White With Red
A man went to a hotel and walked up to the front desk to check in. The woman at the desk gave him his key and told him that on the way to his room, there was a door with no number that was locked and no one was allowed in there. Especially no one should look inside the room, under any circumstances. So he followed the instructions of the woman at the front desk, going straight to his room, and going to bed.
The next night his curiosity would not leave him alone about the room with no number on the door. He walked down the hall to the door and tried the handle. Sure enough it was locked. He bent down and looked through the wide keyhole. Cold air passed through it, chilling his eye. What he saw was a hotel bedroom, like his, and in the corner was a woman whose skin was completely white. She was leaning her head against the wall, facing away from the door. He stared in confusion for a while. He almost knocked on the door, out of curiosity, but decided not to.
This disinclination saved his life. He crept away from the door and walked back to his room. The next day, he returned to the door and looked through the wide keyhole. This time, all he saw was redness. He couldn’t make anything out besides a distinct red color, unmoving. Perhaps the inhabitants of the room knew he was spying the night before, and had blocked the keyhole with something red.
At this point he decided to consult the woman at the front desk for more information. She sighed and said, “Did you look through the keyhole?” The man told her that he had and she said, “Well, I might as well tell you the story. A long time ago, a man murdered his wife in that room, and her ghost haunts it. But these people were not ordinary. They were white all over, except for their eyes, which were red.”

I read quite a few of these stories before I went to bed. This one of two that stuck with me and really creeped me out.

im sorry, but this is the lamest copypasta i’ve ever read. its been posted again and again and again
June 2nd, 2008 at 11:14 pm
Hmm, this is kind of creepy kuz i had something similar happen to me except it was black instead of red, and i never asked about it.
June 10th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
The title ruins the surprise.
June 21st, 2008 at 2:37 pm
It’s a really creepy, effective story. Thus far, it’s my favourite from this site. My only two problems with it is that, for starters… the way it’s written rushes the story along and ultimately makes the ending feel a little weird and incomplete. Also, the title completely ruins the surprise, and thus makes it entirely ineffective. The title should change to either “The Abandoned Room”, “The Pale Girl”, or simply “White with Red”.
June 22nd, 2008 at 7:22 pm
Change the title.
Other than that, it’s creepy as hell.
June 23rd, 2008 at 7:50 pm
The name must have been changed today or yesterday, however I did not see it prior. What was the give-away name? “Red Eyes”?
Is good. But rushed, yes.
June 28th, 2008 at 9:45 pm
The first time I read it, it was titled “The Other Watcher.”
June 30th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
This one gave me shivers, and that doesn’t happen to me very often.
I like it.
July 1st, 2008 at 9:15 am
Reading this, I realize now that I so would have poked her in the eye. I mean, why is she so scary again? Oh no, a ghost with red eyes. A crazed woman high on weed, that’s scarier than some undead broad.
July 11th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
This story scared the shit out of me.
July 14th, 2008 at 12:06 am
dammerung has a point but i think this is soo creepy is becuase the lady knew he was looking in there but then again how could she have known it’s not like when you look through a keyhole there’s a big red sign saying look at what im doing
July 16th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Hello.
This would make a nice short scene in a film, and the climax could have been accompanied by a nice flinchy-jump sound.
Maybe a pupil could have moved.
Thank you for your time.
July 16th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
It’s not scary thinking about it, but when I read that I got that chill that usually goes down your back down my front. I guess that means it freaked me out doubly, or something.
July 16th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
That was scary as hell. If he’d known the story earlier he might have died of shock or something.
And what happens if you knock on the door?
July 19th, 2008 at 4:19 am
I like this one a lot. Before I read this version, I read a variant here:

July 23rd, 2008 at 9:53 pm
Can you imagine how scary it would be when you relize you stareing strait into her eye?
July 27th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
One of my favorites
July 30th, 2008 at 6:01 pm
Old but good.
One of my first pastas.
July 31st, 2008 at 5:35 pm
This is one of my favorites.
Quite a shock at the end, despite the title.
Although, when I first read this, I almost didn’t realize the connection. After about 5 seconds I shat bri/x/.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:24 am
this is one of my fav pastas
August 1st, 2008 at 5:22 am
So dat bitch was lookin at dat dood?? lololol
August 5th, 2008 at 4:54 am
i was phone, i woulda poked that bitch in that damn eye! ghost or not
August 10th, 2008 at 1:01 am
@Dammerung
stfu everyone knows you would have screamed like a little bitch if this actually happened to you :3
August 12th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
Bri/x/ have been shat.
August 19th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
when ever im creeped out i just read the comments …..i always get uber lulz
but this one DID creepy me out though
August 20th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Its not the actual story that’s frightening..but the concept of it. Eyes are the window to the soul–and knowing that this deadness, this emptiness of hollow death is staring back at you–INTO you–what would be going on behind the eyes? What thoughts could they have?Are they judging you?
August 25th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
y doesn’t n e 1 do something about that room?…brick it up…block the keyhole…something!
August 25th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
The front desk girl mentioned nothing about the consequences of knocking on the door. Maybe you’ll get a g-g-g-ghost blowjob if you’re lucky
August 26th, 2008 at 8:14 am
So albinos lived in there. Oh no! Some people have a lack of skin pigmentation! HORRORFEST. On the other hand just the mental image of staring through a keyhole and seeing someone else’s eye is very creepy, so this gets some props.
August 30th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
I would check again if shes still looking then masterbate in front of the keyhole so she can admire my penis.
September 2nd, 2008 at 1:29 am
RED EYE? CALL STEIN!
September 2nd, 2008 at 2:34 pm
buttocks thats quite a tale
September 7th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
@Coconut: You know, I’m pretty sure pushing things from creepypasta to “Elfen Lied” would be a bad move on your part.
September 8th, 2008 at 1:53 am
i know it’s a really obvious story with the name, but my blood turned cold when i read the end & he found out what the red was
September 9th, 2008 at 1:03 am
She musta fell into a vat of acid as well
Cept my eyes are blue
September 15th, 2008 at 8:59 am
I would have shit my pants after that nurse told me that the lady in the room has red eyes… he shoulda like, poked the red with a pencil or something..
September 19th, 2008 at 8:05 pm
What is so scary about albino people?
September 20th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
“What is so scary about albino people?”
The point isn’t that she’s albino, it’s the general mystery of the thing, combined with the fact, that he was looking at her, and not only did she know, she was looking right back at him the second time.
September 25th, 2008 at 3:55 am
Dude, why even mention the room to him? The receptionist could easily have not brought it up, and the room would have been left well enough alone. Damn trouble-making hotel clerks.
September 25th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
So there’s an albino girl, locked in a room, who likes to look through keyholes? That’s it?
September 27th, 2008 at 2:45 am
I’m more fond of the visual interpretation than the actual story. xD
September 28th, 2008 at 8:52 am
This isn’t that creepy as there’s very little mention of the woman being at all malevolent, and it was pretty rushed, especially at the end. But I’ll give it credit here: The thought of staring at something through a keyhole and having it stare back at you is really quite unnerving. But still, haunted house/hotel pastas very rarely creep me out as you have to actually be in one of those places to be harmed. The ones that appeal to irrational paranoia - such as unexplained invaders in your house and/or bedroom and ESPECIALLY mirrors (in my opinion the pastas about mirrors are by far the creepiest) - are the ones that really creep me out and give me sleepless nights.
September 29th, 2008 at 11:45 am
really nice story!
In the “popular pastas” section” its still with the old title, which ruins the ends
October 3rd, 2008 at 5:51 pm
Ughh that’s creepy. ;n;
But yeah, title ruins it.
D’:
October 6th, 2008 at 5:29 pm
wow…first time I read it this scared me a little…now every time I read it it I laugh!
stupid guy being a peeping tom..
October 11th, 2008 at 4:59 am
“murdered his wife in that room, and her ghost haunts it.”
For all the people that think the girl was alive.
This is one of the few creepypastas that have made me shit myself.
October 11th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
BRIX=SHAT
October 25th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
I actually red a variation of this a long time ago. As in years ago.
While reading this today (I had forgotten how it ended) goosebumps literally sprang up on my skin. Man, just the thought of being so close, just inches away, to something staring back at me freaks me the hell out. (What an oddly worded sentences…)
October 25th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
*sentence
October 27th, 2008 at 1:00 am
this is scary. But what was the title that “ruined it”? i dont think that just ‘white and red’ ruins it so…

Good idea, but badly writen. It was a tad rushed, yanno?
51.The title had originally been “The Other Watcher”, appearantly.
52.Shut the hell up. I don’t particularly think we care about sex organs while reading creepypasta.
October 31st, 2008 at 1:02 am
It’s a good one. Not as scary as my friend described it to me though.
November 2nd, 2008 at 1:34 pm
What would happened if he put a knife through the keyhole? o:
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:00 am
55.: OW.
Looking through these archives I’m seeing some good copypasta. :3
Especially the last pasta posted :p Very good, almost had me fooled. (the one posted May 4th)
November 7th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Am I the only one who finds “But these people were not ordinary. They were white all over, except for their eyes, which were red.” very badly executed?
It seems forced.
November 7th, 2008 at 11:36 pm
So the couple were human albinos and one of them decided to peek back out at the man. Big whoop.
What would have happened if he had knocked on the door?
November 8th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
white ghost, red eyes, white room. they were staring at him. duh.
November 11th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
I gasped at the end.
November 13th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
This is one of my favorite stories. I’m glad creepypasta has it c: I’ve read different versions, one of them being a guy looking through the keyhole of an abandoned camp room…like at a camp for the summer? XD I forgot what you call them ._.
Anyway, it’s good =] still one of my favorites, as I’ve said before X3
