## **Summary**

**Creepypastas** are horror stories of varying lengths, spread across the internet. The term "Creepypasta" is derived from two words: "Creepy" (Something scary) and "Paste" (Derived from copy-paste).

These stories are usually found in wikis dedicated to them, but have also seen submitted to forums, blogs, subreddits, and other sites on the Internet. The objective of these stories is to frighten, unsettle or concern people who come to read these stories, which, by their great recognition, can become urban legends.

The stories presented in the creepypastas include real-life events, cursed video games, lost episodes of television series, or stories created to entertain in which a particular character is presented. Commonly, creepypastas are in a written format, but other formats are also used, such as podcasts, audio narrations on YouTube, or webcomics. Some creepypasta stories are self-contained, while others cross over with other stories in a shared, open universe. Many pastas are one-shots, but others are serialized.

The first known creepypasta story is generally considered to be Ted the Caver, with its first part having released on 23 March of 2001. Creepypastas began gaining rapid popularity later in the 2000s, experiencing their "peak" from 2008 to 2014. Even today, creepypastas are still going strong.

## **Power of the Verse**

The power of the verse varies heavily. The "backbone" of the verse's characters vary from **Human level** to **Peak Human level** or **Wall level**. Many characters reach higher tiers, though; for example, Ani gets to **Town level** with her hax, while The Friends can reach up to **Mountain level**, with their full power letting them level cities with their movement alone and build mountains. Other characters are planetary to even celestial threats, and Creepypasta is also home to a variety of cosmic beings with **Universal** to **High Multiversal** levels of strength. The verse currently peaks from **High Hyperverse level** to **Low Extraverse level**, with its most powerful characters qualitatively transcending infinite-dimensional structures.

## **Adjacent Verses**

There are several so-called "adjacent" verses to Creepypasta, which use its characters and tropes to varying degrees but are actually distinct verses with their own, separate continuity. These verses and Creepypasta cannot be cross-scaled unless otherwise stated.

Often, these verses tend to fundamentally alter and reinterpret the Creepypasta characters that they use, thus contradicting the Creepypasta versions of those characters.
