One day around 2012-13 at the ripe bold age of 6 or 7 my sister (2 year older than me) came back from school completely distraught.
So ofc like a good sister i ask why she's so freaked out and she starts talking about what happened in school, for some reason her teacher showed chupacabra videos in class and everyone in the class was not surprisingly scared. At home after telling me what happened we went on our shared laptop and we started looking into chupacabras ourselves, safe to say we were both horrified.
But just a few days later i looked into it again, i could not get enough of that feeling of fear because it was so addictive. Then after months of looking up other cryptids i stumbled upon a creepypasta reading by the Czech youtuber StaySteak, it was the first episode, Jeff The Killer.
It became a new obsession for me to the point that when i no longer could find Czech or Slovak creepypasta readings i looked for english ones and forcing myself to understand them.
Without them i would have probably never really cared about learning English as a kid so i'm extremely thankful for discovering them.
