Well it did scare me back then too. But there are other scary stories that have come out since then. Also, many other great gaming creepypastas have also come out since then as well.

Also, I knew that this story was fake before the creator said it was. I really don't believe in ghosts anyways.

Jeff the Killer and Squidward's Suicide revolutionized creepypastas too but those stories were crap. Being revolutionary has more to do with its cultural impact then its quality.

As I've stated with the footage, it is nothing special. It may have looked great back then to many but I just find it to be nothing more then a montage of glitches. There are a couple of scary scenes in it but really nothing too substantial which makes it stand out.
