This story was emailed in by a fan named TJ. He said he really enjoyed the story I posted last week and that had one he wanted to share.

June 2016, Aberdeen, Ohio. I was working the night shift at my local Taco Bell, when I had one of the scariest moments in my life that I have ever experienced.  It was 10:00 at night, the place was a graveyard, I was working the drive thru that night. We hadn’t had a customer in hours so I was catching up on some cleaning. Suddenly there was a loud static sound over my drive thru headphones, so loud I had to take them off. I checked the camera, nothing there so I went about my business. I then start getting that feeling like someone is watching me. Shortly after my co-worker comes from the back and lets out a shriek, I turn to see a girl with jet black hair standing at the drive thru window facing us. My coworker and I look at each other in dis-belief. We then hear the girl speak in a voice that still chills me to this very day. “May I come in?” My coworker and I stood there for a moment not knowing what to say. I then responded, “Sorry miss, the restaurant is closed for the night. We are only taking orders through the drive thru.” Then the girl replies, “ Please let me come in?! I really need to use that bathroom.” My co-worker then looks at me and whispers, “Dude maybe we should just let her in, she’s just a kid.” I shake my head no. Something just feels off about this whole thing. I mean what is a 10 or 11 year old girl doing standing in a drive thru at 10:00PM on a Wednesday night?  I responded to the girl, “I’m sorry we can’t let anyone in, we’ve closed the restaurant for the night.” After a moment of silence the girl starts banging on the window shouting, “Let me in! Let Me in!” I look at my co-worker and ask, “What should we do?!” he responded, “I don’t know, call the police?!” The girl then stops and stares at us and that’s when we see it, a set of pitch black eyes. After a few moments of silence we hear a voice that sounds like it’s coming from a thousand miles away. “…Hello?” We look in the direction it’s coming from, the drive thru headset! We walk over to it, turning our backs to the girl. I responded, “Hello?” The man on the other end responds, “Yes, can I have two 5 layer burritos?!” My co worker then shouts “Oh my god! She’s gone!” I turn to look at the girl who is nowhere to be seen. 

After serving the guy in the drive thru, my coworker and I began searching the internet on my phone only to find we had just had an encounter with a blacked eyed kid. I worked at that Taco Bell for another 2 years before moving from Ohio, we never saw the girl again.

Thank you for the story TJ! I really enjoyed this one, it was really creepy, and it sounds like the black-eyed kids show up at restaurants as well. I hope everyone enjoyed this story and that folks continue to send these in.
