Creepy presents the 31 days of horror.
Day 16.
This is creepy.
A podcast dedicated to sharing the most famous chilling and disturbing creepy pastors
and urban legends in the world.
Whether these stories truly happened or our simply fabrications is for you to decide.
These stories may contain graphic depictions of violence and explicit language.
Listener discretion is advised.
Hello, Michelle.
Nurse Natalie let me know that you have a dream that you'd like to talk through with me.
Yeah, it was really uncomfortable.
Was there anything in particular about it that made you feel uncomfortable?
Yeah, a lot, but also the fact that I was dressing up as a clown.
I hate clowns. I have every sense I saw the It miniseries when I was little.
Yes, cholerophobia is a very common fear. Tell me more about your dream. I might be able to get a better understanding of any possible symbolism.
Thank you, Doctor. The dream wasn't just about clowns. It was about Fifi. I was a clown for Halloween every year.
Up until the Halloween, I was seven years old, that is.
I didn't go as a clown by choice, but by my childish complacency to my grandma's orders.
She coaxed me into a new clown outfit every year handmade by her.
She spent hours at her sewing machine ensuring every detail was perfect,
from the garish stripes to the gaudy ruffles adorning the collar.
After dressing me in her colorful creation, she had applied layers of cakey makeup to my face,
followed by a wig of curly hair that changed color yearly.
Right before I went out the door with my empty pillowcase, eager to be filled up with candy,
she had pop a red rubber nose onto my face and instruct me to say goodbye to Fifi.
Fifi lived on top of the kitchen cupboard above the refrigerator, looking at the
down on us both. She was ancient, having been passed down through the generations of our family
before reaching Grandma. Grandma collected lots of knick-knacks and curios, as many elderly people do,
but none seemed to dominate her home in quite the same manner as Fifi did. Just like my Halloween
costume proclaimed me to be, Fifi presented herself as an overdressed clown. She was decked
out an antiquated orange and red festival garb. Her sagging face had an aged shade of white and
sported fading theatrical makeup. Bells dangled from her lumpy shoes and her look was completed
with a pointy dunces cap. I don't know how to really explain it, but her beady, smiling eyes
could see all that went on beneath her. I wasn't afraid of her. I was simply always nagged by a
lingering whisper of unease whenever I was home. Although Fifi was just a hand-sown cloth doll,
made by some odd ancestor of mine at least a hundred years ago, I had never seen her as just a
decorative toy. Fifi was a member of our family, whether Grandma acknowledged her as such or not.
That said, our family was comparatively small to begin with. It was just me and Grandma otherwise.
And Fifi was definitely a willing, if not able, participant in the household.
Looking back, I admit that Fifi's commanding presence was probably amplified by the absence of my mother.
Scattered among her collections of antiquities, grandma had many photos of my mother, trying to keep her in my life, even though she was very much dead.
She hadn't lived long enough for me to know her.
I felt like she was a distant memory of myself.
Some part of me so detached I couldn't absorb her into my being.
One of her pictures really stood out to me.
Sometimes I'd sit on the living room floor and stare at it for hours,
imagining scenarios within the photo and inserting myself into them.
The picture was of my mother as a little girl, taken on at Halloween long ago.
She was wearing an outrageously designed clown costume, similar to the ones I had worn over the years.
It honestly could have been me in the picture, the only indication it wasn't being the time stamp in the corner,
just barely covered by its wooden frame.
Grandma rarely spoke of her, so she became a sort of imaginary woman I had built up in my mind.
From the details of this specific photo, I saw her as a stranger with a bright,
costume and overdone makeup. Anyhow, I'm deviating too far from my story, which centers on the
event when I decided I was tired of being a clown every year for Halloween. I told Grandma
so in as much as these same words, but she responded with a stubborn shake of her jolly head,
followed by a singular no. That was the end of it, and I knew better than to argue with Grandma.
Neither of us were big talkers, and even at seven years old, I never spoke much unless I was spoken to.
Grandma didn't like people who made much of a fuss and woe befal me if I ever became one of those people.
She smiled pleadingly and began to remind me how much fun I had trick-or-treating as a clown in the previous years.
I obediently humored her gentle persuasions, vowing secretly to turn my back on the clown charade the
first chance I got. Though I was young, I had sensed the weird looks from the neighborhood
children and their parents last year, when I had gone trick-or-treating as a clown for the sixth
Halloween in a row. I wasn't going to be the weird one out of my group of peers again.
The day before Halloween, I started putting my defiant plan into action. I stole a pair of scissors
from Grandma's sewing basket while she was outside getting the mail. Fee-fi watched me with
her dead blank eyes as I snuck out of the kitchen with them. I felt a pang of guilt at
disobeying grandma, and at the moment I almost thought I saw Fifi raise her eyebrows at me in an
expression of disapproval. I ran upstairs with the scissors and hid them in my sock drawer, resolving
that I wouldn't let any silly misgivings hold me back. Fifi was just a doll. I loathed her cunning
smile and her ugly clown ensemble. I swore I'd never go back to trick-or-treating as a stupid clown
ever again. Grandma spent all evening putting the finishing touches on her latest creation,
giddy in anticipation of me wearing it tomorrow. Finally, she put me to bed and I pretended to be
asleep for about an hour. Once I heard gentle snoring from her bedroom down the hall,
I slipped out of bed as quietly as I could.
Then procured the scissors from my sock drawer and pulled the starched white sheet off my mattress.
Working quickly, I flung the sheet over my head and cut two jagged circles for eye holes.
I admired my work in the mirror before stowing away the sheet for the following night,
when I would dress as a simple but scary ghost instead of the tired, repeated clown.
Feeling thirsty and over-excited, I decided to head to the kitchen for some milk to help me get back to sleep.
I tiptoed down the hallway to the kitchen, holding my breath to make sure I could still hear
grandma snores. The dark kitchen was silent, except for the hum of the refrigerator.
I fumbled the door open and reached for the milk carton, lifted it to my mouth, and began sucking
down the cold liquid greedily. Out of habit, I nervously glanced up at the cupboard where
Fifi sat like a queen on her throne. The gleam of the refrigerator light swung softly on her
grinning face, illuminating her glassy eyes. Her grins seemed to widen, pulling up the lips
until her cloth skin was tearing to accommodate her glaring teeth. I immediately looked down,
too frightened to keep eye contact with her changing features. I shut my eyes, counted to ten,
and opened them again, anxiously searching the darkness for her outline on top of the cupboard.
Nothing was there. Not so much.
much as a shadow. I turned back to the bright light of the fridge, my small hand gripping the milk
carton with all my might. Suddenly, before I even had time to see it coming, a wicked painted face
swung around the side of the fridge door into full view. I screamed with terror as the door slammed
shut on my hand and I lost hold of the milk carton. I felt milk sloshing everywhere as I heard
the carton hit the floor. A second later, the kitchen light flipped on, blinding me, grabbed.
Grandma wasn't pleased to find me out of bed, much less seeing the mess I'd made,
but her first concern was seeing Fifi sprawled out on the floor a foot away from the puddle of milk.
She rushed to scoop her up and was relieved to find her unharmed.
We cleaned up the milk as she surmised that Fifi must have fallen off the cupboard and startled me.
I took a quick bath in changed pajamas, still feeling a bit distressed when Grandma tucked me in for a second time.
She assured me things would look brighter in the morning,
and I still barely slept a wink that night.
I kept imagining I saw Fifi leering at me from the edge of my bed.
I awoke Halloween morning with dark circles around my eyes,
not much unlike the ones I decorated my sheet with the previous night.
I jumped from bed, grabbing my costume from its hiding place,
stuffing in into my backpack for later use.
I hurriedly got ready for school,
scarfed down my breakfast and kissed Grandma on the cheek as I went out the door.
I called a reluctant goodbye to Fifi as Grandma expected me to.
The clown's smile seemed less gruesome in the light of day,
but I caught a devious glean in the corner of her taunting eyes.
Once outside, I concealed my sheet in the bushes near our doorstep and ran to catch the bus.
The Halloween party at school was a bore,
and I was practically jumping out of my skin in anticipation.
patient of trick-or-treating by the end of the day. When I arrived home, Grandma was waiting to
rustle me into my new clown outfit and gloat over her handiwork. I sat still for an hour as she
slathered my face in a kaleidoscope of costume makeup, and I patiently smiled through her
photo shoot of me with our jack-o-lanterns outside. Hers was carved into a laughing clown face,
of course. I finally waved her goodbye as I ran off down.
the sidewalk with an empty pillowcase in hand, soon to be filled with candy. I waited a few blocks
away from our house until I felt I was in the clear. I circled back home, keeping a sharp lookout
for Grandma's face in the window. Crouching down in the bushes, I eagerly recovered my sheet.
I pulled it over the bald cap and ridiculous curly sideburns that grandma had completed my
clown get up with. The garish clown child became invisible, and the little white ghost was
invincible. I came home feeling like I was on top of the world that night. My pillowcase overflowed with
candy and I was no longer ostracized in the neighborhood. I ripped off my sheet and bundled in
into the trash can outside our house, straightened my wig and went inside. Grandma seemed unbothered
by my smudged makeup, chalking it up to kids being kids. I went to sleep with a stomachache from all
the sugar I'd consumed, but my heart had never felt so good. In the middle of the night, I woke up
needing to use the bathroom. I stumbled down the hallway and did my business, but as I went to
return to bed, I noticed the kitchen light was on. Grandma must have forgot to turn it off before
she went to sleep. I lethargically approached the kitchen and reached for the light switch.
The scene I came upon has haunted me for the rest of my life.
Grandma lay on the floor, eyes wide open in horror, unmoving.
Her mouth was stuffed full of candy wrappers.
There were open wrappers everywhere surrounding her limp body.
Colorful candy was smeared on her pallid eyelids, cheeks, and lips,
giving the appearance of a clown's face paint.
The makeup stained sheet with two eye holes cut into it was wrapped tightly around her neck.
leaving bruising up and down her throat.
I stood gaping, helplessly in sleepy shock for a while,
finally looked up at the cupboard above the refrigerator.
Fifi was nowhere to be seen.
Years later, as an adult, I look back on this traumatic experience from a logical viewpoint.
I was told by countless police and social workers that my grandmother had been murdered,
But I can't get over the fact that the perpetrator was never caught.
I've also never gotten over the phobia of clowns I developed after that night.
I can't so much as walk past a spirit Halloween with a clown decoration in the window
without seizing up and going into full body chills.
My therapist told me it's a childlike response I established to shield me from the violence
that was committed against my grandma that Halloween so long.
ago. But I know in my heart of hearts that Grandma's death was my fault. Fifi demanded adoration and
worship, and I had failed to appease her. Grandma had tried to placate Fifi by having me
dress as a clown every year. And if I hadn't defied them both, Grandma would have lived to see
another Halloween. I was going through some of grandma's old belongings today and happened upon an old
musty-smelling box. Moths flew out as I lifted the lid. I felt my heart stop as I saw the grotesquely
painted face that lay inside. Fifi grinned up at me, her cloth body molding with age. Her hideous smile
was just as big as the last time I'd seen her.
What do you think it means?
There really is no certainty when it comes to dreams.
But let's look at how rich your dream was with repetition, obedience,
and an almost ritual sense of performance.
You were the clown, yes.
But you were also a witness to our own submission.
The costumes, the makeup,
the careful preparation by your grandmother.
They weren't just about Halloween.
They were about training you to follow the rules that were not your own,
to participate in a cycle you didn't choose.
What about the doll, Fifi?
I think it's safe to say that she is far more than cloth and stuffing.
In the dream, she watches everything.
She is judgment, expectation.
and legacy. Her gaze follows you even when you think she's gone. That unease you felt isn't
fear. It's recognition. You are never truly free from the watchful eyes that shape you.
Why have I felt so tense since waking up? The real tension isn't just the fear of clowns or
dolls. It's the awareness that...
in this case the sheet comes with cost and that some watchers are patient they wait they remember they can shape the consequences long after the initial act of rebellion
how do we get over this feeling by remembering that you are safe here that you are surrounded by people here to help you through all of this
Thank you, doctor.
What the hell is that?
Don't talk.
Stop asking questions.
You won't remember the answers anyway.
Stop messing around and just tell them about your dream so we can get out of here.
They are here to help.
Get that through your head.
Tell them the damn dream and stop resisting so they can help.
And what if I tell you to go fuck yourself instead?
Are you fucking kidding me?
The silent treatment?
You're just going to stand on the other side of that little window and stare at me?
Do you think I got better things to do?
Fine.
Let's see who breaks first.
Fine.
Do you want to hear about my dreams?
Do you want to hear the kind of shit that I still see when I wake up?
Fine.
Let's see how you like hearing screams from space.
Since 1979, people have been under the impression that, as the saying goes, in space, no way.
No one can hear you scream.
But that doesn't mean there isn't screaming going on.
Like the tree falling in the forest philosophical thought experiment?
Trust me, the sounds are happening whether you're around to hear them or not.
Did you know the nebulaes scream?
You can look it up.
My favorite's the helix nebula.
Sometimes it's called the eye of God because it literally looks like a big blue eye in space staring back at us.
It's about 600 light years away, so don't spend too much time looking up and just check out some of the pictures from the Hubble.
I mean, they don't really scream.
But we figured out this thing called sonification.
Basically, it's a way to translate data from astronomical images into sound.
Beyond sounding scary as hell, it's actually a really useful way for scientists map different characteristics of the nebulas by translating the brightness and colors into different pitches and volumes.
They get data?
We get nightmares.
Fair trade.
That was the first time I heard a scream from space.
I'm a manufacturing engineer for a company that shall remain unnamed.
My job is to work on the actual EMUs,
extra vehicular mobility units,
spacesuits.
I work on spacesuits.
I like working on spacesuits.
I may never go to space.
Actually, I know I'll never go to space.
But there was a time when I took a lot of pride in my work,
knowing that I contributed in some small way to space exploration.
Plus, it pays really well.
It wasn't completely out of the blue when I got notified that I'd be working directly with NASA on a project.
But the location was something I didn't expect.
I've gone out and done some months I work in testing before.
Those were all at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston,
since that's where their neutral buoyancy lab and their thermal vacuum chamber are located.
Some of my coworkers have also gone out to remote locations in the Mojave.
Devon Island was a first for any of us.
Sure, we were familiar with the existence of Devon Island.
The Devon Island Research Station was established in 1960
and has most recently been used for Mars lander testing.
It's the closest thing on Earth that we have not.
the Mars environment, freezing temps, isolation at him near the top of the world, zero indigenous
population, perfect. The question was, why would I go there? I had nothing to do with the Mars
missions past or present outside of the usual EMU research. To the best of my knowledge,
they'd never tested suits out there, so it made me kind of excited to think that maybe there was
a new manned mission to Mars project in the works.
I mean, there was a possibility that it was about the Artemis 2 or 3 project.
That didn't quite seem right.
Just something about the information provided felt off.
There was a different level of secrecy and urgency.
Despite there being no commercial airport at Devon Island, less than a day later,
I found myself landing there in a private plane.
From there it was right to the research facility.
I asked a few questions but didn't get much more than vagaries about being briefed when I got on site.
I remember being annoyed at the time, but in hindsight, I can't blame any of them.
There really weren't any words they could have said to me that would have conveyed what just a few seconds of visuals would later reveal.
Even when I tell you, it won't be enough to fully understand what I saw.
So officially, there isn't a space shuttle program at NASA anymore.
There hasn't been since 2011, actually.
It surprises me how few people seem to know that.
Probably because of all the billionaire in space bullshit that takes up everyone's attention.
All the attention is focused on Artemis and missions to the ISS.
Still, do you always believe what you're told?
I used to be like that.
I guess sometimes I still do, but I've seen things.
I've seen the truth as it exists.
Truth that it shouldn't exist.
I was brought into a fairly small pop-up facility that was unlike anything I'd ever worked in.
I felt more like a field medic or one of those doctors without borders.
The equipment we had set up was fine, but a little dated.
The structure itself looked like it was on loan from FEMA.
Not exactly the environment and budget I was used to.
The questions started pretty fast, and I did my best to answer them in kind as I was ushered around the facility without actually being told anything.
What's the typical operating pressure of an EMU?
4.3 PSI?
What's the maximum operating pressure?
Um, between 3.5 and 5.8 PSI?
Why?
Is this a job interview or something?
Okay, we maintain a lower pressure than the typical 14.7 PSI at sea level to balance having enough oxygen for respiration while maintaining flexibility from movement.
How long is life support duration?
It depends on a lot of factors, including what kind of suit it is, but anywhere from 30 minutes to 8 hours or so.
I wasn't following the line of questioning at all.
I felt like I was being vetted for questions that Google could have answered.
It wasn't for about another 60 seconds that I realized
it was because they had absolutely no idea what was going on.
And in situations like that, the mind tends to revert to reflex and what it already knows.
If I'd known, I would have taken more time to enjoy that last minute of my life without knowing.
Finally, they led me to one last building that didn't look as makeshift as the others.
It looked more like an advanced Arctic research base, and brand new.
You'd think it still had the tags and stickers on it from the setup.
Inside, though, things were set up differently.
A room inside a room, inside a room.
Each with security guards and access codes.
My confusion and annoyance turned into hesitation, and I'm not ashamed to say, a little fear.
I watched the X-Files growing up, and I felt the very real possibility that anyone I was interacting with would have no issues if I suddenly was not a part of this world anymore.
When I finally saw why I was there, I didn't immediately understand.
Inside was what I can only really describe as a standalone bank vault, about 10 meters square.
At the far end of the room, an EMU was hanging limply on the wall.
I looked at my escorts, but they just nodded towards a suit.
When I asked what they wanted me to do, they just said that they wanted to know what happened.
Then, as I took a step closer to the suit,
I felt a serious hand to grab my bicep and hold me in place.
He then motioned toward a yellow line that bisected the room
and told me to step up to the line, but not cross it.
He said it in the kind of way that made me know in my heart that's stepping across that line,
would probably be the last thing I'd do one way or another.
I don't know how long it took me to will my feet up to that line,
but it was too quick for my liking.
I could feel my heart pounding.
My palms were sweating.
It was worse than when I had to defend my PhD dissertation.
It's funny.
At the time, I thought I couldn't be more scared or nervous about what my future held.
I was so wrong.
Nothing happened.
until I was about a foot from that line.
My eyes had been going between the suit and the line,
so admittedly I wasn't completely focused.
But I could have sworn in that moment
that I saw the suit move on its own.
Just an inch or so,
like the helmet had started to rise up to look at me,
which was impossible unless...
Unless someone was in the suit.
It wasn't a joke.
It couldn't be a joke.
No one goes to these kinds of.
of lengths for a prank, unless I was getting transferred and really pissed someone off along the way.
Turns out it was the opposite.
I was too good at my job.
I guess my name had floated around about a guy who came up with out-of-the-box answers.
Just not this out-of-the-box.
As I towed the line, I realized two things.
One, there was definitely someone inside the suit.
Two, the suit wasn't hanging from the wall.
It was floating.
It wasn't moving like some ghost dancing in the wind, bouncing up and down.
It was just frozen in the air.
And the helmet was definitely moving.
I tested it, stepping side to side, and it definitely followed me.
I could see the distorted image of myself in the golden visor assembly,
like a funhouse mirror moving side.
side to side tracking me.
I turned back to the group who
escorted me into the room, only to
see that all but one person had left at
some point without me realizing it.
Well, him
and the two guards in full gear with automatic
weapons.
He was just a guy.
Normal height and weight, brown hair, all that.
Nothing special about him except
for the manila folder he held to his chest
with his eyes locked on the ground,
as if waiting for the firing squad
and praying that the folder could stop at both.
it. I backed up, never completely letting the suit out of my line of sight until I was close to the
man. I thought I felt the guards tense as I approached, but they didn't move. When I asked the
man what was going on, I could see his body slump like you've been holding his breath the entire time.
I practically shoved the file folder in my face, and the moment I took it disappeared out the door.
So it was just me, two-armed guards, and a space suit.
I began to scan through the report in the folder.
That was when I first learned that the last moon landing, Apollo 17, on December 11, 1972,
wasn't exactly the last.
Like anyone else who knows that we did actually go to the moon,
I was also the mindset that I knew why we never went back.
Beyond the cost, we really didn't need to do the Cold War posturing anymore.
Technologically, we just weren't prepared to do anything with the moon.
That doesn't mean that there's no value to be had.
Always follow the money.
I guess while the lens seemed to shift towards Mars, someone was still looking at the moon for other possibilities.
Not just mining the resources like iron and titanium, but also in the search for helium-3,
that could potentially be used in nuclear fusion.
and even the water ice found at the bottom of permanently shadowed craters could be used for terraforming.
Now wanting to create even more international attention, these efforts were kept under lock and key.
Then the lock was painted camouflage, and any record of the lock existing were wiped out.
Hence the added secrecy.
It'd be bad enough for the information to leak when things were going well.
But when something went wrong, something in the file was.
was redacted.
I hadn't noticed before, but there was another line beyond the yellow line, one in red,
about three quarters of the way across the room.
Per the file, reaction from the suit begins near the yellow line and increases as one approaches
the red line.
Movement beyond the red line is forbidden.
I looked at the guards again and saw the forbidden in their eyes.
From what was actually available in the file, there had been some of the guards.
some kind of a burst of energy on the lunar rover.
Two of the astronauts had been in their suits,
but two others had not,
and still suffered similar fates.
I walked forward and passed the yellow line.
As I did, there was more movement from the suit.
First, it was just a helmet moving,
but then it looked like the chest was rising and lowering,
as if breathing,
which also didn't make any sense
because that's not how EMUs work.
I heard two clicks behind me and assumed it was the safety's being flicked off the big guns.
By the time I was almost at the red line, the redacted pieces started to come together
because in that moment the visor went up.
What I saw then was a face.
But not the face of a man in a spacesuit.
I mean the skin from a face, as if it had been peeled off and plastered inside.
stretched completely across the polycarbonate plastic visor.
I couldn't see eyes, just black behind the holes, that had been eyes.
It was like a Halloween mask, pulled drumtight against the inside of the visor.
Gradually I got more details.
After the burst of energy, all communications have been cut off with the rover,
but instead of floating off into space, it continued on its course,
slingshoting around the moon and crashing back to Earth in our space change.
junkyard, point Nemo, thousands of miles away from anything.
There was an incident with the recovery team that got to the land at first.
Three men who went into the capsule, not returning.
Only their screams were heard before the capsule was sealed again and transported to Devon Island.
Turns out that the recovery team was all dead.
Their skin literally pulled from their flesh and thrown into a pile like old laundry.
The two astronauts who hadn't been in suits were found fused to the control panel.
Parts of their body completely indistinguishable from the metal and equipment it was stuck to.
And despite missing most of their major organs and a good portion of their brains,
their eyes still moved around the cabin, following anyone who came close.
And a perpetual sound seemed to come out of their mouths like dial-up internet.
As for the suited-up astronauts, it was a much.
much different for them.
They'd been fused to the inside of their suits.
Their skin pulled from the bone, fusing to the inner nylon lining of the suit, or in
the case of their faces, to the visors.
It wasn't a full flaying, though.
Tendons still held the skin to the bodies within, like twisted marionettes.
Three more texts died trying to get them out of the capsule.
There's only when a bullet pierced the sternum of the suit in defense.
that it fell over and a medical team was able to rush in to see exactly what had happened.
The first astronaut died not much after his helmet was removed, screaming in pain.
His only recorded words being,
Unburden your flesh.
The second astronaut was placed in isolation where he remained docile,
as long as no one crossed the red line.
They wanted specs on the suit.
They wanted information on the origin of different materials,
the reactions, the different radiations, anything that could even begin to account for what was going on.
But I didn't and still don't have answers for them.
I worked on it for weeks until one morning I was dismissed and sent home,
after assigning a lot of incredibly threatening forms that I don't really give a shit about anyway.
Maybe I wouldn't have shared this under other circumstances,
but there was one thing worse than seeing that horrible plastered death men,
worse than any implications of exactly how terrifying our solar system could be.
See, spacesuits aren't soundproof.
You can still hear someone talking inside them.
Maybe not great, but sound still travels.
So I thought the suit and what was left inside of it were silent.
But one day in an attempt to try and communicate with the astronaut, the intercom link and the suit was turned on.
But all I heard, all anyone heard,
was the screaming, constant, deep, more painful than anything ever was, and I still hear it.
I can't stop hearing it.
Sometimes I look up to where the helix nebula is in the sky, and I wonder, are the screams there real?
I can't see it with my naked eyes, but God help me, I can still hear it, make it stop.
There.
Happy now?

You know, I'm not going to believe this bullshit tomorrow, right?
I'm not stupid.
You can't keep me here.
I'll find a way out with or without you.
His reactions have been fascinating, haven't they?
He's the exact same person each day until we vary the stimuli.
Should we be worried about him getting more aggressive?
Worried?
I'm counting on it.
