I agree about reading horror writers to get inspiration. Watching creepy movies might also help. Ju-on / The Grudge really inspired my creepypastas. Well, all my favorite horror films did, but particularly that series. I really like the narrative style. They show you something strange or frightening, and then go back and show what led up to it. It also jumps from character to character as each one becomes cursed for the same reason, and they all meet similar fates. Those are things that I used in my creepypastas. I would say I ripped it off, but I think enough people have used these narrative elements plenty of times, so I don't feel so bad, lol.
