Ah, Reddit. You weird, wonderful microcosm of the Internet.
While YoureCreepy doesn’t really delve into the phenomenon of creepypasta much, save where it interacts with real life (as in the Slenderman stabbing, The Well to Hell, or Capgras Delusions) Reddit is a bastion and often the spawn-point for a lot of these stories. If you do a quick search of the site you can come up with hundreds of threads about users different experiences ranging from home invasions, to mysterious animals, and much more. While you can’t always trust what you read on the internet, and doubly so what you read on Reddit, these threads are usually quite popular and bring in a multitude of stories. The two most cultivated lists are held by /u/mysterious_baker and /u/vaguepagan.
This is a capture of /u/mysterious_baker’s thread. I’ve removed theoretical threads and META threads for easier reading. The live collection can be found here.
/u/vaguepagan has a list dedicated to paranormal question. It contains somewhere over 400 threads as of the time of this writing (August 2017) and can be found here.
If you’re unfamiliar with the Reddit schema, threads that are tagged [SERIOUS] disallow obvious joke answers and dismissive non-responses. You’ll notice a lot of similar theme and questions collected here (reposts in the lexicon) but there are, in fact, different comment chains and often contain different responses. Be aware that, particularly in threads not marked with a [SERIOUS] tag, you may fall prey to a weird Reddit in-joke or two and potentially be beat with jumper cables.
