CREEPYPASTA ARCHIVE

My grandmother's mirror has been in the family for four generations. Everyone who inherits it is warned: don't look at it after midnight. The reflection is not always yours.

The fog came in off the water on a Thursday and it didn't leave. Not unusual for the coast. Unusual that nobody who went into the fog came back the same.

Before Jeff, I was ordinary. Jane Richardson. High GPA, one good friend, parents who were present. Jeff came to our neighborhood and I stopped being ordinary.

Item #: SCP-049. Object Class: Euclid. SCP-049 appears as a medieval plague doctor. It believes it is curing a pestilence. Those it touches die. It then reanimates them.

Rap Rat was a 1992 VHS board game that came with a cassette tape featuring a rapping rat. Children who played it reported nightmares about the rat visiting them at night.

I began hearing a low hum in my house at night. My neighbors heard it too. We brought in acoustical engineers. The hum had no source. Then the hum began to change.

My neighbor smiles too much. Not socially — compulsively. His mouth is always open, always stretched, always showing teeth. He says he can't stop. He says it started after he looked at something he shouldn't have.

In rural communities across Central and South America, there is a figure called El Silbón — the Whistler. You can hear him coming from miles away. If the whistling sounds close, he is far. If it sounds far, he is right behind you.
