**SKIP TO 00:13:19 TO GET TO THE STORY**
This week Nat enlightens Aly on a highly debated topic within the paranormal community: The Black Eyed Children. Commonly referred to as “B.E.K.”, these mysterious haunted kids show up demanding to be let inside whatever threshold divides them from their prey. Often sighted in parking lots, deserted alleys, and the doorsteps of isolated homes, the B.E.K. appear to be human children aside from one horrifying detail… their eyes are gigantic black holes. Sources for this episode are varied, as most sightings derive from oral tradition and personal accounts. It’s up to you, the listener, to decide what is fact or fantasy.
