About

Creepy Chan, is the online pseudonym of fashion model Allison Harvard, whose photos were shared on 4chan as early as 2005. Known for her large eyes and peculiar interests like fascination with blood, she earned several nicknames on the site including Tussin Chan, Cute Chan, Allicat and Queen of /x/ (paranormal) board. In 2009, she gained mainstream notoriety after appearing as a contestant on the reality television show America's Next Top Model.

Origin

At 14, Allison Harvard joined Myspace[13] and DeviantArt[14] where she posted photos of herself with haunting themes, sometimes using makeup, fake blood and costumes in effort to experiment with her photography skills. As of April 2012, the photos have been deleted from the original sites, but they have been archived[15] on LiveJournal.

Although she never posted photos of herself on 4chan, they were shared on the image board site as early as 2005. Harvard later stated that by the time she was 16, friends would email her links to threads where people were calling her “Creepy-chan” or “Creepy little friend.” The earliest archived 4chan thread referring to Harvard as Creepy-chan was posted on May 25th, 2007.[17]

Spread

In August 2006, a user on MyDeathSpace, a forum dedicated to finding social networking profiles of deceased people, started a thread entitled “Creepiest people on Myspace”[18], using pictures of Harvard as an example. Two years later, her photos were posted on the gaming forum NeoGAF[20] to derail a Disaster Girl photoshop thread.

There are more than 4000 pieces of fan art featuring Creepy Chan on deviantArt[7] and numerous single-topic blogs.[8][9][10][21] Similar images can be also found under Tumblr tags "Creepy Chan"[11] and "Allison Harvard,"[12] as well as "creepychan"[19] on Instagram.
