Don’t Open Your Eyes
On the last day of every month, close the blinds or curtains before you sleep. If in the middle of the night, you hear a tapping noise at your window, don’t open your eyes.
If you’re one of the unlucky ones, you’ll hear that pebble sound at your window. It’s not a friend; just keep your eyes shut. The sound will get louder, the tapping will get faster and faster. Don’t let your curiosity get the better of you; don’t move. It’ll lose its patience, it’ll start thumping the window. Your window will shake and shudder and the noises will only get louder. It will furiously pound the window and shake the panes; don’t worry, the window won’t break but for goodness’ sake, DON’T OPEN YOUR EYES. No matter how scared you are, no matter how badly you want to scream, pretend like you don’t hear, pretend you’re still asleep.
After a while, the noises will stop. Don’t fall for it, keep your eyes shut. Try to sleep if you can. Don’t get up, don’t open your eyes, until the sun comes up.
Those who do open their eyes…well, no one really knows what happens.

GET OUT OF MY FEARS.
OUT, NOW. D:
This reminds of a dream I had, only in the dream I opened my eyes to look and the window did end up breaking.
September 14th, 2008 at 11:53 am
Don’t open your eyes, it’s in your room.
September 14th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
would’ve been much more creepy with a better ending.
September 14th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
… I opened them and THAT’S how I got 2D… FIX IT NAO.
September 14th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
how do you know when its sunrise if you cant open your eyes
and………….Who Was Window?
September 14th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
Hello.
I disagree.
Open your eyes.
Sate your curiosity.
To ignore such a raucous beckoning of the unknown will result in a maddening plague of fruitless questions until the end of your days.
Sate your curiosity.
Open your eyes.
September 14th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
if no one really knows what happens then how do we even know that it would be that bad to do it. o,o
September 14th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
btw BUT WHO WAS WINDOW??!?
September 14th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
i’m gonna make my friends read it and pull a prank on them.
just to be a jerk. lol.(:
September 14th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
As always - where’s the incentive to do this to begin with? I’m not going to attempt some supernatural ritual just because it says so in a pasta. Needs moar reasons to do so, thnx.
September 14th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
then WHO WAS BEING?
lol i just had to do it. sorry.
But in the entry it sez “If your one of the unlucky ones you’ll hear that pebble sound at your window” Does that mean if your lucky you’ll hear a brick?
September 14th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
Man this kind of stuff has happened to me before, only not at the end of every month.
September 14th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
Baaah.
I have my blinds shut all of the time :/
But yes, if this happened to me, I’d be hiding under the covers until dawn >.>
September 14th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Lain, I think this is more of a warning than a “go do this” pasta; it’s only in rites & rituals because I wasn’t sure where else it would fit.
The pasta is operating under the assumption that this MIGHT happen to you, out of the blue, and it’s telling you how to survive.
Get it now?
September 14th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
this reminds me of a prank i pulled on two of my friends i went outside to “take out the trash” and ran around all the sides of the house and slammed my hands on the windows then (on of the windows had the blinds open cause they opened it so they could see) so i climbed under it and jumped up they both screamed and the funny thing is that they were holding my step-dads golf clubs
they still have not gotten me back because im a master at pulling pranks 
September 14th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
It is not just the last day of each month. It can happen at any time.
Do not listen to Welldone. He only means to lead you astray.
September 14th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
I say, open your eyes, maybe it’s someone trying to give you candy. ^_^
Besides Like Ma Cherie said, i always have my blinds drawn, plush I have one of those bright-ass LED flashlights, shine that in someone/things eyes and watch them cry out in pain.
September 14th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
But what if the tapping ends up being a tree branch and the pebble you hear is your friend trying to warn you about the zombie invasion that is taking place?
September 14th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
It says to pretend I’m still asleep, but the emphasis is really on the ‘don’t open your eyes’ part. What if I COVER my eyes but I keep them open underneath my palms? Will it know? Or what if I hide my head under the covers? ‘cuz I dunno about the rest of you, but when I wake up, I immediately open my eyes, no matter what.
-obnoxious loophole questions-
September 14th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
Wow. I really liked this one. Got me spooked
Thanks, I can always gurantee that creepypasta will leave me with sleepless nights XD.
September 14th, 2008 at 11:36 pm
*blink*
For some reason, this reads a bit like poetry to me (maybe it’s because I’ve spent the past half hour scanning poems…). Well, except for the ending. It sort of breaks the flow.
Either way, this is creepy.
September 14th, 2008 at 11:36 pm
i enjoyed this one. very creepy…
its happened to me…
September 15th, 2008 at 12:57 am
“if no one really knows what happens then how do we even know that it would be that bad to do it. o,o”
If you look, your body is undoubtably found dead in the morning. So…I guess then you will know
September 15th, 2008 at 8:56 am
I wonder if i could just get up with my eyes closed and open the window, and be all liek, hai guys!
and you know, just play football with monsters with my eyes closed or something.
September 15th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
Don’t open your eyes it is Michael Jackson looking for pray mwuahhaa
September 15th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Hello, WHO WAS PHONE.
Lain, like so many others, simply wishes any action to immediately benefit him or herself. Such is the way of humanity.
Few can grasp that the cosmos care not at all for what benefits something so transient as a human life, and if the cosmos have a way of expressing “care,” it is not by a definition humanity is familiar with.
I do so love to witness the dawning realization crawl upon one’s face of this fascinating aspect of the universe. It is finer than the most aged and prestigious of wines.
September 15th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
No offense, but i don’t see the point of these ones where it tells you to do something but then doesn’t give you anything in return. like waiting till the sun rises. What do you get out of it?
September 15th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
D:
This pasta made me nervous.
September 15th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
unlucky ones hear pebbles?
why would that be unlucky, does that mean that it’ll last longer?
and what do lucky ones get?…just fingers?
the thought i suppose is creepy, but i’d probably think it was a burglar, pull out a baseball bat open my eyes and run to the phone to call the cops.
i’d like to know what the consequence would be, but i suppose this was all right.
September 15th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
i don’t sleep anywhere by a window
September 16th, 2008 at 1:25 am
Should have waited until the end of the month for this one.
September 16th, 2008 at 7:06 am
No, I suck cocks.
September 16th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
I’ve done this one before, and sure enough there was a nasty racket at my window.I did open my eyes, and there was a horrifying creature lurking and leering for my attention outside the window. I screamed and fled my room and everything.
My brother later told me that he didn’t think he looks bad enough to make me scream like that.
September 17th, 2008 at 5:36 am
The most awful thing about this, was that after I read it, I went to sleep with the mentality that I should not open my eyes during the night. Later when I was fast asleep I heard a really loud crash that scared the shit out of me and I opened my eyes. I was like “OHFUCK” and kept my eyes shut tight until I turned my lamp on. It was a haunted nightlight that somehow was in my room -I don’t use it at all lol- and it was making this really wierd clicking sound. I threw it away that day.
September 17th, 2008 at 10:16 am
ok my blinds are closed all the time so what if i open them on the last day of the month.
why do you have to close your blinds any way, is it so that the person/thing can’t get in so if i open my window i’m dead meat…?
COOL!
September 17th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Fuck you Mr. Welldone… people post these stories for people to read them and go wow that would be scary. Not go, oh hey im Mr. Welldone and i suck dick and have to say stupid shit on every single story that gets posted
September 17th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
Dammit welldone stop posting on this site and help me find my golfing clubs.
September 17th, 2008 at 6:36 pm

September 17th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
I think the “unlucky ones” bit is meant more like, if you are unlucky, all this crazy shit will begin to occur unto you. Also, this is clearly not a “go do this” pasta, it’s an “if this shit goes down, here’s how to be ready” pasta.
Also, I know exactly what anon means by poetic. The writing definitely has a kind of rhythmic feel to it.
September 21st, 2008 at 7:03 am
I like this pasta, actually. If this happened to me I would be shitting brix and I would find it really, really hard not to open my eyes. This is a genuinely difficult task.
September 24th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
*whimper and hides under desk* That happened to me last night! T_T
September 24th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
The end was sort of weak.
September 26th, 2008 at 11:03 am
Disregard that, I like the penis.
September 27th, 2008 at 5:03 am
@27
You keep your life. Isn’t that good enough?
–
Yeah, the end was pretty weak, but the rest scares me. I mean, what if it really is just your boyfriend/friend? They’d think you were blowing them off.
September 28th, 2008 at 8:45 am
I think I can understand why some people are interpreting this as a “go do this” pasta - because of the instruction to close your blinds. I assume that you do that to prevent the monster from getting in incase it decides to target you. And I assume that if you’re not an “unlucky one” the monster merely taps on your window and then decides “Fuck it, I’ll try someone else.” Whereas an unlucky one has a monster tap on his window and then persist by chucking pebbles and thumping the shit out of your window.
This scares the crap out of me because due to the way my house is positioned the wind often hits my window with force, making a tapping and occasionally thumping sound, and I always shit bricks. Now, whenever that happens I’ll shit more fucking bricks than fucking ever.
Fucking creepypasta.
September 29th, 2008 at 12:58 am
Two days until the last day of the month~ oh I cannot wait! xD
September 29th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
i can’t wait to try this but if someone really taps on my window i’m gonna be out of my room faster than a cheetah can pounce on its prey
September 29th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
i am so locking my windows
September 30th, 2008 at 10:01 am
BUT WHO WAS WINDOW-BANGER
September 30th, 2008 at 10:09 am
Haha, I just realised, it’s not the last day of September (for me) anymore, it just became the first day of October and I haven’t gone to sleep yet. SUCK SHIT WINDOW-BANGER! Guess you wont be tapping my window and eating my soul tonight, eh?
October 1st, 2008 at 6:34 pm

October 4th, 2008 at 4:56 pm

October 11th, 2008 at 10:17 am
To the comment above mine.. “What the Hell?”
Anyway
I actually thought it was a pretty decent story.
Though before reading this, the only thing I feared at the end of the month was my sister’s getting their periods…
October 19th, 2008 at 2:21 am
“Stigma
September 14th, 2008 at 11:53 am
Don’t open your eyes, it’s in your room.”
Comment scarier than overall pasta. Still, though, this one is pretty good.
80% of the wall space in my old house was window, it was pretty damn freaky at night. Like sleeping outside.

October 19th, 2008 at 1:02 pm
If you don’t see it, I guess you haven’t technically been rickrolled
October 19th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
but… what if your awake when it starts tapping??
October 19th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
i didn’t mean to send the 2nd one

October 20th, 2008 at 6:31 am
This happened to me once in the middle of a thunder storm, I don’t really know what was causing the noises I’d assume the thunder but there was like tapping coming directly from my walls…
All windows were closed and theres no trees, probably just thunder rattling the house but still… No my eyes stayed closed, I thre
October 20th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
@ the grinch
well i guess your screwed then sorry
October 26th, 2008 at 8:18 pm
Forget that, if I have to get up in the middle of the night to go pee, I will.
October 31st, 2008 at 1:40 pm
FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU- D8
November 1st, 2008 at 9:55 pm
i agree with comment #55 (and #56…)
if the last sentence in this pasta were replaced with that comment, it would become 100 percent better
November 7th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
If this happened to me, I’d probably reach under my bed, grab my 12 gauge shotgun and shoot the f*cker who was tapping on my window, especially if it’s after midnight…
November 8th, 2008 at 6:48 am
LOL’ed at comments.
Maybe it’s pedobear D=
November 13th, 2008 at 2:04 am
Needz moarh scarier endingggg! But otherwise, it’s vey tasty pasta.
November 15th, 2008 at 2:08 am
you know, us furries do get rather hungry. please open your eyes.
November 19th, 2008 at 2:17 am
THEN WHO WAS WINDOW??!?!?!?!
November 20th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
