So I made a short creepypasta, and I'm here to see if it's any good, here we go. It's called "Pleasant Memories".

Pleasant Memories was a short film I remember my Mom bringing home one night. It came in a quality case, with a picture and everything. The picture was that of a woman and a dog standing next to each other on the right of the title, Pleasant Memories. The film was completely true, and was a documentary film filmed about a woman named Eve Carriet whose husband had died and shortly after her five year old child had died as well. She got a dog before her son has died, and the film was about her and her dog, and what they did together. The film was nice and very heartwarming, and I watched it once about every half a year after we got it. However, around the third or fourth time watching it, I noticed that in every scene, a figure was seen standing in the background. The figure was tall and white, and in certain scenes when the figure was closer, a face of agony and sadness, almost depression, was seen on its face. The figure never interfered with the film or came within twelve feet of the camera, however it was almost always there, standing there, watching the camera. I eventually decided to figure out what the figure was about, and I looked up the movie "Pleasant Memories" on the web browser. Many results came up about it, including an entire wiki dedicated to it, and surprisingly it was quite popular. I consulted the wiki first, looking for answers. I looked up whatever I could think of... "Background Figure", "Tall Figure", "Tall Man". I was about to give up when I searched up "Sad Man". One result came up, titled "Sad Creature". I clicked the page eagerly, I wanted to know what the hell it was, why it was in a film for younger audiences. The page read:

The Sad Creature is a figure that appears in the background of the majority of this movie. Its face appears hollow and empty, with no eyes or nose, just eye sockets and a mouth, twisted into a sad expression. Many speculate that it was edited in as a little Easter Egg, however a small amount of people theorize that it was not edited in. Out of that small group, a few believe that it may actually be the spirit of Carriet's little child. The autopsy on the body of her child done on the police had proven that the child had been murdered, however the murderer had put on gloves to avoid fingerprints, and somehow had not left any fingerprints on the gloves either from when they put it on. Nobody hated her child, and they lived far away from civilization. So it was thought to be someone close to the child, but the only family he had at the time was his mother. She was ruled out by the police, as she loved her son very much and would never harm him. But the people who believe that the Sad Creature is the son's spirit believe she in fact did kill him, and the face on the Sad Creature was the last face the son wore before he was killed.

I was shocked, to say the least. I didn't know what to think... could this really be true? I decided to look at the movie one last time... but this time, I didn't play the main movie. I played the deleted parts of the documentary, which I had never watched before. The deleted parts mostly consisted of Eve either walking the dog or feeding her. But the Sad Creature was nowhere to be seen. I lazily clicked to the last deleted part. This consisted of her walking  the dog like most of the other deleted parts, however this time the Sad Creature was there, standing in a field. She looked into the field, and saw the Sad Creature. She suddenly dropped to her knees and began sobbing uncontrollably, mumbling something about "I'M SORRY CODY!". The deleted scene cut there. Confused, I went to my computer and looked up "Eve Carriet", as I assumed I might find something about who Cody was there. I clicked on the first result, which contained a lot of information. However in the last paragraph, I read "While Carriet still had her Dog Daisy, she was devastated over the loss of her husband John Carriet, and the mysterious killing of her son Cody Carriot." The next day, I got the newspaper and read. As I read, my eyes widened. The newspaper proved that what the theorists said was correct with one page: "KILLER OF CODY CARRIET FOUND! Yesterday, creator and actress of the movie documentary 'Pleasant Memories', Eve Carriet, confessed to the murder of her son Cody. She was arrested and is currently serving a life sentence at the prison. When asked why she did it, she said 'I saw him... I saw him in the field...'."
