Hello and welcome back to Life’s Biggest Questions, I’m Ron McKenzie-Lefurgey.
Eyeless Jack is a spooky character originating from the scary stories of the internet known
as Creepypasta.
He’s known for sneaking into houses at night in hopes of cannibalizing unknowing victims.
But what if this freaky fella was not a creation of the internet, but actually a real thing?
Let’s explore.
If you want more What If videos, check out our “Biggest What Ifs” playlist on the
channel.
Now get ready, it’s time to ask the question: What if Eyeless Jack was Real?
As is common with these creepypasta creatures, little is known of Eyeless Jack’s appearance.
Which makes him kinda hard to research, but such is life.
However, there are some consistencies between the stories.
Eyeless Jack is generally described as a person in a black hoodie, wearing a blue mask with
no nose or mouth.
As the name would entail, he seems to have no eyes, with large, black sockets staring
out from behind the mask.
It’s also said that dark liquid, presumably blood, can be seen dripping from his eyes.
Technically, not even his gender is known, but since Jack is in the name, I’ll assume
he's male for the purposes of this video.
With regards to his actions, Eyeless Jack, whom I must continuously remind myself not
to call Jacksepticeye, is one murderous dude.
Some stories tell of him sneaking into houses at night and attacking people, others tell
of him stealthily stealing kidneys and eating them.
The original story paints a pretty gruesome picture.
A man named Mitch moves in with his brother Edwin, and wakes up one night with a large
gash on his cheek.
He goes to the hospital, only for the doctor to lift his shirt and say "You somehow lost
your left kidney last night.
We don't know how, though.
Sorry, Mitch."
(beat) Look, I didn't say it was a GOOD story.
Mitch goes back home, is confronted by Eyeless Jack, snaps a quick picture, and flees.
Later, he learns that his brother was murdered by the creature, and finds a piece of his
partially-eaten kidney near the body.
Yikes.
Sounds scary…
And unrealistic, but hey, that’s creepypasta for you.
Let’s look past the awkward dialogue and imagine what would happen if this badboy really
existed.
The murderous aspect of Eyeless Jack isn’t particularly new to this world.
Serial killers really do exist in the real world, and while Eyeless Jack might be somewhat
more effective and enigmatic than other killers, the end result would be more or less the same.
If word got out that he was going around killing people, many people would become rather paranoid
about it.
His unsettling appearance would certainly increase fear of him, although for most people,
the fact that he kills and eats people would be enough to instil fear.
Furthermore, the fact that he wears a mask would make it difficult for police to catch
him, since even survivors wouldn’t be able to identify him, and his ability to avoid
capture would prove useful.
Of course, a huge factor would be whether or not Eyeless Jack was a human, or some sort
of monster.
If human, it’s possible that he would eventually be apprehended by the police, or even get
overpowered and killed by one potential victim.
Some stories tell of him getting into a violent scuffle with certain victims, meaning if he
was human and made a mistake, he could be killed at any point.
However, if Eyeless Jack was some sort of mystical creature with magic abilities, he
would be difficult to stop.
It’s unclear based on the stories whether or not the creature can be harmed, but it
probably could be.
The problem is, the way it sneaks into houses and somehow extracts kidneys without people
feeling it does seem to point to some sort of magical or demonic abilities.
The cannibalism would also indicate that it wasn’t human, although he certainly wouldn’t
be the first cannibal serial killer we’ve ever seen.
In this case, it’s possible that Eyeless Jack would never be caught, and would simply
become a real life Boogeyman.
At the end of the day, however, even this would not change the world too much.
Even if his powers truly were mystical, there’s a good chance that the mainstream narrative
would hold that he was simply a highly skilled person, who was managing to avoid capture.
The only people who would know the truth would be the victims, and as we know, they tend
not to live all that long.
And those who survive would have a good deal of trouble convincing others that a demon
had attacked them.
It would be scary to know that you might just wake up without a kidney, but then, that sounds
quite a bit better than waking up dead.
While it would be rather terrifying to run into Eyeless Jack, the addition of a single
serial killer wouldn’t affect the world all that much.
