CreepyPastas Folklore around the world; my own mind

Untitled Part 1

Our hunger for anything scary has always existed in some way, folklore being one of them. As children we heard our fair share of,"don't do this or so and so will get you" or the "so and so lurks around around every corner, just waiting for a misdeed to be done". We never really know HOW this happened, maybe its how we are as humans or is it something deeper?

Creepypasta happens to be one of those things where we fear but also seem to enjoy, our unsustainable hunger for it has not yet to stop, from Slenderman to Jeff the killer, from smile.jpg to Ben drowned. From our childhood games and fears, to our adult fears.

Why not in the beginning of when Creepypasta began? or rather further then that? No date really can be said of when such things to exist since most 'in culture' during the early years of ; some form of "lore" exists in different forms,as shown in this paragraph i read.

"There are many forms of chain that threaten death or the taking of one's soul by telling tales of others deaths, such as the Katu Lata Kulu chain , stating that if it is not forwarded, the receivers of the message will be by the spirit. Another involved an involving a homicidal Mickey Mouse, who will intrude the recipient's domain to kill him or her unless sent to the number of recipients (25). Any lower they will suffer death, injury, paranoia, and bad luck."

You are maybe starting to wonder and think," what is she getting at?" or"i don't understand what she is trying to say", rather on the and whys, but rather what i am trying to say. I too, have to become binded into Creepypasta and also reentering the folklore of what bumps in the night, and for some odd reason i find myself wondering and questioning if this has some hint of truth, or rather if people are creating just so they can forget lost pains.

I for one, had created my own creepypasta called Serena" the blood bride" i made her on the basis of the fact that some people do cheat, some have cold feet and brides and grooms are left there humiliated and by the fact that the person who they loved and thought returned that love was now forever gone. Serena is the darker twist, how would said bride/groom react in finding out their lover is and say so many horrible things? Would they stay sane or completely lose their sanity?

From what i remember about most folklore i learned as a kid, is that most of it hide a true meaning in them, like Hansel and Gretal represented famine in large families, not enough going around and your only option was to either eat them or send them off somewhere else,hoping they will be saved at the same time you will have enough food.

Many Folklore we grew up with has a meaning to it that which we always tend to over look or blindly pass by in a hurry to get to that one"scare"moment we all seem to crave, but why is that?

As we get older, from child to adult, the usual things that scare us make us laugh now but in its place something else comes out and terrifies us, but even so we still want to watch or read. What is it that makes us quiver yet enjoy or love this? As Stephen King said" I think that we're all mentally ill;those of us outside the asylums only hide it a little better – and maybe not all that much better, after all. We've all known people who talk to themselves, people who sometimes squinch their faces into horrible grimaces when they believe no one is watching, people who have some hysterical fear – of snakes,the dark, the tight place, the long drop . . . and, of course, those final worms and grubs that are waiting so patiently underground."

CreepyPasta/Pokepasta, The world's inhabitants.

CreepyPasta has made its home in our hearts and minds, keeping us awake at night with wanderings if something will get us in our sleep. The most popular that i have seen is Slenderman; a tall faceless man with long arms and legs and long tendrils that come out of his back, some people who rather joke about him call him by" pedoman,the pervert, the molester". Slenderman is not one of those things, i believe from what i have seen and read of him is that he is misunderstood, he does in fact feed on the fear of children. Slenderman lives remotely in woods/forests that are darkened and off the beaten path, from thrill seekers to rowdy,misbehaved kids enter the forest to only face their imitate demise.
