Digging Deeper
In June 1972, a woman appeared in Cedar Senai hospital in nothing but a white, blood-covered gown.
Now this, in itself, should not be too surprising as people often have accidents nearby and come to the nearest hospital for medical attention, but there were two things that caused people who saw her to vomit and flee in terror.
The first being that she wasn’t exactly human. She resembled something close to a mannequin, but had the dexterity and fluidity of a normal human being. Her face was as flawless as a mannequins, devoid of eyebrows and smeared in make-up.
There was a kitten clamped in her jaws so unnaturally tight that no teeth could be seen, and the blood was still squirting out over her gown and onto the floor. S he then pulled it out of her mouth, tossed it aside and collapsed.
From the moment she stepped through the entrance to when she was taken to a hospital room and cleaned up before being prepped for sedation, she was completely calm, expressionless and motionless. The doctors thought it best to restrain her until the authorities could arrive and she did not protest. They were unable to get any kind of response from her and most staff members felt too uncomfortable to look directly at her for more than a few seconds.
But the second the staff tried to sedate her, she fought back with extreme force. Two members of staff had to hold her down as her body rose up on the bed with that same, blank expression.
She turned her emotionless eyes towards the male doctor and did something unusual. She smiled.
As she did, the female doctor screamed and let go out of shock. In the woman’s mouth were not human teeth, but long, sharp spikes. Too long for her mouth to close fully without causing any damage…
The male doctor stared back at her for a moment before asking “What in the hell are you?”
She cracked her neck down to her shoulder to observe him, still smiling.
There was a long pause, the security had been alerted and could be heard coming down the hallway.
As he heard them approach, she darted forward, sinking her teeth into the front of his throat, ripping out his jugular and letting him fall to the floor, gasping for air as he choked on his own blood.
She stood up and leaned over him, her face coming dangerously close to his as the life faded from his eyes.
She leaned closer and whispered in his ear.
“I… am… God…”
The doctor’s eyes filled with fear as he watched her calmly walk away to greet the security men. His last ever sight would be watching her feast on them one by one.
The female doctor who survived the incident named her “The Expressionless”.
There was never a sighting of her again.

I’m sorry. In what way is this “History”?
It concerns an internet phenomenon as covered at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creepypasta concerning “urban” legends set in the past. This story, for example, is set in the 1970s and was spread around the internet as if true. It therefore reflects the prevalence of these types of stories that present a unique interpretation or memory of the past.
Interesting but gross at the same time. I have never heard of this urban legend before.
I wonder how it got to the point of spreading as a true story if the author came out and said he wrote the story.
This story is extremely terrifying.
This is creepy for sure. The Expressionless is a good title.
I find simply her blank stare much scarier than her bite.
How is it that these stories even start? Everything has some basis in truth, even if it is misguided. Perhaps the hospital was dealing with a mentally ill women or a person under the influence of heavy narcotics. All we can do now is speculate.
Everything about this story is creepy! I have never heard of this story before but now I won’t forget it!!
Kitty, no!
In all seriousness, though, I’ve heard these stories called the modern equivalent of campfire ghost stories, and I tend to think that’s an accurate description. They start how any of those would start, people want to scare other people and be scared themselves. The writer seems to have had a lot of fun with this one. It’s interesting to see them picked up by slightly more main stream media.
I thought the video shown in class was one of the scarier aspects of the semester. I was disappointed to find out that there is no evidence to back it up and that the nurse made up the content.
This story was the only thing this semester to actually freak me out. Slightly glad it was all made up and there is not someone like this wandering around.
Awesome Thriller!
This video actually really creeped me out. When you watch the video you cannot help but get freaked out with her facial expressions waiting for something to happen.
The video is way creepy. The way they made the actress look/act freaks me out. In fact, most of these creepypastas are truly creepy as they were designed to be.
I was so scared watching this in class! So creepy! I am a baby though when it comes to scary stuff.
