Top 10 Best Creepypastas of All Time

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 and thought this isn't scary and then turned to Jeff Returns, that's where I started to get freaked out. I imediatly shut off the computer and ran into my bed room (taking my three dogs, two of which were very large and guard dogs) Then I turned on childrens T.V. and read some romance novel, anything to get my mind off of it. Because the more you think of it, the more it haunts you.

Jeff the Killer is poor-written, unrealistic, story that 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 it... well you get the idea.

I think it's a good pasta because it CREEPS OUT that is the point of creepypasta. Some grammar mistakes can be ignored if the story creeps out, and if you don't feel chills down your spine after reading one creepypasta story it means that story isn't creepy and it doesn't belong to 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 a number one.

He is the best creepypasta ever! I couldn't sleep the first 2 nights I read about him and now I can't get over him. His story was awesome! ! It has everything. It's tragic and all and I loved it very much. And I guess I'm not the only one. He is not the scariest creepypasta but surely the most loved and awesome one. I just can't get over him! He's such a fearless bad guy and his catch phrase gives me the shivers * go to SLEEP * And his voice... Wow. The best creepypasta ever... If they made a movie on his story... I'll go to the primer.

Jeff the killer definitely deserves to be number one. It was the first creepy pasta I read and by far the scariest. His picture really unnerved me. Every time I look at it I have to look away otherwise I'll be having nightmares about him for another year. Its an amazing story you really should read it. His catchphrase (GO TO SLEEEP! ) made me paranoid to sleep for weeks. Until I read this I wasn't really scared of anything but Jeff's story showed me what a real horror story is... Awesome CREEPYPASTA!

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 the Slender man, Jeff the Killer, and who-knows-what-else in the scare factor... The whole things 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 think this is the BEST one, because it has actual footage, the terror you feel in your chest while reading it, and it was done really well. If you have a feeling of choosing Jeff the Killer, read BEN's story first. I'm sure you will change your mind. To be honest, Jeff's story is a little too stupid... I mean, why would you be afraid of this guy? He has no eyelids, so it's very easy to just remove his eyes. Slenderman is even better than Jeff.

BEN is my favorite Creepypasta along with Jeff The Killer, Hoodie, Masky, Eyeless Jack and Laughing Jack but BEN is my number one favorite. I'm a huge fan of Legend of Zelda and when I first read about BEN, I was terrified of my electronics, afraid that he was going to crawl out of my phone or start glitching my laptop/computer but that was when I was 12, I'm not 16 and I still love Creepypasta (even though my anxiety protests when I'm home alone and I read about it)

I have seen Slender Man in the woods near Bridgeport Michigan. He was tall and skinny and had long tentacle like arms. My friends and I were in the woods exploring and we found this trail camera. When we took the S.D. 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 3 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 of home.

I think he is one of the urban legends that started the whole creepypasta wiki/story thingermajigs in the first place. I also think that the 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 tring to kill you? I certaintly 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?

So. I think it is generally recognized that it's a good crrepypasta. However, the thing is- a lot of people say Jeff the Killer is better. In all honesty, I wasn't able to get through the whole creepypasta. The premise? Cool and interesting. Hey, a little unoriginal, but I can work with that. But the writing just... didn't feel real! At all! And don't get me STARTED on his fangirls. Though I don't remember the exact words, I saw a fangirl write something like this:
I love him! He watches me while I sleep from my closet. I even think I saw him! He carved a scar into my arm. He probably thinks I'm dead now LOL. He is awesome!

Really. Yep, a 13 year old with his eyelids carved off is hot. Yep, LOGIC.

Slender man, however, doesn't rely at ALL on a handsome face. He doesn't even have one! The pictures make it feel more real (don't worry, I know it's not) and the fact that he is based on a ancient mythology is interesting to me. I'm not a MASSIVE fan, but he seems like ...more

The ongoing series by the Marble Hornets creates an atmosphere of a documentary, making it seemingly more believable than many other creepypasta's I've seen. With well done filmwork, and a very interesting, mysterious, and unnerving story, this will leave you looking out the window, fearing something is watching you, overall, making me like Slender Man the best.

This is the first creepy pasta 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 creepy pasta keeps the reader on the edge of their seats. This is the greatest creepy pasta 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 get physically unhealthy. I grew dizzier and my breathing seemed to grow difficult, possibly as and attempt to hold back vomiting. Repeatedly I said "Oh my god. " It's literally horrifying not only the gore described but for me more some of the things said through those undergoing the experiment. I don't know if I'd recommend reading it or never reading it but it's the best creepypasta.

I find it sad that Jeff the killer,eyeless jack and many other pastas are so high on the list. Jeff makes no sense,eyeless jack has no concept or thought put into it. If you really appreciate horror stories than you would want to look past these cliché ridden stories. I love so many pastas which are nowhere on the list. The Russian sleep experiment is very good and actually has horror to back up the pictures unlike Jeff and eyeless jack. I never found Ben drowned creepy nor most other gaming pastas. There are plenty pastas I recommend but most on the higher places on the list are ones I wouldn't. Now this is my opinion so if you like them well good for you.

The Russian Sleep Experiment, I think, is a pretty scary CreepyPasta, mostly because it's believable. Most other CreepyPastas aren't so believable. You can tell yourself the other ones aren't real and be on with your life. But this one... The dear sorta sticks around a while, because we know that Russia is crazy and kind of abusive (No offense Russians! ). This is something that very likely happened.

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, who's 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 favourite creepypastas ever and 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.

I was really scared of SpongeBob after reading this. All the blood, dead children, guns, noises, I was actually very confused. Hasn't Squidward dealt with boos before, or was he tired of being terrible, or knows he'll never be good? It was chilling and I watched the video, and I had no idea what I was looking at. The story was so detailed that I imagined that I was the intern staring at the screen, wondering what the heck I was witnessing. I might be afraid of the dark now.

O. O Of all the mind-numbingly creepy material I have seen and read over the years, this creepypasta disturbed me the most. They describe the scenes in this story so well, putting brain-assaulting images in your head that are difficult to remove. One of them being the picture. And, having seen many episodes of Spongebob as a kid, all those memories of our good spongey friend and his aquaintences have been pooed all over. I will never look at Spongebob and Squidward especially the same way again, and after reading this creepypasta, neither will you.

Eyeless Jack deserves this because of how much he did spook 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 didn't do such a bad job... He's my personal favorite and all of my friends favorites! 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!

Where do I start...
EJ was forced to be what he is. To be honest I pitty him and felt similar things that he does. His state of mind is the most relatable to me. He feels what he does because he was turned into a creature he never wanted to be and then forced into a stereotype just by seeing what he wanted to be and the reality of the pain he went through. All I can say is that I can sympathize with him.

They have proof this thing exists... video, news, picture... 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 him its body position makes it seem this thing was hit by a car or something and has only appeared twice through video and heard one. 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 my terrified when I see it. Reading about it makes me shiver.

Oh... my... god...
Ok, 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 could not only 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 ran 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.

They say that he lives in forests of New York. But if you listen carefully, you may survive him!

Here's how to prepare:
1: lock your door, and keep your kids as far away from [the door] as possible.

2: turn everything off, The rake may just admit that nobody's home and go somewhere else

3: get a long weapon, preferably sharp, as the rake is actually very shy and would probably run away.

Here's what to do if the rake doesn't admit that your not home and comes in:

1: make a lot of noise if you hear footsteps. Like I said, he's very shy.

2: yell and pick up your long weapon and threaten the rake.

3: if 2 doesn't work, than hit the rake and continue yelling.

4: if all else fails, scream and use anything you can to beat the crap out of the rake.

5: and if that fails, use the most dangerous weapon you have in the house, and aim for the rakes eyes, if you're lucky, you can temporarily blind him, enough for you and your ...more

My dad owns a video camera in our woods. When we both went out to go look at the footage we saw him on one of the frames. There he was, crouched down. His glowing eyes staring at the camera. It was the scariest thing I've seen and I still haven't gone in those woods again. I hope no one else she's this trail camera cause they would be in deep trouble.

Smile. Dog is a chain email/picture that is over the net. The description of the picture is said to be a dog, possibly a husky, with a human-like grin. In the background is a hand described as "beckoning", with a shadowy figure in the corner. It has been said that this figure is the notorious Jeff the Killer, though that still is unknown. Anyone who receives the picture will be plagued with nightmares telling 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 on someone else? Could you really do that to someone? Could you spread the word?

I can remember one day I was reading the smile dog story and that night I couldn't go to sleep because I had a bout of anxiety, and I kept on seeing smile dogs face every time I closed my eyes... you can never forger that face

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 attatched! Haha, I think this is the scariest creepypasta because if you think of it, anyone could get a disturbing picture linked t an email.

One of my favorite Pastas ever. I have become accustomed to the image, but feel like I am melting away when I stare at it. Inner fear develops, while I remain very calm and fatigued as well as felling the usual melting sensation on the outside.

Below, that is not the story. The story is 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 whos name is laughing jack. Laughing Jack, a couple nights later had killed their dog and than 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 is after him?

Laughing Jack was a great hit, although his author seems to be a bit, well... not going 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 a strange twists of how he acts as an imaginary friend. All in all, it's an awesome pasta.

Sweet! This guy is creepy. Oh and by the way, Laughing Jack is a kid's "imaginary" friend. His mother keeps on having strange dreams about him, and "Pop Goes The Weasel." Eventually, one night she goes into her son's room, only to find Laughing Jack has tied her son up. She tries to stab Laughing Jack, but he disappears, making her stab her son. It ends with her in an asylum saying that she can hear "Pop Goes The Weasel" and she doesn't have much time left.

Laughing Jack is actually well written compared to Jeff the Killer as well as Laughing Jack actually scares me compared to Jeff The Killer, Ben Drowned and Eyeless Jack. His whole concept is creepy. Who isn't scared of clowns, especially clowns which like to rip out your organs and turn them into balloons. He also has a very cool back story. Better watch out children.

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 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 that 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 ...more

This introduces a chill to the reader without the traditional gore and jump scares, while also keeping the story compelling and completely disturbing. Honestly, most creepypastas don't actually scare me, they just disturb me a bit. But Penpal... Well, let's just say that Penpal gave me a dose of paranoia and maybe a bit of insomnia. If you like reading stories that make you check under your bed and jump at every noise that you don't immediately know the location of, I highly suggest this creepypasta.

Penpal is something I would be proud to call a creepypasta. It's something that can happen to any of us and it just seems so... Realistic. It's long but if any thing's ever been worth the read, its this. I've read Jeff the killer, slenderman, squid wards suicide, BEN drowned... And nothing has given me the creeps like this story did. The only thing I've ever enjoyed as much as that was the books of sand if I remember correctly.

Worth the read ten times over. If you prefer books to screentime, order the book by Dathan Auerbach (1000Vultures) off Amazon instead.

Thrilling the reader with its uniquely original storyline, Penpal repeatedly compels you to read more and more as you become infatuated with the narrator's story. To this day, I'm frightened of waking up in a place other than my own bed.

Penpal is, without a doubt, the absolute best Creepypasta I have ever had the pleasure to read.

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 delt with bullies for his Tics and also wasn't able to feel the pain cause of his disorders. Later on his dad became abusive and he ended up not liking 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 as to why because he had a snap in the back of his brain.

I believe most people should relate to Toby. I can't believe he made it down to 28. He is one of the most lovable creepypastas. He deserves to at least be at 8. That is the lowest he should ever be. I just hope people don't pity him because of his disorders. He doesn't need the pity.

What makes this creepypasta so good is not that it's scary, but just so convincing and creates a sense that this story may have happened. It really dives into the realms of disturbing and the sick, demented mind of a pedophile that creates a local channel for little kids, just so he can lure them into his house, torture them, and sacrifice them. There are a plot holes, especially when the parents of these kids that are lured into the house don't even bother that their kids are missing. But it's a well-written story with great suspense and goes 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 it years later.

This is brilliantly written, disturbing, and above all else, realistic. Not to mention fairly unpredictable. Honestly 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.

What's so good about this one is that it's so believable and creepy. The lore behind Mr. Bear's Cellar and all of the other demented shows on that channel. But their is plot holes, like what did the parents of the dead kids do when they learned their kids were missing.

It's brilliant. Jeff is rubbish compared to it. Happy Apply copied this in a stupider way. It's a must read - the first one I ever read and the best. It's really convincing. Not for the faint hearted... Just remember. Never watch Channel 21.

Herobrine should be at a higher place than this cause he is a bad a$$. 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 can people believe that stupid scenario of the dead brother, but I 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.

He's real, Notch had 2 brothers:a half brother that he never met before, and Herobrine. Notch lied about him not having a brother Anyone who dosen't believe in him needs to WAKE UP.

Jane. Jane she is pretty also very intelligent creepy pasta, but also almost impossible to kill being super fast, super strength, clear eyesight, also beauty because she can knock someone 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 2nd 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

A thoughtful story, while it may not be as scary, of a different viewpoint of the story of Jeff the Killer.
