This was the first creepypasta I ever read. I've received a little friendly teasing about liking this, but I think it has good points. First of all, while it has unsettling imagery, it doesn't feel the need to have over-the-top gore or violence like some "Lost Episode" pastas do. Overall I'd say it has a nightmarish quality. In nightmares things that are familiar to you can suddenly become bizarre and horrifying, just like in this story. There are also passages which are open to interpretation. I got to the line "There was no sign of Maggie or the pets," and I wondered, "Does that mean that they were taken into custody because the rest of the family could no longer take care of them properly, or does that mean they've died?" I also thought the ending (the last three paragraphs) was a deliciously creepy touch.
