I’m Sure The Wake Will Be Nice
If traveling through the tip of the thumb of Michigan on a night with a full moon, stop at McGraw County Park. The gate will be closed but you can park in front of it. Bring a set of black clothes and change in the change rooms.
When you come out, there will be an old man with olive colored skin and curly dark brown hair and a mustache selling hot dogs in a cart. If you order one, the man will thank you for your patronage and apologize for your loss saying “I’m sure the wake will be nice.” One of your relatives - not necessarily someone close but still someone you know - will have been murdered that night.
Be sure to change back into your other set of clothes, because if you drive away while still dressed in the black clothes you’ll be pulled over by state police and arrested for the murder of your family member and the clothes will be covered in their blood.

I didn’t really like this one. Not sure why. Meh. =/ These ones where you’re supposed to go somewhere completely random just to find out you/someone you know/someone you don’t know is going to die/marry you/etc just erk me. They get on my nerves >_< Why go through any of that just to have a family member be murdered? FAIL
August 26th, 2008 at 4:23 am
What’s the point of that? Lucky draw if you hate a relative?
August 26th, 2008 at 4:25 am
WoW! I’d totally do this!
Seriously, why the fuck would you do this?
August 26th, 2008 at 4:56 am
Besides the obvious(why?), how’d the police find out you were the killer? Who told em’?
August 26th, 2008 at 5:29 am
anon, i see two possibilites:
1. by virtue of the ritual the information will find its way the police because you didn’t follow instructions to the letter - hence the blood staining your clothes. the tipoff would probably come from the hotdog vender
2. people have been doing this for a long time and the police have learned to watch for people dressed in black driving away from the park

remind me not to do this.
August 26th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
meh this ones ok but i have nobody i want dead ……..woe is me *sob*
August 26th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Depending on what relatives of yours are still alive when you do this, you could set it up to get an inheritance.
Would probobly require you to kill some of your other relatives, but meh.

August 26th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
I hate these ones. e____e Seriously. Why the hell would you do it in the first place?
Also, ‘the tip of the thumb of Michigan’? What the fuck?
August 26th, 2008 at 1:23 pm

HOTDOG MAN KILLED MY FAMILY
August 26th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
Thumb = Upper Peninsula, I think.
The UP is a pretty scary place.
BTW, I won’t try doing this, unless I get to pick the relative…
August 26th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
fail story is fail

http://www.infomi.com/michigan.gif See how Michigan kind of looks like a hand? It’s the area on the right, Huron
August 26th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
eh
too much like many copypastas i have seen before.
they really have to stop the whole “if you go into a [insert random place here]…”
August 26th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
http://www.infomi.com/michigan.gif See how Michigan looks somewhat like a hand, the area on the right would be the thumb, Huron county

But, WHO WAS HOTDOG KILLER??!!
What if some random person didnt intentionally mean top kill his family? Say a guy in a black Tshirt and black pants takes off his blue weater because its a nice night. He nonchalantly buys a hot dog and gives the seller a strange look, but otherwise doesnt feel out of the odinary.
Before leaving it gets chilly, so he puts his blue sweater back on, and goes home and finds his family dead.
That aint’ right!
August 26th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
I tried this and none of my relatives died. The hot dog tasted horrible, too.
August 26th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
I thought this was bobbins, and then I read the comments. It remided me of Chekov. Thanks for helping Crabbattle and Darkest.
August 26th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
it better be one hell of a hot dog.
August 26th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
if only i could pick someone other than a relitive.
August 26th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Too short, not enough explanation (and not in the good way), and pretty pointless : /
August 26th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
If I could pick the relative, I might be interested. >.>
August 26th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
Kill a relative?
Have to eat a hot dog that I bought from an old man in front of a dark, creepy park?
Risk imprisonment for life?
Well, I’m off!

It exists?!
SOMEONE GO TRY IT.
August 26th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Lol guys, the blood on your clothes is just ketchup that fell off of me.
August 26th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
Not too fond of creepypastas like this.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:37 pm
All this for a hot dog?
This better be a fucking AMAZING hot dog.
August 26th, 2008 at 11:10 pm
I guess if you really want a hotdog at midnight…
August 26th, 2008 at 11:42 pm
Pointless thing to do/10
August 27th, 2008 at 12:21 am
Wow. This is… ridiculous. Why would one do this at random?
Maybe if you hated all your family.
That’d be nifty.
August 27th, 2008 at 12:25 am
Ok guys a couple things. Firsst, I don’t make the rules. Second, if I didn’t get all thos people to kill all those other people where would I get the meat for my hotdogs?
Besides, who dosen’t like a good wake?
August 27th, 2008 at 12:26 am
I don’t eat meat…..
August 27th, 2008 at 12:40 am
then WHO WAS VENDOR?!
August 27th, 2008 at 11:09 am
If you have to drive out to some county park just to get a hot dog then you must really be desperate for one. O_O
Not to mention all the parts about bringing a black set of clothes and stuff.
August 27th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
what if i felt self-conscious about changing in a haunted changing room where some weird old hot dog vendor wants to kill my relatives, meaning he knows my relatives, meaning he’s watching me change?
August 27th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
@ 11 and 13:
The thumb of Michigan refers to a point on the lower peninsula, because it’s considered to be shaped like a mitten. It’s on the west coast. Look at a map of the lower peninsula and it should make sense.
August 27th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
that better the best fucking hot dog now that i think about it ….it bettter have every thing (nothing hot though ) and i better be able to get my favorite drink too and a cookie >:(
August 27th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
couldn’t i just go to their house and stab them or something?
srsly.
August 27th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
The hot dog vendor had better sprinkle cocaine on the hot dog first.
August 27th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Why is there always some dude from the story that comments? D:
August 28th, 2008 at 8:07 am
I’ll throw in my 2 cents and guess that the hot dog is made out some of the newly deceased relative. I don’t mind me some random place/time/procedure creepypasta (but then, I like some of the Holders too, so I guess I’m just easily amused)…but either when it’s written as a dire warning if it’s a bad one, or there’s a potential benefit for all the risk. This isn’t really either.
August 28th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
@ 42: Cause you guys think I’m a bad person.
@ 43: Hit the nail on the head.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Yeah, I’m usually made of the liver, with occasional kidney and gall bladder for kicks.
September 2nd, 2008 at 7:31 am
i totally live in the thumb.
harbor beach, michigan.
September 8th, 2008 at 2:30 am
no sense at all. this was such a stupid pasta, i’d have to beat OP to a pulp in real life
September 17th, 2008 at 10:02 am
i want to try a liver hot dog it sounds good…
*barf*
September 23rd, 2008 at 8:17 pm
What does he mean by “I’m sure the wake will be nice”?
October 8th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
I would do it and be all like “OOOHHH, forgot my cash my friend. Sorry.” Then walk off, hopefully not getting a axe in the back of the head.
October 22nd, 2008 at 7:34 pm
anyone have any idea WHY the vendor said “I’m sure the wake will be nice.”? That’s the only part that’s really driving me crazy, coz I can’t figure it out at all.
But yeah, otherwise hate it. It makes no sense at all, even for a creepypasta. Seriously, people need to realize there’s a difference between being mysterious and bad storytelling.
November 1st, 2008 at 4:17 pm
@51- What comes after a funeral, you moron?
November 1st, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Sorry, *before a funeral.
November 11th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
BUT WHO WAS WAKE?
November 20th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
um, who would do this unless they had crappy stepparents also “because if you drive away while still dressed in the black clothes you’ll be pulled over by state police and arrested for the murder of your family member and the clothes will be covered in their blood.” what a run-on sentence. and and and etc. but WHO WAS HOTDOG?
