Creepypasta are essentially internet horror stories, passed around on forums and other sites to disturb and frighten readers. Creepypastas are sometimes supplemented with pictures, audio and/or video footage related to the story, typically with gory, distorted, or otherwise shocking content.
Most of us probably already know that most creepypasta stories aren't actually real - but are there any creepypastas based on real-life events or phenomena? In a word, yes. Yes there are, and they're wonderfully effective stories because of it.
While creepypasta today varies greatly in length and quality, older ones tend to be very short and follow one of the following set of formulas:
_Anecdotes. The narrator remarks on a scary legend, news story, or event from their own past.
_Rituals. A list of instructions for the reader, claiming that if they go to a certain place at a certain time, and perform specific actions, something remarkable and/or horrifying will happen.
_The "Lost Episode." The narrator tells the story of a never-before-seen episode or scene from a famous TV show, typically a comedy or children's cartoon, where the audio and video is heavily distorted and characters begin acting strangely or violently, killing themselves and/or each other. This style of creepypasta has fallen out of favor nowadays, as it is seen as cliché.

18 parts Complete Mature

Creepypasta are short horror stories, fanfiction or other media that are collected and shared across the Internet with the intent of frightening or unnerving the reader.[1] The name is derived from the internet slang term "copypasta", which refers to text that has been copied and pasted by users onto discussion boards multiple times. Creepypastas are similar to urban legends, although creepypastas do not always take the form of written text or spoken word; some consist of allegedly haunted images, videos, or games. Creepypastas come in a variety of styles, but some are particularly common. "Haunted image" creepypastas are fictional stories that include a picture that is said to haunt and torment the reader. "Lost episode" creepypastas are fictional stories about discarded or unused episodes of real shows, usually cartoons. Lost episodes are intended to unnerve the reader by deviating from the normative behavior of characters, centering on death, and including "hyper-realistic" images of the characters in the show. "Ritual" creepypastas are fictional procedures to invoke entities or supernatural experiences. Please don't read the story at night. Thank you.
