Focus

Did you ever see one of those videos where you are asked to look for, or follow a specific thing through out the video? Then, at the end, they reveal that as were watching, something large and intrusive moved around in plain sight and you never even noticed it. Its frightening how often that happens, like how I just moved from the doorway into your room as you read this.

    Auurgh…
    Good thing I’m not in my room right now… But then again, now I’ll be to freaked out to open my door…

    haha nice and short and creepy. I like it!

  3. Anonymous Apr 22nd 2009

    I AM RIGHT BEHIND YOU AND IT IS CREEPY. BEWARE.

  4. Candleja? Apr 22nd 2009

    Okay, I really liked this. REALLY liked it. Short, sweet, and creepy. You kind of get a feel of where it’s going halfway through, but you’re reading too fast to think your hypothesis through and you’ve read the ending and are freaked out before you can prepare yourself for it.

    OMNOMNOM DELICIOUS.

  5. Snipergirl Apr 22nd 2009

    Eh. Okay.

  6. Mother fucker. I was reading this, waiting for something lame to happen, but nope, you decided to make me shit brix. Cool story bro.

  7. Anonymous Apr 22nd 2009

    FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

  8. That’s cool.

  9. I can’t say I’ve experienced that

  10. Moarrr Apr 22nd 2009

    OH SHI-

    Too bad im not in my room though bitch ;)

    My brother is behind me on his bed so I won’t be fooled!

    Help…

  16. Unicorns Apr 22nd 2009

    Are you my cat?
    Because he just did that.

  17. This was awesome…even though I am in plain view of my door right now. Still, it could be a ghosty and things! Haha.

  18. Aguythathatesrap Apr 22nd 2009

    SHIT

  19. FadedSoul13 Apr 22nd 2009

    Well if your in my room why don’t I get you something to drink, a host does have to be kind to their guest?

    Other then that great pasta :D

  20. Glad to see moar real creepypastas. Win.

  21. Hala Wackbar Apr 22nd 2009

    yes but did you see the moonwalking bear?

  22. Azriel Apr 22nd 2009

    Even if I was in my room, this is so far from believable for me that it would never scare me. Maybe I’ve just been reading so many pastas that I am scare-proof now.

  23. Simsimsim Apr 22nd 2009

    This actually really creeped me out.
    Mainly because earlier today, I was at a lecture about attention and focus and we watched one of those videos. Then I get home and read this. Oh poo, they’re watching me.

  24. Would have been scarier if I wasn’t on a computer at my school. :\

  25. Tezmara Apr 22nd 2009

    This is an amazing story, especially because I’ve seen videos like that (e.g. moonwalking bear) and as any slightly-paranoid creepypasta reader, I always seem to see things at the corners of my eyes after reading things like this (drives my friends crazy)

    Thank you

  26. Awesome.

    I’m not in my room right now, so fah. But still gave me the chills.

  27. Sooooo….. Whatcha’ doin’ in my room…while I’m at school…? LOL

  28. BUT WHO WAS SPECIFIC THING??

  29. ben dover Apr 22nd 2009

    I’m in town using the internet on my phone

  30. Anonymous Apr 22nd 2009

    I believe this would have been creepier had I not been in the computer lab with people talking around me as I read it. Nice story though.

  31. Anonymous Apr 22nd 2009

    hm, a shiver down my spine. Too bad I’m not in my room right now, and I can see all the doors in perfect view.

  32. ooo my door is closed and im facing it. i think i would have noticed. soooo not so creepy right now. but! great way of trying to get there, seriously. good good.

  33. Smiles Apr 22nd 2009

    D: I kind of just started yelling at the end.

    Sorry. I’m laying on my bed and my door is in plain sight in front of me….

  36. Cthulhu Apr 22nd 2009

    oh my goooooooooooooood

  37. Cupcake Apr 22nd 2009

    it was eh

  38. Kaerth Apr 22nd 2009

    This is great. You walked into my room, I`m in the bathroom. I shat bricks, I`m on the shitcan! Are you gonna hand me a Pepsi Throwback when I get thirsty too? (Please? I`m too poor to buy one.)

  39. That was pretty good. Especially since I’m always seeing weird things out of the corner of my eye and my back is to the door. 0.0

  40. Great idea for a pasta, but not the best ending

  41. Shuleeps Apr 22nd 2009

    Haha it was alright, made me laugh for some reason (:
    Woulda been better if I actually had been in my room though.

  42. Hehe, I see wut u did there.

  43. OMNOMNOM!!!
    Deelishus pasta!!!

  44. OAIEBH Apr 22nd 2009

    Joke’s on you; I’m outside ;D

  45. Anmeya Apr 22nd 2009

    My wife walked in just as I finished reading this and scared the shit out of me…Very good pasta!

  46. pastalover Apr 22nd 2009

    you know what’s MAD SPOOKY? As I was reading this I’m sitting in my dark room and out of the corner of my eye in front of my door I sensed movement. It was nothing btw, but that was creepy, it’s like the story was talking about my visual hallucination! bricks were shat.

  47. Dirjel Apr 23rd 2009

    HAHAHAi’mtinglynow.

  48. nc)slayme Apr 23rd 2009

    i probably would have liked this pasta… the problem being is that the only time iv seen a video like that was on the jewtube and every time they have one of those its already designed to scare you (constant fail to anyone that watched the first grudge)

  49. Thing In The Drain Apr 23rd 2009

    Goooood pasta. Short and sweet. Totally true, too. One of the scariest - true - theories I’ve ever heard, honestly. First heard it in Legend of Hell House - old, but pretty good horror -.

    Focus your attention on something, and someone could move right amonst you…and you would never know.

  50. adfsdf Apr 23rd 2009

    this one sent a shiver down my spine until i turned around and stephen colbert was on my tv

    oh, colbert, your visage never ceases to comfort me

  51. Shuriken Apr 23rd 2009

    That hardcore made my insides flip.

  52. Anonymous Apr 23rd 2009

    Wasn’t all that creepy. :/ At least you got straight to the point and didn’t make some huge story about nothing, and lead all the way up to this. Most of the crap on this website would be ten times better if they did this.

  53. Look, I’m not saying I can do better, but I didn’t find it that creepy.

  54. MetalGearBidoof Apr 23rd 2009

    This would probably work better if I was in a room.

  55. Anonymous Apr 23rd 2009

    “they reveal that as were watching”

    Fuck… fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
    No, seriously… I’m scared shitless.

  57. Daaaamn, that was good. O_O

  58. FGSFDS Apr 23rd 2009

    brix were shat.

  59. I actually liked this. You’re just reading too fast, thinking, “What the hell lame story is this bitch gonna try to pull?”, and since you aren’t really thinking about it, you get to the end before your brain fully gets it, and when it does a few miliseconds later, it’s like “OSHIT”

    I liek.

  60. Beau Manon Apr 23rd 2009

    Decent.

    So you teleported from my living room doorway into my room? That /is/ frightening. But I jest, Author. You must be tired of smart-aleck remarks by now, eh?

  61. Really well done, didn’t affect me though, because I’m laying down, facing the doorway.

  62. MissEventide Apr 24th 2009

    Oh my god, my heart just jumped into my throat as I read that. Well done!

  63. If it went into a little more detail about those shows before revealing that they were coming into my room, brix might’ve been shat.

  64. It's a Secret Apr 24th 2009

    Whut…

  65. FFFFFUUUU

    okay, yes, finally a pasta that freaked me out.

  66. Spartan Apr 25th 2009

    LOOK AT ME I HAVE A FUCKING SPEAR!

  67. Stranger Apr 25th 2009

    Please tell me I’m not the only one that jumped and looked round like ‘SHIIIIT’

    COOL STORY BRO.

  68. All the people that say they’re facing their doors… That’s the point, you didn’t even notice the door opening and some one coming in because your focused on something else.

    gotta say, this one just didn’t do anything for me.
    it was far too vague.
    the narrator could be a giant pink fuzzy bear for all i know.
    i’d just adore that entering my room and surprising me.
    :D

  75. Anonymous Apr 29th 2009

    motherfucker ‘m in a darkened room with the only way in happinging to be at the coner of my sight line, needless to say brix where shat

  76. Creepy, but too bad I’m at school reading this.

    I’d probably get chills If I read this at home in the middle of the night.

  77. WHARRGARBL Apr 30th 2009

    Nice one :D

  80. OMGWHAT May 2nd 2009

    Doesn’t affect me since I can see my door without shifting my eyes from my computer.

    But, I’m right by my door.
    I’d feel you.
    Besides. It’s day.

    This would be scary at night, if I didn’t share my room with my sister, and if I wasn’t. Right by my door.

  83. I’ve never watched a video like that but scary anyway.

    Geez, this scared the crap out of me. I’m at my grandfather’s, sitting in the living room (which has not only two entrances, but also glass french doors leading to the back yard), and this house is huge, and I’m home alone. Ahh. My tummy hurts now. D:

  91. i grave dig-it.
    yummy pasta

  92. Anonymous May 18th 2009

    Woah my door is slightly ajar…I had thought I’d shut it…I had thought I’d be able to notice anything that moves in and out due to it being just 2 yards away from me…

  93. Repoman May 18th 2009

    Nice one!

    4 out of 5 twists of the Parmesan Cheese Grinder!

    Would have gotten 5 twists but it was a bit stilted in writing style and had typos and missing words that are inexcusable in such a small serving of pasta.

  94. Heather May 21st 2009

  95. Anonymous May 24th 2009

    but then WHO WAS MOVING

  96. ….I don’t even know what the hell kind of video they’re talking about. Plus, my dad is dancing around singing Ugly Kid Joe while I read this, so any possible creepy man/girl/shit/thaaang probably ran for its life about ten seconds ago.

  97. No name. May 25th 2009

    Haha, I actully looked. I’m such a freaking loser, lol.

  98. some t.v.’s on in another room, i look around and see oprah.
    my worst fears are officially confirmed.

    but really, that freaked me out. D: i’m going into a well-lit room now.

  99. Doghead May 27th 2009

    This one actually made me laugh. Depending on what the author was going for, not necessarily a good thing.

  100. Rosstopher May 29th 2009

    Holy shit.
    The cat was in my room, and when I got to the end of the pasta, she started to move.
    I shat bricks.

    “All the people that say they’re facing their doors… That’s the point, you didn’t even notice the door opening and some one coming in because your focused on something else.”

    It doesn’t make it any better, if, like me, you have your bedroom door behind you so that you can see the reflection of it on the screen, thanks to black creepypasta.com outlook. It really doesn’t.

  111. 2 flaws for me when I read that:

    1) I had full view of my closed door the whole time I was reading it
    2) My back was against the wall so you wouldn’t have been able to get behind me

    Very nice. Short and got right to the point.

    As for all the comments that said, “Well, i’m not in my room” or “My door was closed”, it doesn’t make this pasta any less awesome than it is. You just have to appreciate the idea behind it.
