OVERVIEW
A reported black-eyed-children encounter: youths, usually two or three, with eyes described as entirely black, who ask to be let into a car or house. The legend's earliest dated text is Brian Bethel's post of 27 August 1997 about Abilene, Texas.
HISTORY
On 14 November 1998 Bethel posted 'They're back': an IRC chat log in which a friend describes the encounter, plus his own commentary. The friend reports that his passenger later died in a crash; that claim is unverified and is not repeated here as fact.
REPORTED ACTIVITY
HEARSAY. Original text read; second-hand (a friend's chat log relayed by Bethel). The fatal-crash claim is uncorroborated. No police report, photograph or independent witness has been found for this or any black-eyed-children encounter. Collected for ODPSI white paper ODPSI-WP-LR-2026-002 (research notes, 14 Nov 2026).
