In this reprise of one of our earliest episodes, we present a whole new transcript, updated visuals, plus a few extra accounts of encounters with black-eyed children. And, no, Mikey didn't mean to draw the likeness of a famous movie director into the episode, but there we are. It would be interesting to see if you guys can tell who it is (or just skip to the outtake at the end!)
Is that Ron Howard
Wooo! More content. Lucky day 🎉
Why'd you decide to redo it?
Are your old versions of these reprise videos still up on this channel?
@@SRC267 yea
You guys got me good. I heard the knocking sound, paused the video, checked my door and realized nobody was there. I came back to realize it was the sound from the video 😅
No, no, check again. Please!
That's scary but what if a couple of Girl Scouts were there when you went to the door? Would you have still bought cookies?
I have a door right behind me 😂
@@josephvanwie6706 I mean, absolutely. Satan himself could sell me some Thin Mints.
Exactly what happened to me !!
Thought someone was knocking on my bedroom door...freaked me out a bit I must admit.
my friend loves telling her reverse black eyes kids story. this was a few years ago, pre-pandemic. she had gotten some form of surgery on her eyes. I don't remember what exactly, but they had cut a layer off her eye for some reason or another, and it caused her eyes to irregularly dilate. to the point where her pupils were basically like 90% of her eyes. she had to wear eye covers for almost a full year, but she'd have to take them off for a few hours every day.
anyways, one of the times she had her covers off, a pair of girl guides came to the door selling cookies. she answered, but didn't make direct eye contact. until she bent down to hand them money. that's when the girls saw her totally black eyes and ran away screaming.
their parents were just down the hall and my friend managed to explain that she wasn't possessed by a demon. but I ALWAYS remember this when I hear stories of black eyed children hahaha
Haha that is hilarious.
She could do so many pranks with that too
Just an explanation. The surgery is meant to prevent your friend from going blind. They take the foggy layer off from your eyes so that you can see.
Sounds like LASIK or so. I know there's a form of eye surgery to correct vision to 20/20 that involves slicing the very top layer of the eye open to get at the retina.
There was a finance manager at a car dealership who had pupils like that - I don't know why, he was probably in his early 60's.
I always wondered what happened when you let the black-eyed children in. I'm glad someone else ran that experiment so I never have to.
they put a curse on you
They steal your money and ransack your fridge. Scary stuff.
I wouldn't let them in on purpose, but if they did the mind control thing and came in anyway I have another line of defense. My Nintendo Switch will distract them.
@@galethsaldor8293 My fridge is always empty. Trick's on them!
They better like beer and condiments. Mainly mustard and hot sauce.
“They say on the couch and became unresponsive “ yeah, the black eyed children were probably just stunned and thinking “Holy crap! It worked!”
Black eyed boy: I won a $20 bet.
That 1st story misses the point. The stories usually described close calls where they eventually denied the BEK access. The idea being that no one ever hears from the people who let them in. Our imaginations are left to fill in the blanks, rather than "oh, he got a nose bleed and then MiB picked them up" lol
It's why you don't mess with dark energy black magic satan shit etc.
"Now what do we do? We've never gotten this far before."
Black Eyed Children are a scary phenomenon that are to be avoided at all costs. Not to be confused with the Black Eyed Peas who are a mediocre music group from the early 2000s.
Mediocre? Aw come on!
Both equally terrifying
LOL
.. Fergie ... 😝 ...
😂😂😂
Cannock Chase needs an episode all of its own. So much weird stuff has gone on there over many years.
The things that happen on the Chase leave you feeling you are being chased. Day and night there are so many things. I live on its doorstep and the locals have many tales
@@XMissMurderSceneX I grew up around the Chase and live about 10 miles away now. I’ve heard of many paranormal happenings there.
@@XMissMurderSceneX no you don’t
@@TheAmericanDreamed no I don’t… what?
@@TheAmericanDreamed Disprove it.
Pretty sure this is the first time I’ve heard a BEK story where the family actually let them in the house. I’ve always been REALLY curious what happens. Thank you!
There's maybe 2 stories I've heard and both were older folks which makes sense.
I've listened to one, that I've been trying to find again since. I was almost at a point where I thought I'd misremembered it or somehow made it up in my mind, but it was mentioned in READY TO GLARE's video about BEKs, so at least someone else has seen the same video (or maybe read the same reddit or 4chan post). They just didn't cover it to its full extent.
As far as I remember it, the story goes like this: A drunk guy picks up a woman at a bar, goes home with her and they have sex. He wakes up the next morning to a rotting corpse next to him and the apartment is swarming with BEKs. He freaks out and tries to escape, when the kids suggest to him, that the woman was their caretaker and they reanimated her corpse to lure in a new caretaker (= him).
His only option is a 7th floor window, that he has to break to get out. He jumps, breaks an ankle and is cut up by the glass pretty badly, so he's just squirming there on the ground in a somewhat abandoned industrial area (like the apartment was one of those pseudo-fancy meat-packing district "lofts", that were marketed heavily for a while in bigger cities).
It took hours for an elderly lady to walk by and call an ambulance for him, but until then he could barely move and was aware, that the kids were watching him coldly through the windows. He had this very clear instinct, that only the sunlight was preventing them from coming after him, and was horrified by the idea, that he might not be found and they'd crawl down the red brick walls in spider-like fashion to get him, as soon as the sun started to set.
When he was found, he asked for the police to be sent to the apartment, and they went there while he was in the hospital. They found the corpse in an otherwise empty apartment, that had obviously been abandoned for a long time. They knew he couldn't have had anything to do with the woman's death due to the state she was in, but he got into trouble for necrophilia, because they checked both his and her parts after he had told them about the previous night's sex adventure... and they were able to determine that he'd had sex with that very maggot-ridden body.
It was a fascinatingly well-written story. The author kept up the suspense throughout, and from the point when the guy woke up in the apartment to him being saved from an even darker fate by the elderly lady I had to remind myself to breathe, because the tension was almost unbearable. I'm pretty sure it was a work of fiction, but it fits so well into the lore.
I guess it does always mean you're going to die when you let them in, but if you're a guest and manage to run, you might get away with severe physical and mental scars.
He left out the part how they sucked the old peoples blood!!!🩸🩸🩸
The palmyra werewolf incident would be a good topic to cover, I feel the bedtime stories team would do an amazing job covering it.
agreed, that story is pretty crazy
@@The_ZeroLine black eyed children are well known in cannock chase in England. It's real.
🐺
Dude I would hate to have been that family living there that night not just the night of having 5 dogman/werewolves on your property but then nobody takes it seriously when you have just had the scariest event of your life just happened
Great suggestion
The funny thing about the stories showing up in the mid 90's is that's when desktop computers and the internet became more widely available to the general public.
True, I suppose that goes for a lot of stuff along these lines.
Aww heck yeah, it’s almost midnight. The perfect time to be watching Bedtime Stories!
Let us commence forth, my friends!
who needs coffee when you can get scared at night lol
Hell nah you brave 😂
I'm a chicken, I can't watch these at night or I never sleep lol.
I hope for updates Kenny Veach and the flight mh370
443 right now pm. Youre aways away from my time zone
I know people say this a lot, but the drawings are just fabulous. I love the moving segments like the Cannock chase ditch water. Great video as ever.
Sometimes I'll listen to these as I'm doing things but I'll either rewatch them again to see what I've missed artwork wise or just guiltily pause the video until I'm done with said chores etc 😂
This channel is an emerald in a mountain of coal regarding supernatural coverage on the internet. Black Eyed Children have been covered extensively in many other videos and articles. Yet, Bedtime Stories captures this subject's disturbing nature and presents it in a way that grips the imagination. Just plain awesome.
Just what I needed tonight. Love hearing about the Black Eyed Children
That's oddly specific.
@@starofjustice1 they just trying to comment anything as fast as they can in order to grab likes. Mostly Arabs do it.
Created by horror comicbook writer in the mid 1990,s. They are not real
I had an experience of BEKs on a boat when I was overnight alone on the family 36’ sailboat in port.
They don’t always knock but rather follow the accepted custom of the area or home type. It’s considered extreme rudeness to knock on or enter or look in windows of a boat where someone is living on it. Instead, you should stop on their bit of dock, like a house driveway, and clearly ask “permission to come aboard?”
That’s what these kids did. Small, pale, about 10 and 6, dark eyes. I wanted to let them in, but knew I should not. Got instant bad vibes. These kids were…off.
I generally avoid eye contact and didn’t want to see what I feared. And I knew to never let anyone unfamiliar in.
So I climbed up to the deck, even though I was almost shitting myself in fear, grabbed a kayak paddle from the cockpit, brandished it, and yelled, “No! Go away!” While holding it like a bat.
Did they run off?
@@fossilking444 yes, but I had to get uncomfortably close and was really thinking “am I really about to knock some kids’ heads?” before they ran away.
Sounds terrible
Glad you're fine
One of the few comments of someone who has experienced this phenomenon I have read. BEKs seems to be one of the lesser experienced ones out there based on the response from others sharing their stories on different videos pertaining to various phenomenon. Had you ever heard of this prior to your experience? If not I bet you were pretty damn shocked the first time you heard of BEKs and realized what you came face to face with?
Hey. Can you tell us more about it?
You should do one on Cannock Case. They amount of stories. Not just of ghostly BEC but wildmen, timeslips, strange rituals....
Never head of Cannock Chase, but sounds very interesting.
Another great video!
I don’t consider myself a hardcore skeptic, but the timing of BEK on the internet is not long after the remake of Children of the Damned.
Since the original book - The Midwich Cuckoos - was released in the 50s it might well be the source of many of these stories. It was one of my favourites as a child, second only to The Chrysalids.
BEKs don't exist...i think.
@@hmsealey3243 Chrysalids was its sister book, written by the same author I believe.
@@TheLastSane1 Not sure I'd call it a sister book, it's a very different genre, but they're both by John Wyndham. Also Day of The Triffids and some really great short stories. My favourite author from being about 11 years old.
They do exist, just punch some kids in the eyes and they'll have black eyes.
The part in the end, with the BEKs looking down followed right after by "see you soon" was quite eerie! 😨😨 That was nicelly timed! 👍👏👏👏
9:03 Love the little 'coming soon' poster in the background here.
Can't wait to see what else you've got coming next.
You guys have one of the most consistently great channels I’ve seen, congratulations on all of your success and I look forward to more reprise stories!
Yeah, love this channel. Its like a "best of" of paranormal events and tales that most of us accept and assume to be true. A great channel to recommend to people. And i like to sleep to them too. Check out Mr Mythos - the king of deep dives
That ending was gold 😂
Bedtime stories needs to turn into a tv show!
Was that a question or a statement.!?;
@@ThickDickJohnson a statement
My day is always instantly improved when I see a post of a new video from you! Better than that, the rest of my life is improved by the knowledge in it. Thanks!
I can't go to sleep without listening to this channel but I then can't sleep after I listen to it lol
These stories always give me goosebumps!
Don't care what they are,or where they're from,I just don't want to encounter them!
Geez...how creepy!!!! Excellently presented..as always. Totally agree about Palmyra.
Had my headphones on at the start, splicing this with online catan - the knocking scared the CRAP out of me!
I just finished watching your last video and could hardly believe my eyes when I saw this one posted just 3 minutes earlier! Perfect timing!
Normal eyed children are scary enough
Awesome as usual, also great that it's so soon after the last upload - thank you! :D
Many thanks to Ron Howard for his special guest appearance!
Thank you to all at the BTS team, I'm always Happy to see a new upload from you!
I think I just listened to the original on spotify the other day. I'm so glad you guys are on there, it's been nice starting at the beginning and listening through while working
This is my favorite channel on CZcams I show it to everyone I know I'm so thankful for new episodes.
This is one of my all time favorites of your videos, thank you for revisiting it!
Thank you for this. This (as well as content on Ghosts and Shadow people is always (very) interesting)!
When I first found this channel back in 2018 I was introduced to the black-eyed children. That was creepy. I still look out for them, especially at night.
I always like the Black Eyed children stories
First off, I love your channel! Been watching your videos for a long time, and finally got around to subscribing finally. Second, one of the things I like best about your channel is that you usually try to provide as many different theories as possible, as well as ideas that could possibly debunk certain phenomena. Too many believers seem to just want to blindly believe, without putting much thought into mundane explanations. While I do tend to believe in certain aspects of the supernatural, having experienced odd things of my own that I can't explain, I also tend to think that 95% of the stuff is hooey. Anyhoo, love the narration, the story-telling, the artwork, the sound design. Really good stuff guys! Keep it up :)
I find it pretty interesting from a psychological and anthropological standpoint that different cultures sometimes have similar entities or fears. It shows we all fear the same things, possibly for evolutionary reasons. I think the reason that the all-black eyes are unsettling to us is the uncanny valley aspect. They otherwise appear to be a normal person, but something small about them is off and so we do not trust them. We also rely on eyes to give us more information about someone's intent, and if you cannot see the pupil, you have fewer indications of what this thing wants from you. I'm not normally interested in stuff like BEKs but the cultural and folkloric context is really interesting. I had no idea how far back the trope went. It reminds of of that old movie Village of the Damned, as IIRC those kids also had the power to make people do things against their will. Thank you!
The eyes are the gateway to the soul. ....
Sounds like a black eyed childen wrote this
this channel never disappoints.
SO VERY PLEASED with this video! Thank you!
Sat in my kitchen at 3am watching this with my headphones in, and the knocking at the start genuinely had me open my front door only to realize I was just being daft😭
Awesome story. Thank you once again.
If you watched the news lately, approaching the wrong house, much less knocking , has proven deadly. BEKs might consider a new form of haunting.
Nah the BEK's know to knock first and wait patiently so would be fine :)
You always have to be careful of black-eyed children. My sister has never bothered me since telling her about them LOL
My cousin never bothered me since I gave him a black eye when we were teens. Similar, I guess.
Absolutely love this incredible channel ❤
Some say these black eyed children grow in pods. At such an early stage of life they are known as Black Eyed Peas.
LOOOOOOL, best part of this channel today, thanks for the laugh👍
You added a knock at the end. :) I think I saw someone in the original version that it would've been creepier if you had it.
This channel is just class. Everything about it is classy. The music, the graphics, the narration and of course, the stories.
I was surprised you guys didn't keep the ending of the original. With the suggestion of thinking of them or watching a video on them is enough to elicit a visit. I thought that was cheeky.
Thank you for another great video, they are greatly appreciated!
Amazing episode! Artwork is outstanding again, and creepiness is at max level! Good job to all the team, you are the best!
Jeeze! I read the comments about the knocking before I even watched the video. I thought someone was knocking on MY door when I started watching. Well played. Love your channel!
Thanks for the video. Really interesting.
The animations on this channel are truly amazing.
Only true fans stay until the end of the credits 😅 there's nothing more creepy that evil children.
It only because we fell asleep!
*Ron Howard's disembodied voice* But it was not Ron Howard
It's true. 🤣
I misread your sentence. I thought it read "Only Fans"at the beginning...
@@thomasmiranda8165 hahahhahaha
My only complaint about these Bedtime Stories is there aren't enough of them!!! I LOVE them! I wish there was a new one every day! REally loved the one about Tulong! I watched it over and over! Keep them coming!!
The art work of this channel is absolutely astounding. 🏆👍
Great illustrations in this program. Lots of work ❤ I appreciate it
Your videos are always fascinating and superbly narrated! :)
Very well done as usual guys! Congrats!!!
Scary! Well done, gentlemen. Especially the door-knock upon conclusion......eerie..
Great story, thanks for the update.
I’ve been approached by black eyed children in my apartment complex while walking my dog late at night in central Texas and they weren’t creepy at all. They petted my dog and he rolled over and wanted belly rubs from them. They gave him belly rubs, but my dog jumped up an barked at them. My dog never barks at people and told them sorry, they said it’s okay and they went back towards the woods thinking they’re the kids who have the party in the woods on the other side of the property. I shined my flashlight at my them and they had black eyes. Mushrooms and ecstasy are a hell of a thing!
As usual beautifully presented- well done guys 🏆👍
amazing channel high quality job man we really appreciate it
Nice! The original B.E.K video was one of my favorites! Excited to see more!! ❤
I always enjoy your videos and stories. Thank you, team!!
Thank you for not making the Roswell video just yet, BEK are my faves too, so I'm glad I got here 17 minutes after you posted.
Thank you, love these
Thank you for expressing skepticism!
When are you guys gonna do a full length video? From The narrators voice to Mikey’s art work and the stories. This is the best channel on CZcams
The first few seconds of the "Is that... Ron Howard?" scared the living daylights out of me because I wasn't really sure what was going on at first, but hey, what's a Bedtime Stories video without something freaky?
I wondered where this went. Thanks for re-uploading.
Great one guys.
My evening just got even better!
I need more of these videos in my life
its 3 AM where I am now and i cant sleep and i see it..yay a bedtime stories story
Brilliant...as always. 🙏
brilliant channel
keep those good videos coming😊😊
Hey bedtime stories. My wife and I love your content. Please keep making more. Also please keep the black and white imaging art work. It fits your programming so well. Please don't ever change it. If you do you will still have fans.
Yay new Bedtime Stories!!! :D
Outstanding video many thanks
Awesome!!!! ❤ Just Awesome! 🎉Thanks guys! Great work! 👍🏻
Not going to lie, that knocking sound effect got me. I paused the video to check my front door and was confused why there was no one there.
A bunch of strange stuff happened to me after I watched your first black eyed children video, hopefully it won’t happen again lol
Love it !
Bedtime Stories posts up a reprisal of a video which covers a subject of interest to me as I'm starting work. Nice.
Oh, and it's my Friday. Doubleplusgood.
I’d love an episode on the Russian metal cauldrons. Super interesting.
My senior high school English teacher told my class a story about seeing one of those when he was a teenager.
Hey. Can you tell me more about it?
Always good stuff
i enjoyed this!!
Do one about lake monsters.i can't remember you doing one and I've been watching for years.
I used to think these were just a creepypasta but I keep hearing more and more stories about them that are incredibly similar.
These stories have existed way before the internet was even a thing.
Thank you so very much. 👍🏻
As usual, excellent artistry. The car window lowering was FAB! Storytelling was also A-one.
First heard of black eyed children from an old Sherdog thread on scary experiences. Guy ran into 2 at a movie theater
I love the revising of previous episodes I hope you do one for the boys from yuba city
One of my favourites! I'd also love a revisit of that story.
WOW! Creepy stuff bts! Thanks for this 😊👏🙏♥️♥️♥️
Good video thanks 👍🏻
