If you visit France’s Cote d’Azur in your lifetime, do everything you can to avoid a small town called “Blanche”. I was in the country once with my parents, around 8 years ago (I was 12 at that time; we were on a family vacation), and we found ourselves looking for a place to get some rest and enjoy some of the local color. We were getting really hungry on the road, so it was with some luck that a town, unmarked on our map, rose unexpectedly on the horizon. This was the town of Blanche.
Immediately after we entered Blanche, we noticed that the colors of the houses were darker than anything I had seen in my entire life – it’s not like they were black or grey, they were normal colors for walls – they just look… not right. It’s hard to explain; almost like it was a color that we don’t even have a word for because it’s so dark and strange.
A few minutes after driving around the town, we all began to notice the fishy stench – like a Friday market, except for the fact that no fish were being sold. The people in the town also had a really weird skin tone, almost frostbitten and tinged a deep blue – if I recall correctly, my father said something like “These guys sure look like the sea.” We had originally planned to stay in the town for a while, but my mother and my sister were so disturbed by the creepy atmosphere and the town’s denizens that they insisted that we keep driving and find a different town to stay the night.
When we arrived in the next town, it was like we all gave a gigantic sigh of relief at once – we felt that we were back in normal civilization. However, the people who ran the inn that we stayed at in the second town did tell us some very freaky stories about Blanche – stories that made us really glad that we didn’t stay there…

sorry for freaking you out,the stories arent true btw.we all got really cold,and found out blue and white paint together keep our special bodies warm,so we dive int opaint everymorning,as for the walls,its cuz we keep painting of them with a darkwas hof black ink and water.also, we creepy for teh lulz
All it was missing was chinless albinos. And, you know, a resolution. And a point. And something not stolen wholesale from Lovecraft.
Why didnt this creepypasta actually tell the scary stories of Blanche instead of just saying they exist? FUCKING DUMB.
Blue balls from Hell. Could this story try harder to let me down. Why didn’t the writer think the narrator would want to tell us some of those “freaky stories” instead of just giving us a big lead up to them and dropping us before the climax?
IT WAS REALLY SCARY. I PROMISE.
Nah that wasn’t us
lol @ fcf and mr. welldone
yeah…stories like what…that’s more interesting than a family road trip or picnic in france.
Me and my family drove through this weird town once. Then we heard stories about it. Freaky shit, man.
It’s like someone read The Shadow Over Innsmouth and thought it would be more awesome if nothing happened in it at all.
Still a better story than this one.
Um yeah, so if you’re gonna go for a creepy story, perhaps you should actually include, i dunno, creepiness? :P
I mean, you can’t expect to creep someone out by saying ‘OMG, this one time, I was in a bar, and a dude told me a scary story. The end’
*sigh*
And it could have been interesting, had the creepy stories actually been included
Then what kind of freaky things happened in Blanche, excuse me???
(this is NOT directed at WHO WAS PHONE.)
How boring…
Not cool, that fishy smell is an actually disease called Trimethylaminuria.

Stories like..?
Pretty much a failure. Not written very well, a terribly ambiguous ending, which, for this story, doesn’t work at all.
Just not particularly interesting overall, and no payoff.
The author of this one tried too hard to be vague, and it failed.
And those stories are…?
Where is the ending?
Sounds like Innsmouth to me! I think we have a lawsuit on our hands, H.P. Lovecraft!
…What kind of stories? Now I want to hear how the whole town flooded and all the denizens they family saw were actually drowned ghost victims and such…
Ooo, that’s good! You write it, please!
WHO WAS STORIES?
also WHO WAS FISH SMELL?
and WHO WAS LOVECRAFT?
omfg H.P. lovecraft comment was brillaint. i was about to say the same thing
Hello.
Worthless.
Backstory plz?
wouldnt the pasta be the stories about the town?…instead of the anecdote?
its like saying ¨omg, once someone told me this really creepy story about ppl that looked like zombies¨…?>< y?
Meh, It sounds too familiar, like something that I’ve read on here before. =/ It would have been better if they would have at least incorporated some of the stories that were retold back to them. All in all it wasn’t that bad though.
Uhhh. What? Can we hear the freaky stories? Because this one wasn’t freaky at all.
Could have been better…
NO THIS WAS THE BEST PASTA EVER
heeeeeeeeeelo anyone see the mistake?!
This entire pasta is a mistake
Then what were the stories that were told numbnuts?
BUT WHO WAS COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER???

Homestuck strikes again
Hi…replying after 7 years, found out this was the worst rated creepypasta and it still is to this day, so I painted a mental picture of the citizens of Blanche, and this is what I got:
I hear they taste like crab and talk like people.
BUT WHO WAS TOWN?
BUT WHO WAS BLANCHE!!!!!!!!! Iam sick of hearing that ”but who was” in the comments of evey single creepy pasta e.g. ”but who was widemouth” and ”but who was pokemon blue” they are all derived from the origianl shit sentence at the end of crap creepy pasta’s”but who was phone” idont thinkl even the cretor of that phrase gets it…………….but yea good story wish i hearde the storys though
BUT WHO WAS JACKASS?! Oh, right, it’s you.
But who was idiot who appreciates reading the same le memes on every creepypasta? Oh right, it’s you.
But who am I?
XD
Lol
Yeah, cretors don’t get nothin’.
Oh. you don’t like it? Did we rustle your jimmies? I don’t use the term “Butthurt” anymore, I’m not twelve. So I’ll use these. Are you rearbattered? Rumpusruffled? Bootymaimed? Tushupset? Anallydistressed? Rumpdisturbed? Sphincterdinked? Derrierdevastated? Coloncrushed? Fannytroubled? GlutiosMaximusWounded? Oh, well then GTFO this site. You’re obviously going to see it.
Coloncrushed… I’ve never heard that but it might be the best thing I’ve ever heard ever.
sounds like a wrestling move. THE COLON CRUSHER!
Ya lol
How awesome it may sound, there is no way a want to see it executed
I’m afraid I’m another victim of encountering the best comment ever which goes to you Alexendra
I agree LOL
Bootymaimed is an interesting way to put things
I’ve got to say.. wow.
“sphincterdinked”?
“fannytroubled”?
…
I’m glad I wallowed through this piece of trash to find your steaming pile of comment. Seriously.. made my day. xD
Ohh shit, you just got towed by a girl. (No offense) :)
Sphincterdinked made my freaking day.
I lost it at Anallydistressed. XD
Wow, seriously? Can’t believe you’d go through so much trouble looking through synonyms for the words “butt” and “hurt”,just to make what you and the rest of the population of retards deem a “snappy remark”.
Looks like someone’s sphincterdinked
Ya lol
Oh my god, this is seriously the BEST comment I have ever read on this site. Bravo. -applause-
Bravo I agree
This… This is gold.
Wow so many ppl commenting on the comment lol

Sphincterdinked just made my entire week.
Hah lol

“anallydistressed” might just be the best line ive ever heard
Operation: Rustle Jimmies was a success.

BUT WHO WAS CIAN?
But who was idiot?
