creepypasta horror and paranormal stories

One reason is that they often take familiar settings or things, like video games in the case of 'Ben Drowned', and turn them into something terrifying. It makes people look at ordinary things in a whole new and scary way. Also, the Internet has made it easy to spread these stories. People love to share things that give them a good scare, and creepypastas are perfect for that. They can be shared on forums, social media, etc. quickly and easily.

One story I heard was about a haunted house. A family moved in and at night, they would hear strange whispers. Doors would open and close on their own. They saw shadowy figures in the hallway. Eventually, they couldn't take it anymore and moved out.

One popular paranormal horror story is 'The Amityville Horror'. It's about a family who moves into a house with a dark past. Strange noises, cold spots, and apparitions start to haunt them. Another is 'The Shining'. A writer takes his family to an isolated hotel where the son starts to see disturbing visions and the father slowly goes insane due to the hotel's malevolent spirits.

They're appealing because they play on our fear of the unknown. We don't fully understand the paranormal world, so stories about it create a sense of mystery and unease.

Creepypasta horror stories influence modern horror culture in multiple ways. Firstly, they've created new horror archetypes like Jeff the Killer. His look and backstory have inspired cosplay and fan art, spreading the horror aesthetic. Also, the way these stories are shared online, often in a viral way, has shown how horror can be quickly and widely disseminated in the digital age. This has led to more independent horror creators emerging. Moreover, they've introduced new types of horror, like the psychological horror in 'Russian Sleep Experiment' that makes people think about the limits of the human mind and body.

The unknown is the scariest element. In Creepypasta like 'Slenderman', his facelessness and unclear motives make him terrifying. You don't know what he wants or why he's there. In horror icons too, like Jason Voorhees from 'Friday the 13th', his undead state and unending thirst for revenge are scary. There's no reasoning with him.
