So, I did a bit of research on what was the first creepypasta, and I came across a strange realisation: Before the "new" creepypasta came (with an actual story and whatnot), the chain-mail phenomenom did roughly the same thing. So, if I want to know what the first creepypasta is, should I look for the first chain-mail? And if not, what is the first "new" creepypasta according to you people?
