The source I linked for the top plane is the original photo. There's a lot of copies of the edited version with that pinup added, but I couldn't find a definitive original source for who added it.

I rented a room from my boss in college and he pulled this prank on me. First he hid it in the office and convinced all my coworkers to pretend not to hear it. It would switch between a creepy child's laugh to a man groaning to other random noises. I was pretty sure it was a noisemaker, but I couldn't get anyone else to admit that they could hear it so I couldn't confirm.
Then he moved it into the air vents of his house that I was renting a room in. I started to think I was developing schizophrenia since my mom suffered from it and after I confided as much in my roommate / coworker, he finally came clean and showed me where our boss hid it.
All of this to say, it's a very effective prank.

Back in high school, I saw some meme on 4chan right before bed that said something like "Spooky fact #666: If you wake up at 3:33am, it means someone is watching you". It even included some generic horror movie / demon face and I chuckled to myself because it was so silly and over the top.
Well that night, I randomly woke up, turned to face my clock, and saw it was exactly 3:33am. I was still half asleep but I remembered the meme I saw and thought to myself "How funny would it be if I turned over and saw someone watching me?" So I turned over, thinking I could put my silly fears to back to bed. Except, there was a shadowy figure standing in my open doorway. I was paralyzed with fear and accepted that I was going to be killed by a demon or ghost or whatever paranormal creature decided to fulfill the prophecy of "spooky fact #666" and just closed my eyes and went back to sleep.
I woke up in the morning without any further incidents and assumed it was just a nightmare caused by a dumb meme. I got out of bed and bumped into my mom in the kitchen, and I mentioned the nightmare I had last night about the demon. She laughed to herself and responded, "Oh that was me, I like to watch you sleep at night when I can't sleep." It's been over a decade and I still have waking nightmares sometimes where I think I see shadowy figures standing in my room.

I read a book a while ago called The Annotated Chronicles that included a "boot scene" and the margins included a note from one of the authors about how Kirk inspired the idea. I hadn't seen Star Trek, nor did I know anything about it, so I didn't get the reference until just now. Your meme just resolved a 15-year gap in knowledge for me.
