Michael often used to play tricks on Andrew and grew mad at him. Still, Andrew stuck to him and after another one of his pranks, Michael feels responsible for him. Eventually, more families move into the neighborhood with their kids. One of them was Stephen DiMisaco, or Stevie, a weird, lanky boy obsessed with taxidermy. Eventually, things take a turn for the worse and get progressively darker as the story continues. Steve is one of the longest creepypasta on the list, and one that develops slowly.
This huge creepypasta was originally posted in a military story thread on Something Awful. The story quickly became very popular. In this creepypasta, our narrator, Monkey, joins the US Army in the late 80s. As the title says, this is a ghost story. It might also be the single longest creepypasta on this list at a length of almost The story even spawned multiple follow-ups and related tales, making it even longer.
The characters are isolated in a creepy building in the middle of nowhere because of heavy snow and raging blizzards. This creepypasta is popular for many reasons. The writing, the rough language as well as the realistic and historical background.
A young boy, Payton, wants to take pictures of a young lion spotted in the area. Payton asks for advice from the people at National Geographic. They tell him he should put up an automatic camera at a place the young lion might frequent. Eventually, he decides to set up the recording of a dying rabbit as bait to lure the young lion to a small creek. Things get strange when the narrator, a young girl, describes how she can hear the recording at night in her home.
Even worse, the recording is strangely distorted. Rabbits in the Creek is a fantastic creepypasta. Dead Bart is short, but I personally found it very interesting and one of the better lost episode creepypasta. A jack of all trades, with ambitions and interests too large for the small town he grew up in. Eventually, Jacob travels abroad. After years he finally returns to his home town, bringing with him a stick of chalk. This stick allows him to draw strange paintings, paintings that are animate.
Soon Jacob has his own shows in which he presents his animate paintings in front of an audience. From here on out, things only get worse. I love mysterious little tales like this creepypasta, especially those who leave you hanging with something entirely inexplicable. One day in a quiet town in Minnesota, the charred body of a woman was found in a kitchen stove. However, the details of the case are more than a bit puzzling.
This is another creepypasta that wastes no time on narration and gets straight to the point, the mysterious, titular oven and what it contains. It details a strange video that was shared around the internet showing a grotesque birth by what is assumed to be a blind deer. This is pretty much a perfect creepypasta because it simply details a strange occurrence, an unsettling video that was found online, and what it contains. Ben Drowned is most likely the most popular haunted video game creepypasta of all time.
This sub-genre generally revolves around video games who are haunted or evil. The people who play those video games are killed or driven insane. Ben Drowned is a rare exception and one of the earliest haunted video game creepypasta done well. I like the intricate details they contain, such as parts of the game changing, new levels or areas being created, strange glitches, and so on. The game gets progressively stranger, warping itself into a surreal experience for the player.
When he starts the game, he discovers a safe file named Ben. The most interesting aspect of Ben Drowned is not the story itself, but the work that went into it. It contains multiple media types integrated into the story. I only found out about it recently because of some videos on YouTube, but it made me see the entire story in a different light. Ben Drowned, while a very long story, is one that anyone should check out.
If only to see all the work that went into it and the ARG surrounding it. This is another video game creepypasta. The titular game is described as a weird and obscure text adventure shared among a small circle of fans back in the day.
Many people abandoned the game out of sheer frustration. Pale Luna is a short, but interesting creepypasta. What I like the most about this one is the mystery surrounding the titular game.
The Thing That Stalks the Fields is another super and classic creepypasta. The story starts with a farmer noticing one morning that the hay balls in his field are slowly being moved away from his house. At first, he believes it to be the work of thieves or teenaged pranksters.
Marly Sachs. Things get weird quickly when calls from women arrive complaining about uncomfortable feelings while watching the show. Before long the show is canceled so the channel can focus on something else, the local miscarriage epidemic. I only read this story recently, but I absolutely loved it. Pokemon Black is one such tale. Pokemon Black is not about a cursed game and neither about a game possessed by ghosts.
A short, but good creepypasta. If I remember correctly this was actually the very first ones I ever read. A hunter gets lost in the forest and stumbles upon a cabin. He decides to spend the night there. All is well, apart from one little detail that unnerves him.
This is pretty much a perfect creepypasta tale. The Gallery of Henri Beauchamp is another popular creepypasta that I only recently stumbled upon. This is a story that details a set of rules one has to follow to be allowed entrance into the titular gallery. What makes this one so great to me is the obscure nature of the entire tale, the great writing, and the many intricate details.
And the Gallery itself, and what one can find there. One day our narrator, a hotel owner, goes to pay the man in room a visit. When no one answers, the narrator enters via a spare key only to find the man dead in a corner and the walls of the room covered in strange writings. The police are soon called and a few days after the narrator returns to the room to find answers about what happened to the old man. I was very impressed when I read this story recently.
It starts off with the narrator explaining that he was adopted and continues to share the details of his life with his family and sister. Ah, this creepypasta. They are out camping in the woods and encounter a strange figure, the titular Goatman. This figure is moving strangely, talking gibberish, and eventually follows them. Slender Man is probably the most popular creepypasta and internet horror creation of all time. It spawned various different stories, games, video series such as Marble Hornets, and even a feature-length movie.
They were created for a Photoshop contest on Something Awful. From here on out, the images gained vast popularity and eventually went viral. Slender Man is a tall, lanky man with unnaturally long limbs, wearing a suit and without a face. His primary target seems to be children who he prays on, lures away, and eventually abducts. There are various tales about Slender Man, but I feel none of them give off the same unsettling atmosphere as the original pictures.
I also think less is often more, and Eric Knudsen did a superb job in his depiction of the creature. I believe many know about determinism.
It means all events happening are pre-determined completely because of previously existing causes. Wristbands tells us there are different wristbands the patients at hospitals receive. We also learn that red wristbands are exclusively placed on people who died. Ah, the SCP Foundation.
This creepypasta here started it all. It explained the procedures on how to safely contain the titular entity. SCP went viral, spawned similar stories, and eventually the SPC Foundation, a fictional organization tasked with securing, containing, and proceeding dangerous entities.
Today the SCP Foundation is one of the largest horror fiction communities on the internet and comprises thousands of SCP created by countless people over the years.
Another short and weird little creepypasta. The narrator encounters a homeless man who seems to be insulting people by calling them various names.
The Backrooms is a creepypasta that started from nothing but a picture of an unsettling room or set of rooms. I love this eerie, creepy idea. Case Report details a tale that took place in an amusement park created by a man named Travis Leroy. One particular ride in his park is an indoor track-car ride through an enchanted forest. Then a small, four-year-old boy goes missing in the outskirts of the town. The case is eventually closed, but five months later another child goes missing.
Soon enough an investigation is started, people are questioned and the amusement park is investigated. This is another fantastic tale that lured me in with its narrative and its fascinating story-telling.
Case Report is a great creepypasta that takes a simple premise and transforms it into something unique. Smile Dog is another interesting early creepypasta. It comes accompanied by a picture of the titular creature. In its essence Smile Dog is a cursed image story. So we come to NoEnd House. This creepypasta is another classic and another really popular one. NoEnd House proved so popular it was adapted as the second season of the horror anthology series Channel Zero.
NoEnd House is in its essence a haunted house story. All you have to do is make it through nine rooms in total. As if to prove him right, things start out silly, almost childish, but they get progressively creepier before they become outright nightmarish. The Expressionless is yet another classic creepypasta written by my good friend T.
Her appearance is more like that of a mannequin. No, we follow an alien narrator who laments about a great mistake that was made by his species.
The story starts with Eric, who details his email correspondences with his friend Mark. Mark contacts him about another one of their friends, Andrew. One day, Mark found a newspaper article which details that Andrew shot two people and later himself.
From this point onward we witness the story of Mark trying to figure out what happened to their old friend. This is one of the longest stories on the list, one that develops slowly.
I also absolutely love the idea of the titular Dionaea House itself. The story starts with a man in a black suit standing in front of a group of dentists. He offers them a large sum of money to reveal the titular dream to him. The Theater is yet another video game creepypasta. This one, however, is not about a haunted game or sentient video game characters. The Theater features nothing but a strange and glitchy game. A group of political prisoners is subjected to an experiment.
They are put into a room filled with an experimental gas that will keep them awake for the duration of thirty days. As the title states, this is another video game creepypasta, and probably my favorite in this entire sub-genre.
The creepypasta starts off normal enough, with him playing the first level of the game. Before long, the game glitches and changes in various strange ways. What makes this video game creepypasta so special in my book are the visuals, the images. The writer designed entire screens, bosses, and monsters for his glitchy NES game.
My only problem with this creepypasta is the actual story. In this creepypasta, a group of scientists conducts an experiment. He soon hears people talk all around him before things get even more unsettling. The central idea of Gateway of the Mind is very interesting. The reason Gatewy of the Mind is so great, in my opinion, is the ending.
The Song and Dance Man sticks out to me for its writing. It tells the story of a group of people who one day meet the titular Song and Dance Man. The man appears in their town at one point, sets up a tent, and invites people to listen to music and dance.
Many join him at the prospect of free music, dancing, and some fun. As I said, what makes this story is the writing. Another well-known and widely popular creepypasta. Exploring tight spaces and caves is something that always unsettled me. What makes this story so great is the level of detail that was put into it. The various blog posts detail the process of laying bare the entrance to the unknown part of the cave system in intricate detail before the narrator explores it.
What makes it even better is that each blog post comes with various photographs that give you even more insight into the process and immerses you more in the story. It gives you the impression that this entire creepypasta might actually be real. Long parts of it detail the caving and actual scary parts of this creepypasta are only slowly added.
I like weird, strange, and surreal stories. As such, Dogscape has always been one of my favorite creepypasta or my favorite collection of short little creepypasta. The plot of Dogscape is simple. All the earth has become a never-ending landscape made up of dogs. The ground of the earth has become nothing but dug for, sprouting dog heads and weird dog trees. People are devoured by dog heads, kill each other, rape each other and even become part of the Dogscape themselves. Before long people started to write their own little tales set in the Dogscape.
The various tales vary in detail, length and quality. They also feature gore, rape, and other atrocities. Still, it deserves its place in this list for its bizarre scenario and imagery. A word of warning though, some of the tales feature some explicit content. This creepypasta written by Kris Straub is another classic and one of the most popular creepypasta of all time.
It was even adapted as the first season of horror anthology series Channel Zero. The story is written in an interesting format. Things start out normal enough, with people sharing into nostalgia. However, the more people join, the more strange details are revealed about the show. The story starts out with the narrator receiving a chain letter about a weird website called normalpornfornormalpeople. The site is weird, bare-bones, and features a variety of strange videos.
Soon enough the narrator and other members of a certain imageboard explore the page and discover more and more unsettling content.
I highly recommend Normal Porn for Normal People to anyone. It also inspired me to write one of my earlier stories titled Fetish Webcam. Oh, Psychosis. Actually, yes, yes it is. The story feels fairly believable, the pacing is great, there are spooky side-stories all over the place.
And while sometimes really dark, is a fun read. I'm not sure how popular this one was, but it's one I liked and I dare say this one carries a hint of cosmic horror, so it made the list. A teenager with his parents and sister visit a cabin by a lake, on vacation. A cryptic note carved into a tree leads the two siblings deeper into the forest, where the girl disappears. I can't spoil it too much, but it's a quick read so don't hesitate.
The flashlight beam shone bright due to fresh batteries. I cast it into the forest and aimed for a single tree that had caught my attention. I took a few steps toward the trees before I felt Sis' hand clasp down on my shoulder.
Brushing her off, I straddled a tall, wild shrub and awkwardly launched myself into the underbrush. It's pretty effective as spooky stories go, and it has one of those endings that aren't always effective, but it kind of works for this one.
I'm a sucker for the setting so I might be biased. I don't really see a TV show in this, but they made one of "Candle Cove", so I'm sure they can swing it. The story is about a scary house with nine rooms, each scarier than the last. The first few rooms are okay, maybe a little scary, maybe a little weird.
Then shit gets serious. That was when he told me about the NoEnd House. It got that name because no one had ever reached the final exit. There were nine rooms in all. The house was located outside the city, roughly four miles from my house. Apparently Peter had tried and failed.
He was a heroin and who-knows-what-the-fuck addict, so I figured the drugs got the best of him and he wigged out at a paper ghost or something. He told me it would be too much for anyone. That it was unnatural. I'm not suggesting that any of these stories are real, but suspension of disbelief is important even in the case of creepypasta and well, I just don't see any of this as reasonable.
Give it a couple of paragraphs and if it hasn't grabbed you, it probably won't. What's your favorite creepypasta? Let me know in the comments. Tell me why my picks are wrong, all that good stuff. I want to know. George Cotronis lives in the wilderness of Northern Sweden. He designs book covers and sometimes writes. You can see his work at www.

The writing isn't great, but I thought Penpal was legitimately creepy. I'm all for atmosphere and what-not, but what usually gets me when it comes to horror is simplicity. Unwanted chain mail is scary enough, but this story recalls the kind of internet tall tale that certain attachments can lay on curse on whoever dares to click them. But this story takes some real twists, turns, and dramatic leaps.
So in this case, describing a trip through literal hell kind of discards that mission. This legendary monster conjured up by a twisted mind on the internet is perfect fodder for those late-night horror story swaps. Most iconic supernatural beings, from the wendigo to Bigfoot to the Mothman, are local cryptids. The beauty of the Rake is that he can strike anywhere, at any time, throughout history. Oh, the joy, and in this case, the subsequent horror, of wordplay.
The delivery here is one twisted twist. What could be more horrific than the ritualistic forced marriages between young girls and opportunistic older men held covertly in the US? This story. This story is more horrific than that. This series deserves serious credit for a few reasons. At first, this post seems like it was submitted to the wrong subreddit. It reads more like a diet testimony than a horror story. And then, oh God. Oh no. Or a bed, period. The horrors of war are sometimes more devastating than anything an author could summon from the depths of their imagination.
This is one of those. One of the best things about scary stories written for an internet audience is that they tend to revolve around Black Mirror -esque topics like technology and its role in our society. And this submission is a subtle examination of how far people will go for internet clout. This little shop of horrors is so revered in the creepypasta community that an entire season of the pasta-inspired Channel Zero series used it as inspiration.
Haunted houses are full of sticky fake blood and smoke machines and not much else, right? Room
