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.

@Lain
It makes total sense XD
so she was a mii all along?
Nice. Good ending, but it could use some cleaning up. Perhaps more description on the hand, or what exactly it was doing. It coulda just been a hand chilling on her head while she crazy danced.
my heart skipped a beat at the ending lol very yummy pasta :)))
Wow, I really liked this one. Very concise and well-written, especially given the length.
THEN WHO WAS PHONE?
calm down y’all, all i did was choke a bitch
Oooh! That was genuinely creepy. Finally broke the steak of shabby pastas of late. Nice and short too.
The “White Hand” can be found in old English lore. It is one of the many traditional harbingers of death (banshees, birds, etc.).
I liked this. Short, weird, and ended with a punch. You don’t always need everything spread out before you, completely explained…
God, the ending was creepy. I shivered.
meh, it didn’t do it for me. But then again, it is the middle of the day. If it were night time, I’m sure it would’ve done something for me, but it just didn’t. CURSE YOU SUNLIGHT!! PS. Nice play on the fear of going in the woods.
PFKaNoneya: lawl. <3
Me like. Very sudden though. My only criticism is that it could have used more build-up.
@17:
You ARE perceptive! :-D
@15: Do you also do video poker?
wat
My whole perception of reality is thrown into questiong.
EVIL PUPPETEER, GHOST, OR INVISIBLE-GIANT CHILD PLAYING WITH ‘DOLLIES’, PLACE YOUR BETS NOW!
*shivers*
OOH!
Very Creepy!
Nice job!!!!
It reminds me of the story of the red shoes. With that girl who got the shoes and couldnt stop dancing so this dude chopped her feet off :D
This is the way they’d love if they knew how misery loved me?
Sorry, couldn’t help myself.
Not a bad pasta.
Why don’t you show me the little bit of spine you’ve been saving for his mattress?
(All the FOB references!)
and these are the lives we love to lead
some good creepy pasta.
it is broad daylight and i am still creeped out.
but who was dance?
@Us – I’d be lying if I said that wasn’t the first thing that came to mind when I titled this post ;)
I don’t find this very creepy at all.
If a thing is to be supernaturally frightening, it’s important to give the smallest of inklings as to why the event is happening.
@Us= lulzzzz.
Otherwise, though? This really was creepy, written nicely.
We’re falling apart to half-time.
Ah. That Fall Out Boy reference :)
all in a days work :)
White Hand, prepare to die!I will avenge my daughter!
And I will film it!
I shall eat the remains!
I’d prefer if you guys didn’t use my insides as your temporary shelter, but if it can’t be avoided at least keep the dog out.
When I’m not making dying people dance,I’m the handburger helper hand!
OSHI-
I want to dance craaaazy before I die!
creepy, written well
i like :)
i think my heart skipped a beat at the end..
Quite nice..

Hand was a thing controlling her lik a puppet
