Favorite creepypastas ?

Simple question ! What are your favorite creepypastas ? or just internet horror stories in general, I guess when writing the title I was thinking of older things like Ted the Caver but if you got any more recent recs it's still fun to see !

I really love internet horror stories when I was small I used to read A LOT of them and I don't remember all of them that well but I remember Penpal (originally from reddit i think) really stuck with me, but I was also terrified of Smile Dog because I was so sure the picture cursed me

My personal favorite is "The Strangest Security Tape I've Ever Seen"! I don't think it's as popular as some other classics, but it has always stuck with me since I first read it.

"1999"

i read when i was 13, and its the best creepypasta that i read since for, the text  is very extense (thats why i still hasnt re-read), but i swear that worth it. Its about a guy who remembers from a old weird channel that he saw it when he was a child, its very well writed and i remember of the goosegumps that i feel when i read it.

Definitely Ted the caver, it scared me so much when i read it when i was young, and the spookiness is entirely built up without any jumpscares or any cliché creepypasta, def recommend

i was kind of a casual creepypasta enjoyer as i had untreated anxiety disorders as a tween on the internet. i think the insistence on maintaining "keyfabe" in a lot of creepypasta circles really made my anxiety worse about that stuff... even when i was sure that a lot of it wasnt real
i dont really have a favorite one from back then but i think the russian sleep experiment is a cool short story regardless of how hokey it sounds to me as an adult lol

Hm.. I was too late to most of the creepypasta stuff, but I love internet horror in general (as long as its not gorey :D) My favorite is INTERLOPER though, it's not really "scary" IMO but it uses a lot of the creepyasta tropes (sentient ai, shady companies, games being corrupted) but presents it from the perspective of someone analyzing all the creepy stuff. It's so well put together it really really feels like one of those internet deep dive videos

I knew nothing about Creepypasta on a personal level growing up, I only knew them from a Minecraft mod but that being said I think my favorite has to be Smile Dog. He is cute to me in his own perturbing and peculiar way.
Actually... One that I just remembered while typing this, I was obsessed with Candle Cove and I think it made a larger impact on my development as a person than I thought. Even if it was a silly story I was obsessed with for like, a month. It definitely had lasting effects on my present day tastes in media.
