There's no source listed for the account, so I'm not sure where it originally appeared. So there's no way to follow up on further interviews, details, visit the site etc...but this one was to strange to pass up. Take it as you will, but it's certainly one for the book of weirdness:
"It all began on a beautiful summer day at the beginning of autumn, 1998. I live in a small town called Grantham in Lincolnshire, U.K. I was out with a couple of friends and it was coming up to the end of summer holidays. I was at my friend's house when I decided to nip home to get a drink. My two friends walked down with me as it was only around the corner--a five-minute walk to my house. I went in and they waited outside for me...or so I thought! While I was inside, I had a real thirst on and drank about three pints of water before going back out to my friends. When I went back out, there was no sign of my friends. I looked up and down the street for them. Down the street, about four houses down from mine, there were a couple of large conifer trees about 18 feet high and overhanging the fence at the front. As I looked down, I saw two pair of legs, as if two people were backed up in the tree, hiding. I automatically thought it was my friends messing around, so I stated walking down, shouting that I could see them and to stop messing around. As I shouted to them, they sort of jumped up over the fence where the conifers were (a feat on its own, really), came out on the other side of the conifers and weirdly jumped over the next fence into the next door garden. (I say weirdly as the way they jumped; it was more like a dive than climbing.) When they entered the next garden, they went to a gate at the side of the property, which was about eight feet high, and proceeded to dive jump that too!
I didn't understand how they had done that, but I still wasn't fazed by it and shouted again for them to stop messing around. Then I had an idea: I'd go down quickly and catch them when they come out of the next garden! I proceeded on to the next garden and couldn't believe what I was looking at. There in the garden stood two "people". At first they looked really odd. There was a man of about 50 wearing a large trench coat that went down to nearly his feet. I could see he had large black boots on. As my eyes moved up, I saw his hands; they were very pale and I noticed that his fingernails were very long, like claws, and were really dirty, like a yellow colour. Next I saw its head. It was bald on top and at the sides had long, black, greasy hair down to its shoulders. Its mouth was open enough to show sharp yellow teeth, and it had a large pointed nose! That's when I noticed the eyes--jet black eyes that you would never believe if you hadn't seen them. I instantly froze to the spot. It felt like time froze. No one was around, nothing moved, no wind, and all I could do was stare in its eyes and I knew it was staring right back at me. I was aware of the other one near it. "He" was younger and dressed in more modern clothes of the time, as in trainers, popper trousers, a big blue puffa jacket and a baseball cap. I didn't see that one's face as I was stuck staring into those deep, endless pits there were the eyes of the first thing. I will tell you now that I have never felt so terrified in my life! After what felt like hours, I managed to break my gaze and run home.
When I got indoors, I cried my eyes out. I think it was the shock. The horror of knowing these things are wandering around in broad daylight! I never knew what they were until last night when I discovered the stories of black-eyed children. After reading some of the stories, I realize I was quite lucky that it wasn't a night time door visit and hope I never experience it again!"
So what happened to the two errant friends?
ReplyDeleteYes, what happened? Are they ok?
