught up. The girl turned around and looked, uh, looked her in the eyes and then ran off into the dark woodland. Her eyes had been completely black, with no trace of white.
Speaker 4:There was a police search, but to no avail. At the time no one had any reason, any reason to believe anything paranormal was going on. The girl certainly appeared to be flesh and blood. After this happened, more and more of these reports started popping up, like just around the fucking world, but a lot of them showed up in england yep, a lot of people think, um, this story is what made a lot of people think like, oh, these black eyed kids they're, uh, they might be similarity between the two stories yeah, they're like there might be ghosts, because here we have basically someone seeing what is essentially possibly the spirit of this girl from the 80s right you know?
Speaker 3:so people are like oh, black eyed kids, what if they're just spooky specters doing ghostly ghoulish things? Absolutely actually so ghoulies, ghosts, whatever.
Speaker 4:People do have a pretty interesting take on what these becks are. Um, and so lee brickley goes on to say some people believe them to be extraterrestrials, vampires or ghosts. But there is one big difference between the sightings around the world and the stories coming out of Canik Chase. Only on Canik Chase do the sightings consistently happen during the daytime, and that's actually a big thing to pay attention to is that ghosts never come out during the day. Correct, at least as far as we know and all the stories and everything that we kind of know about ghosts, nighttime is like their hunting grounds.
Speaker 3:Zach Bagans has never once shot during the day, it's always at night.
Speaker 4:Why that is. Why that is this whole article about. This closes out by saying again from Lee saying in the US, many reports suggest that black-eyed children often appear in groups, regularly knocking at the door of unknowing victims and asking quietly if they may come inside, which that reminds me so fucking hard of. Like the original Vlad the impaler myth, like the vampire myth.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, when vampires be, they have to they have to ask to come in, like the very roots of vampire lore. That's this. This reminded me of that, so fucking hard. Um, but that's the entirety of the story by lee brickley. Yeah, and I say it's.
Speaker 3:It's, it's strange, especially separated by an entire fucking ocean and on top of uh lee's too, where he's mentioning like oh, this might be a little bit of a spiritual thing. There are the. The becks share similar um tributes and, I guess, just traits in general to other myths around the world, like in China. They share with hungry ghosts and what's it called? They're called like hunger ghosts and I think it's like lonely ghosts or something like that, where they share similar attributes where they feed on.
Speaker 4:You guys stopped doing cryptid corners, so I don't know anything about any of this shit.
Speaker 3:They share similar attributes where we'll geted corner, so I don't know anything about any of this shit. They share similar attributes where um, we'll get into it in a minute here as well but becks are rumored to feed on your soul, essentially, and drain you of your energy. These hunger ghosts do the same thing.
Speaker 4:There's similar oh my god, it's. Yeah, there's something like that in japanese vampire energy
Speaker 1:vampire colin robinson. Yes, oh fuck, have you seen the movie shutter yes, yes, oh, my god, the fucking girl yeah, she's like trapped, like her parasite like spirit is trapped to the dude and like and he's like always just like his back hurts and then like when they like figure out why it's like she's sitting on his shoulders and shit.
Speaker 4:That's what it's really, I haven't seen good movie, really good movie. It's a really good ending to it. There's legends all over.
Speaker 3:I forgot what the Indian one is, but there's an Indian folklore spirit that is a similar way. There's another.
Speaker 4:There's another story that.
Speaker 3:I thought was worth introducing into the mix. It's only because this story isn't told that often in the earlier days. It's a bit of a more recent introduction and it's relatively well-known in the community of Bex, but it does fly under the radar of the books that have been written.
Speaker 1:So, Doug, take it away with Mackie Alberts, yeah, so just to start off, as opposed to like an article or a recounting from like a newspaper or a forum or whatever you have it. Uh, we have an account from a girl named mackie albertson. She's a a youtube personality. Uh, she does paranormal stuff, um, and she's garnered a bit of attention on this video, specifically for the black eyed children. Well, her account of it. So, basically, what happens? This happened when she was 12. I don't know how old she is now, so I'm going to guess that this happened at least in the past 10 to 15 years.
Speaker 3:She does look like. She's like mid to late 20s probably. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm not really sure, but she says that her story basically happened at a place uh called big bear.
Speaker 1:Uh, mountain big bear, um, and that's in california so this is our our first, you know us side story recounting of this. But, um, you can skip most of her video. To be honestly fair, like the first half of it, she's just talking about this fucking cabin in a garage and it really leads to. It has nothing to do with anything, so, uh, but that being said, um, her story goes as such. Uh, so everyone went out to dinner while they were at this cabin and this cabin is, you know, they're going and they're staying here during the winter. They're going snowboarding, skiing and shit. Um, so it's pretty, pretty desolate, uh, as far as that goes. But, uh, I guess her family went to dinner and they were like, yes, little 12 year old girl, you can stay at the cabin by yourself in the dead of winter and you don't have to go with us to eat food.
Speaker 2:Sounds reasonable.
Speaker 1:Like why would we have you eat food? You're a child. What year was this?
Speaker 3:I have no idea, honestly, if it takes place in the 90s, 90s or earlier.
Speaker 1:You're not wrong. She probably had like a frozen pizza or something. But, either way. She didn't want to go to dinner, so she stays home by herself one night and she says that it's about 8 pm, so it's pretty fucking dark. It's wintertime. It gets dark fairly early. It's dark at like 3 o'clock. I hate it.
Speaker 4:Soon, not now 3 o'clock. What time is it? Right now 7.30?
Speaker 1:1400. So yeah, she says she's sitting around, she's just watching TV and she heard some talking. But it didn't click that the talking wasn't coming from the TV, Because when you're watching TV there's talking and it's coming from the.
Speaker 4:TV.
Speaker 1:And you probably wouldn't notice if someone was talking outside. That's why they're called the talkies. That is why they're called the talkies.
Speaker 4:they're called the talkies. That is why they're called the talkies and not the, and not the silent ease.
Speaker 3:Yes, not, yes. Silent moving picture come on down the nickelodeon watch a silenty.
Speaker 4:Nobody came here for good jokes that's fair.
Speaker 1:That's fair. Um. So she's like what the what the fuck? That is? Uh, sounds like kids are talking outside. So she's like starting to realize that what she's hearing isn't coming from the tv. So she like stops the tv and she's like, oh, this is fun. Like there's kids outside like what the hell? And so she's like you know what? I kind of want to join these kids. That's what other kids do they go and join other kids when you hear kids talking right yeah, totally normal human talking right now yeah.
Speaker 1:So she goes wait a minute, the fuck, it's late and it's snowing herder. So like, essentially, she realizes that why the fuck are kids outside? It's fucking late, it's snowing and they're on a fucking mountain. Um, so she's like whatever. Back to watching tv as a kid do, I guess. And then all of a sudden, the voices that she was hearing before start to get louder and closer and she's like oh shit, I really want to go outside. Gotta, hang out with these kids.
Speaker 2:So she turns the TV off.
Speaker 1:I love kids Charlie. I love kids. I love kids Charlie.
Speaker 2:We have to bleep all that out.
Speaker 1:So she turns the TV off and she just starts to listen to these kids, right, and then all of a sudden, as is tradition, she starts to freak out, she starts to have a panic attack. All of a sudden, panic. She didn't know at the time that it was called a panic attack, but that was what she was having. Okay, panic attack, but that was what she was having, okay. So, uh, she tries to call her parents but she's like ah, fuck, there's no service in the woods because it's the woods on a mountain. There's no, yeah, you're not getting them. Five jeezies out there. So, no parents, it's dark kids outside. Right, she's having a panic attack. Just for everybody who's just now listening.
Speaker 3:Thank you for building the ambiance for me.
Speaker 4:I can see a clear picture.
Speaker 1:So she's sitting there, right.
Speaker 4:Is it Indian style?
Speaker 3:We don't call it that anymore. Man, it's crisscross applesauce.
Speaker 2:Oh my god.
Speaker 3:And then all of a sudden knock on the door.
Speaker 1:You got me a second there. Second, I had a feeling you were looking away so I was like let's go um, all right. So she hears a knock at the door, so she's like oh, oh, piss, and she prints.
Speaker 3:She pretends that she's not there, um does she do what I used to do when someone knocks on the door, you hide in, like the kitchen, behind the counter.
Speaker 1:So you know they can't find you. Yeah, if you can't see me.
Speaker 1:I'm not home I don't know what she did. She was actually very undescriptive in almost the entirety of this whole thing, so that either a leads me to believe that it is a real account of what she did or she's just really bad at telling stories. However, another knock at the door right fucking looks through this window. So she says that this is the actual descriptive part that she has. She says at her front door, to the left of it there's a window and if you look out the window you can see things right.
Speaker 1:So she looks out the window and she sees these kids standing out front and she's like oh fuck, like she can hear the kids now being like it's fucking cold, please let me in, except it's not across the pond this time. They're like hey bro, can you let me in?
Speaker 1:we're in california, um so reganomic dude she's like, oh shit, maybe they lost their parents that's why they're like outside, like dying to get in and it's fucking cold, and she's like I'm gonna let them die, um. So she's trying to figure out, like like dying to get in and it's fucking cold and she's like I'm gonna let them die. So she's trying to figure out like what's wrong with these little shitheads. And then she goes and I noticed their eyes were black. I could see through the window that lets me see out into the world that there are children in front of my door and they have black eyes.
Speaker 1:And then she runs away and locks herself in a closet and waits for her parents to come home.
Speaker 3:That's what I would do.
Speaker 1:Actually, I would do that exact same thing, and then her parents are like no, no, no, no, no, fuck you, you're lying, let's go skiing or something later. And then that's what they did To the slopes dude. Bro, hell, yeah, bro, yeah, and that's Mackie Albertson's story. She says it probably much better than I did in her YouTube channel video, but that is essentially the souped-up version of it. Wow, scared me. Half to death, half to death, half to death, half, half Half.
Speaker 4:If nobody's ever seen the Ben Bailey stand up the cash cab guy, holy fuck go watch it.
Speaker 1:He's pretty fucking funny.
Speaker 4:I seriously think that he's a bit of a douche, but he's so fucking funny. His stand up anyway.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, it's very good, okay, okay, you guys want to? Hear about some, some fan-made shit not until I talk about john northwood.
Speaker 3:I don't cool, then that's gonna wait well, all right, so I'm gonna talk about very good. I'm gonna talk about an incident, about a man named john northwood. John is actually a confidant of Brian Bethel's. There's a chain of messages between John and a couple other people, and Brian was in this message chain and John decides to start talking about an experience he had. I'm going to basically just skip over. It's like a text thread, essentially. I'm going to skip over the parts that are not john, because they literally add nothing to it. Um, so I'm just going to read off john's parts of the text chain, but I have the entire text chain in front of me. So here it goes. I'm going to give john a voice. What voice should I give john?
Speaker 3:um albanian I don't know how to do that. So do any of y'all really believe in ghosts? Number one, ghost, number one, ghost, number one ghost For that matter, kids with funny eyes Is that Kazakhstan? Kazakhstan? I'm not going to do that. I can't do that forever. My wife, my wife kazakhstan? Uh, I'm not gonna do that I can't do that forever. Um so my life, my life. Do any of y'all really believe in ghosts or, for that matter, kids with funny eyes?
Speaker 4:oh, that was thought that was coming from your fucking walls, bro, no joke. Oh my god, the way that echoed was so good.
Speaker 3:Who's here? Who is it?
Speaker 4:Holy shit man. Oh my god, I almost shat directly in my chair.
Speaker 1:I was like doing something and I can't even remember what I was trying to do.
Speaker 4:Now I have no idea what I was doing that was so good.
Speaker 1:How did it sound like it was over?
Speaker 4:I know it did sound like it came from the back. Did you see the hair in my eyes, Me?
Speaker 1:and.
Speaker 3:Jason, both were like what the fuck? It's the backs.
Speaker 4:Holy shit, oh my god, amazing.
Speaker 3:That did. I saw him do it, but I was still kind of taken aback because it did sound like it came from behind us.
Speaker 1:It sounded like somebody was knocking on the concrete. That was wild. I have to pee, I'm going man, I'm sorry, my bladder is alerting. Was that a sound effect? It was a Discord one. Do it again. Do it again.
Speaker 3:That's a good one. It really echoes pretty good.
Speaker 1:Especially in these headphones.
Speaker 3:What's the brand Sponsored? Anyway, while Jason's gone, I will just go over John's text chain. Anyway, I'll start from the beginning. So, uh, we can get all the shit out of our pants from the door. So do any of y'all really believe in ghosts or, for that matter, kids with funny eyes? Never again in downtown portland at night. Ugh, never again in downtown Portland at night. A week ago in downtown Portland. This is when the story unfurls. I was in downtown Portland, oregon, after a seminar series on software development. I'd grabbed a bite of dinner around 10pm and when I left it was around 11ish. I'd gotten in my car, locked and belted up and just started the engine when someone tapped on the window. Do the thing, do the thing.
Speaker 2:Do the thing, hold on I don't have it up.
Speaker 3:Ah shit, when someone tapped on the window.
Speaker 2:I'll add it in post.
Speaker 3:Insert noise. I was in an above-ground garage on the third floor so I wasn't too freaked out. There was good lighting and still some people around. It was one of the guys from the conference, so I rolled down my window and asked him what was up. He wanted to ride around the block a few times as he was freaked out about who was standing outside his car. I figured that it was some of Portland's homeless or some punk kids. So, being good Samaritan, I let him in and we took off.
Speaker 3:We drove by his car and there were three kids around it, two boys and a girl. The girl was weird, just freaky. You know clothes and hair and makeup, goth-o-matic. He uses the term Goth-o-matic, he uses the term goth-o-matic. The two kids were, I don't know, just scary as shit. The age of the girl was probably around 14 or 15. The oldest boy was probably around 14, and the youngest between 10 and 12. She looked bored and was smoking a cigarette. The two boys were just leaning against the car. They looked way, way too intense for kids. Anyway, I started itching behind my eyes like I needed to really look at them. So, like an ass, I slowed down. This was a big mistake. The two boys sauntered over and the girl stayed against the car. The eldest was on Doug's side.
Speaker 4:Doug, doug.
Speaker 1:I don't remember this.
Speaker 3:I was way too drunk.
Speaker 1:Way too many mess that day.
Speaker 3:Well, you were in Portland, so oh yeah.
Speaker 1:They got weird. Nope, nope, nope.
Speaker 3:So the eldest was on Doug's side the guy from the seminar and the youngest was on mine. I made sure the doors were locked God, I love electronic locks and asked why they were standing around his car. The young one said it's scary out there all alone. We just wanted a ride home. The eldest one said it's scary out there all alone and we just wanted a ride home. The eldest one said you promised you'd help us out and doug said I don't even know you. Yeah, that's a pretty solid uh, it's a pretty solid, uh, uh. Response. By this time I was really on edge. I felt caught between throwing up and jazzing.
Speaker 2:Adrenaline does that to me.
Speaker 3:I was about ready to throw up and go skibibopop.
Speaker 1:You know the song.
Speaker 3:Skibibopop. All of a sudden, doug said he was getting out of the car and I told him not to. As soon as he reached for the handle, the two kids I don't know how to say this right, they looked a lot older, their faces were somewhat drawn and their eyes were solid black. Edge to edge, no pupil, no iris, nothing, just a liquid black pool. I just about wet myself, slapped the car in reverse and burned rubber backing. About 60 feet away, they started running after the car and so I spun around one of the support struts and we took off.
Speaker 3:I kid you not, I was convinced that if they got hold of the car I was going to die, and not in anything approaching a pleasant fashion. Not in anything approaching a pleasant fashion. Anyway, the oldest one was now sitting at the bottom of the garage. When we came out and almost made it to my side door, we'd gone down from the third floor doing 30-ish maybe 35 around the ramp. He'd beaten us down the stairs and onto the sidewalk. We left him on the corner and when I turned to look, nothing, he was gone. Doug, just about passed out. I did oh. Now I remember oh.
Speaker 3:The passing out kids. All of a sudden, the feeling of menace just left. We went back about 10 minutes later. Nobody was around his car. He got out, got in his car and drove home. He said that he met a young boy, a young one earlier in that evening and had said he'd take him home, had even given him a short ride in his car to the seminar and told him to wait. Apparently, though, the older brother scared him, so he felt that all bets were off. I was behind him about 45 feet when the feeling of menace hit again. At that moment, doug misjudged. Going across an intersection on a yellow light, his car was hit by a truck. He was killed instantly. I'm a ghost.
Speaker 4:Doug doesn't know what electricity is.
Speaker 3:I gave a police report and the whole time felt really freaked out and very exposed. And then he goes on to say I got back in my car, got in, locked the door and waited. I saw the kids again from about two blocks away. I'm not making it up, I'm not thinking they were vampires or anything like that, but they weren't as uh, but they weren't as pale, they weren't as skinny and they felt a damn sight more menacing.
Speaker 3:I left quickly and now. My only concern, though, is that this upcoming Wednesday, I'm going back to that area for another seminar, and I won't be leaving until nine 30. And I won't be leaving until 9.30. Freaked out people, I'm freaked out, hmm, and that is John Northwood's story of the encounter of dramatic. The Becks. It is dramatic, it's creepy, and we have a second player, doug, dead. Doug Player two, player two who died Um big dad over here, so is he allowed to?
Speaker 4:does he have to leave now? Yeah, can you leave. You have to actually act like you're dead. Make it real, go through the door.
Speaker 3:Yeah, just like that yeah.
Speaker 4:No, he's good. He's good Like a corpse.
Speaker 3:He's corpsing it up. I have a couple more stories that I'll go over later on, but I did have some extra stuff that I wanted.
Speaker 4:You wanted somebody else to talk about for a bit that I wanted someone else to talk about for a bit.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'll talk about my other story in a minute.
Speaker 2:Can we just insert like 20 minutes of footage of Doug pretending to be dead, like my dad's tapes?
Speaker 4:My dad's tapes your dad's tapes.
Speaker 3:Just cut hard, not even like a good transition, just a hard cut to that.
Speaker 4:Audio and everything. Just perfect that audio and everything Perfect, is he okay? So you have more hard-based stories.
Speaker 3:Right, I have a couple more stories. Yes, We'll go over them afterwards.
Speaker 4:I would like to take this time to go over some of the inspirations through culture and art. The black eyed children, the backs black eyed kids, whatever we decide to call them. They did end up making a very decent impact on just the world in general via the Internet, and there have been I don't know, there have been countless like films made about this. I personally found like six or seven different titles. I will say about five of those are not. They don't make sense. None of them do. Yeah, there's, there's, it's. It's very basic, it's very primitive, it's very. I'm just starting out and I don't know what to do.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Hollywood tried dipping their toes and making a Bex movie in about 2013, but the production fell apart. Did you find the porno?
Speaker 4:Do we have to talk?
Speaker 3:about that. Blacked Eye Kids. There's the porn series called Blacked.
Speaker 2:Eye. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, it wasn't the first part of that, that was the issue.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it wasn't.
Speaker 4:I am putting those there to mark myself for editing. Just give it like 10 more there we go All right now, there's no mistake where this is Porn Porn. Yeah, yeah, yee, there we go Now there's no mistake where this is Porn Porn.
Speaker 3:It's porn, it's just porn.
Speaker 2:No, it's kids. You don't want to do that.
Speaker 1:What the fuck was that I'm losing my goddamn mind tonight.
Speaker 4:You gotta change the battery. I'm losing my goddamn mind. You gotta change the battery. So there have been several different Adaptations of the black eyed. Children. Becks, black eyed kids, whatever you want to call them For the silver screen, I would say a solid 10 to 12, maybe 15 made. I would say two of them are actually even worth talking about and I would say one actually holds the reference for being mainstream, holding the lore correct, and that is the film called Sunshine Girl and the Hunt for Black-Eyed Kids.
Speaker 3:Kids, this is one of the more popular ones what wow?
Speaker 2:what'd you say? This is one of the more popular ones.
Speaker 4:Okay, this is, yes, this is like the if you were to look at movies to be a documentary about a real life happening. This is that compared to the rest, dramatic, I don't know dramatic interpretations, I guess. Um, so, sunshine girl in the hunt for black eye, for the for black eyed kids, was made in 2000 or was released in 2012, and it's an adventure horror thriller, uh, written and directed by someone named Nicholas J Hagen, and apparently it's the first film in an installment called the Haunting of Sunshine Girl. Apparently, there's like a bunch of different seasons of this and every season has to do with some different paranormal. It's like an anthology type of thing.
Speaker 4:Yeah, and so there's a season of this that has to do with sunshine girl, which is the main character of this series, and the hunt for black-eyed kids hunt for red october. Um, essentially, this has to do with someone that we can just call by the name of sunshine, which is the main character for this whole series. Um, this person goes on this adventure quest, I don't know, um, with uh, with her best friend nolan and somebody else named andrew, they head to portland o in search of their favorite urban legend, the Black Eyed Kids. Black Eyed Children or Becks. Here they meet several witnesses who have seen them and they interview them. They go on a little adventure and guess what, if you wouldn't fucking know it, not a single Black Eyed Children has seen.
Speaker 3:They find nothing.
Speaker 4:Nothing, nada, nothing, wow. Will she make it out? Alive is the tagline for that.
Speaker 3:Spoiler, she does end up finding some. She finds a bed, like our children.
Speaker 4:Yeah, she does and she tells her story. It's great.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to waste.
Speaker 4:Do I have to waste people's time with the other fan films that were?
Speaker 3:made, Not necessarily All the fan films, I mean.
Speaker 4:I'll give them this.
Speaker 3:There is a four-minute fan film. Yeah, they're definitely low budget, you could tell, but I mean you could tell it's made from like a passion you know what I? Mean.
Speaker 2:Is it an analog horror?
Speaker 3:Would you be surprised?
Speaker 2:No, this is okay. Analog horror yes.
Speaker 4:This actually more reminds me of the like the Jeff the killer fandom where it's, it's, it's, it's got the depth of a fucking tide pool, which means none at all.
Speaker 3:Well the big thing is because there's, there's, there's like no, no, true lore to the Beck. So whenever you're going to make a fan film, they are pretty much making it up themselves.
Speaker 4:It's like Slender man, which yeah, that's great how Slender man was done. Maybe you should make up something that actually is worth it Slender Man's way creepier than this though.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yes.
Speaker 3:No, I like the aesthetic. I think the potential is there for whatever these black-eyed children stories could be, and there's even comic books that add to the lore there are of the black eyed kids, can I?
Speaker 4:I do want to make one distinction the, the black eyed children, black eyed kids, becks, whatever you want to call them. This cryptid that we're talking about, um, it has some realism to it, based on, like, the, the, the people that actually saw these things for real. That's awesome, but I feel like the internet is trying to like make this to be a new slenderman and I don't like. I don't want that. I do not want that in the no, it kind of died down.
Speaker 3:It's no one's really making black eyed kids content anymore exactly and that's what I guess.
Speaker 4:That's kind of I bet there's like a hardcore discord fandom.
Speaker 2:there is 15 people.
Speaker 1:Well, like I said, there's what a weird cryptid to like be a fucking dying on that hill over Right. Well, there was a relatively popular.
Speaker 3:like I mentioned before, comic book yes Series. That added to the lore and a lot of people rolling off of that.
Speaker 4:Can I ask a question about that? Yeah, when did like, when did those comics like first start getting produced?
Speaker 3:I want to say when did it stop?
Speaker 4:I don't know specifics I want to say it was like early 2010s. I want it oh shit really I believe. So, yes, okay, um, but it added to the lore, where some like pop culture yes like street cred, if you will.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and essentially in the comic books, they added, where black eyed kids are created, they're the spirits of children who murdered their parents. So, like I mentioned you before, they pulled a reverse crispin wall.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're kids been wall, if you will, balls, yeah and uh balls and um.
Speaker 3:So a lot of people have been rolling off of that for the lore of uh bex. I've been using that in their own tales and stories and see, I like those tales.
Speaker 4:I will say the, the ones that are being used for historical accuracy.
Speaker 3:I'm I don't know yeah, I have two more stories that I want to mention. Um, these ones don't.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm done, by the way this is the rapid fire five minute uh section where mike's closing whole reason in five minutes.
Speaker 4:You guys should see how quickly Mike's skin is quivering right now.
Speaker 2:I like this one a lot. He's just been fucking waiting.
Speaker 3:I like this one a lot. I like this one a lot, oh, I know Please. Serenade us daddy, he's about to get what Good.
Speaker 4:Wow, I doubt it.
Speaker 1:I have choice words for this as well, but I'll save that for after these other bad stories. So these stories, it's hard to say.
Speaker 3:Take them with a grain of salt. I only say that because with these stories there's no real names attached to them. You can find Brian Bethel and John Northwood, but you can't really find the people from these stories?
Speaker 2:Why are?
Speaker 1:your eyes black. So this one is called it's.
Speaker 3:when I forgot to sit. That was more of a Peter Griffin when I forgot how to sit.
Speaker 2:Mine was my. Brian was more of an Obama.
Speaker 1:It's the Obama and Peter.
Speaker 2:Griffin hour, the black eyed kids.
Speaker 3:I'm not even going to attempt an accent.
Speaker 4:We all know how that turns out.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it goes. Scottish or Jamaican it's just Jamaican British.
Speaker 4:Anyway this one is called the Midnight Caller Jimmish.
Speaker 3:Just a bit jimmish.
Speaker 3:Sorry, go ahead, mike. It almost felt like a dream. I woke up to my dog Lucy barking. She was upright on the bed where my husband and I were sleeping, with our 22-month-old daughter staring at our door, like an unknown stranger was out there rummaging around. I thought she was just freaking out over a little house noise. We'd had her for over three months as she was still a puppy. Could have been anything roommate, a creek from the house settling the awnings, moving outside the breeze.
Speaker 3:I wasn't too concerned initially. I decided that the best bet would be to open the door and show her nothing was there. Sounds a bit silly, but it's what we do with our daughter when she gets scared, so I figured it should work with a puppy too. I opened the door and show her nothing was there. Sounds a bit silly, but it's what we do with our daughter when she gets scared, so I figured I should work with a puppy too. I opened the door. She raced to the front door. She stood there snarling at the door. It was an angry, violent growl, one I had never heard her make before. I looked groggily at her and opened the baby gate block in the doorway, planning to open the door and show her everything was okay. The second, my hand reached for the deadbolt, lucy went wild. She started barking and jumped toward me and when I touched the metal, she suddenly changed her temper. She whimpered, almost like she was afraid and backing down. As her mannerisms changed, so did mine. It wasn't calm anymore. My heart was racing and sinking at the same time. I had been flooded with a mixture of fear and dread.
Speaker 3:I looked through the peephole. I can't explain why I looked, but I did. Outside were two kids. One was just a smidgen older than mine and didn't look much, had some black eyes, didn't look much younger I'm 21, and she looked to be 16 or 17. She was slender and pale. Her hair was a light shade of honey blonde and she wore it long uh, about mid-back, with long, thin, blunt bangs in the front that covered most of her eyes. She wore jeans, a light uh, light wash that's popular now and a thin looking olive colored pullover style hoodie. She held the hand of a small girl who looked to be around three or four, in the same style jeans and a button-down ivory cardigan. The smaller one looked at the floor shyly and had the same shade of hair tied back in a ponytail, how you doing? She held a stuffed toy under her free arm and it was identical to the one my daughter has, as was their style of dress.
Speaker 3:Had it not been for the feeling of overwhelmed dread and fear, I probably would have asked these children in and given them some tea or hot chocolate to get them out of the bitter cold. Something about them seemed off At this point. I hadn't made any noise, I hadn't shushed the dog or grumbled Nothing. I hadn't turned on any lights. These kids had no indicators that I was home.
Speaker 3:The older one spoke. She had a voice that was mature, confident, strong and accentless. She held her head tilted downward and I couldn't see her eyes. She said we have to use your phone. I stood in fear. How did she know I was there? She raised her head to face me directly and that was when I saw her eyes. There was a reason. I couldn't see them through her bangs before. They were black or midnight blue or a dark, dark purple. They were otherworldly. She said our mother is worried.
Speaker 3:As someone who has always been interested in creepy stories, I knew that she was the. I knew that she was the second at the second that she looked at me through the door that she was not a normal child. I've never been one to believe in these things, as I am a staunch atheist and skeptic when it comes to the paranormal. I had written off many ghost stories from friends and family eager to tell their tale. I didn't believe it.
Speaker 3:Still, I couldn't rationalize my way out of this. I was standing with nothing but a thin wooden door between me and a black-eyed kid. There's no question what was right in front of me. I did not answer the door. Slowly and silently I backed away from the door, lucy still cowering at my ankles. She kept talking Just let us use your phone. I took another step back and with that step the tone changed. At first she seemed polite. When I took that second step back, she became commanding, almost hostile. We're not going to hurt you. If we wanted to do that, we would have broken in. I'll ask again. May we come in and use your phone? Lucy snarled at the door and I inched backwards, though something inside me seemed to be slowly pulling me back towards the door. It wasn't a physical pulling so much as a subconscious need to go and let them in. I got to my room, covered up the window, locked the door and sat there in the dim light of the nightlight. Ira called me back to the door once more and then quiet.
Speaker 3:I didn't go back to sleep that night. I haven't slept right since. I know from reading about the Becks that they can't just come in without permission. I know they haven't hurt anyone but I still fear I'll be the exception. When I told my husband he said it was just a dream. He keeps telling me to forget it. But there's a lingering feeling of sadness, this dread when the house is silent at night, this fear of a knock at the door, this tells me otherwise.
Speaker 2:Ooh, scary.
Speaker 4:Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh.
Speaker 3:I got one more that's a bit shorter. And then I have one other thing that I want to mention. Okay, You're fucking killing it right now, man. On November 19th 1992, a man was watching Evil Dead while his wife and children were sound asleep in the rooms upstairs. It was 1.30 am.
Speaker 3:Which one, probably the first one, because it's 1992. You're not wrong. It was 1.30 am and when he decided to head to bed after the movie was over, suddenly there's a loud pounding on his front door, and what stood behind the door would change his life forever.
Speaker 1:Matt could have scared the piss out of Jason right there, if he would have just did the fucking sound.
Speaker 2:Oh my god, he was looking down at the ground and shit. Oh my god, yeah, he would have literally shaved his pants.
Speaker 3:I just shat and I would have shat my pants, there stood a boy and a girl, eight and eleven, respectfully, respectfully Respectively who never looked up and were standing barefoot in the Michigan winter.
Speaker 3:Despite his anger, the man allowed the children to enter and allow them to phone their parents, but when he went to lend them the phone they were gone In the dead, dead silence. He heard the first scream coming from, uh, one of the upstairs bedrooms. When the man reached his wife's room, he was met by the devastating sight of his wife in a pool of blood and terrifying, terrifying sounds of bones snapping and flesh ripping, and saw the bare feet of the children he had just led in his home. Before he could act, the bare-feet children moved swiftly to his kid's room and locked the door. Despite the man's best efforts, he could not help his children and stood helpless behind the door. When the act was done, the door slowly creaked open and there stood the barefoot children covered in blood. They stood defiantly with awful grins and eyes completely black, like the devil himself. Yeah, I looked up anything on this and there's literally no records of any of this happening anywhere.
Speaker 4:So yeah, don't think that one actually happened.
Speaker 3:I mean it was dramatic and catchy, yeah, so those are the only two stories that I really want to add to this. I do have a couple other things I want to add.
Speaker 4:First and foremost, I want you to know that those readings you just did are going to be way more dramatic than you think they are.
Speaker 1:We'll see, won't we? We're going to have a whole soundtrack behind it and it's just going to be farts. I've hired a full orchestra.
Speaker 3:There's a knock at the door.
Speaker 4:Is that a the door?
Speaker 3:so before we mention how it's hard to say if the backs are spirits, if they're vampires, we mentioned that, yeah, yeah, before we did mention that, yeah, yeah, but uh, so there's other rumors that these could be. They could be aliens yes, ebons, not necessarily, but I mean kind of. Actually, they're said to be a human-gray hybrid and these are kind of like the off, so like the grays or the gray billies.
Speaker 4:Which we know the grays have been the gray billies, yeah.
Speaker 3:Which we do know. You and I know the grays have been experimenting with human gray. Uh, the grays do be they do be fucking, and they're they basically are creating an army is for yes oh yeah, getting our semen just for his pleasure. Sexual procreation it's to get our semen to create a race of half human, half alien, uh, basically slave workers. All they gotta do is that.
Speaker 1:That fucking g spot in your butthole and it's just they're milking you for days.
Speaker 4:That's called the prostate.
Speaker 1:That's called the cumpt.
Speaker 2:How does one avoid being abducted?
Speaker 3:Butt plugs. You really can't avoid being abducted. Gorilla glue butt plugs.
Speaker 2:They will find a way to abduct. You Say somebody wanted to do the opposite of avoiding being abducted.
Speaker 3:Go into the woods at night and be naked. Okay, yeah, and yo take me now.
Speaker 1:I've seen you have a boner? Yeah, have a boner. You have to have a boner, seriously masturbating at the tallest skyscraper you can find.
Speaker 4:Welcome to Really Tall Podcast. I know it was subtle, but here we are.
Speaker 1:This is our transition. There is a story, but here we are. There is a um.
Speaker 4:This is our transition there is a story that helps with all podcasts after dark really tall podcast start doing a really tall podcast in the smack dab middle of our show, just fucking all right, I know we're just talking about black. We need a jingle have you guys seen the fucking sears tower y'all?
Speaker 3:things are really tall how? About a fucking toronto tower we need a, like matt said, we need a jingle. Things are really tall.
Speaker 4:I still have your jingle of the last intro that when naomi was here and you made a. You don't remember that, do you, nope?
Speaker 3:cool. I have a song I have a song to write. Okay, so it's our new intro.
Speaker 3:So a lot of people say that they're interdimensional beings, kind of like the greys or things like that. They're not really spirits, which adds a little bit to their psychic abilities, because they do have the ability to basically kind of mentally manipulate you. In almost every story people are beckoned to essentially open the door for these kids, so their minds are kind of messed with, which the grays are known to be able to do. They have this kind of psychic ability to tamper with your mind and, um make you feel emotions, see things, hallucinate, um all sorts of stuff that um to either calm you down or get you in the right mindset for a good probing.
Speaker 3:Um, but good there are other stories a decent probing, decent probing, one of the more famous stories about, uh, the becks, uh base. I'm gonna tldr the shit out of it, but essentially it's this family um that. Uh, here's a knock at the door and it's a nice old couple and they uh and they um do you just want me to sit here the entire time?
Speaker 2:hand?
Speaker 1:on button I mean honestly he said knock at the door like 45 times tonight, I guess. I am expecting it at this point. So they hear that and they look outside and they open the door.
Speaker 3:There it is God damn it.
Speaker 4:I knew it was fucking coming. God damn it.
Speaker 3:So they hear that and they see these kids at the door. These kids are like wait, can you let us come in and use our phone? And so these, this old couple's like, yeah, fuck it, come on in, kid, so let them in. Couple's trying to be nice to these kids. The, the phone's over there. Go get the phone come in and uh, uh, in the meantime I'll go get you guys like hot chocolate or something, and so uh, sounds like a lot like hansel and gretel kind of the wife the wife goes uh make some hot chocolate, comes back kids basically uh disappeared.
Speaker 3:They're like what the fuck? I mean these kids?
Speaker 1:uh, they reappear, like the better to see you um, so the the couples, and then she blew their fucking house down it doesn't get that crazy, but it does start to get crazy.
Speaker 3:So the couple are like what the fuck? And then they all they just start getting like super dizzy and like they get these like nosebleeds that start happening and, um, they get very, very queasy and the kids pop back up. And the kids are basically just like you done, fucked up now, and and all this shit just starts happening, the husband says that he feels like he's about to pass out. And that's when you see this, like these headlights come up to the house. Jesus, change your batteries. I got to change those batteries. Yeah, I'm so sorry. So this car pulls up to the house and the kids go. Our parents are here and they go to walk outside and a figure gets out of the car. It's a tall figure, pale, and it's wearing a suit and it opens the door for the kids.
Speaker 2:Lets the kids in.
Speaker 3:And it drives off. A lot of people say that's a Men in Black figure and so people think that the Black Eyed Kids are pretty much just baby Men in Black, which is a little fun.
Speaker 3:Babies in Black. Babies in Black yeah, I like that, ben and Baby no, bex and Bibs. Bex and Bibs yeah, bibs. Becks and bibs yeah, bibs. We don't even have to speak all words. I was happy for him, but I like that idea. But this is really the only story of men in black being introduced to this, so it's not a whole heck of a lot, but I think that's a fun concept. Now to wrap all this up, you might think, michael, you just went on about a bunch of black-eyed kids. Is there any other cryptids that are kind of like it? Kind of? So maybe there is actually, uh, some called the white-eyed kids, which you would think is kind of like the reverse. You know, they might do things the opposite. It might be the reverse flash to the flash or something like let me out of your house.
Speaker 1:Why? Am I in your house, they just appear they're scared of you holy fuck, where am I? They're scared of me big tim robinson vibes. I don't know what just happened or came out of my mouth, but I enjoy it, though, but that is not really the case.
Speaker 3:Uh, the white-eyed kids are said to be kind of like the bosses of the black-eyed kids, and that, to me, adds to.
Speaker 2:Oh, I don't like that, come on, dude.
Speaker 3:Why do you even gotta bring him up? Cue the smoke. Alarm, steve. But that kind of adds to the greys, because what controls the greys? The whites, ah, shit, you know. Remember that when we went over evens, it's the fucking. Anunnaki's, actually the tall whites are pretty much the dominant over the small greys, and it's kind of that kind of reflection which to me— we have to do like a Tears of Aliens at some point.
Speaker 4:Right, I think we might.
Speaker 3:But that to me, adds to them being more alien-esque rather than spiritual is they have that kind of hierarchy system, much like the grays do, and they have the same type of abilities that grays do aliens aliens, be wacky, dude, now maybe fucking wacky. Here's the thing real or fake, we're gonna do it, on, on go I don't know why I wasn't expecting that you really caught.
Speaker 1:You caught us off guard. I know you did all do it on go.
Speaker 3:I don't know why I wasn't expecting that you really caught us off guard. I know you did Ready On go. You're going to say real or fake. One, two, three, go Real.
Speaker 1:Maybe, I'm kind of where Matt is. I'm on a maybe level.
Speaker 3:I think the original like the Brian From the 1982?. Yeah, that one and the Brian Bethel ones, I think are more real. The rest are just kind of people hopping on the train.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I feel like it's been exaggerated, but like maybe it's based on some realish story and it could have just been punk ass kids fucking with this guy in his car.
Speaker 4:That is exactly what I think this is. I think the concept itself is real, but still, that is exactly what I think this is. I think the concept itself is real. This is. This is, to me, the version of the Zodiac killer. That has to do with a bunch of kids that were bored versus somebody who wanted to kill some teenagers, Like they just showed up to someone who was in the middle of fucking nowhere and fucked with them and they kept doing it.
Speaker 2:I just want to pay my internet bill. No, first I was thinking like how old are colored contacts? But then I thought about, like whenever you were a kid, did you ever take those plastic Easter eggs and like stick them over your?
Speaker 4:eyes.
Speaker 2:Yes, absolutely let's just stop you from doing that with some sort of smaller black object.
Speaker 3:Like ping pong balls and they just color black or something.
Speaker 1:They're like fucking tanning goggles or whatever.
Speaker 4:Or those little rubber things that look like half a rubber ball that you put inside out and it shots up.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, ball that you put inside out and it shot up.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, something like that. Yeah, who's stopping kids from doing that? Those cost 73 cents.
Speaker 1:No, no, no. They cost like 10 tickets at the arcade. You know what? You're right, yeah, but I-.
Speaker 4:There's a conversion there.
Speaker 1:I enjoy there is a conversion there that I'm not sure Everybody will be depressed about it. 10 tickets is probably more than 73 cents.
Speaker 3:I still thoroughly enjoyed the concept of the black eyed kids. I think it's very scary, very spooky.
Speaker 4:Mike, I am so sorry, but I fucking hated this if I'm being honest, I do love it.
Speaker 2:I don't know if it's that spooky. I don't know if it's that spooky it's not, I just like the.
Speaker 3:Well, I think, like I just like the idea of it's similar to it's similar to. No, it's similar to Slender man, where you don't know anything about him.
Speaker 1:This is just Children of the Corn. That's all this is.
Speaker 4:And guess what? Spoiler alert. I fucking hate this movie.
Speaker 3:There is nothing, children of the Corn, about this.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's essentially just some like weird, fucking paranormal kids.
Speaker 4:Okay, I need you to look up. That's all it is. Children of the Corn, what's?
Speaker 3:the main.
Speaker 4:Kid cult. Yeah, but they're like what's the main Children of the Corn?
Speaker 3:ghost alien. It's like Jebediah or something.
Speaker 2:Isn't it?
Speaker 4:Whatever his name is, look, that person that.
Speaker 1:Jebediah's in the field. The character's name.
Speaker 4:Look up that person, the kid.
Speaker 1:The, the main kid from Children of the Corn. Can I stop you for a second Weird Al Yankovic new song this Friday?
Speaker 4:oh yes, he just dropped one two weeks ago.
Speaker 1:I don't know, it's a collab.
Speaker 3:I think the fact that there's a lot of mystery and there's no, no hard facts or anything about these things it's all a mystery I think that adds to it. It's very similar to Slender man to me, only I think it's a little creepier, because then you get that whole something outside your house that's not supposed to be, and now it's even to the point where coincidence, I don't know but while I was making the outline for this the other night, last night.
Speaker 3:One of me that her friend showed her a video on her phone of their ring camera where a 12-year-old girl came up to their house at like 2 in the morning and was like can you please let me in your home? I need to get in your home right now. I don't like being out here right now and then just sat there for five minutes and walked away. Can you send us this? I don't have it. I don't have it. Lori's friend does. I'll see if I can get it.
Speaker 1:But, coincidence, lori didn't even know I was researching this. But, uh, all right, all I have to say is that I I love cryptid stuff. As you know, the black-eyed children don't do it for me in the way that other cryptids do. I think it's, uh, very, very much just men in black light, which leaves a lot to be desired, because the men in black have a ton of stuff that you can cover and way more cooler stories. Uh, however, I do like the paranormal aspect to it. I like the like spooky kid thing in the forest, like the you know.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're in the mountain by yourself, whatever, like that's fine, like that's a good, just general like scary story, right um I just I don't. I just when I think of cryptid, I don't I just when I think of cryptid, I don't think of humanoid children, I guess.
Speaker 2:I think of walking pants, I think of the Loch Ness Monster, I think of, you know, blurry Bigfoot. Urban legend, not a cryptid.
Speaker 3:It is more of an urban legend, I would say, than a cryptid, but it doesn't have like the retro coolness.
Speaker 2:You can argue yes.
Speaker 1:Well, you can argue a lot there are humanoid cryptids, like you've got Paul Bunyan is technically a cryptid 100% Indrid Cold another alien type figure is a humanoid. You've got the fucking. What's the other alien?
Speaker 2:guy.
Speaker 1:Valiant.
Speaker 4:Thor.
Speaker 1:Men in Black, technically right. So I say it loosely, I guess, just for me personally like kids and like dolls and like small, small things like that, just like don't really scare me, they don't freak me out, it's just not my type of spookiness.
Speaker 4:There are more terrifying things happening.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like I can punt a small thing if I have to. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4:Doug was a kicker. In high school I was in the football team.
Speaker 1:I can punt a child, I'm sure if. I had to.
Speaker 4:If I had to. I'm not saying I will.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying, if it came to it, I'm glad the qualifier is there.
Speaker 3:What about you, Moot? Where are you at on this?
Speaker 2:Where am I at? We already went over. I don't think it's creepy and I think it's maybe real in the sense that it could have just been some kids fucking with somebody. I also don't think it's encrypted, really Nope.
Speaker 4:You all suck. I think a chimney sweep son showed up at somebody's door one day and they were like oh fuck, you're creepy. And like that was the beginning of this.
Speaker 3:I got to let me inside and collect me pants. I remember that, like the entirety of the 1800s, children were sweeping chimneys.
Speaker 2:Well, I think my favorite part of everything that you went over is that, with the guy in the car he was, you said he put it in reverse and then drove away and then looked in the rearview mirror and there were no kids there, which insinuates that he reversed.
Speaker 4:He ran them over. He ran them over. There's no one there, this man actually just murdered a child.
Speaker 1:Fucking weird.
Speaker 3:He forces do-do-do-do.
Speaker 4:There's nobody there.
Speaker 3:They're stuck under his car.
Speaker 1:Do any of you guys watch Doctor who?
Speaker 4:No, I did. I watched the first three seasons. That's about it.
Speaker 1:Okay, old or original.
Speaker 4:Original yes.
Speaker 1:Oh, so you watched the first second and third. Okay, you didn't watch nine, ten, eleven, nope, because that's the Nope, that's like the reboot, but anyway. So it reminds me of this episode where the doctor oh, the gas mask kid, yeah, yeah. That's exactly what I was thinking of. He's like mommy, let me in, but he's like wearing a gas mask.
Speaker 3:You showed me that that is creepy Right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, all right. Well, that's all I got. Thanks for coming, everyone.
