Creepiness is the state of being creepy, or causing an unpleasant feeling of fear or unease.[1] A person who exhibits creepy behaviour is called a creep. Certain traits or hobbies may make people seem creepy to others. The internet has been described as increasingly creepy.[2] Adam Kotsko has compared the modern conception of creepiness to the Freudian concept of unheimlich. The term has also been used to describe paranormal or supernatural phenomenaIn the abstract the feeling of "creepiness" is subjective: for example some dolls have been described as creepy.[3]

The adjective "creepy", referring to a feeling of creeping in the flesh, was first used in 1831,[4] but it was Charles Dickens who coined and popularized the term "the creeps" in his 1849 novel David Copperfield.[5]

During the 20th century, association was made between involuntary celibacy and creepiness.[6]

The concept of creepiness has only recently been formally addressed in social media marketing.[7]

The sensation of creepiness has only recently been the subject of psychological research, despite the widespread colloquial use of the word throughout the years. Frank McAndrew of Knox College is the first psychologist to do an empirical study on creepiness.[8]

Causes
The state of creepiness has been associated with "feeling scared, nervous, anxious or worried", "awkward or uncomfortable", "vulnerable or violated" in a study conducted by Watt et al. [9]: 61  This state arises in the presence of a creepy element, which can be an individual or, as recently observed, new technologies.

Individuals
Creepiness can be caused by the appearance of an individual. A study by McAndrew et al.[8] investigated the characteristics that make people creepy. Creepy people were thought to be more often male than female by an overwhelming majority of participants (around 95% of both male and female participants).[8]: 12  Another study conducted by Watt et al. also found that participants associated the ectomorphic body type (more linear) with creepiness, more than the other two body types (51% vs mesomorphic, 24% and endomorphic, 23%). Other cues of creepiness included low hygiene, especially according to female participants, and a disheveled appearance. Participants also identified the face as an area with potentially creepy features: in particular the eyes and the teeth. Both of those physical features were deemed creepy not only for their unpleasant appearance (ex. squinty eyes or crooked teeth) but also for the movements and expressions they engaged it (ex. darting eye movements and odd smiles).[9]: 61 

In fact, appearance doesn't seem to be the only factor making an individual creepy: behaviors provide cues as well.[9]: 58  Behaviors such as "being unusually quiet and staring (34%), following or lurking (15%), behaving abnormally (21%), or in a socially awkward, "sketchy" or suspicious way (20%)" are all contributing to a feeling of creepiness, as described by Watt et al.'s study.[9]: 61 

Technology
In addition to other individuals, new technologies, such as marketing's targeted ads and AI, have been qualified as creepy.

A study by Moore et al[10] described what aspect of marketing participants considered creepy. The main three reasons are the following: using invasive tactics, causing discomfort and violating of norms. Invasive tactics are practiced by marketers that know so much about the consumer that the ads are "creepily" personalized. Secondly, some ads create discomfort by making the consumer question "the motives of the company advertising the product". Finally, some ads violate social norms by having inappropriate content, for example by unnecessarily sexualizing it.[10]: 48 

It is marketing's extensive knowledge used in an improper way, together with a certain loss of control over our data, that creates a feeling of creepiness.[10]: 44 

Another creepy aspect of technology is human looking AI: this phenomenon is called the uncanny valley.

Humans find robots creepy when they start closely resembling humans. It has been hypothesized that the reason why they are viewed as creepy is because they violate our notion of how a robot should look. A study focusing on children's responses to this phenomenon found evidence to support the hypothesis.[11]: 1210
