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…

I’ve read the rest of the series on Creepypasta Wiki
I have seen worse pastas, but I can see why this is the currently lowest rated one. Easily forgettable, dull, lacked detail, and the biggest issue: PLOT HOLES. Literally the ending is saying, “There’s a scary part in this but I’m not putting it in.” If you included AT LEAST one story at the end, it could have been rated higher. I feel that this has a lot of potential, but not a lot of thought and effort was put into it. :/
Would be great if you told us at least on of the stories the in keeper told you.
Well. . . you tried to write a micropasta.
It started off pretty decent.
Aaaaand then nothing happened and you only gave vague details of everything and it was bad! Oh well. At least you hold the honour of ‘Lowest Rated Pasta On The Site’, dubious it may be.
Wow this story had sooo much potential… *soo disappointed* thanks for building up the story and throwing it away -_-
uh….
ok then
Is it possible to rate 0 out of 10
Aside the stupid BUT WHO WAS (blank) comments this story introduces an idea but then just ends abruptly. It didn’t build it’s atmosphere correctly so when we are told that there was some freaky stories of the town we are left with nothing to base those stories of. All we can imagine is maybe the town were killers or something. It just doesn’t make it scary.
Not even that good. 2/10
I’ll suggest what I like to do with Crappypastas: read it in a Tommy Wiseau voice. “O hai, strange town! You are so much like the sea, ha ha ha.” It literally makes any story, no matter how terrible, kind of fun.
Epilogue: Upon learning about this town, entrepreneurs flock to Blanche in the hopes of turning it and its weird people into a tourist attraction.
Looool
It’s hard to believe these comments were only 7 months ago.. do people like you guys still exist on the net?
*gasp* you are the ghosts of MSN and Chat avenue :O
ikr. i was just reading off a shitpasta to my friends as a joke and the people in the comments were so abnormal
Still a better love story than twilight
Greatly I’ve read this. Never thought that my name was a town and it was creepy.
Good, but what were the legends? If you included them it would be an easy 5 stars.
Congratulations on having the worst story on creepypasta!
2/10
I cant even take the title seriously. THE TOWN IS NAMED AFTER MY GRANDMA
THIS IS TERRIBLE!!! not even creepy! >:(
That shit is getting old tho stop it, but it makes me wonder what that feeling he must’ve had, like the feeling u have when u feel like being watched
your life is a movie is worse
You did
I enjoy creepypastas that make me scared to go to sleep or ones that make me not want to be home alone. This just makes me want to travel to that town you mentioned.
My gosh maybe put a little more thought into it. The biggest piece of junk my eyes have ever read. The most completely and utterly pointless piece of work I have ever seen. You published a Version 0.1 instead of refining it to actually be LONG and WORTHWHILE to read.
What were the stories about the town?
This was so stupid that I couldn’t help but read it in a stoner voice.
“The walls of the houses were like so dark….dude they were like not like black or gray, but like so dark. they were like blacker than black dude…they were like so dark that i dont know if there is a color for such a black color thats so black”
TOWN OF VEGAN
You had me laughing pretty good at “These guys sure look like the sea.”
The part where you’re trying to explain the unexplainable color really killed the mood.
uhh it was nothing, so u got blue people, the end, if u wanted to give this something, than u should have added in the stories u were told
Needed more explanation and thought. Wasn’t at all creepy, and it didn’t really make sense
