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.

butcher knife killed the story fucking lame
Very very old copypasta. I remember reading this story in a collection of urban legends about 10 years ago.
0/10
It’s obvious.
This person was a murderer.
(S)He dressed up as an old lady, hence the wig and clothes. (S)He did this so that he could be alone with his victim. The duct tape was obviously to cover the mouth so that the victim can’t scream.
The butcher’s knife was the murder weapon, of course.
And the camera was so the murderer could tape himself killing/torturing her.
This pasta only gets points for being more realistic. I learned English in a foreign country and can write better than this. Hell, my DOG can write better than this. FAIL pasta is FAIL!
Why do you people still think giving lame “who was phone” type responses is funny?
This creepy pasta taste gross!
Not scary at all!
Yuk, this is the worst creepy pasta ever.
Now excuse me as I throw up, and claiming that I will never read that again. That is not scary at all.
ANSWER
ABOUT ” THE OLD LADY” STORY
This is not a ghost or creepy story… is about someone pretended to be an old lady and try to rob the women. The robber dressed up as an innocent old lady, that’s explained the wig and the dress. The duct tape is to seal the women’s mouth. The video camera maybe is to record and send to her family?kidnap? the butcher knife…mayb is to kill her after collected the ransom. The women is wise ..therefore she inform the security guard…the old lady(robber) saw the women talking with the security guard…worried and run.
if u ask me why the robber left the dress and wig in the bag..i dont know. to change a better look i guess LOL.
I’m 12 and what is this?
I thought this was decent. Kinda like that hooked-hand one where the hook is found in the car, or the dog body in the shower, but decent enough to make me shiver at the potential.
Unlike everyone else I actually loved it! I have yet to read a story like this, so it is original to me. It was short and sweet pasta.
NEVER TRUST OLD LADEHS.

No but seriously, this sucks.
So the serial killer decided he just had to get naked right then, huh?
Hell, it’d be creepier if there was no wig and dress. An old lady going around killing people is more original and more convincing.
I like it, but I really can’t imagine why he or she left the wig and the dress in the bag! I mean, you know, undressing takes a little bit of time. I could understand if the fake granny left the bag with all the other stuff and maybe a different wig there. Or hell, maybe even without a wig. Would be creepy enough.
Despite being really common, this pasta could have been good if it wasn’t written with the skill of an elementary school student.
But.. It wasn’t scary :[
OMGZZ I WILL NVR DRIV IN MUH CAR AGIN!!!
lol jk, this was bad.
older than your great-granddaddy’s kneecaps.
This has actually happened in my town before! It freaked me the fuck out when I read it in the paper!
Heres another story for your taste buds.
Is anyone there?
I woke up, again. When i look at the clock by my bed, it says its 4:45 AM. Why do i keep waking up? I need to get to sleep. Later, i decide i just can’t and i get up to get something to drink. When i get to the fridge, i stop and freeze. I feel it, eyes on me. I don’t even have time to turn around before the feeling is gone. I don’t even question it, i ask.
“Is anyone there?” no answer.
I decide to ditch the drink and retreat back to my bed. Oh well. Its only moments later when i hear my bedroom door open. There’s a figure standing there, i look up at it and stare, the question leaking out of me.
“Who are you, and why are you here?!” At the exact moment i ask, the figure asks with me. I get up and stand in front of it, as i do, it mimics me, like a mirror. I reach behind myself and turn on my light. I scream as i do, and so does the figure.
Its me.
Other me has a hammer in one hand, Me2 raises her arm and smashes my head and to my surprise, it doesn’t hurt – it feels good. I want to beg me to keep going, bit i can’t. I know I’m dead. But if i am, why can i still think and hear?
“That’ll show you you pesky robot clone!” Other me shouts out. “Trying to steal my life!”
Robot clone?
This is pretty dumb and reminds me of a newer worse version of Little Red Riding Hood.
THIS SUCKS
So yeah, the killer decides “OH SHI- MY COVER’S BLOWN” or something and decides to UNDRESS RIGHT FUCKING THERE so he can run away, leaving his things behind as perfect evidence. It’s exactly what a good psycho would do to run away without raising any suspicion, huh?
@J: For that matter why would he leave the bag behind at all? It’s completely retarded, not creepy, and already been done a million times.
Failure incarnate.
I had to read it a couple times, but i think i got it. A killer (Butchers knife, duct tape, camera), who dressed up as the old lady (wig & dress), and was going to kill the woman who went on the shopping spree,
I love realistic stories many times more than the paranormal ones, but this is poorly written and boring. On the bright side, it didn’t waste as much time as it could have. Hm.
