Dance, Dance

There was a girl who had an illness and was bed-ridden for the majority of her life. She was recently diagnosed to die within the next couple of months so her parents decided to spend as much time with her as they could before her time came. They decided that the best thing was to go camping at a local site for a little bit since the daughter was stuck in the hospital for so long.

On their way there, the girl was quiet as usual and laid in the back while the parents talked amongst themselves. When they finally reached their destination, they pitched the tent, unpacked everything and started a campfire. The mother was constantly filming the area and her daughter while the father went out for more firewood. It was getting dark when he came back, but he suddenly heard the mother scream so he rushed over to discover that his daughter was standing on her feet and was doing a wild, erratic ‘dance’ before she suddenly dropped dead.

After all the funeral processions and grieving subsided, the parents wanted to see the video the mother recorded on that very night. They put the tape in the player and began to watch. At first it just showed the mother looking at the scenery and random animals that passed by in the distance, but as the time frame skipped, it jumped to when she was inside the tent with the daughter as she stood up and began to jerk around.. But there was something wrong. It first was in the corner of their eyes but as they replayed the scene, their horror became more and more real.

The entire time the daughter was ‘dancing’, there was a ghastly white hand latched onto the top of her head.

  2. the new kid Dec 27th 2008

    creepy, written well

    i like :)
    i think my heart skipped a beat at the end..

  3. I want to dance craaaazy before I die!

  4. OSHI-

  5. all in a days work :)

  6. We’re falling apart to half-time.

  7. @Us= lulzzzz.

    Otherwise, though? This really was creepy, written nicely.

  8. I don’t find this very creepy at all.

    If a thing is to be supernaturally frightening, it’s important to give the smallest of inklings as to why the event is happening.

  9. @Us – I’d be lying if I said that wasn’t the first thing that came to mind when I titled this post ;)

  10. some good creepy pasta.
    it is broad daylight and i am still creeped out.

    but who was dance?

  11. and these are the lives we love to lead

  12. justthesweetweather Dec 27th 2008

    This is the way they’d love if they knew how misery loved me?

    Sorry, couldn’t help myself.
    Not a bad pasta.

  13. Squidlee Dec 27th 2008

    It reminds me of the story of the red shoes. With that girl who got the shoes and couldnt stop dancing so this dude chopped her feet off :D

  14. Anon E Mouse Dec 27th 2008

    *shivers*

    OOH!
    Very Creepy!
    Nice job!!!!

  15. The Person Formerly Known as 'Noneya' Dec 27th 2008

    My whole perception of reality is thrown into questiong.

    EVIL PUPPETEER, GHOST, OR INVISIBLE-GIANT CHILD PLAYING WITH ‘DOLLIES’, PLACE YOUR BETS NOW!

  16. wat

  17. MisterVercetti Dec 27th 2008

    @15: Do you also do video poker?

  18. The Person Formerly Known as 'Noneya' Dec 27th 2008

    @17:
    You ARE perceptive! :-D

  19. Fishyman Dec 27th 2008

    Me like. Very sudden though. My only criticism is that it could have used more build-up.

  20. PFKaNoneya: lawl. <3

  21. meh, it didn’t do it for me. But then again, it is the middle of the day. If it were night time, I’m sure it would’ve done something for me, but it just didn’t. CURSE YOU SUNLIGHT!! PS. Nice play on the fear of going in the woods.

  22. Jesus Tapdancing Christ Dec 27th 2008

    I liked this. Short, weird, and ended with a punch. You don’t always need everything spread out before you, completely explained…

    God, the ending was creepy. I shivered.

  23. Yotsuya Dec 27th 2008

    Oooh! That was genuinely creepy. Finally broke the steak of shabby pastas of late. Nice and short too.

    The “White Hand” can be found in old English lore. It is one of the many traditional harbingers of death (banshees, birds, etc.).

  24. schitzo Dec 27th 2008

    calm down y’all, all i did was choke a bitch

  25. Terra Obscurum Dec 27th 2008

    THEN WHO WAS PHONE?

  26. HackerOnHacker Dec 27th 2008

    Wow, I really liked this one. Very concise and well-written, especially given the length.

  27. my heart skipped a beat at the ending lol very yummy pasta :) ))

  28. Comment Leaver Dec 27th 2008

    Nice. Good ending, but it could use some cleaning up. Perhaps more description on the hand, or what exactly it was doing. It coulda just been a hand chilling on her head while she crazy danced.

  29. so she was a mii all along?

  30. @Lain

    It makes total sense XD

  31. Anonymous Dec 28th 2008

    FUUUUUU

  32. Syrange Dec 28th 2008

    AWWW SHIIIII

    Nice, nice. Now we’re getting back to what Creepypasta is all about.

  33. Redkamo Dec 28th 2008

    Was pretty creepy, too bad I somehow saw the end coming >_<

  34. Crazy Hand has picked up another trophy to add to his collection.

  35. Hmmm I like it but i dont really get the hand? Was it the grim reaper or something ahah I liked the part where she was doing a weird dance..

  36. @Lain – that’s the first thing I thought too….

    This actually spooked me – very nice!

  37. The Ghastly White Hand Dec 28th 2008

    Well see if I try to cheer up any more families with dying kids again. Sheesh.

  38. The Sims: Dancin’ Corpses Add-on! Buy it and let your favourite bedridden Sims suddenly dance, and watch the hilarious reactions of their Parents!

  39. Anonymous Dec 28th 2008

    Kind of good, it has potential, but it didn’t do it for me either. The dancing part for some reason gave it a Ring/Grudge feel.

  40. Anonymous Dec 28th 2008

    PUPPETEER

  41. wHiTe HaNd Dec 28th 2008

    hey, guys, i’m sorry about that. i was trying to get some sleep in my tent and she got in the way and i went topick her up and mover her but she kinda stuck to my hand so i tried to shake her off. girls are VERY sticky.

  42. that is the first creepypasta that has actually made me pee my panties a bit.

    and i’ve read them all.

    off to get changed now.

  43. lol at panties girl

    get a nappy

  44. hey, wheres panties girl’s comment dudes?

  45. WHO WAS FALL OUT BOY?

  46. Anonymous Dec 28th 2008

    Maybe a ghost was fucking her in the ass?
    That would explain the hand on her head, and her twiching.

  47. Teira-chan Dec 28th 2008

    OSHI– DDDD:

    This one was pretty good, had an old-school creepypasta vibe to it. Y’know, from the days when they were short and genuinely freaky. <3

  48. This one was decent. Though it would have been creepier if the parents went on to view other videos of their daughter and the hand was always somewhere, like on her shoulder or something. That’d be cool.

  49. The Overanalyzer Dec 28th 2008

    Very creepy.

    Although I agree, it could have used a little more build up- it felt somewhat rushed, although you got the point across.

  50. Shuleeps Dec 28th 2008

    Meh, it was okay.

  51. LMLYUT Dec 29th 2008

    Is it sad that I immediately thought “evil puppeteer” as soon as I saw the name of the story?

    “Dance, my puppets! Dance!”

    No scary, but kind of surreal in my opinion. I can see why the parents would be scared, though.

  52. James Hetfield Dec 29th 2008

  53. So, someone was giving her a noogie?

  54. 3:28 in the morning, Hell yes this is scary. Its about time too I had started to lose hope in this site.

    Imagine a dead girl ragdoll and flailing next to a campfire while her mother screams. Now imagine a huge ghost hand holding her up and shaking her.
    I love it.

  55. Nightmare Fuel Drinker Dec 29th 2008

    Dying dancing’s not a bad way to go… maybe I should die that way instead of dying laughing?

  56. shortys roc my sox Dec 29th 2008

    that is freaken scray it sorta reminds me of the grudge

  57. MooMoon Dec 29th 2008

    lol awesome pasta

  58. So dance, my dears, dance before you take the dark flight down…

  59. Blahblah Dec 29th 2008

    Oh well, she was dying anyway, right?

    Not so creepy.

  60. Bruce Lee Dec 29th 2008

    LMAO @ JAMES HETFIELD

  61. Ghastly White Hand Dec 29th 2008

    I only wanted a little puppet of my own, I didn’t know i’d kill her, Jeez!

  62. Honestly, I couldn’t get Fall Out Boy out of my head when I read the title. But, it was a nice story.

  63. HOLY SHIT. The ending made me almost scream. Its that kind of ending that makes you shit bricks.
    Good pasta.
    BUT I STILL WONDER WHO WAS HAND?

  64. that made me put my hand on my head for the next few seconds after reading the story.

  65. I came

  66. I the whole thing Dec 30th 2008

    So she is dead already and white hand is like “Ooga booga booga mommy!”

    Lol, what a jackass.

  67. Hippie Dec 30th 2008

    I didnt like this one. It seemed to plain and a bit random

  68. Jack the Ripper Dec 31st 2008

    Jack could have done that.

  69. Ching Chang Chong Dec 31st 2008

    WEE WEE

  70. Candlejack Jan 1st 2009

    I bet it was Wayne Brady

  71. Anonymous Jan 3rd 2009

    Am I the only who, after reading the title, immediately thought of Dance Dance Revolution?

  72. Lars Ulrich Jan 4th 2009

    52, that’s totally what I thought of too.

  73. The REAL Lars Ulrich Jan 4th 2009

    52, 71, copyright infringement!
    I’ll see you both in court, mmhmm.

  74. The REAL Lars Ulrich Jan 4th 2009

    Correction.

    @Us / #6
    ROFL, exactly what I was thinking.

    I like this pasta, too bad it’s only 10pm here. D:

  77. that aint really scary if it happens to you or family members.

  78. Someone Jan 6th 2009

    This wasn’t really that great, I think the more entertaining part of it was that you know everybody started singing Fall Out Boy songs right after they read the title

  79. I was.

  80. MASTER OF PUPPETS I’M PULLING YOUR STRINGS
    TWISTING YOUR MIND AND CRUSHING YOUR DREAMS

    Is it bad thats the first thing that popped into my head reading this pasta? In all honesty, it was one of those ending that scares the **** out of you.

    What fall out boy song has anything to do with this, anyway? Not a huge music fan.

  81. @ Anon:

    I think you probably are.

  82. @ Llama

    Fall Out Boy has a song titled “Dance, Dance”

    Dance, Dance
    We’re falling apart to half time
    Dance, Dance
    And these are the lives you’d love to lead
    Dance, this is the way they’d love
    If they knew how misery loved me

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvz0bvYmnto

    So that’s why lots of us started giggling as soon as we read the title, though the Pasta it’s self is pretty scary.

  83. buttpastecockdong Jan 13th 2009

    short and sweet i say. i loved glover.

  84. hahaha Jan 14th 2009

    lmao not creepy scary or anythin lmao i laughed at this the most pathetic “scary” story ive heard oooh i white hand???? lmao hehehehe

  85. @ Dru thanks. I’ve never hear of that song before.

    It was a very creepy pasta.

  86. this had a nice twist to it. kudos

  87. no1no2no3 Jan 15th 2009

    one of the few pastas to make me shiver, well done

  88. BoogeyDown Jan 18th 2009

    I say that it was the Grim Reaper yanking da soul outta from her.

  89. BoogeyDown Jan 18th 2009

    This is the creepiest pasta I’ve read yet, including the one with the man peeking through the keyhole and the one with the eye on the post-it note.

  90. Gentleman Jim Stacey Jan 19th 2009

    A++ would look behind myself again

  91. Holy fuck that’s scary.
    O.O That’s so fucking scary ohmygodd.

  92. Midnightgirl Jan 21st 2009

    Scary but funny.

  93. Dammit, who was the damn hand? Seriously.

    That ruined it for me. There’s no depth. There’s no reason.

    There’s vague, but then there’s leaving out all of the important details.

  94. White Hand's Wife Feb 2nd 2009

    Handsex with little girls again, I’m going to get divorced >:(

  95. apple juice Feb 2nd 2009

    The ending made me jump, although I’d have jumped regardless of what made her dance. Demonic/ghostly possession would have done the same for me, especially if it was caught on camera.

  96. i wanna dance before i die XD

  97. RAWR KTHX Feb 8th 2009

    o dats where dat went. lol.
    sillee hand.

  98. Not scary >_<. Just… weird, I think.

  99. i’m just glad le hand did’nt go further down her body

    !!!WHO WAS MOM!!!

  100. the more I think about it, the more it creeps me out
    loved this one!

  101. I’ve been awake all night reading pastas in complete darkness. Now at 6 A.M. this story had made me turn on the television in fear! Love it.

  102. Sue-Shue Feb 14th 2009

    Wow.. I like this story also.. It is kinda creepy though because you know the girl was possessed or something.. Man, if i had a daughter and she did that… I’ll totally get a shaman person right away… Freaken creepy shit..

    nice pasta short and sassy

    oh and voodoo much?

  105. undeadsolider Mar 2nd 2009

    that was gay but hangon who was hand?

  106. Anonymous Mar 10th 2009

    Pretty common Korean story
    Nice translation

  107. Oh Rin Mar 23rd 2009

    OOOH SHHHHIIII-

    Awesome pasta!

    THEN WHO WAS PUPPET MASTER?

  108. Schteve May 13th 2009

    maybe on her neck would have been better

    idunno

  109. bricks May 14th 2009

    I read this on my iPod, and it just isn’t as scary while I have fall out boy singing dance dance through my head phones. Epic coincidence the song came on when I read this though, my iPod had shuffel playing 900 songs randomly.

  110. Very well written.

    The dancing part made me laugh, but found out what the real reason she danced.

    Only a toy to the hand.

  111. Anonymous Jun 25th 2009

    brix were shat mainly because I started to picture that video in my mind

  112. Meh.

  113. Lady of Desire Aug 5th 2009

    All i could think about was FallOutBoy :[ Killjoy.

  114. Sam and Mel Aug 17th 2009

    Dance, Dance! We’re falling apart to half time~
    8D

    (But then who was hand!?)

  115. PaperPasta Aug 30th 2009

    So…many…things…wrong…with…this… I’m not even sure where to start.

  116. posotive Dec 27th 2009

    it’s not so much the hand that scares me but just the idia of a bad quality shaky video of a girl doing an odd wild dance before dropping dead in some campsite

  117. posotive Dec 27th 2009

    idea*

  118. Jesus Jan 9th 2010

    this fucking suckedd.. fail

  119. This blew, fail

  120. Anonymiss Feb 28th 2010

    Wow, God’s a dick.

  121. Despite the obvious errors in this work, I’m glad that it was posted. I have been methodically working my way through all these stories, ans it is good to see a actual scary one, considering the lack of the aforementioned creepyness.

  122. PastaWhore Apr 27th 2010

    I knew there was going to be some sort of “hand” or something, but I was really hoping for strings like a marionette, you know?
    Would have been cool if the kid was screaming.
    Really scary if she was talking normally while the whole event was going on.

  123. Interferio May 23rd 2010

    Creepy as heck. I enjoy pasta where the true creepy part is only discovered after the event, adds extra chilling effect somehow… And this was very well-executed. BUT WHO WAS HAND?

  124. Flash37 Jun 24th 2010

    Omigawsh.

    I read this Pokemon conspiracy story recently- Blahblahblah, Lavender Town’s music is ebil, deathdeathghost, dead people communicating in the first patch of grass in the game- And… There’s this sprite, that nobody has discovered, but apparently, it’s a dead, rotting white hand with flesh peeling away from it.

    I wtf’d and I think my case of the shivers increased slightly.

    10/10

    I got friggin goose bumps XD

  128. Pepe le Peu Aug 19th 2010

    DANCE PUPPET GIRL DANCE!

  129. Dalton Jun 9th 2011

    All I can think is that she’s just doing the “Get Down” dance.

    C’mon, think about it!
