December Discussion Post: How Did You Discover Creepypasta?
This month’s topic was suggested by TVATR, and I’m very interested to hear everyone’s responses.
How did you first discover creepypasta? Not just this specific site (though of course, I am curious to hear how you ended up here as well, if you remember and would like to share), but I’m asking about your first experience with the entire creepypasta meme in general. Do you remember the first pasta that you ever read? Or did you stumble upon one of the myriad YouTube creepypasta video readings?
Let us know your earliest memory of creepypasta in the comments of this post, and have fun!
December Discussion Post: How Did You Discover Creepypasta?,
So I’m in college, and I’m in this seminar about “Monsters of the ancient world,” basically an analysis of Greek/Roman folklore and stories about ghosts and witches and other various monsters. In order to give the class some more current material, our professor asked a few volunteers to make a presentation about Slenderman.
I volunteered, and was soon looking up various stories/wikis about Slenderman, and my best source was easily the Creepypasta wiki. From there I read through all the real popular pastas (though the Slenderman stories themselves never impressed me, the only thing I find really creepy about Slenderman is the original two pictures).
I got hooked after reading the Russian Sleep Experiment.
and then…I was addicted…
now, ’tis a sad life.
’tis a sad life indeed
Came here because I heard from a friend about the Russian Sleep Experiment. Love that story
I heard from a vid on YouTube
me too
I remember my good friend Calvin told me about the slenderman a long time ago before it got popular and I researched on slenderman, then found out about creepypasta.
Creepypasta hipster count: 2, including you and I!
Skydoesmincraft mod review on creepy pasta
Lol metoo
Same here
Lol me to
i was with my buddie Roland who i had been friends with since i was three. its a total friend zone thing
anywho lol roland first told me about slenderman when we were all walking through the woods and me and spencer totaly freaked out and hopped this fence and ran like hell, we totaly forgot about our friend and we though he died. we ran back to the park and waited for him there. he comes out of the shadows with his hoodie over his face and it scared us! then when we got over being scared roland told us the Jeff the killer story, and I DID NOT SLEEP ONCE for the next WEEK i swear. it scared me sooo bad :3 and thts how i got into creepypasta 
anywho, it was about 8:00pm at night, it was super dark, i was also with his friend spencer, so i was the only girl
I’m reading this and it’s completely Dark and quiet in my house and I’m completely hooked with creepy pasta Cx
its super fun to get scared hu?
I always read creepy pasta in the dark and when I finish I turn off everything and sit there in the dark to see how long it takes me to freak out
i find myself to not be so paranoid anymore. the constant fear makes you stronger. ya know? at least after a long while of fear obsession.
I like to read them when I’m home alone, or when everybody’s asleep. It really freaks me out
yeah same here
I found out on cryoticmonkey and how I deal with stuff I just say I have a 12 gauge nothing will screw with me
My name is also Roland >.> Anyways, I got addicted to this site when I was bored and looked up the slenderman story.
Pokémon black version was the first creepypasta I have heard of, but the first creepypasta I sat through was Jeff the Killer, and finally the first I had read myself was Smile Dog. Each have a specific place in my heart for me. (This probably won’t matter but I haven’t even tried to write myself yet. I know i’ll disappoint myself :p)
I first discovered this treasure trove of creepiness through a friend. He writes and had done a voice over of a creepy pasta.
I really enjoyed it, and he mentioned this website. The first time I accessed the CreepyPasta website, I spent hours and hours that day reading through countless pastas. My imagination brought me face to hips with Slenderman, I killed with Jeff, and wondered who exactly was phone. I was infected with the Dust, ripped to pieces, sent to hell, spoke to a sentient porcaline doll. Ever since, I log on every morning, coffee in cup. Not to mention a few hours before I slumber at night. I’ve begun writing several creepy pastas myself, and as soon as submissions reopen I will send them in. I hope to make somewhat of a name for myself on here, seeing as how I spend so much time on this site, I want to contribute. If my pastas are accepted and prove frightening, than I hope you enjoy my creepy imagination as much as I do.

When you said ‘face to hips with slenderman’ I’m not sure if it is supposed to be sexual or because of height
The first pasta I read was on facebook a week ago. I don’t remember the exact name but it was the one about the copy shop and those sick pictures of burning children. After that I found “The Russian Sleep Experiment” and that is what I found really addicting.
Someone on another forum told me about the site.
Friend update his status saying “I think I’m addicted to Creepypasta”
I am a regular reader of Wattpad and a fan of Micheal Whitehouse. His story, ‘bedtime’ was published here.
I ended up here after an extensive search for horror and became a fan instantly. It’s hard to remember not having creepypastas in my life. The first one I read was Jeff, so I kinda got one of the popular ones
I was browsing Learn From My Fail (a part of failblog that no longer exists) and a person said to never read a ton of creepypasta right before going to bed
I had heard the term before but had never bothered to look it up, so I did. This is also the story of how I found this site.
It should come as no surprise that I spent the next 3 days reading almost constantly, and the next week not sleeping…
Heh. A buddy of mine was really into The Holders series and ended up getting me into it. From there, it kinda just snowballed.
I originally I heard of creepypasta from some random youtube videos, and I have loved it ever since. I started to get more interested after listening to SomeOrdinaryGamers (I heard of them from my brother) videos, with the first one being Sonic.exe. I cant remember which one I read first, but a pasta that has a special place in my heart is Crawl. It was propably in the first 10 I read, and in the top 10 Ive read. Back then it just managed to get me fully into the pasta. I remember it being 3am and I can still picture the same image of the clown in my head that I did then… Now it has gone to the point where I check this page (I found it through google) about three times a day
Oh, its 3am now
Well On youtube one video led to another, and soon I was greeted by SquidWards Suicde, shitting myself, I decided to see what this ‘Creepypasta’ was. I only got onto Creepypasta WIKI. I read a lot of them, Dead Bart, Glitch, all new and scary. Only recently I rediscovered Creepypasta, but found the real site. And one thing led to Random comments, then YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE USERNAME! then submitting pastas. That led to crappypasta.That led to Pockets. Let led to submission. That led to happiness. I’m so glad I found this site derpbutt, thanks.
THATS EXACTLY HOW I FREAKING STARTED LOL
i started by simply watching minecraft mod reviews then looking up creepypasta after seeing the mod i wasnt really scared untill i read the scuttler and that kept me up at night. sadly the jeff the killer story didnt leave any lasting impression but the pictureat the end made me shit brix
Ya my friend on Xbox read me that same story one day. I’ll never forget it
I was perusing youtube and fell apon the Mr.CreepyPasta, I loved what i heard, and now i am making a jeff the killer movie because of it.
funny mr. creepypastas reading of the russian sleep experiment is how i got into them also
How long ago did you start this project and when will it be finished? I am greatly interested and good luck. Hopefully it’ll be better than that letdown The Tall Man.
i was on facebook, just going through the pictures of some page, and i came across a creepypasta =P it was the one about the man who went speed dating and married this secretly psychopathic girl that had murdered her sons and husband. i sent the story to one of my friends, and he told me it was from a website called creepypasta so i thought id check it out =P boy am i glad i did x)
I’m in acting class at our high school, and we had to do oral interpretation of a story. So I just Googled “scary story” (I know, I’m so fantastically creative) and it came to this site. I believe it actually came to Dear Abby, which is still the best pasta I’ve ever read on here. But, unfortunately, since the stories here aren’t actually published with a credited source, I couldn’t use Dear Abby or any other scary story :c
Dear abby is probably one of the most well written pastas i have read i felt that it was just so perfect
I’m huge into the “then who was phone” meme, and naturally stumbled across this site looking for more on the meme itself.
Well i was on a game one day and saw a guy making creepypasta levels,i was scared at first then i had the guts to go on creepypasta. And the first creepypasta i saw was Jeff the killer i was terrified i had nightmares for a week but its not scary anymore.
My best friend told me to look up Mrcreepypasta on YouTube last year. I listened to Tulpa the first time, and I couldn’t get enough.
so i “by chance” clicked on a facebook page that had commented on something (i forgot) but once there i “by chance” clicked read more on the first status… it was a creepypasta about a couple of scientists that took a mans senses so that he could supposedly make contact with god. now i am addicted .-.
I’ve always love horror. When I was in elementary school, I read every single scary book in the school library. So, when I was searching for good horror stories about 5 months ago, Creepypasta seemed perfect for me. I think the first story I read was one of the Candle Cove ones. After reading that and a couple others, like Psychosis, I was hooked.
My friend posted one of the slenderman stories on facebook. I had asked her where she got it from, and she gave me your site name. I’ve been hooked since.
I was looking for scary stories and I found out of Slenderman. Soon I was looking for everything about
Slenderman I could get my little hands on. I found Creepypasta and became an addict. I would go on everyday if I couldn’t on the computer I would use the mobile. It relieved the sad feelings of everyday life.
I feel u dude… I feel u… AND NOT IN THAT WAY U SICK PERVERT! =3
i just found creepy pasta a few days ago when my cousin told me to listen to squidwards suicide and been addicted since then
The first Creepy Pasta I ever read was Stillness of 7he 7ru7h. I came across it randomly searching for slender-man stories. Then I realized it was a whole sight of creepy stories. I’ve been reading them ever since
