I agree with LOLSKELETONS that creepypasta is just a modern day urban legend. As for the oldest urban legend there is, that would most likely go back to Roman times with stories about Hades, at least. Or it could go even farther back to Mesopotamia with their vampire lore. Finding the first urban legends is a fruitless process, because they date back longer than humans have been around. Although, to be fair, those people really believed in those things. But with the shocking number of people who believed that Squid's Suicide was real, I suppose that's not really that big of a deal.
