A creepypasta is a variety of story. You need to first satisfy the requirements of writing any short story. That includes plotting the story out. I would suggest starting with an outline of as much as you have, listing the known unknowns.

For the specific plot device of a journal going over the internet there are several devices that could be used. Examples include


 * police release it after the crime


 * journal sections were blogged


 * the journal being hacked off a personal computer and posted is a pattern of the killer

Get up to a clean outline and then post that.

Remember, good creepypasta isn't instant mashed potatoes. It takes time and work.
