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.

  1. you know what this pasta reminds me of? Has anyone seen 1960’s Psycho? The “Old Lady” reminds me of Norman Bates.

  2. Its creepy, but I mean, I wish it was creepier, I love creepy. And I mean the lady should’ve got killed er something, It would be creepy then. Description helps it get creepy. I mean thats what made me almost puke in the Jeff story.

  3. I actually have a few true stories like this… close-calls, if you will, with rapists and robbers and psychos who set buildings on fire.

    The scariest part, was that they seemed normal at first… I’m glad they just decided that they’d found a better target than me.

  4. I liked it. I’m guessing if the woman hadn’t forgotten her credit card she would’ve died. I guess that’s a good thing? Or maybe the old woman took it… Sorry, i’m not good at enterpreting X3

    1. The woman didn’t forget her credit card…she was suspicious of the “old woman’s” intentions and went and got a security guard for assistance.

  5. So wait, I have a few questions:-
    -Was the old woman a man or a woman?
    -Was she going to kill the woman?
    -Was she going to rape the woman?
    -What was on the video camera?
    -There’s only three things I can think of being on the camera. Firstly, porn, second, rape, thirdly, past victims. All of which would provide brilliant evidence. So why on earth would ANY good criminal have done this?
    – And, because I feel as if it is needed in this instance, and I just can’t resist it, WHO WAS OLD WOMAN?

  6. This is what was going to happen:
    1.) the old lady would make her drive somewhere random
    2.) duct tape her
    3.) tie her up
    4.) rape her
    5.) as the old lady reached orgasm the victim would be decapitated
    6.) rinse and repeat

  7. I think I get it,when the old lady asked her for a ride and the woman agreed,the woman got a strange feeling,and “knew” (her instinct) what was about to happen,so she pretended to have left her credit card (by fakely looking into her purse) so she could safely get away and get help (hence going to the security guard,because who goes to a security guard if you left your credit card in the store,honestly?) and told the security guard that there was someone strange in her car,but the “old lady” figured out that she was getting a security guard and left…but it’s kinda dumb because who would leave all the evidence behind? and I don’t get how this is a creepypasta because creepypastas are stories that are suppose to leave that “Is this really true..?” feeling in your mind yet it’s a story to weird to be true,yet you second guess yourself.

  8. Ive eaten alot of pasta in my day, some would go as far as to call me a glutton, but this was horrible, just awful, spat it out far before i decided to swallow it

  9. Seriously? This was on Mostly True Stories, and i’ve heard it at least a million times. How did they not catch this?

  10. So, I get why he would have that stuff..
    But why would the idiot leave evidence? The cops would either be SWARMING the woman and/or trying to find the man, or everyone would forget about it and just think of it as some stupid kids.

  11. Something like this happened to my grandmother back in the late ’60’s. She was getting in her car when an elderly woman opened her backdoor and got in. When she got in she told my grandma, “Take me home.” My grandmother was horrified. The woman wouldn’t leave, so my grandma asked where she lived and she drove the woman to her home. My grandma was barely 19 when this happened, with a toddler and pregnant with my father. She was just happy she didn’t have my uncle with her when this happened.

    1. LOL apparently that lady knew her crap, and just didn’t give a hoot that she was making some stranger drive her home. Like a honey badger…

      "You see this, young lady?"
      "… you’re holding up an empty paper bag…"
      "Yep. That contained all my f*cks to give. Now drive."
