Don’t Let Them In – The Black-Eyed Kids

2025-05-18

House of Weird returns with a fresh dose of paranormal dread, and this week we’re answering a knock at the door—and immediately regretting it. In this episode, we dive into the unsettling phenomenon of the Black-Eyed Kids—childlike entities with pitch-black eyes who show up asking to be let in… usually late at night, always somewhere remote, and never for anything good. We explore the origins of the legend, the first documented encounter, and some of the eeriest real-life stories from people who met them and lived to tell the tale (barely).

Are they aliens? Demons? Government experiments in tiny hoodies? No one knows. But one thing’s clear: they can’t come in unless you say yes. So don’t.

Is it a scientifically responsible deep dive into urban mythology? Absolutely not.

Is it two cool dudes trying to figure out if you can legally tase a paranormal child? Pretty much.

If you’re into ghost stories, urban legends, cryptids, cursed basements, haunted pubs, weird lights, and dry Aussie humour—you know where the weird lives.
