How scary was it?

One day at a shopping mall in the afternoon, a woman was coming out of the mall from a shopping spree. She was in a happy mood. She had gotten to her car and loaded her stuff that she had bought into her trunk. When she was done loading, she shut the door of her trunk and she saw an old lady standing by the passenger side of her car.

The old woman said “Would you be a darling and give me a lift home? I don’t have a car and I was walking all day.” The woman said “I’d be happy to.” So she unlocked the door for the old woman.
As she started to make her way around the car to the driver’s side, she started to feel uncomfortable. So when she got in the car, she looked in her purse and said “Darn, I can’t find my credit card. I’m going inside to see if anybody found it.” The old woman said “I’ll wait for you here.”

The woman left to go look for help. Then she found a security guard and told him the situation. They went back to the woman’s car and the passenger door was wide open. On the seat of the car was a shopping bag that the old woman had been carrying. Inside of the bag was the old woman’s dress and a gray haired wig, along with a huge butcher’s knife, a video camera, and a roll of duct tape.

    even though this does gives us a moral:
    Don’t give rides too creepy old ladies..

  2. For taking this from Snopes, you definitely lose points.

    The writing style was also really bland. Short choppy sentences really aren’t the way to be descriptive.

    If you were going to borrow a Snopes story, couldn’t you have at least embellished it a little?

  3. daamn people so quick to express their hate for an urban legend. shut up. enjoy it.

    also, it was Candlejack. he

  4. I think… the “old lady” was gonna make the woman drive her to some random place, then take off her disguise, duct tape her to a table, and slowly slice her up and stuff, while recording… LOL I have no idea…

  5. RAAAAAPE!

    lol, jk.

    Why did the guy leave, anyway? How did he know to leave? And why did the security guard come out? Were they going to arrest the old lady? They didn’t even know.

    Bad, bad plot holes.

  6. Retelling an old urban legend does not constitute as writing an original story. Shame, shame.

    1. how could you not get it? it wasnt actually an old lady it was some crazy dude pretending to be a sweet old lady so that when the woman drove him to wherever he wanted them to go he would make a snuff movie and butcher her.

  7. I liked it. Didn’t give me chills or anything but it was ok.
    And who gives a fuck if it was posted on snopes or whatever else?
    I swear, the minute people see something more than once they focus on the original source or the fact that they’ve seen it before rather than the story its self.

  8. This is like the mother of creepy story reposts -_- To the point where it is not even creepy anymore…

  9. The hell? Are you so hard pressed to find real, decent pasta that you resorted to posting outdated urban legends?

    What next, the one where the dog’s choking on the burgler’s fingers? Or maybe the one where the chick dies from wearing a dress with embalming fluid on it?
    Hell, the one where the hook-handed guy hangs the boyfriend above his girlfriend’s car is better than this.

    This place is going downhill, this post and the latest (Survival Guide) are perfect examples.

    The pasta is molding.

  10. Uhh, where’s the chatbox gone?? Unless it’s just me then

    I’M SORRY TO INFORM YOU THAT BANANACORN WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE HIS POST BECAUSE HE THREW HIS COMPUTER OUT A WINDOW, AS HE BELIEVED IT WAS HAUNTED.

    PEA—CE OUT
