About

Annie96 is Typing… is a creepypasta written by Pascal Chatterjee that was very popular at the time of its publication in 2014 and again in early 2017 when it became a popular subject for YouTube reaction videos.

Origin

On March 20th, 2014, Chatterjee published "annie96 is typing…" to storiesforyourscreen.com.[1] Billed as "the creepiest chat history you'll ever read," "annie96 is typing…" is framed as a found chat between "annie96," the handle of the character Annie, and "mcdavey," the handle of the character David, on WhatsApp. The creepypasta is uniquely interactive in that in order to read the next message sent in the chat, the user must hit Enter.

While playing around with WhatsApp, I stumbled across a weird chat history between two people I don't know. It scared the hell out of me. When I tried to find it again, the app crashed, and kept crashing. Luckily, I managed to make a copy. Here it is: on3 you asleep?? annie96 01.31 mcdavey 01.31no.. guess you're not either :p Click here or hit Enter to see the next message

In the creepypasta, annie96 texts mcdavey and tells him there is a creepy man wearing his jacket in her garden. David calls the cops. The story progresses to the point where the creepy man breaks into Annie's house, but before he reaches her, things seem to resolve themselves. However, the ending is left ambiguous.

Spread

"annie96 is typing…" was very popular at the time of its publication. At first, it was popular mainly among fans of creepypasta. Two weeks after it was first posted, a link was shared in /r/creepy[2] and gained 1,167 karma. Interest in the story seemed to be fading until May 15th, when it and the hashtag #annie96 began trending on Twitter. On that day, hundreds of Twitter users shared the story and speculated if the story was indeed fictional. The story's spread brought the attention of some media outlets, including Denmark blog Entwickler[3] and The Irish Times.[4] Meanwhile, a fan theory about the events written by Wattpad user BRIELismyname[5] began spreading on Twitter at the same time as the story due to the author's poor use of grammar. The Wattpad post, shown below, has over 72,500 views and 500 favorites (spoilers for "annie96 is typing…" below)

Johny is gay and he confessed his love for Dave but Dave rejected him because he likes Annie that's why they said he had issues. Johny didn't handle the rejection well that's why he decided to kill Annie. He knew that Annie was alone because he eavesdropped on their conversation. He went to her house wearing a jacket same as Dave because he is obssed with him. But on the way to Annie's House he stepped on a Cat turns out he was Psychotic. That's why he dugged a grave for Annie using his bare hands and when he looked up the window Annie was there. He smiled as thought about her and not in a sexual way. He broke in the house and search for Annie. He later found her in a closet holding a knife and her phone. He swipped the knife from her hands and killed her with it. He took Annie's phone and saw Dave's user. He told him to come to Annie's house. He buried the body and waited for Dave then he kept chanting "If I can't have him, no one can." 253
