Black Eyed Children in my backyard

Woods behind my house
August 2016

When I was around 14 I was watching tv in my house at around 8 at night with my mom when she pointed out some shadowy figures in our backyard that she could see through the window from across the room. There had been a break in like a couple months ago in our neighborhood so I'm sure she was just worried about someone casing the house. However, when I go to the window to get a closer look I see what I remember as three figures with hoods over their heads. They were traversing across our backyard from left to right, where there is woods on both sides. One looked up at me and I swear its face had completely black eyes and it didn't look like my neighbors or anyone I knew. It was almost mannequin like. I don't know how to describe it its just like nothing I've ever seen. I do not believe in ghosts and I don't think alien lifeforms have made contact with earth but I can't deny something immensely supernatural and fucked up about that experience. I just can't in my heart say what I saw was human. I told my mom that there were kids in the backyard and one of them had a really creepy face so she just made sure we locked all the doors before we went to bed. Wasn't until recently that I heard about the black-eyed children and it made my blood run cold because I'm sure that's what I saw that night.
