But unlike a lot of people I knew, I continue to enjoy it to this very day. Around one month ago, I discovered creepypastas and immediately became a fan of the site. A few days later I found creepypasta videos on YouTube and was instantly hooked.

Naturally being curious, I decided to open the video about the bane of my childhood.
