It is some time ago now that I had the unnerving experience of standing eye to eye with such a person
I recall leaving a shop on a bright summers day without a care in the world!
This "person" bumped" into me and at the moment I looked up to apologise for the collision I was drawn more by disgust that anything to their eyes which appeared a mass of solid BLACK
The shock was so great that it took a while for me to regain my composure but even then I found it difficult to walk on and go about my business as I felt as though I had been scarred and sullied in a profound way!
Stupid, paranoid or over imaginative?
Some time later I chanced upon an article about the "Invasion of the Black-Eyed People,
Encounters with strange beings said to be "inhuman""
By Stephen Wagner, About.com
CREEPY, UNNERVING, threatening, sinister... even inhuman. These are words that people have used to describe children, adolescents and adults they have encountered who share an odd trait in common: unnaturally black eyes. Black-eyed people. Black-eyed kids. Who are they?
Granted, many people have dark eyes. Although black is not a natural eye coloration, there are many people with very dark brown or dark blue eyes that, under the right lighting conditions, can look black or nearly black. But in some cases, the black-eyed people are seen in excellent lighting conditions – bright daylight, for example. Also, some of these reports say that these are not just incidents of dark irises; their entire eye appears black, with little or no white showing. ..........................
I have yet to make my mind up about my experience but having considered the possibility of black contact lenses, goth fashion, context and perspective I keep coming back to the way the encounter made me feel. My hair stood up on the back of my neck and to me that can only mean one thing. TROUBLE!
Anyone had a similar experience? If you have then share here - be really interested to know!
