If you've ever been scared in your life, use that incident/those incidents as the basis for stories.

Also, if you're going to create anything, you need to consume a lot of it first. Musicians should listen to a lot of music. Writers should read a lot of books, and Creepypasta authors should read a lot of creepypastas.

Classic horror short stories like 'The Fall of the House of Usher' or 'The Call of Cthulhu' as well as urban legends like 'The Missing Bride' and 'The Hook' are also recommended reading.
