A few months ago a friend of mine, who is an up-and-coming nature photographer, decided to spend a day and night alone in the woods outside of our town. She wanted to get photos of the woods and wildlife as naturally as she could for her portfolio. She wasn’t afraid of being alone, as she had camped by herself many times before. She set up a tent in the middle of a small clearing and spent the day taking pictures. She filled up four rolls of film on that trip, but something was strange about them. What she saw in those pictures has stayed with her ever since, and she is still trying to recover from the trauma the have caused her.
Almost every picture was accounted for, save for one picture in each roll of film. These pictures were of her, asleep in her tent in the middle of the night.

I like camping
But wait… who was the tent?
thats a nice short story
So good
What is this whole “WHO WAS _____” blahdy blah?
I didn’t really find this creepy or scary but i liked the story line for it. It reminds me of a story i read with the guy recording himself when he was sleeping and a next one with this guy keeps getting tapes with his house and every new tape it gets closer XD. Anyway nice lay out but yet again not creepy/scary
That’s totally creepy @_@~
Then WHO WAS THE TENT?
I was the night photographer.
As a photographer the creepy level is even higher. One knowing someone else touched your camera. Two your alone in the bloody woods and someone is taking pictures of you while you sleep….
Dat pasta.
Well that was creepy
Who still uses film?
Definitely needs to be longer and more atmospheric, good concept, reasonably done, but deserves a longer, more detailed story to really wear its potential properly! It’s a wonderful concept, that, whilst a little cliche, can make some amazing pasta, but this left me feeling like I had read a synopsis rather than the story D:
Slenderman was photo.
that one sent a chill down my spine
THEN WHO WAS TENT?
PaperPasta, perhaps you aren’t the average person?
This is scary stuff,I found a pic of me asleep on my cell phone,I was living alone at the time and my dog is asleep next to me so it couldnt have been a person that took it or she would have went off.When I blew the pic up on a computer there is a demon face in the pic and one of my eyes is being pulled open at a wierd angle and its rolled up in my head.This is no BS I still have it saved on my phone.
<3 this pasta. Short and sinisterly sweet enough it almost sends shivers up my spine. Conveys a hundred times more creepy in two paragraphs than many pastas do in many pages.
BUT WHO WAS PICTURE?
I like ones like this, short and sweet.
Not tl;dr and dull.
If some freak-o took pictures of you while you were sleeping, would you really suffer trauma for it for the rest of your life – especially considering he/she didn’t do anything to you? Well, I guess everyone is different but the thing with writing these stories is to take the average person into account (unless your story was specifically going the other direction which it wasn’t).
Very nicely done. Got shivers down my spine from it.
PWNED, some night photographer teabagged her and took pictures
does any one no the number
make a movi
Ahh… This one is good. Made me shudder, that’s for sure…
Wow… Those must have been some seriously slow shutter speeds…
HAWT
BUT WHO WAS TENT??
The fact that she didn’t get raped make this story 10 times creepier.
Well, she didn’t get raped or killed. She should stop complaining.
Yes, she is so cute when she sleeps….
It’s been a while since creepypasta actually gave me chills. Good job.
normaly i’d say she’s sexy but this was actualy really scary…most probably because it’s actualy quite believable
edit: and maybe squeezed a boob if she was a sound sleeper.
pft. i would have just stolen the camera.
Probabaly some hobo that cant work a camera
Oh no the trauma ‘The’ have caused her!
Damn the The!
I heard a story like this before. This still gave me chills though. D:
@ squirrle
omk lol so it was you not some scary monster maybe i should go tell my dad that i don’t mind campong this weekend thanx for explaining the situation :)
Wat wat WAT??? I don’t get it.
IM SORRY- I FOUND THIS MECHANISM IN THE WOODS AND WAS FLASHING IT AEROUND EVERYWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NITE.
HOPE IT DIDNT SCARE EANYONE.
See, if they did this in Blair Witch, it wouldn’t have been such a big waste of time.
What have we learned? Don’t be a nature photographer!
@ Syrange: Leave shortys roc my sox alone.
@82 Eh, it seemed like it, since usually you either miss the point of the story or try to make some fun at it in the comments…I perceived your little foray into attempted creepiness to be emulative of welldone.
:D
That one really creeped me out…
@ 80
sorry bout the spelling i suck at spelling and i wasn’t tryin to be mr welldone
I think this pasta is very good, creepy and well-written. I actually have had this idea for a story before, but it was put away with many other ideas that I wasn’t writing at that moment, and was forgotten about. If this happened to me, I’d be creeped out, and if I ever found out what did it I’d call it a perve and, depending on what it is, run for my life. ^_^
@77
You can’t try to be Mr. Welldone unless what you have to say is relevent, spelled correctly, and actually creepier than pre-teen campfire stories.
Lmao so she was photographed in the night by some pervet….good pasta though xD
@77
….uhh….okay.
strange things lurk in the woods. things noone can explain. things beyond any nightmare you’ve ever had.
thay creep around late at night. they move swiftly but silently. all you would hear if any thing is a slight rustle of leaves. you try and make your self belive its just the wind. But in side you know someone (or SOMETHING) is following you.
I bet she would’ve gladly removed her bra for the stalker.
Hey she looked so peaceful sleeping there.
This one definitely scared me. D= I don’t want to turn around now.
maybe the camera was like weird and she left it on and it took photos of her LOL? pervy cameraaaa.
Kinda scary :\ maybe another phtographer camping right next too her wanted too say hi and found her so hot he took pictures?
@67 Oooooooh, I misread it. Mildly good pasta then.
Thanks for all the nice comments, guys. I didn’t come up with this idea, but I paraphrased it from what I remembered since I couldn’t find the original.
I like this. First creepypasta since the red-eyes-keyhole one to genuinely creep me out. (Like other people have said, this is creepier than La Nuit because La Nuit just made me think ‘well, he sleepwalks. so?’.)
WHO WAS CAMERA?!
@ Hops Diggins
don’t b dising jack just cuase he’s had more dates then you
@66: No, no, the pictures of her sleeping weren’t missing. When it says “accounted for” it means that those pictures were the ones she took. Therefore, the unaccounted for pictures weren’t taken by her.
..Granted, the author probably could’ve used better wording than “accounted for” as that’s causing confusion for a lot of people.
@56 But if she never took the picture, how does she know it was missing?
I liked this one better than the recording artist one. La Nuit could be explained away as sleep walking or something, but this one is air tight.
it was jack skellington on his way to the tree. he decided to take a few photos.
THEN WHO WAS PERVERTED PICTURE TAKER?
Seriouly, this is a bit scarier than La Nuit
i liked this one, it was a good read it wasn’t until after i realized it didn’t make sense because no one leaves one extra picture on each roll of film they shoot, but where it says
“Almost every picture was accounted for” gets me… either this is a plot hole or its implying that something CHANGED the pictures? my first impression was someone sneaking in and taking pictures but im not sure very creepy good pasta =) it makes you think.
If she was, she better find out if she’s knocked up.
was she hawt?
BUT WHO WAS WOODS?
Little creepy, but not really scary.
WHO WAS FILM?
…strange, ignore the top part of my previous comment.
It appears the comment by some “xanthenian” guy disappeared o.O
@55: That’s the creepy part. She couldn’t have, meaning someone else (or someTHING else) did.
I like it. Short, but spooky.
Wait, wait, wait. How was she taking pictures of herself while she was asleep.
Good, but I preferred La Nuit.
Bro im scared D:
When I went to a family reunion I took pictures of my mom sleeping.
I lol’d at comment 46.
i’ve always loved this one
hey!
you stole my name
BUT WHO WAS PHOTOGRAPHER?
I like this one :)
Partially because I’m a photographer, myself. Or at least I’m trying to be.
I dislike this comment, partially because I’m a dick, myself. Or at least I’m trying to be.
BUT WHO WAS PHOTOGRAPHER?
Seriously, though. That was pretty freggin’ scary. Nice job.
Bigfoot will take a picture of you long before you will ever take a picture of bigfoot.
Alright, it was me, I’ll admit it.
A bit of Timey-Wimey stuff going on though.
but seriously, interesting, and delicious pasta right there.
WHO WAS PHOTOGRAPHER!?
WHO WAS CAMERA?
ahh, i remember a few years ago a girl told me this had actually happened to her friends and it creeped me the hell out. i was actually planning on submitting this as creepypasta myself but someone beat me to it!
and just to get it out of the way: BUT WHO WAS PHOTOGRAPHER?
BUT WHO WAS PHOTOGRAPHER?
But, WHO WAS BLAIRE WITCH?
It reminds me of that one story with the med student recording his sleep, then hearing his door opening in the recording.
I took those pictures!
Wait, hold the phone…
She went for only one day and a night, correct? Then how does each roll of film have a picture of her sleeping in the middle of the night?
It would be hard to fill one roll, go to sleep, fill another, go to sleep again, fill another, go to sleep again, and finally one more, then go to sleep for the last time; especially in one night.
Could use working, but has potential!
I am not going camping ever again
Cue x-files music.
this is a real creepy pasta, one of the good ones very creepy
BUT….WHO WAS CAMERA
God damn that’s creepy! I gasped in shock :P
BUT WHO WAS CAMERA?
cep’ for some typos, tha was good
wow…that’s a chilling thought.
i’m an aspiring photographer so this definitely creeped me out. =S
BUT WHO WAS LOG
sasquatch struck back
Then who was photographer?
uuuuuuuuuh *cricket cricket*
Sounds like a photo version of “La Nuit”.
THEN WHO STOLE CAMERA?
I really need to stop that. XD
I liked this one, very unsettling.
Very, very nice.
BUT WHO WAS CAMERA?
Win.
dude it was probably the blair witch have you seen that movie is so fucking scary i heard that all of the footage is real!
This was good, but a bit too similiar to La Nuit.
BUT WHO WAS STALKER??
Well, that’s creepy. It’s like the red in the keyhole one where there’s a disturbing revelation later on, but by then there’s no danger. Still creepy. I wonder, though… Did it come back as she changed rolls, or did it come once and change the roll for every picture?
Well, she didn’t get raped, so its not as bad as it could have been. Vaguely creepy, yes. Scary, no.
it is just them friendly bears.
.. HAWTNESS.
THEN WHO WAS CAMERA?!
Awesome.
Sorry, Anon E. Mouse was in the name field and I didn’t change it. So yeah, 1 and 2 are diff people.
This reminds me of that ‘la nuit’ creepypasta. Same basic idea.
then WHO WAS PICTURE TAKER?
lol I’ve always wanted to do a who was.
:)
Creepy, I actually liked this one.
AHHHHHHHHH!!!
This is just a copy of the one where the guy records himself sleeping.
i’ve always loved this one.
:C creepy …..i love it !! >:3
definitely creeps me out.. <3
BUT WHO WAS PICTURE?
interesting
BUT WHO WAS PHOTOGRAPH!
Anyway, I liked this story, it’s short, well-written, and the realism makes it creepier. Great job.
THEN WHO WAS NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHER?
Seriously though, kinda creepy but really similar to that ambient recording artist one.
