The X-Ray Glasses
October 11th, 2008 by WHO WAS PHONE?
For a brief period in 1971, a New Jersey based company sold novelty “X-ray” glasses through the mail via advertisements in the Marvel line of comic books. People who viewed their televisions while wearing these glasses reported seeing images that were “hellish” or “like hell”. It should be noted that this phenomena occurred whether the televisions in question were turned on or not. The company quickly went out of business and investigations reveal that the company’s address leads to a graveyard founded over 150 years earlier.

I’d hit that.

There’s not enough detail for it to be creepy.
October 11th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
I already read this somewhere
October 11th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
It lacks plot..
Just.. overall bad. :/
Oh and;
WHO WAS TV?
October 11th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
THEN WHO WAS GLASSES? ^^ Not shocking, but still eerie stuff

Do you want a cookie, Dr. Creepy?
Anyhow, the spring of creepypasta seems to be drying up. Lately, the stuff that gets submitted to me is either:
a) Decent, but already posted on this website.
b) Nothing more than a glorified religious forward (seriously, people are sending me shit that I’ve read from my grandparents, all FWD:FWD:FWD: style).
c) Of this caliber:
“you think that if u have a night light the monsters will stay away right? well it wont the night will get to u and so will the dark icey hand from under your bed. you may call for your mom or dad but they wont come.the dark has swallowed there sole already and they wont be able to move until morning so you think you can go all the way to there room before geting swallowed up by the dark well gess again the dark is every were and it will get you and this moniter light isnt enugh so dont try to take it with you cause this monitor is the last kind of light u will see ever now turn to ur left then ur right and by time u do that ur screen will go black and the world will here u scream!”
Seriously, I’m not kidding. That’s the kind of shit that’s clogging up my inbox right now. So if you have the time to bitch and moan about how you could do better or have read better, PLEASE, take the time to send it my way - otherwise, I’m seriously at a loss here.

^ Sounds like a desperate attempt from a six year old to get some online credibility. Oh yeah, by the way, He failed. Miserably. (Was that a real submitted story? If so, LOL)
October 11th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Yep. Word for word =/
October 11th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
Well, WHO WAS PHONE?, if I were the person who submitted that story, I’d feel somewhat happy, seeing as you just kind of sort of posted it.
Not that I submitted that story.
Because I didn’t.
Seriously.
October 11th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Ahh, I’m sorry, Phone.
But if you ask me, “The Prince’s Fresh Start” pretty much makes up for…ah…some of the other stories that have been posted lately. Thank you for posting that for us, and thank you for posting the others as well, even the ones that aren’t “brix worthy.”
Anyway, good luck.

I wrote some pastas on paper and your really tempting me.Maybe I will,just need to pick the right one.Oh and I wasn’t bitching I was just saying that it sounded familiar.I garante you phone you’ll recive a decent new pasta by two days from now on and post it up on the forum.
October 11th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
THEN WHO WAS GRAVEYARD?
October 11th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
Dr. Creepy - make sure to shoot them over to me via submit@creepypasta.com. I’m looking forward to it!
Ma Cherie, thanks. I have a strange Brokeback Mountain “creepypasta” that I’m tempted to post as well if nothing better shows up by tomorrow, haha.
October 11th, 2008 at 5:58 pm
Hey! That’s not nice! I WROTE that story! Thery’re all coming to get you bahhhhh
October 11th, 2008 at 6:03 pm
I’ve read this before, just can’t remember where. It’s vague, but not too bad of a pasta.
And WHO WAS PHONE - I feel bad for you now. I lost quite a few brain cells just reading that thing.
October 11th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
Phone, I just sent in a SHITLOAD of pasta. Like…seriously, a shitload. So you won’t be hurting for at least a little while. (:
October 11th, 2008 at 7:10 pm
WHO WAS PHONE, why not issue a challenge for people to write creepypasta under various themes or topics, and then make a competition of it? The only prize need be the kudos of coming first? It’s not too hard to put a little voting thingy in, and i’m sure it’ll get people writing?
October 11th, 2008 at 8:09 pm
wow.. this is different really short too, I’m tempted to write some creepypastas and send them to you.
October 11th, 2008 at 11:50 pm
Sending the pasta your waysssss. Sucks to have to mod on pastas without the grammer included.
This story is decent.
October 11th, 2008 at 11:54 pm
mmmm i actually liked this
sure sure it has not much of a plot… but the creepy is there. i was like o.O ooooo.
October 12th, 2008 at 3:56 am

October 12th, 2008 at 7:47 am

BUT THEN WHO WAS DARK?!
October 12th, 2008 at 7:51 am
Oh Jesus Christ, that’s not gonna become a meme now, is it? D:
WHAT HAS YOU DONE, PHONE?!
October 12th, 2008 at 11:44 am
I actually have always loved this one.
Aaaand pasta with too much detail always kind of ruins it for me. :/
October 12th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Mailed it.Hope it’s good
October 12th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
I must disagree with the naysayers, I found this to be rather likeable.
Perhaps it needs a little padding out, but I can clearly see where it goes. Nice one, Phone!^_^
October 12th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
i cant wirte any thing scarey to save my life >.>; but good luck evry one else >:3
October 12th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
mmm, awaiting the return of good pastas.
open up your imaginations people =]
this was ok.
October 13th, 2008 at 9:24 am
Hm, its scary if the “hellisch” picture are the reallty and there living in matrix. >:D
October 19th, 2008 at 11:48 am
I think the real question is WHO WAS COMPANY?
October 29th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
UHm..this is good and all, but not necessarily creepy. And can someone pleaase answer my question. Why is everyone saying things like, “WHO WAS PHONE. or WHO WAS TV?” I’m confused…sorry im new ^_^”
October 29th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
Oh, and considering it was the 70s and all, the people might have just been high on some kinda drug while they had the glasses on xD
November 6th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
@subLImal mEsSaging
Exactly. 8D
And WHO WAS PHONE? is apparently someone’s username. Dunno about WHO WAS TV, or any of the “WHO WAS” things I keep reading in comments. O_o
I’m new to this particular site, but am a longtime fan of frightening stories. Especially ones like these that make me desperately want the item described. D:
