Creepypastas

Creepypastas are short horror stories collected and shared over the Internet, such as in forums, blogs or YouTube videos, with the intention of frightening or disturbing the reader, whose boundaries between reality and fiction remain blurred. To urban legends, although it is not always used to take the form of written text or narration, some creepypastas come in the form of images, videos or video games, supposedly enchanted. The term was coined on chan around 2006.

They come in a variety of styles, some of which are particularly common. "Enchanted images" are stories that include an image that is supposed to haunt and haunt the reader. The reader is sometimes disturbed by so-called "missed episodes," stories about discarded episodes of television series, usually cartoons. The lost episodes are intended to make the reader nervous by diverting the unusual behavior of the characters, focusing on death and including hyper-realistic images of the characters in the series. The "invocations" are creepypastas about procedures for manifest entities or paranormal experiences. Creepypasta could be considered literature made by fans (fanfiction), but with terrifying themes.
