Black-eyed Kids Collect for UNICEF

Mindy K, a Middlefield woman, reported to police that a group of kids were collecting money for UNICEF.  Initially, Mindy was ready to help, but as she reached for her purse, she reports she felt something terribly wrong.  Mindy said that when she looked up, she noticed that these kids didn’t have white in their eyes.  The eyes were completely black! The feeling of dread got worse for Mindy.  She told the kids, that she couldn’t help, and attempted to leave.  The kids wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer.  They pleaded and continued to shake their UNICEF collection boxes.  Mindy reported to the police that the sound didn’t come from the direction of the kids, instead the sound of their pleas seemed to come from every direction at once.  Terror over came Mindy until she started her car and drove away.  When she took the police back to the site of the incident, the black-eyed kids were gone.

Although this isn’t the first siting of black-eyed kids (a.k.a BEKs), this is the first known incident in Middlefield, CT.  The initial reports of BEKs came in 1998, with the kids pleading with the potential victims for help.  Most of the time, the BEKs want permission to be invited into the victim’s home.  Mindy K’s experience is the first time a BEK claimed to be collecting for a children’s charity. Police recommend being careful before giving your money to anybody.

Telepath Accused of Cheating!

A shocking set of accusations came out today just after this week’s try-outs for Coginchaug’s Girls Volley Ball team. Junior athlete, Katie S., was accused of using telepathy to mentally command her opponents to stop playing during critical player evaluations.  Player’s skills were evaluated in a variety of test and activities, including a 6 on 6 game.  During one of these matches, Katie is accused by opposing players (who have yet to be named) of sending a “stand still” command when the she served the ball.  The coach was stunned to see all six girls in rigid, near comatose stances while the ball fell harmlessly feel to the gym floor.  A second later, the girls started to behave normally.  None of the girls could explain why she didn’t move during the serve.  After reading the girls the riot act, play resumed, but again, they became rigid during the next serve. The coach and other students couldn’t believe their eyes.  Other witnesses couldn’t understand what was happening.

MI flat out asked Katie about her involvement.  She said “Yes, I was there, and yes I served the ball.  But no, I didn’t do anything to them.  I don’t have mind control powers.  That’s just silly…I think those girls are freaks, and they don’t belong on the team!”  Neither the school’s coach, nor the athletic director could be reached for comment.  However, the school’s administrative assistant indicated that all of the girls made the team.

MI is pleased to hear this incident didn’t prevent anyone from getting on the team; but the MI editorial staff can’t help but wonder how the team will perform during this fall’s season.  Hopefully the team will patch things up, and push through this unusual try-out.
