Top 10 Best Creepypastas of All Time
To people who don't know what a Creepypasta is, let me explain. A Creepypasta is a short story posted on the internet designed to unnerve and shock the reader. I looked high and low for the best of the best, and here they are. Let's begin.Jeff the Killer was the first creepypasta I'd ever read, and boy, was that a mistake for the first time. When I read it, my mom and brother were at the park. I am almost never home alone, so I took this as a chance to read something scary. Well, I didn't mean horrifying. When I first read it, I stood there thinking, This isn't scary, and then turned to Jeff Returns. That's where I started to get freaked out. I immediately shut off the computer and ran into my bedroom, taking my three dogs with me, two of which were very large guard dogs. Then, I turned on children's TV and read some romance novel, anything to get my mind off it. Because the more you think of it, the more it haunts you.
Jeff the Killer is a poorly-written, unrealistic story that still creeps me out even now, two years later. I'm still afraid to sleep without my windows locked, and whenever I hear a knock on them... well, you get the idea.
I think it's a good pasta because it creeps out, which is the point of a creepypasta. Some grammar mistakes can be ignored if the story creeps out, and if you don't feel chills down your spine after reading a creepypasta, it means that story isn't creepy and it doesn't belong on the site. Jeff is creepy, not perfect, but creepy!
I must say that Jeff was not my first creepypasta, which also shows that it is creepy enough to be number one.
BEN is a figure who takes on the form of the Elegy of Emptiness statue of Link's human form in the title: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. The writer is terrified by this entity because it seemingly haunts the game cartridge in a way that makes the victim of this pasta feel alone, hopeless, and trapped. The reason this creepypasta belongs near the top is because it is a good read, it is very believable (contains videos), it is quite lengthy, and it goes into great detail with the characters, settings, and events, allowing you to paint a vivid picture in your head. I highly recommend reading this one.
BEN Drowned was probably one of the creepiest things I ever read. His story outdid Slender Man, Jeff the Killer, and who-knows-what-else in the scare factor. The whole thing is shockingly believable too, having very accurate and haunting videos and a very detailed, long story as if the whole thing were completely and utterly true. And not to mention that this story was extremely well-written when compared to many other creepypastas.
I have seen Slender Man in the woods near Bridgeport, Michigan. He was tall and skinny, with long tentacle-like arms. My friends and I were in the woods exploring, and we found this trail camera. When we took the SD card out, it said, Look behind you. We all turned around and glanced through the bush, and there he was, standing there. We all screamed and ran the whole three miles home. We stayed in the basement the rest of the day and night, glancing out the window to make sure he didn't follow us home.
I think he is one of the urban legends that started the whole creepypasta wiki/story thing in the first place. I also think that he would scare a lot of people if they actually saw him. Wouldn't it freak you out if there was a 10 1/2 foot tall guy with no face trying to kill you? I certainly know that most of the people in this world would be. Well, not most, but maybe the little kids. A lot of people would be all like, 'How can he follow me? He doesn't even have eyes!' That's what a creepypasta is, right? Stories made to actually 'scare' people. So, please, let's all give him a little more credit, shall we?
This is the first creepypasta that I've read and, after the experience, I've been traumatized with horror and shocked with fear. This was a new level in horror for me and a terrifying masterpiece. The goosebumps have not stopped ever since the reading. The psychological horror and gruesome twists almost physically force the vomit out of your stomach. This creepypasta keeps the reader on the edge of their seats.
This is the greatest creepypasta ever written and it is truly worth your time. The end leaves the reader with a deafening silence afterward. This bone-chilling tale is riveting and the pure definition of the horror genre. I have one word of advice for those who want to read this piece of literature... DON'T FALL ASLEEP. "I must remain awake." - The Russian Sleep Experiment
While reading The Russian Sleep Experiment, I felt myself become physically unhealthy. I grew dizzier, and my breathing seemed to grow difficult, possibly as an attempt to hold back vomiting. Repeatedly, I said, "Oh my God." It's literally horrifying, not only the gore described but for me, more so some of the things said by those undergoing the experiment. I don't know if I'd recommend reading it or never reading it, but it's the best creepypasta.
The reason this creepypasta is scary is because it is hard to disprove. The SpongeBob crew all say they saw it. If you don't know the creepypasta, it goes something like this:
"The show started off normal, with Squidward playing his instrument at a concert. The audio and video start to not match. However, it was quickly fixed. After playing, however, people start booing, even SpongeBob, whose eyes look extremely realistic. If you watch SpongeBob, you probably know this is unlike him. Squidward starts to look scared. Then he screams. We were then treated with switches between Squidward and scary-looking images. This goes on and on."
Squidward's Suicide was one of the very first lost episode creepypastas, and it's also highly influential. The description of the dead children puts an ugly image in your head, and besides the overuse of the phrase "Hyper Realistic," it is still one of my favorite creepypastas ever. It also inspired me to write a few lost episode creepypastas myself. Today, I'm still writing them, and hopefully, one of my stories will become the new "Squidward's Suicide" of our generation.
Eyeless Jack deserves this because of how much he spooked me in the stories. The only thing I don't really understand is why, after a long time (for any of the pastas), I am more with hysterical laughter instead of being scared. I just now live for the gore and graphic descriptions of death because of many of these stories.
Eyeless Jack is just AMAZING. He can be just as good as all of the other Creepypastas if the writer hadn't done such a bad job... He's my personal favorite, and all of my friends' favorite! We all had a fight over who got to be Eyeless Jack for Halloween! And we ate kidney beans in tribute to him (laugh out loud, it was gross).
He's just so awesome and he needs more credit for that! Even if the writer didn't give much detail, you can let your mind roam and make it up yourself. Use your imagination and you can make it (whatever you think is best). Just use your imagination... And he's just so huggable, I mean seriously!
They have proof this thing exists... video, news, pictures... it's not something anyone would want to be real because of its blood-curdling appearance. This thing could possibly be an alien but is kept known as an unknown creature for its looks. The Rake has very little information known about it. Its body position makes it seem this thing was hit by a car or something, and it has only appeared twice through video and been heard once. It may be deadly, but it's quiet, so it can easily slip into rooms without the victim noticing. It's a horrifying thing that makes me terrified when I see it. Reading about it makes me shiver.
Oh... my... god...
Okay, I only heard of this on Shane Dawson's channel, but he explained clearly who the Rake was, and this included graphics, so that scared the hell out of me! I can no longer sleep the same... Okay, fine. I couldn't sleep for one night, and I'm no longer scared of him, but that scared the hell out of me. Also, I live in New York, so the Rake could easily get run over by a car. Oh wait... but isn't he supposed to be described as a really fast and quiet monster? Nah, he'll probably kill me someday, even when I'm in New York.
Smile Dog is a chain email/picture that circulates the net. The description of the picture depicts a dog, possibly a husky, with a human-like grin. In the background, there is a hand described as "beckoning," accompanied by a shadowy figure in the corner. It has been said that this figure is the notorious Jeff the Killer, though that remains unknown. Anyone who receives the picture is plagued with nightmares urging them to "spread the word". Essentially, you have to pass the picture on to someone else for the dreams to stop. Whether you send it as soon as you get it, or keep it locked up inside you, the dreams can drive you crazy. The question for you is, could you bring this upon someone else? Could you really do that to someone? Could you spread the word?
Terrifying. Haha, my only friend that knows of creepypasta said if I didn't stop acting so scared of this pasta, they would send me an email with the picture attached! Haha, I think this is the scariest creepypasta because if you think of it, anyone could get a disturbing picture linked to an email.
Below, that is not the story. The story is about a father of a 6-year-old son named James, and at night, someone is trying to get James. His father told him to stay in the backyard when playing, and it looks like James is playing with an imaginary person whose name is Laughing Jack. A couple of nights later, Laughing Jack had killed their dog and then the next night, James. The father saw Laughing Jack face to face. When the father tried to stab Laughing Jack, he disappeared. One thing I don't get about the story is why did the father leave the child alone in a bedroom after knowing someone was after him?
Laughing Jack was a great hit, although his author seems to be a bit... well, I won't go into that. This story was great, though. When someone mentions this pasta, I think of the original and the origin, which are both fantastically written. Creatures preying on young children also hit the spot for me, and it also applies to the fear of clowns a lot of people have, while adding strange twists of how he acts as an imaginary friend. All in all, it's an awesome pasta.
This is an amazing creation and a crazy video because, in all honesty, this story has a suicidal Mickey Mouse, and that's not new! Back when Walt Disney was still designing the comics, he had one artist make a sad and horrible comic of Mickey losing Minnie and making three attempts at his life, which were all comically foiled.
This comic strip surely inspired the idea of this creepypasta and is slightly disturbing to realize Mickey WAS suicidal! The worst part of the true fact is the third time he tried, he turned on the gas pipe in his house so he would run out of oxygen, which is exactly how Walt Disney's mother died. He had attempted to fix a gas problem, and she asphyxiated a few weeks later, and this morbid death was incorporated in his comic! Walt Disney, by himself with what he's done, is almost just as disturbing as a fake story!
This one is really, really creepy. It is dark and scary. What makes it creepy is that it starts with him just walking and a creepy, broken piano playing in the background, and then it just fades in the back. This goes on for 6 minutes, and then it shows Mickey Mouse just walking. Then, a little scream starts happening that gets louder and louder, then his eyes go white, and his teeth turn blood red, and then he looks like a monster, and then... He dies. Whatever he was doing, while he was walking, he was drugging himself with a syringe that has dangerous drugs that can kill you. He kept doing it over and over until he died. Really creepy. Watch the video.
Straight up, the only creepypasta I've read that has actually given me nightmares for an extended amount of time. And I'm not talking about days or weeks, but straight up months. Why does it scare me so much, you ask? And why does it make all other creepypastas look fake in comparison?
For one, it can actually happen. There aren't many pieces of solid evidence for supernatural beings, such as the Rake and Slenderman. But there are plenty of murder and pedophile stories out there. That's what I learned after the age of ten: there is no such thing as the boogeyman, but there are murderers out there. Actual real-life people with real-life problems who have the delusion that ending one's life is okay, even if it means harsh punishment in the future.
Second: it digs deep into your darkest fear: the unknown. You never know what might be looking at you through your bedroom window. What's watching you in a nearby bush. There is no bigger dread than not knowing that, up to that one moment you realize what is going on, you were being stalked since who knows when. All this time you were clueless to what was going on only to realize that the answer was right behind you. He killed your friends, your family, your pets. And where were you at? Right in his sights, all you had to do was turn around. But how would you know that? You could be watched all your life from the day you take your first breath to the day you take your last, and never know about the danger you were in for all that time.
This is the best, creepiest one I've ever read and my personal favorite. I literally had a Mickey Mouse phobia for like a week or two (like one of the other commenters) and kept seeing photo negative Mickey EVERYWHERE and couldn't get his flipping voice out of my head. To add to this, this is also the most realistic pasta I've ever read and actually has a little bit of real history to it. Disney really did have a water park that closed for no apparent reason. It was only found out a couple of years ago by explorers that it closed due to a brain-eating amoeba in the water.
It did not creep me out. Rather, it scared the hell out of me. I was barely paying attention when my mind became hijacked by the images of Mickey Mouse tearing his head off with blood splashing everywhere and not dying because their world is abandoned by God.
I don't remember the story well, but that mental image I will never forget, not only because it was scary, but also because it was awesome.
Ticci Toby is definitely one of my favorite Creepypastas, right up there with The Rake, Slender, and The Russian Sleep Experiment. The story is well-written, detailed, and creepy. It's believable, too. I think that it should be higher up the list. I definitely think that Toby's story is better than Jeff's story. Toby deserves a higher spot.
I really like Ticci Toby's story. It was really well-written. He is the same as Masky. Whenever he is nearby, so is Slenderman. Ticci Toby would be so difficult to defeat as he feels no pain. He is quite skilled with hatchets and has probably lost all sanity. He's a proxy, so he will do anything, kill anyone, or even torture someone.
Since he was little, he dealt with bullies because of his tics and also wasn't able to feel pain due to his disorders. Later on, his dad became abusive, and he ended up disliking him more and more each day. Later, his sister died in a car accident, and he was the one who survived. He became insane and ended up killing his father, and I can understand why because he had a snap in the back of his brain.
It's long, but it's worth a read. This is a great story to show a journey to insanity. It reminds us how fragile the human mind is. You keep on thinking again and again if he was insane or if some kind of entity was after him, and if the whole human race was really all dead... or worse. What makes this story so amazing is the twist at the end, but you have to think a little more to realize that twist. The thought of something after him, the fear, and who to trust - the story really let me experience that. I'm not sure about everyone else. I'm not scared of it much thanks to reading it more than 5 times. I recommend this story. It blew me away when I read the ending. I discovered this story while going through YouTube, and I'm happy I did. When I first read it... at night, by the way... around midnight, I was scared. It was written with a talented use of grammar and words too.

*Last spoiler alert*
It's funny though...
How his insanity was the thing that "saved" him.
Or did it?
...
What makes this creepypasta so good is not its scariness, but its convincing nature, creating a sense that this story may have actually happened. It delves into the realms of disturbing, focusing on the sick, demented mind of a pedophile who creates a local channel for little kids, just to lure them into his house, torture them, and sacrifice them. There are a few plot holes, especially concerning the parents of these kids who are lured into the house and don't seem bothered by their children's disappearance. However, it's a well-written story with great suspense. It delves into the mind of a kid watching the show, almost being lured into the house, and how his childhood was much darker than he remembered years later.
This is brilliantly written, disturbing, and above all else, realistic. Not to mention fairly unpredictable. Honestly, it makes me feel lucky nothing like this has ever happened to me.
Run.Exe for story, BEN Drowned for style, and Marble Hornets (Original Slender) for presentation as Honorable Mentions.
I'd read creepypastas before, but this is the creepypasta that got me into creepypastas! I find it odd that so many people didn't like the ending because the story did such a good job of building your hatred and anger for the villain that it was really, REALLY great to see the little bastard get his comeuppance at the end! I wish I could have viewed the sequel, but either it isn't posted yet, or I just can't find it anywhere.
This was my third creepypasta, and I have to say it's the best. I'm having trouble believing this isn't in the top ten since it's so damn good. Tons of pictures accompany the story, making it all the more believable and thrilling. I believe there's even music from the game you can find online. It's not exactly lose-sleep scary, but it's a great thrill ride and puts an amazing twist on the beloved original game.
It's not just a creepypasta to me. It's a novel. A story about a boy who got a shoddy copy of Godzilla: Monster of Monsters that directly involved a demon and his dead girlfriend is excellent! The images are well-made and very convincing. Red is a genuinely creepy antagonist, and the story was constructed superbly! Massive props to the writer for creating this masterpiece of a story!
I've known about this one for a long time, but I never really read it. So yesterday, I did, and now whenever I think of 'The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack,' this comes to mind really quickly (they are sort of similar). Out of all the abandoned TV show creepypastas that I've seen (and I've seen a lot), this is my favorite. It's also one of my top ten pastas overall. It's really creative, and the more you think about those shows you watched as a kid, the weirder it seems. They let us watch some weird stuff, so this sort of takes me on a nostalgia trip when I read it. A really creepy one, that is.
A group of adults chat online about a strange television show called Candle Cove that they used to watch as children. However, one strange thing they all have in common is that whenever they were watching Candle Cove, their parents would ask why they were watching television static. However, it is then revealed that Candle Cove isn't what it seems to be...
Herobrine should be at a higher place than this because he is a badass. And just think about it, you are in a large dark place by yourself and you suddenly see two white glowing eyes in the distance, stalking you with a bloody sword in its hand. CREEPY.
I don't know how people can believe that stupid scenario of the dead brother, but I've heard sightings from too many people to not believe in Herobrine. I think of him as the horror element of the game. I'd be glad to meet him.
Herobrine is REAL. I made a Herobrine spawner a couple of months ago, and nothing happened so I left my world. When I came back the next day, my entire world was underwater. THIS IS NOT FAKE.
Lavender Town may be a little bit creepy, like the ghost and others, but the worst part is the song. They say it causes suicides. CREEPY! And this song has been stuck in my head for days. Every time I listen to it, it will never get out of my head until I either wait until it's gone or listen to some other music or watch some TV to get it out of my mind. Oh yeah, one more thing, I know this is not a real creepypasta, but it's called creepypastaphobia. It's where if you read a certain creepypasta, you will be scared. The common ones are you can't sleep, nightmares, look everywhere, and other symptoms. Some are exclusive. For example, say if you read a Squidward's Suicide creepypasta and if you look at the photo, you either can't look at Squidward or if you see a toy of him, you use something to destroy it. And that's why I like the Pokémon Lavender Town creepypasta.
Amazing! Awesome! I've heard the Lavender Town music, and I can honestly say I love it. It's creepy, and the story is one of the best. What happened? Why was this not in the top ten?!
Jane, Jane, she is a pretty and very intelligent Creepypasta, but also almost impossible to kill. She has super fast, super strength, clear eyesight, and beauty because she can knock someone out with her beauty and apparently hypnotize them. She also is a killer that doesn't kill innocent people (unlike Jeff the Killer).
Jane the Killer is a good read, but I think the twist with Jeff was not a good choice. Plus, I think she should have a lone story, one not involving Jeff.
Jane deserves to come second on the list with Jeff. The perfect couple. She is creepy and dangerous! She wears black to show you the danger she can cause. That's pretty awesome.
Not keep you up all night scary, but creepy and, best of all, believable. I don't believe for a second that it is real, but something like this could easily be lurking on the deep web somewhere. It's also well written, which helps to build the mood just right. Jeff never did anything for me, although the picture is creepy.
This story is very interesting, convincing, and well thought out. It was also a good combination of bizarre and unsettling, and the author did a good job at making it believable. I usually think of things featured in creepypastas as being a pile of nonsense, but I actually thought the videos were real.
I love this creepypasta. There are others that come close, such as Candle Cove and The Russian Sleep Experiment, but the thing that really pushes this one above the rest in my eyes is the realism. I wouldn't actually be surprised if something this messed up actually happened online.
I don't find this one creepy or scary. I enjoyed reading it, though! I've had a few friends, who aren't a part of this fandom, read it, and they were freaked out. I may or may not have laughed at them. Personally, I like stuff like this, and I don't have to worry about nightmares because I'm a lucid dreamer! It doesn't mean people don't die in my dreams...
Not scary, but disturbing. All the gore and cutting you read makes you uncomfortable. I've read it many times and I don't think it's scary. I love it! Love the way that a cute happy pony can be so mad and sadistic. In my opinion, it suits Pinkie Pie. But that's just me, I love twisted things, good becoming evil.
I wouldn't go as far as to say it's scary, but it's definitely disturbing, with the fact it's Pinkie Pie torturing Rainbow Dash to death to make cupcakes. Not to mention the fact that it was well written and also an original story. It's my favorite and should be higher on the list.
Masky is a brilliant character from the channel MarbleHornets. I am actually quite scared of his character, as he is shown to appear out of nowhere and is very aggressive. MarbleHornets was presented amazingly and seemed so real. I don't know how many times I have been jump-scared by Masky appearing around the corner in the videos. Masky also scares me because wherever he is, Slenderman is sure to be close by. He can easily tackle you and even kill you. The whole concept of him being anywhere at any time, teleported around by Slenderman, actually makes me paranoid and creeps me out.
Okay. I died a little from listening to his voice thing... It made me love him and not be scared of him. The funny thing is most of the voice things make me love them more than be scared of them.
Some people tend to think Marble Hornets isn't a creepypasta, but I can assure you this is an INTERNET HORROR story told through videos. Videos do count as creepypastas.
That song sounds like 60s AC/DC, lol. That song, it sounds like this: oahoaaoaooahaohaoahaoaho. I learned about this on Amazon Prime, the stuff called role play Creepypasta. It's epic. There is also an SCP that I now watch. I watched all the rp Creepypasta episodes.
I've seen and read and listened to someone read it, and man, was I spooked by how realistic it seemed to be. God, please don't tell me this is actually real!
I love this one. It's creepy like a creepypasta should be and it's interesting at the same time. One of the best in my opinion.
It's a little creepy but mostly really weird and interesting. Time loops...
