There's certainly some weird chavs that hang around where I live, I always wonder what the point of their existence is and whether they are part of a separate species or something lol but I've never seen any with black eyes thankfully! It sure doesn't sound at all like the usual stories of black eyed kids, perhaps he had a medical condition, it doesn't seem like he wasn't from this society so to speak.

who knows, they could be sent by Satan to keep an eye out, or just something rather evil, it's an unexplained mystery like everything else.

Interesting...

With the person I saw, you could see the whites of his eyes but only just around the edges. To give an accurate description, It looked as though his pupils had grown over his iris', leaving the whites only partially visible, and most of his eyes black.

This person was the equivalent of what some refer to as a chav. And unless he stole the money and found a computer, I doubt he could've afforded state-of-the-art contact lenses.

Do they ship them oversea's?

And if so, why did he choose to wear them every single time he went outside?

How long do contact lenses last before you need a new pair?

If these are around £200-300 per contact, he'd need several hundred pound for the 7 or so times I saw him. He'd have to rob a bank just to afford it.

Not to mention, they're not sold in England. Not 'Hollywood-grade' contacts.

Peace and take care.

$99, this is a UK store, they last for 6 months once opened.  And these are the full black ones.  To just black out your pupils, they're only about $20.

Again, the notion that these things are super expensive and hard to get is a myth.

It's a revelation to me, Raf. Thanks for letting me know. I might take a look around the sight. However you can easily notice in the up-close shots (bottom picture) they are contacts. Fake and plaggy.

However, they're still not sold in York as far as I'm aware, and if they are, well, it proves me wrong. For those of us who never travel out of York, they're impossible to purchase unless you own a computer. Considering this kid moved into a ramshackle council house in a poor neighborhood it's unlikely the kid had the money for several sets of £100 contact lenses. He'd need around £10,00 for the sets provided in the above link.

I doubt this person I saw would wear black contacts every single time he went outside, even to school. (he'd be told to remove them or face detention/eventually be expelled for disobedience.)

I humbly guarantee everybody that this kids eyes were naturally black. Like some of us have suggested, perhaps he was born with a medical condition of some sorts, but that doesn't explain the feelings of intense loathing, fear and dread.

Insaniac did you ever think about trying to become friends with him? Did he have any friends that he hung out with or was he alone everytime you saw him?

Sometimes he hung out with people who I considered to be the wrong crowd. Chavs, some other people I knew from school who had reputations as bullies who I've never gotten along with in the past. So they're all a**holes to me.

No, I never had the courage to ask him. Whenever I saw him, I wouldn't feel safe. Just threatened. No one else in my life has ever intimidated me more than this individual.

Oh okay what does Chav mean?

In America I think they go by a different name, but a chav is a youth who neither has any form of employment or sometimes an education. Also of note, it's as if you have to dress in tracksuits or popular brands (Nike, Reebok, etc) before society labels you a chav.

It might have more meanings, but thats all I know.

Take care.

In the states I think the word might be Hooligan? I dunno but thanks for the explanation

[DancingCorpse]

Yes hooligan is a good definition, usually they congregate on street corners near shops or in town centres and yell offensive words at passers by and threaten those who have done nothing to intimidate them lol, they are pretty vulgar and bizarre for the most part and usually have children at early ages who they care nothing for!

Come to think of it...there was this brother and sister I knew a few years back. They were from England and their eyes were really dark and from what I could tell they were damaged goods, still I befriended them anyway because..well I was a loner. They were kind but sort of..off if you get me, like secretive. I always thought their eyes were pretty cool actually but to be honest, I have a thing were I can't look into someone's eyes for more than a few seconds and so I never asked them. They left for England suddenly one day and I never saw them again...interpret that as you please.
