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…

Blanche from the Golden Girls?
It doesn’t make it creepy if you just tell us it is.
This was terrible. Wasn’t even creepy. Srsly though, who is Blanche? Like Really?
Who was in the comments makes me laugh I love grammar trolls here I’ll give you a sentence to fix (I were a man who went to a twn two stay the knight than I sawn a birds u would not beleve its) have fun I’ll check back in time
Quite possibly the best trollpasta ever written.
I just. Cant. What were the scary stories? This literally is a story that says, “someone told me a scary story. The End.”
So this is supposed to be like “The Shadow over Insmouth” but in France?
DUDE COTE D’IVORIE NOT WHAT EVER YO SAID!
Um… there’s more than just one Côte.
This is a bad story, nuff said.
You shouldn’t make duplicate accounts
Guy 1: So, I drove through this town one time and then I heard some super spooky stories about it. I swear to god, I didn’t sleep for weeks after hearing that shit.
Guy 2: Yeah?
Guy 1: Yeah. Bye.
oh but who was..
Ok. So it wasn’t dark, but it was dark?
Blanche? Are you sure it wasn’t Innsmouth, Massachusetts?
Wow this was pretty bad
My 5 year old niece told me a story about some ‘really super humongerous’ (as she put it) bug that was scarier than this.
BUT WHO WROTE A BAD PASTA?!
I can’t believe it cut off without an example of the creepy stories
I feel dumber now having read this story, Writer, I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.
What is creepy in this story? The town “felt weird.” Is that it? Feels wrong! Why did you upload this to CreepyPasta? You should be looking for a sight called “VaguelyWeirdPasta.”

FIVE STARS! A+! FOUR STARS! Seriously though… this is the type of story kids would tell at a campfire. Just saying.
Sorry, but I would never be scared by this, even in pitch darkness in the middle of the woods.
This… is… awful…
they shoud make the stories of blanche and title it blanche s storys
like the publisher said “they were getting really hungry on the road” maybe they were seeing things :)
It might not have been as bad as it was if you actually explained Blanche was scary.
