Creepypastas are just the internet equivalent to urban legends.
Even though this has been said many, many, many times before. I still can't help but notice a lot of disturbed fantards on this Wiki claiming Creepypasta's to be real.
It should be obvious to anyone by now that they are not true stories. I know that there are a lot of Creepypastas that are based on events that could potentially happen to someone in real life, or based on an already established urban legend. But too many people take them at face value and legitimately think they're real.
