BLACK-EYED KID: Was He Responsible For a Suicide...or Worse?

Two cousins were fishing underneath a railroad trestle in rural Indiana when they encountered a black-eyed kid with sharpened teeth. They later find out that an apparent death occurred after they had left.

I received the following account:

“One time, a few years ago, my cousin and I were out fishing underneath a railroad trestle here in rural southern Indiana. And we were coming off of fishing. It was about 10 at night. We came up to the top of the trestle and a young kid was standing up there wearing a dark-colored hoodie. And he had motioned for us to come to him. We walked over towards him and he said, 'Can you walk me across the trestle?' About that time, he had looked up and he had black eyes and his teeth were like almost came up to a point, which took us both back. And, right then, we said, 'No!' and we both got out of there. But when we were there, there was a guy across the trestle fishing.

Now, we got about halfway home which was a couple miles and we heard a helicopter. And what that was a lifeline. The guy that was still up there fishing, he ended up diving off of the trestle, face-first. He committed suicide. This was exactly when we left. This boy had come up and asked us and he was across the trestle fishing. The kid looked very demonic. I mean he had the image of a kid, the body of a kid, but he looked evil. We knew as soon as he put his head up that this was something you did not want to be around.

Then the guy that was fishing right across from us, it wasn't even twenty minutes, maybe twenty-five, and that's when the helicopter flew over. We didn't find out until the next day that it was that guy who went to the middle of the trestle, dove off head-first, and died. Automatically, I told my cousin not to ever walk out to the middle of that, or near, that trestle.”

Popular shapeshifting creatures in folklore and legend are werewolves and vampires, as well as gods, goddesses, and demons. Lycanthropy is classified as a mental disorder in which the victim believes that they are a wolf or some other nonhuman animal. There are also metamorphs, in which a living being changes into a known or cryptid entity. An example of this phenomenon is when a Navajo native practitioner transforms into a magical being, or Skinwalker, with evil intentions using witchcraft.

While the popular idea of a shapeshifter is of a human being who turns into something else, there are numerous stories about animals that can transform themselves as well.

The following accounts include a mix of supernatural shapeshifters, though some of these examples are not well-known. So relax, listen to the reports, and make your assessment as to the nature of these transformed entities.

If you have questions, feel free to post them in the live chat. I will do my best to answer each inquiry.
