It depends on what the story is and how it's executed. Still, I generally find third person to be scarier because it seems to be much less common in creepypastas and, as Travis pointed out, offers more freedom with whose point of view you are seeing the events from. If you're going for a longer story with a more complicated plot and characters, I'd say third person is the better choice for a pasta, but it all depends on the author in the end.
