User blog comment:Foxy The Pirate Fox/What's in a CreepyPasta?/@comment-36105648-20180707054629

That's a very interesting question...

A creepypasta is kind of like, as most people put it, a digital campfire horror story. What makes a scary story a creepypasta is probably how recent, detailed, and popular it is, whereas old scary stories, like Bloody Mary, are classic. I, too, have the same question as you, but the true answer might only belong to the one behind it all. Hope you get answers soon! :)
