There was a girl who had an illness and was bed-ridden for the majority of her life. She was recently diagnosed to die within the next couple of months so her parents decided to spend as much time with her as they could before her time came. They decided that the best thing was to go camping at a local site for a little bit since the daughter was stuck in the hospital for so long.
On their way there, the girl was quiet as usual and laid in the back while the parents talked amongst themselves. When they finally reached their destination, they pitched the tent, unpacked everything and started a campfire. The mother was constantly filming the area and her daughter while the father went out for more firewood. It was getting dark when he came back, but he suddenly heard the mother scream so he rushed over to discover that his daughter was standing on her feet and was doing a wild, erratic ‘dance’ before she suddenly dropped dead.
After all the funeral processions and grieving subsided, the parents wanted to see the video the mother recorded on that very night. They put the tape in the player and began to watch. At first it just showed the mother looking at the scenery and random animals that passed by in the distance, but as the time frame skipped, it jumped to when she was inside the tent with the daughter as she stood up and began to jerk around.. But there was something wrong. It first was in the corner of their eyes but as they replayed the scene, their horror became more and more real.
The entire time the daughter was ‘dancing’, there was a ghastly white hand latched onto the top of her head.

This is probably the only CreepyPasta I’ve read that I’m still scared of. //shivers
It’s wonderfully well-written, and the ending caused my heart to skip a beat.
meh..needs more detail. too short to be considered a good pasta
This is from a fucking book. I believe it’s called “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark”
Fall Out Boy.
Meh, my life is more scary than this… Though it was not really that bad…
Am I the only one who listened to the song Dance, Dance by Fall Out Boy while reading this?
Pupet child
I think this pasta needs more spice. I mean, a girl getting jerked around by a white hand? woo ghost spooky.. Just not enough on my pasta, which is what caused it to be less enjoyable. 5/10 for efforts tho
I thought of Fall Out Boy’s song when I saw the title
The Master hand strikes again!
BUT WHO WAS HAND!?!?!?!
THEN WHO WAS WHITE GHASTLY HA- /shot/
The first thing that came to my mind was Fall Out Boy, seriously.
But it’s still very creepy and awesome.
I thought of Fall Out Boy too, haha :)
Oh my god. this one terrified me. Really wish I hadn’t read that, it’ll definitely keep me awake
My heart skipped a beat no joke, LOVE IT
9/10
All I can think is that she’s just doing the “Get Down” dance.
C’mon, think about it!
DANCE PUPPET GIRL DANCE!
I got friggin goose bumps XD
Loved it.
We’re falling apart to half-time.
Omigawsh.
I read this Pokemon conspiracy story recently- Blahblahblah, Lavender Town’s music is ebil, deathdeathghost, dead people communicating in the first patch of grass in the game- And… There’s this sprite, that nobody has discovered, but apparently, it’s a dead, rotting white hand with flesh peeling away from it.
I wtf’d and I think my case of the shivers increased slightly.
10/10
Creepy as heck. I enjoy pasta where the true creepy part is only discovered after the event, adds extra chilling effect somehow… And this was very well-executed. BUT WHO WAS HAND?
I knew there was going to be some sort of “hand” or something, but I was really hoping for strings like a marionette, you know?
Would have been cool if the kid was screaming.
Really scary if she was talking normally while the whole event was going on.
Despite the obvious errors in this work, I’m glad that it was posted. I have been methodically working my way through all these stories, ans it is good to see a actual scary one, considering the lack of the aforementioned creepyness.
