Black Eyed Kid Ireland: Back in 2017, a friend and I embarked on a seven-week journey through Ireland and Scotland, exploring historic sites and immersing ourselves in the region’s folklore. Toward the end of our trip, we returned to Ireland and rented an Airbnb located on the grounds of a centuries-old castle.
The place had a mysterious and eerie vibe, the kind of location where you could almost feel the weight of history lingering in the air. Things became even stranger when we met the owner’s 14-year-old grandson. He quickly became our companion, joining us on our adventures and sharing his knowledge of the area’s legends.
One afternoon, he led us deep into the woods surrounding the castle. As we walked, the forest grew unnaturally quiet, and we stumbled upon a perfect ring of mushrooms — known in Irish folklore as a fairy circle. The moment we stepped inside, everything felt strange. Time seemed to blur and slip away, almost like we were under some kind of spell. It was impossible to tell how long we were inside the circle.
When we finally stepped back onto the path outside the circle, we felt a sudden rush of clarity, but that relief didn’t last long. Ahead of us was a man walking toward us with a child on his shoulders. At first, nothing seemed unusual, but as they drew closer, a deep sense of unease washed over us.
The child had platinum blond hair, sharp, unnatural facial features, and — most disturbingly — pitch-black eyes. The sight was so terrifying that none of us dared to look directly at the child. Instinctively, we knew something was very wrong. As we passed the man, we offered polite greetings, trying to mask our fear while every instinct screamed at us to run.
Once they were out of sight, the three of us finally stopped and admitted what we had seen. Each of us had noticed the same horrifying details, and we were all deeply shaken. It wasn’t just creepy — it felt wrong, as if we had brushed up against something otherworldly that didn’t belong in our world.
The strangeness continued the next morning. We all woke up certain it was Monday, but when we checked our phones, every single one of them displayed the date as Sunday again. Somehow, it was as if time itself had repeated.
The experience left us questioning reality. First the fairy circle, then the mysterious Black Eyed Kid, and finally the time slip — it all felt connected. Even now, years later, the memory remains vivid and haunting.
