Something's watching from the edge of your screen. Let's find out its name.
You've wandered too far down the internet's dark hallways, and now something's following you. But what kind of presence do you leave behind? Maybe you're Slender Man, cold and calculated, the quiet watcher in the background that no one can explain. Or Jeff the Killer, all rage and ruin, burning just to feel alive. Perhaps you're BEN Drowned, lost in your own nightmare, or Sally, the ghost of innocence that refuses to fade. Every story started with someone who thought they could control the darkness...until it started speaking back.
This quiz dives into the psychology behind horror itself: curiosity, grief, control, and the blurred line between victim and monster. It's about the parts of you that crave chaos and the ones that crave connection, even when it hurts. Are you the watcher, the survivor, or the one who never left the story at all? Take the quiz and uncover which Creepypasta mirrors your shadow.

You wake up at 3am to the sound of static coming from your laptop. The screen is black except for a blinking cursor.
• Type 'hello?' and wait. Curiosity never killed anyone.
• Unplug it and yeet it across the room. Not today, Satan.
• Grab your phone and start live streaming. If something kills you, it's at least great content.
• Open Task Manager and close all running programs. You're not scared, you're just troubleshooting evil.
• Close it. Pretend it never happened. Reality is a choice.
You find a locked door in your apartment building that you swear didn't exist before. There's soft humming coming from the other side.
• Pick the lock. If that doesn't work, break it down. Rules are for other people.
• Move out immediately. You don't stick around for this nonsense.
• Leave it alone but obsess over it daily. Let it really consume your waking thoughts.
• Go door-to-door and ask your neighbors what they know about this mystery door.
• Bring a friend to open it with you. You're brave, not stupid.
It’s the opening scene of a horror movie, and you’re the first one on screen. What are you doing?
• You’re hunched over your desk, headphones on, watching a creepy video that’s been looping for hours. You smell like pee.
• You’re sitting in a diner at midnight laughing to yourself a little too loudly while everyone else pretends not to look.
• You’re standing at a bus stop with your head tilted slightly up, staring at the flickering streetlight. The bus comes and goes, but you never move.
• You’re sitting on the floor of your bedroom surrounded by half-packed boxes. The house keeps making noises, and you jump at every sound.
• You’re scrubbing your hands in the sink, but the water runs clear and they still feel wrong. You scrub harder.
A stranger says they've seen you before, but they don't remember where. How do you respond?
• Smile, tilt your head, hold eye contact. Say nothing.
• Say flatly, 'I get that a lot.'
• Ask them when and where. Like a normal person would.
• Mutter "I hate being seen" and scurry away.
• Say "You did. And you will again". Then walk away.
You get an unexpected message from an unknown number: 'Don't look behind you.'
• Freeze completely. You already know something's there.
• Immediately turn around. Obviously.
• Sigh and ignore it. You've been texted worse.
• Screenshot it, send it to the group chat, and joke about dying.
• Respond "who are you, and how did you get this number?"
You find a VHS tape labeled 'Watch Me' on your doorstep. What do you do?
• Watch it in the dark, at night, alone.
• Toss it immediately into a fire. You've seen at least one horror movie before.
• Invite friends over to watch it with you.
• Hide it but never stop thinking about it. Go slightly mad.
• Put it on someone else's doorstep.
Pick a cursed companion to keep you company.
• A porcelain doll that hums when danger’s near, but sometimes just for fun.
• A black cat that disappears when you’re safe and reappears when you’re not.
• A Labubu that leaks a little blood whenever you squeeze it.
• A small Victorian ghost boy who always stands 2 feet behind you and stares at you with eyes that are a little too wide.
• A crow that collects shiny objects for you, though some of them are still warm.
What kind of attention secretly feels addictive to you?
• When people seem a little afraid of you, but still can’t stay away.
• When everything’s falling apart and somehow all eyes are on you.
• When people count on you, like you’re the last one holding things together.
• When people gossip about you, good or bad.
• When someone sees the messy parts of you and doesn’t flinch.
You catch your reflection smiling when you're not. What's your next move?
• Wave at it. Maybe you'll make a new friend.
• Smash the mirror immediately. Problem solved.
• Whisper, "You can have this one," and walk away.
• Stare back until one of you blinks.
• Sprint out of the room in terror.
What do you like most about the most wonderful form of literature we call Creepypastas?
• The mystery...those eerie little gaps where your brain fills in what's missing. Like you're imagination is part of the story.
• The nostalgia, old internet horror that feels like home in a twisted little way.
• The so-bad-it's-good storytelling. You never know what's going to happen next.
• The tragedy, how every monster used to be someone trying their best.
• The community, people trading stories and building upon them together. It may be slightly cursed, but it's also kind of beautiful.
You give off strong “seen but not heard” energy. People get nervous around you without knowing why, which honestly works in your favor. You don’t talk much because most people don’t deserve your words. You just stand there, waiting, like the world’s tallest red flag.
You’ve officially stopped pretending to be well-adjusted. You like chaos because it’s honest, and at least it keeps things interesting. People underestimate you right before you ruin their day. When you smile, it’s not reassurance...it’s a warning.
You’ve stared at screens long enough to see things blink back. Nostalgia is your coping mechanism, but it’s gotten weirdly sentient. You keep replaying old memories hoping for a different ending. Every glitch feels personal, and honestly, it probably is.
You’ve perfected the “I’m fine” smile that makes people uneasy. You draw others in without trying, and that’s part of the problem. Your whole vibe says “trust me,” while your eyes say “don’t.” You’re charming in the way haunted houses are charming.
You’ve got that quiet, unbothered energy that makes people suspicious. You observe more than you speak, which is great until someone realizes you see too much. You’re not evil, just very practical about your needs. The blood thing is fine. Probably.
You’re the class clown if the class was held in a cursed carnival. Humor is your emotional armor, and you wear it proudly. People think you’re fun until the jokes stop landing and the lights flicker. You’re not trying to be creepy...it’s just a side effect.
You’re too nice for this world, and that’s exactly what makes it uncomfortable around you. There’s a sadness in how soft you are, but you keep smiling anyway. You forgive everything because holding grudges would mean growing up. The ghosts like you best.
You cope by staying busy, twitchy, and vaguely unhinged. You joke your way through pain like it’s a group project. People think you’re resilient, but you’re mostly just exhausted. You’ll help anyone who asks, even if you’re falling apart mid-sentence.
You’ve stopped pretending you’re normal. Solitude makes sense; people don’t. You’ve seen things you shouldn’t have and decided to stay weird about it. Every noise at night is either you or something like you, and honestly, same difference.
You live for the drama and refuse to apologize for it. Subtlety isn’t your thing. You’re all in, all the time. Love, rage, loyalty, chaos, it’s all part of the same playlist. You’re basically a walking warning label with great hair.
