> [@riker1384](#): > > All I get is a title screen and some video-game-like music. Am I missing something? There’s some text that points out that he’s in a wheelchair, lives in a nursing home, and his charge stemmed from groping a nurse. (Which is definetly a bad thing, no doubt, but it’s not like he was molesting little kids, or something.) Then it lays a guilt trip on everyone who circulated the photo or made jokes about him, and then loops back to the beginning. ---

Can someone please tell me what’s so creepy about the Brian Peppers guy so I don’t have to click on any links and scare myself to death? ---

The letter from his brother also states that he has very poor muscle control and that he claims he was trying to get his nurse’s attention when he accidentally ripped her skirt. The letter is worth reading. ---

Of course, it’s fake, but the concept of that kind of ghost around is muy scario. Now, however, to me, this pic is just a photoshop of somebody in the Walmart mask that they use in the Scream movies. hh ---

I apologize for my supidity. But is this the guy with the really big eyes? I think I have seen the picture but I didn’t know his name was Brian Peppers. ---

Probably the one you’re thinking of…but there’s no way to be sure until you…CLICK THE LINK! DO IT DO IT DO IT!!! MWAHAHAHAH… Yeah, his eyes are pretty large and goggly for his face. But then, everything in his face is misproportioned. **Guin** was referring to the pic in the OP, of course (but evidently missed the fact that you were not). ---

Just a bunch of beautiful little girls dressed in their Easter outfits and playing on the swings. And, oh, did I mention all of the lovely flowers? What a pleasant evening you shall begin to have just as soon as you click on the links. Go ahead! That’s it…just move the mouse…that’s right, up to the little sentence with the line under it…yes, you’re doing the right thing. {/lies-all-lies} hh ---

When I clicked on this thread, I thought it was going to be about [this](http://www.snopes.com/photos/medical/nepalbaby.asp). WARNING: The image is very scary, not for people who are expecting a baby. I saw it earlier this week and I still get the heebie-jeebies thinking about it. ---
