A London bookseller recalls his harrowing experience with a black-eyed man in his store. The encounter startled the bookseller so badly that he felt the need to sell his business.
I received the following disturbing account:
"Hi, Lon. I have been reading your blog recently. I was drawn to the recollections of people who had experiences with black-eyed people. I decided to contact you with my story.
I used to own an occult bookstore in Westminster, London, UK about 15 years ago. The checkout counter faced opposite the store entrance. It was around noon, and there were a few customers checking out. My employee and I were helping customers when I noticed a man in a light sweater walk into the store. He looked normal, but was looking down in front of him. After he entered and walked a few steps towards the bookshelves, he lifted his head a bit and I caught a glimpse of the side of his face. He then turned his head and looked directly at me, like he knew I was watching him. His eyes were as black as night! I was shocked and I just stared at him. I felt as if I was hit with a bolt of electricity and my knees weakened. My employee noticed my condition and literally grabbed me before I fell to the floor.
I told her I was OK, that my blood sugar may have dropped and I needed to get something to munch on. I turned my back and walked to the small table behind the counter. But then I heard my employee say 'Excuse me, sir.' I quickly turned and noticed the black-eyed man standing behind the counter and only a few feet from me. He stared directly at me, not saying a word. I was so frightened and suddenly ran towards the stairs and up into my office, hoping he'd not follow. I heard my employee tell him that she would call the police if he didn't leave. I remained in the office for several minutes. My employee walked halfway up the stairs to check on me and I asked if he had left. She said that he was gone. I told her to close the store.
It was a terrible experience and I literally feared for my life. I haven't seen any other black-eyed people since then, but I was so affected by that encounter, I decided to sell the business soon afterwards. I just can't explain why I did so, but I feel it was important to not be there any longer." NK
