I don't think it's impossible to write a Creepypasta that leaves the reader sympathetic toward the entity. I think that sympathy needs to be built slowly though, and the mood of the story needs to remain disturbing or creepy. You can't just say from the start that this entity is good and you should feel sorry for it. Sympathy needs to be earned by the way the entity behaves; then you may have a good pasta. Would be hard to write, and certainly wouldn't try it myself with my level of writing.
