Scary Stories and CreepyPasta's!

The Goatman

The story follows a teenager who goes down to Alabama to be with his extended family. While he, his cousins and their friends are camping out in the woods, they see a strange figure - the Goatman - jerking and spouting gibberish as it follows them. They spend the rest of the night in fear as the Goatman slowly infiltrates the group, terrorizing the teens into a frenzied state of paranoia.

This mix of pre-existing lore and new narrative is not rare for creepypastas, but it's the strength of the writing that really makes this particular story worth sharing. There are variations of this story, but most follow a similar formula where a group is stalked by the titular monster with different outcomes.
