A long, long time ago, I was introduced to Creepypasta through Slenderman. Truth be told, I had a bit of an obsession with Slendy for awhile...Until I almost scared myself into a nine foot hole which likely would have caused serious injury.

The pool at a place I worked had been drained because the pipes busted. It was really dark when I was walking past it, and just across from me was a really tall, strangely shaped figure. My first thought, of course, was Slenderman and I took a step back right into the drained pool. Luckily, I was able to catch myself and only banged up my knees.

As for the tall figure? I was scared half to death by a basketball net that someone had moved to the pool area. Since that moment, I have yet to believe in another Creepypasta.

Tl;dr: Creepypastas can be real to you, but you're likely just going to end up scared and hurt by a basketball net.
