Short version: They might have been made up by people on the internet.
Who are these terrifying black-eyed ghost children, and why are they on the newspaper front pages all of a sudden?
It started on Sunday when the Birmingham Mail reported on "paranormal investigator" Lee Brickley's attempts to investigate sightings of black-eyed children at a beauty spot in Cannock, Staffordshire.
The paper interviewed Brickley, who said an unnamed woman told him she had seen a spooky child whose eyes were "completely black, no iris, no white, nothing".
He claimed that black-eyed children sightings were prevalent in the 1980s, citing a time his aunt and friends saw one on Cannock Chase in 1982. He also said there have been other recent sightings too.
The report said says that there have been sightings of Slender Man – a bogeyman invented by people on online forums – as well as a creature Brickley refers to as The Pig Man.
Then the Daily Star covered the chilling tale on Tuesday with a front-page story based on Brickley's testimony.
