"At this point, the child made eye contact with her. Immediately the toddler's eyes turned a deep, opaque black. Not just the iris but the sclera as well."
I received the following account:
“Hello, Lon. I'm a dental surgeon practicing for the last 45 years here in Eureka, California. When I'm in my office late, I make it a point to break up the boredom of the massive paperwork mountain we dentists are now required to perform and from your program as well as Coast to Coast, I've heard stories about black-eyed children. Frankly, I would have rather heard about ghosts or UFOs, etc. Because black-eyed children just did not seem plausible. I received my first doctorate in physics and became a physician so that I could resume my own theoretical research for dimensional periodic functions which is pretty boring but needs a lot of time and may be instrumental in the multi-verse theory.
One of the tricks I've used over the decade was when a patient is fearful of a needle or some other potential procedure, I used to ask the patient: 'What is the strangest thing you've ever seen?" Once a patient is talking, breaking into some story, the chances of nausea or anxiety are greatly reduced in my experience. So here's the story:
One of my internal medicine colleagues sent me his wife for a procedure. The wife, the patient, is an attorney. For a patient, she's really nervous, even telling my assistant that she really dreads going to the dentist. So while I was performing the preliminaries to surgery, I asked what's the strangest thing you've ever seen? The patient replied, "You wouldn't believe me. I'm not even sure I believe it myself." Now I really got to get the story. The patient finally acquiesced and told me what happened.
It was March of 2015. The patient was in our local Safeway, pushing a cart like everyone else. She was on the left side of the aisle. Being left-handed, she was taking items with her left hand and putting them into her cart. At this point, she hears the sound of cooing and baby-talking. And this toddler was standing in a cart that had drawn parallel to her. She looked up to see a blonde-haired, blue-eyed toddler, a boy. About eighteen months. She smiled and said, "Hi, baby." At this point, the child made eye contact with her. Immediately the child's eyes turned a deep, opaque black. Not just the iris but the sclera as well. She took a rapid step back, not only fearful of the transmogrification but the feeling of being drawn into those eyes. She broke eye contact. The child grinned at her, black eyes and all. She was immobile as the mother of the child and the cart carried on their way down the aisle turning right at the end. The child looked at her as the mother made this turn. Its eyes were normal and blue as before. My patient then went on to the end of the aisle, turned left, checked out, and then went home fearing she was having a psychotic break.
I asked her a few questions:
Did you see the mother? No, but she was thin, with long blonde hair, and wore jeans. She did not remember any facial features.
Have you ever heard of the black-eyed children? No, I would never ascribe to that paranormal stuff, was her response.
And just to be complete, this patient was not a drinker, nor does she have any history of drugs, save some THC in college. I do not know what to make of this story. The patient is a practicing attorney, well respected in our small community, and married to a physician. There was nothing in her demeanor at all in our contacts to make us suspect drug abuse or mental abnormalities. An ophthalmologist colleague told me that he had once heard a similar story but does not know any syndromes that would cause black sclera save for any trauma.
