A pregnant woman is annoyed by the constant knocking at her door. When she opens the door a black-eyed woman in her 50s demands to be let in and to use the phone!
I received the following account:
"It was a Saturday night around 9 pm and no one was home. Everyone had gone out for dinner and I decided to stay home as I felt nauseous (8 months pregnant) and exhausted after having worked 10 hours. I was in my kitchen rummaging through the fridge for a light snack when someone knocked on my front door. This surprised me because my family has keys, they would just open the door right away. Also in my neighborhood, you know not to open the door unless you're expecting company.
The knocking continued. I decided to not answer and they would go away as one would do to solicitors or unwanted company. But, no, the knocking continued. Now irritated I go to the front door and look out the peephole to see a woman in her 50s just standing there staring down at my welcome mat. Seems harmless I think to myself and stupidly open the door but the screen door is still locked and standing in between her and I. Awkwardly she hasn't looked up and hasn't said a word, so I ask, "Can I help you?"
She stays quiet. Then without any emotion, more like in a monotone voice, she asks if she can use my phone. I said I didn't have one because one it didn't seem like an emergency and two, people snatch phones and run in my city so I was paranoid. She asked again more forcibly to use my phone and then demanded by saying 'Let me in' and looked up at me. Her eyes are solid black and holds eye contact with me, almost smirking.
I remember the stories I have read. All of the children. But here was this older lady with black eyes. The only way I can describe how she made me feel is that I felt threatened. I look away but quickly look back at her eyes, something about them draws you into them. I tell her, 'NO!' Then I demand that she leave and begin to slowly close the door but she practically screams 'LET ME IN!' Startled, I turn on the porch light hoping to scare her away.
What she does next confuses me to this day. She can clearly see me now, looks down at my pregnant tummy turns around, and walks away. That's it, no looking back, no nothing. I was dumbfounded.
That was 3 years ago and I have not seen her since. My child was born without incident. The mere presence of the black-eyed woman remains with me." UA
