The viral creepypasta named ‘Smile Dog’ has made it’s way to the real world.
If you don’t know what the creepypasta smile dog is, here is some info: Smile Dog’s story consists of a classic horror set-up – an amateur writer visits the house of a lady who supposedly has a story for which he can borrow from. Rather than speak, however, the lady has locked herself up in her room, crying and ranting about nightmares and visions and various other problems. All of these center around a floppy disk she had been given that contain the image smile.jpg – which is smile.dog. Other cases of this have cropped up…
Viewing this image incites insanity, and no copy of the exact image exists on the web though likenesses of it do. The true image of smile.jpg is recognized due to the effect it has on the viewer – that is, they wind up dead. Attaching the file – that is, spreading the word, is the only way to save oneself from the smile.dog that appears in one’s dreams demanding to spread the word. Some say that the original legend began with an image of the devil.
Now that you know what it is, here’s what’s currently happening.
A few days ago, a post on 4chan contained an image of an unsettling Siberian Husky at a forest at nighttime. The dog looked very similar to the one in the original creepypasta photo. A few days later, the 4chan user was found dead. Police officials think it has something to do with the image. The image causes a certain feeling that may cause suicide. The story has many worried but we are here to help. Here is how to stay safe:
• Do NOT open any email or message with the file smile.jpg.
• Turn OFF private messages on social media.
• Try to limit your time on the internet.
• NEVER have someone to tell you to open a file.
• Try to stay off of 4chan.
That’s all for now. We will keep you all updated on the current situation.
