I don't think I've ever been scared by a creepypasta, but there are some really neat ones out there.
The Smiling Man is one of my favorites.
Ted the Caver is a classic.
I have a soft spot for Slenderman. I think this is one of the reasons I'm enjoying the game Ghostwire: Tokyo so much right now; one of the common enemies throughout the game looks like Slenderman.
There's list of some sorts out there called "Serene Knowledge" that I read through every once in a while that has some dark surrealism woven throughout. None of them are full on stories, but definitely have the potential to be. Funnily enough, almost every time I have the urge to scroll through it again, I have to re-search for it because every site that I've saved with it has gone down for one reason or another.
