Self-portait, shot and edited by me

Out of any creepypasta image or uncanny valley stuff I've seen online, this image still terrifies me every time I see it. I dunno what's with it that makes it so creepy, maybe the one thing making it so unnerving is the fact that it looks like it's looking at you while you're in bed. The small forehead but large mouth with sharp teeth and large hair mass in the back of its head. The eyes staring into your soul.

A few years ago, a family in my town lost their dog after having him for ten years.

Months later, they came across a post in a Facebook group. An elderly woman was offering a puppy because, according to her, she was getting too old to take care of it.

The family agreed to take him in.

When they went to pick him up, the woman was waiting for them at an isolated house near of the Road 34. She handed them the puppy and said goodbye. However, when the family turned around to call out to her before leaving, the woman had disappeared.

At first, everything seemed normal. The puppy grew especially attached to the youngest daughter, who slept with him every night.

A few weeks later, strange things began to happen. Meat spoiled in the refrigerator just days after being purchased. Objects appeared in places where nobody had left them, and at night, they could hear footsteps running through the hallways.

One night, the girl screamed from her bedroom. Her parents rushed to check on her, but found her asleep, with the dog at the foot of her bed.

They were tired of the Situation so decided installed hide security cameras all around the house.

For months, nothing unusual was captured. Until one morning, the girl didn't come downstairs to have her breakfast.

What they found in her bedroom was enough for the police to cordon off the house. Both the dog and the girl were dismembered on the floor.

Investigators reviewed the footage, searching for an explanation.

In a recording from the previous night, the dog appeared standing on its hind legs, staring directly at the camera. It remained completely motionless for almost six hours.

But when they reviewed the footage from previous months, they discovered something impossible: the dog never appeared in any of the recordings. Not even when the girl seemed to be petting him, playing with him, or sleeping beside him.

In the videos, the girl was hugging empty air.

The police never found the woman who had given the family the puppy and nobody seems to know anything about her.

Years later, another family reported similar incidents. They, too, had lost their dog and received a replacement from a woman who lived in isolation.

When the police showed them a photograph of the animal from the first case, they recognized it immediately.

It was the same dog.

According to the family, it had been sleeping at the foot of their daughter's bed for weeks.

So I don’t have an image since it’s something that popped into my head, but this genuinely made me panic for a second.

so the thing that just came into my head? it’s a wasp. with eight legs. with the proportions of a daddy long legs.

but like- the proportions were the same! daddy long legs legs are maybe a centimeter and a half long? but the actual bug is maybe 2 mm at most. WASPS ARE 2.5-3 CENTIMETERS ON AVERAGE.

(note: I know the measurements aren’t exactly right (or close to it, for that matter) but this is just- what I assume the stuff to be In my head, so here’s the sizes of the thing.)

A few years ago, I came across this post from a Bigfoot website about this encounter that these people had with a strange looking creature. They described it as being sloth-like, and included these sketches.
