Creepypastas are horror-related legends or images that have been copy-and-pasted around the Internet.

These Internet entries are often brief, user-generated, paranormal stories intended to scare readers.

They include gruesome tales of murder, suicide, and otherworldly occurrences.

According to Time magazine, the genre had its peak audience in 2010 when it was covered by The New York Times.

Horror is a genre of fiction which is intended to, or has the capacity to frighten, scare, disgust, or startle their readers or viewers by inducing feelings of horror and terror.

Literary historian J.

A- Cuddon has defined the horror story as "a piece of fiction in prose of variable length...

which shocks or even frightens the reader, or perhaps induces a feeling of repulsion or loathing".

It creates an eerie and frightening atmosphere.

Horror is frequently supernatural, though it can be non-supernatural.

Often the central menace of a work of horror fiction can be interpreted as a metaphor for the larger fears of a society.

An Internet meme is an activity, concept, catchphrase or piece of media which spreads, often as mimicry, from person to person via the Internet.

Some examples include posting a photo of people lying down in public places (called "planking") and uploading a short video of people dancing to the Harlem Shake.

Paranormal events are phenomena described in popular culture, folklore, and other non-scientific bodies of knowledge, whose existence within these contexts is described to lie beyond normal experience or scientific explanation.
