Yep I am in the dark here, too!

Can someone please explain the term "Creepypasta" to me?
The following is from the Wikipedia entry for the term.
“Creepypasta is a portmanteau of the words creepy and copypasta; the term was coined on the imageboard 4chan around 2007.
Creepypasta originally referred to short user-generated horror stories that were copy and pasted across the internet; the term has since become a catch-all term for horror content posted onto the internet. The subject matter of creepypasta varies widely and can include topics such as ghosts, murder, zombies, and haunted television shows and video games. Creepypastas range in length from a single paragraph to lengthy, multi-part series that can span across multiple media types.”
In addition to YouTube there are whole websites dedicated to Creepypastas where you can read the stories. Google is your friend.

This is where creepypasta really blossomed and there are so many good stories and authors. Many of the authors who began on this subreddit have gone on to become published writers, including C.K. Walker/Rebecca Klingel, who is on the writing team for the Haunting of Hill House show!
