About

Horrifying House-guest (also known as Never Alone, Uninvited Guest, or Shadowlurker) is an image macro series featuring a pencil sketch of a creepy, ghost-like figure, with large, sunken eyes and a malicious smile. The overlaid text generally contains micro-narratives referring to creepy and disturbing situations and mental images. A common motif used throughout these captions are stories or imagery that would keep one awake at night such as the fear of having to use the bathroom in the dark, having your feet exposed from the blanket, or hearing creaking noises outside your bedroom door.

Origin

The drawing of the ghost was originally posted on June 28th, 2011 to 4chan's /b/ (random) board[1], where it generated over 200 image replies with captions placed over the original artwork.

Spread

There are also several generator sites for the Horrifying House-guest macros including MemeGenerator[2], Quickmeme[3] and DIYLOL.[11] As of March 2012, an Italian Facebook fan page[15] for Horrifying House Guest has over 3000 likes.
