&lt;p&gt;Should you ever despair of life so much that you want to die, you have the means at hand and yearn to end your life, you have written a suicide note to those you will leave behind and you are prepared to die… at that moment, stop.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Get a pair of scissors. Cut away at the note until you end up with a piece of paper in the shape of a key. Go to a door, any one will do. Push the paper key forward and turn your hand as if unlocking an imaginary lock.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The lock is real. Open the door. There you will find it. The other earth. The one that awaits to replace this one when it dies. That death is inevitable, but in the meantime the other earth will belong to you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Be warned: the other earth is very different from this one.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/32996429</link><guid>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/32996429</guid><pubDate>Sun, 27 Apr 2008 05:18:09 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>There it goes again. Something definitely moved this time. It was very brief, but out of the corner...</title><description>&lt;p&gt;There it goes again. Something definitely moved this time. It was very brief, but out of the corner of your eye, you saw something. But wait. All the doors are locked, no pets, and your parents won’t get home until 10. So there’s no way something moved. It’s just your imagination getting the best of you. Sitting alone in your room, the only light emitting from the monitor of your computer, you stare into the darkness for several minutes. Just to be sure. Now you feel silly. What were you thinking? Of course there’s nothing there. What, are you 6? Go back to what you were doing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;15 minutes later, as you prepare to go to bed, you’re in the bathroom. The shower curtains shift. Wait… no. Stop spooking yourself. It’s just an overactive imagination, filling your head with what isn’t really there. You gaze into the mirror at yourself. You say it to yourself, slowly and clearly, “Imagination.” With a sigh, you turn the lights off and head towards your room.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Laying in bed, you stare at your ceiling, dark and foreboding, only the motion of a small fan disturbing the calmness of the night. A shadow from the light in the hall shifts. No. No, no, no. Stop it. It’s your imagination. Just that. Go to sleep, you fool.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But then, just when you’re about to drift off to sleep, at the phase no one remembers when they wake, you sense something in the darkness. It’s your imagination, leering down at you. With a jagged, macabre smile.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/32996281</link><guid>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/32996281</guid><pubDate>Sun, 27 Apr 2008 05:15:23 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/bj40hEoNv876ze28GhTLi9cB_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/32760202</link><guid>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/32760202</guid><pubDate>Thu, 24 Apr 2008 14:05:32 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>In Gjoberdik, a small fisherman’s village in the country of Bulgaria, on the dawn of January...</title><description>&lt;p&gt;In Gjoberdik, a small fisherman’s village in the country of Bulgaria, on the dawn of January the first everyone closes their curtains and hold their breath for half a minute. Hours after the craze of midnight’s celebrations, children look questioning at their worried parents, but can not help to shiver in the embrace of their shaking parents.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One can hear the sound of bells being struck exactly 25 times last year, in this short timespan. The nearest church however, is over 32 miles away. You will find no one out on the streets in these faithful 30 seconds, and even the birds will stop whistling.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some have gone out of their houses, roaring boldly in disbelief of this century old tradition. On the first sunset of this year, two people gambled their fate in the very first rays of sunlight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The next dawn, the bells will be struck 27 times.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/30283362</link><guid>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/30283362</guid><pubDate>Sun, 30 Mar 2008 15:54:53 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>An elderly man was sitting alone on a dark path.

He wasn’t certain of which direction to go, and he’d forgotten both where he was traveling to and who he was. He’d sat down for a moment to rest his weary legs, and suddenly looked up to see an elderly woman before him. She grinned toothlessly and with a cackle, spoke: “Now your *third* wish. What will it be?”&lt;br/&gt;“Third wish?” The man was baffled. “How can it be a third wish if I haven’t had a first and second wish?”&lt;br/&gt;“You’ve had two wishes already,” the hag said, “but your second wish was for me to return everything to the way it was before you had made your first wish. That’s why you remember nothing; because everything is the way it was before you made any wishes.” She cackled at the poor man. “So it is that you have one wish left.”&lt;br/&gt;“All right,” he said, “I don’t believe this, but there’s no harm in wishing. I wish to know who I am.”&lt;br/&gt;“Funny,” said the old woman as she granted his wish and disappeared forever. “That was your first wish.”</description><link>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/29575683</link><guid>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/29575683</guid><pubDate>Sat, 22 Mar 2008 16:49:05 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>"Every time you exhale, a little bit of your soul escapes.

&lt;p&gt;Ever fogged up a mirror with your breath?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Don’t do that.&lt;/p&gt;”</description><link>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/29575566</link><guid>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/29575566</guid><pubDate>Sat, 22 Mar 2008 16:46:57 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>When you are admitted to a hospital, they place on your wrist a white wristband with your name on...</title><description>&lt;p&gt;When you are admitted to a hospital, they place on your wrist a white wristband with your name on it. But there are other different colored wristbands which symbolizes other things. The red wristbands are placed on dead people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There was one surgeon who worked on night shift in a school hospital. He had just finished an operation and was on his way down to the basement. He entered the elevator and there was just one other person there. He casually chatted with the woman while the elevator descended. When the elevator door opened another woman was about to enter when the doctor slammed the close button and punched the button to the highest floor. Surprised the woman reprimanded the doctor for being rude and asked why he did not let the other woman in.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The doctor said “that was the woman i just operated on. She died while I was doing the operation. Didn’t you see the red wristband she was wearing?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The woman smiled and raised her arm “something like this?”&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/29573476</link><guid>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/29573476</guid><pubDate>Sat, 22 Mar 2008 16:09:54 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>This is an interesting painting.

It’s called “&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crying_Boy"&gt;The Crying Boy&lt;/a&gt;” and it’s made by Bruno Amadio. It was a popular mass-produced print in the ’80s.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The creepy thing with this painting is, that undamaged copies of it was found in ruins of burned houses. I havn’t found if it actually cursed the houses or something, but it still looks creepy.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/25501025</link><guid>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/25501025</guid><pubDate>Mon, 04 Feb 2008 15:19:00 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>For a brief period in 1971, a New Jersey based company sold novelty “x-ray” glasses...</title><description>&lt;p&gt;For a brief period in 1971, a New Jersey based company sold novelty “x-ray” glasses through the mail via advertisements in the Marvel line of comic books. People who viewed their televisions while wearing these glasses reported seeing images that were “hellish” or “like hell”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It should be noted that this phenomena occured whether the televisions in question were turned on or not. The company quickly went out of business and investigations reveal that the company’s address leads to a graveyard founded many decades before 1971.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/25500883</link><guid>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/25500883</guid><pubDate>Mon, 04 Feb 2008 15:13:43 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>"The next time you wake up groggy and tired, don’t move.

&lt;p&gt;Today a friend of mine told me a story.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His aunt had taken care of him since he was a small boy, and she told him last night about how his parents died. He did a very fair imitation of her (I knew them both pretty well):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;“They were doing mission work in some nasty little south american country when a man burst into the mission hospital one night, terrified out of his mind. He told them that his sister had been killed by a Muerto blanco, and that he was certain that it was coming for him next. What is a Muerto blanco? Apparently it was some sort of bogey-man, something like that dumb chupacabra or whatever. They called it the White Death or the White Girl, because it was the soul of someone who hated life so much that they came back in their shrouds to kill those who told of them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The man had been told about the vengeful spirit by his sister hours before her death. It was a girl with dead, black eyes that wept bile. The thing moved without ever actually moving its legs, and it stalked its victims back to their homes. Now, if you weren’t already aware that this thing was following you, once it got back to your house, it would start knocking on your door…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Once for you skin, which she’ll use to patch her own decaying flesh.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Twice for your muscle, which she’ll gnash her teeth on between victims.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Thrice for your bones, which she’ll make knives to pick her teeth and kill her victims.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Four times for your heart, which she’ll wear around her neck.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Five times for your teeth, which she’ll polish and keep in a box.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Six times for your eyes, which she’ll see the faces of your loved ones through.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Seven times for your soul, which she’ll eat whole - you can never pass while you’re in her stomach.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She has to repeat this on any mirror or door between you and her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can try to outrun her, but she’s faster than the fastest man. And if you leave your home while she’s knocking on your door, she won’t be so courteous when she catches up to you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now the man was certain that this thing had killed his sister, that he had tried to tell the police, but they would not listen. Next he had tried to tell his priest, but the priest turned him away when he saw that the thing was following him now - oh, that’s right, I forgot about that - it can only get you if you tell someone else about it, or you saw it kill someone else. The man, after finishing his tale, stole a car from the mission, and was never seen again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Apparently his mother and father had immediately called his aunt about this when it happened. They were found in the morning, skinned and dismembered. Their bodies were covered in tiny, child-like handprints.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His aunt was really drunk the night before, and had told him about that. He told me this story early in the morning today at school, before the cops arrived. His aunt had been murdered that night. I called him later that night, and he told me that he was being chased by someone, and now they were knocking on his door. I told him to stop shitting me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He held the phone away from his face for a minute, and I could hear slow, deliberate knocking. A moment later, I heard the door rip from its hinges and the dying screams of my friend.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then a little girl’s voice spoke over the line: “WITNESS.” I hung up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Three minutes ago someone started knocking on my door. She has to knock 28 times on my front door, 28 times on the mirror in the hall, and another 28 times on the door to my bedroom. She’s doing it slowly… I think she wants to scare me some more, let me know that my death is just moments away. I will not run - I couldn’t get to my car in time anyway. She started knocking on my bedroom door a minute ago, she should be done any moment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nice knowing you guys, it’s been funjklm,.-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WITNESS&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/24968169</link><guid>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/24968169</guid><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 08:00:00 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>I am Thomas's reflection.&#13;</title><description>I am Thomas's reflection.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Every morning, he rises from sleep and walks into the bathroom.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
...and he makes faces.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
I am so tired of the faces. He makes them for at least half an hour. Mocking, ridiculous faces. I have no choice but to mimic his every action, although inside I am seething with anger.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
He does this every day... well, USED to.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
One morning he awoke as usual, and entered the bathroom.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
On this particular morning, against his will, he picked up a pair of scissors.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
On this particular morning, against his will, he gripped those scissors tightly in his fist.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
...on this particular morning, entirely against his will, he plunged those scissors directly into his right eye.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Thomas screamed, and screamed. I screamed and screamed too - with one difference.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
I can't mimic his pain.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Just his face.</description><link>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/24882710</link><guid>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/24882710</guid><pubDate>Mon, 28 Jan 2008 10:15:08 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>In almost every building, there is one corner, one small enclosure that no one ever looks at....</title><description>&lt;p&gt;In almost every building, there is one corner, one small enclosure that no one ever looks at. It’s the corner in the basement that has been blocked by a disused sofa for years; the thin space in the attic between the wall and the stacks and stacks of crates full of junk you never use, but could never throw away. The space that never sees the light of day, or any other kind of light at all. Where darkness does not merely dominate, but practically oozes out from around the edges of its prison. No one knows quite how long a space must remain concealed for it to acquire this particular property, nor if there are any specific conditions it must meet. But it is a far more common occurrence than you might think.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In newer buildings, when this happens, the residents often report feeling cold when passing by, even in attics during the hottest of summers. Whenever contemplating taking a quick peek to see if there is anything actually there, an unnatural dread seizes them, and they leave the room quickly, if not quite running. Once left behind, the feeling passes, and it is quickly forgotten, or laughed off.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What actually happens in these forgotten sanctuaries of the dark? It is impossible to tell. For while many such corners have been exposed to reveal absolutely nothing, some brave souls have lost their sanity through nothing more than an ill-timed glance. The safest thing to do when encountered with such a phenomenon; close your eyes, rip away the area’s covering in a single motion, then keep a tight hold on what you’ve pulled away. No matter what you hear or feel, do not get up, do not look around, and do not try to cover your ears. You might be one of the lucky ones.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/24716468</link><guid>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/24716468</guid><pubDate>Sat, 26 Jan 2008 07:17:54 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>"Don’t look in public restroom mirrors too long.

A video camera was also found in the kitchen, standing on a tripod and pointing at the oven. No tape was found inside the camera at the time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although the scene was originally labeled as a homicide by police, an unmarked VHS tape was later discovered at the bottom of the farm’s well (which had apparently dried up earlier that year).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite its worn condition, and the fact that it contained no audio, police were still able to view the contents of the tape. It depicted a woman recording herself in front of a video camera (seemingly using the same camera the police found in the kitchen). After positioning the camera to include both her and her kitchen stove in the image, the tape then showed her turning on the oven, opening the door, crawling inside, and then closing the door behind her. Eight minutes into the video, the oven could be seen shaking violently, after which point thick black smoke could be seen emanating from it. The camera then continued to point at the oven for another 45 minutes until the batteries apparently died.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To avoid disturbing the local community, police never released any information about the tape, or even the fact that it was found. Police were also not able to determine who put the tape in the well…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;…or why the body of the woman on the tape did not in any way resemble the body of the woman found in the oven.&lt;/p&gt; (via &lt;a href="http://ghostvirus.tumblr.com/"&gt;ghostvirus&lt;/a&gt;)</description><link>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/24640370</link><guid>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/24640370</guid><pubDate>Fri, 25 Jan 2008 08:20:12 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Have you ever heard the expression “an apple a day keeps the Doctor away?” Most assume,...</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Have you ever heard the expression “an apple a day keeps the Doctor away?” Most assume, with no reason to think otherwise, that it is simply an easy-to-remember rhyme that stresses the importance of eating healthily to young children. But the saying did not originate as a harmless reminder. It was born in a frontier town in the early years of the gold rush, where food was scarce and money even scarcer. One August, when a bad drought had struck the region, a series of bloody killings swept through the town. Every night, a single house would be broken into, and anyone who saw the invader would be swiftly, brutally slain. Nothing was ever stolen, save for a few scraps of food.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After two weeks of this, the local grocer set out a few apples and a glass of milk in the town square overnight. He then hid in the tower of the church, hoping to catch a glimpse of anyone who came by. Fighting fatigue, the grocer waited for any sign of life below. Just after midnight, he was rewarded by a chilling sight; a man, carrying a black bag stuffed with dully shining metal tools and covered from head to foot in cloth bandages, staggered into view. He paused at the sight of the apples and milk, then whipped his head around, as if looking for the one who dared to patronize him. Seized with fear, the grocer ducked out of sight, staying hidden ‘til sunrise.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The strange man had only taken one of the apples, and didn’t even touch the glass of milk. No houses were broken into, and no one was killed. For decades, the town continued to place out an apple or two every night, even long after a single apple stopped disappearing.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/24640249</link><guid>http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/24640249</guid><pubDate>Fri, 25 Jan 2008 08:18:49 -0500</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
