A few do. There is a black hole in the constellation Cygnus that is causing intense x-rays as matter falls in from the accretion disk. Since it was the first intense X-ray source that could not be identified as coming from a star, it was named "X-1", and it was much later that it was identified as being a probably black hole.

They now know that it is a binary system with about a 4 million solar mass black hole and a blue giant star orbiting it every 5 days. The intense x-ray bursts are from the black hole pulling in the outer layer of gas from the star at break-neck speeds.
