'''''[[Sonic.exe]]''''' is a story about a child named Tom, who had received a disk copy of [[wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic the Hedgehog]] from his friend, which was for him to destroy it. In the game, a different title screen is shown, featuring an eyeless Sonic with glowing pupils and blood flowing out of his eyes, with the background turned into a dark, red version, while omnious music plays in the background. The title screen soon fades into black, where a select screen appears, with Tails being the only playable character in it. Tails would appear in the "[[wikipedia:Green Hill Zone|Green Hill Zone]]" level with no actual gameplay. While the level is almost completely empty, continuing to walk forward for long enough would result in dead animals. If Tails makes it towards the end of the level, he will encounter Sonic with his eyes closed. At this point, a short cutscene plays, where Tails slowly walks into Sonic's shoulder. Once Tails touches him, Sonic will open his eyes before cutting into black, with text stating: "''Hello. Do you want to play with me?''" Tails was then brought to the next level, where the "game" was to run away from Sonic, but Tails was caught and killed thereafter. Despite Tails being the only playable character, he is followed by Knuckles and Robotnik. As Robotnik, the goal was to walk down stairs and run forward inside of a castle lined up with lights, where he would encounter Sonic.exe in front of him. From here, a hyper-realistic photo of Sonic.exe appears with the words "I AM GOD!" on the screen. After a while, Tom found a Sonic plush toy covered in blood behind him. | '''''[[Sonic.exe]]''''' is a story about a child named Tom, who had received a disk copy of [[wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic the Hedgehog]] from his friend, which was for him to destroy it.

The most well-known example is that of an amateur writer. The writer narrates in the story that he met an old woman named Mary E, who was one of the three hundred people who found the image when she saw it at the small Chicago-based Bulletin Board System (BBS) in 1992. Mary claimed that after the day she saw the image, she received a floppy disk with one file on it, but was refused to do so. Later on, Mary's husband informed the writer that Mary had committed suicide. The image was considered to have caused nightmares for viewers who viewed it, and had been described as "beckoning" by those who saw the original, and some claimed that the handprint on the image was the hand of the devil. The original image is unknown, but fake recreations of what many people described the original exist.

'''''[[Jeff The Killer]]''''' is one of the classic stories in creepypastas. The story is about a 13-year-old child named "Jeffery Woods," who had recently moved into a new neighborhood with his brother Liu and his parents. On his first day of school, he was bullied by a group of three bullies and threatened with being killed with knives. He was then arrested after his brother Liu took the blame for it, resulting in him becoming very depressed and stressed. His parents forced him to go to the party, where he was attacked by the bullies again. Jeff killed one of them, but he was doused with alcohol and set on fire.<ref name="Screen Rant">Cotter, P.

After being told to go home, Jeff's mother found him carving his face into a smile, vowing to never exert energy to smile again and burning off his eyelids to see his face. At this point, he became insane and killed his family. He became a serial killer, sneaking into people's homes and telling them to "''Go to sleep.''" before killing them.<ref name="Screen Rant" /><ref name="Nerdvana">Houston, M.
