'''Jeff The Killer''', also called '''Killer Jeff''', is a famous [[creepypastas|creepypasta]], fictional character, and image commonly used in [[Screamer|screamers]].

The creepypasta surrounding the image suggests that the person in the image is a 13-year-old serial killer named Jeff who sneaks into people's homes and whispers "Go to sleep" before killing them with a knife. | '''Jeff The Killer''', also called '''Killer Jeff''', is a famous [[creepypastas|creepypasta]], fictional character, and image commonly used in [[Screamer|screamers]].

This image became controversial when it was believed to be of a supposed woman named "Katy Robinson," who had allegedly committed suicide in 2008. This belief originated on [[4chan]] in 2008, but after years of extensive research, it was revealed that the image originated on a Japanese message board website called pya.cc in 2005.<ref name=":0">docs.google.com/document/d/1QN-ekAPPiW-b2iCGDikyseemBV73ek_7ZB7EgRVQHSI</ref> This more famous image, in particular, is also an edited version of another earlier version, called White powder (2) (also called JTK 1), which appears to be an edited image of a person with googly, cartoon eyes and a large smile. The former file name of this image was "prettyFACE.jpg" before it was posted onto pya.cc.<ref name=":0" /> The more famous version was further edited in Adobe Photoshop to make the mouth stretch out using the liquify tool and the eyes edited to have white and black pupils. | This image became controversial when it was believed to be of a supposed woman named "Katy Robinson," who had allegedly committed suicide in 2008.

The | The Creepypasta revolves around Jeffery Woods, a 13-year-old boy living in a suburban town with his family. After a move to a new neighborhood, Jeff and his brother Liu encounter three bullies who mug them at knifepoint. In self-defense, Jeff fights back and paralyzes the bullies. However, when the police arrive, Jeff and Liu are wrongly accused of attacking the bullies. Liu, feeling pressured, implicates Jeff in the incident, leading Jeff into a state of depression. Seeking to lift Jeff's spirits, his mother suggests attending a party. In a moment of rage, Jeff confronts the bullies and brutally beats them, resulting in the death of one.
