N.k thank you, I wish more people here understood the idea that REAL horror can come from every day things that are unordinary in just that right psychologically unsettling sort of way. In my opinion some of the absolute best creepypastas don't involve monsters, gore, ghosts, or knife-wielding psychos. A story doesn't need to be outright "scary" in order to be disturbing or unnerving.

The only creepypastas that can spook me in the slightest are the ones that seem like something that could have really happened, even if somewhat paranormal. Some of the stories here are just so outlandish that they seem more like scripts to bad B-movies than actual good, creepy fiction.

Though, I suspect the reason why stories like this one get so many reactions of "meh, not scary" is because there's a lot of teenagers here just looking for cheap thrills and tend to overlook and/or not understand the stories like Barbie.avi that are just unsettling and require one to actually consider WHY it is unsettling.
