Agreed. I doubt it will ever be truly topped, because it first appeared at a time when creepypastas weren't really a thing yet, so a large number of people believed that the story was not fiction and thus it scared the shit out of many a reader in its time. Even though everyone knows the story is false now, it still manages to creep people out. No one even knows who originally wrote it.

Sure, there are stories out there that are better in terms of writing quality and creepiness, but few have had the overall impact that this story did.
