I'm glad this thread was created because I've been wanting to talk about this for a while. When it comes to genuinely scary creepypastas, the one that comes to mind is "He Was a New Man" by HumboldtLycanthrope. There's no escape from the horror because even though it's a fictional story, it was inspired by real-life horrors. For second place I'm tempted to say every Tobit story, though there are a couple more terrifying than the others. Banning does a great job of blending fantasy and horror elements with real-life dangers and emotion, which makes the stories all that more frightening and moving.
