A hive of scary stories? (beehaw.org)

As a teenager, I remember using my family's phone service to load creepypastas onto a tiny Kindle - a trickle of bad scary stories one after the other. I would get on Reddit where, sometimes sure, I would browse r/nosleep, but I was never completely satisfied by the content there. There were cheesy YouTube narrations. There was r/FearMe. We cut to today and I'm getting my horror fix through podcasts like Knifepoint Horror or rereading the House of Leaves (great book), but I still kind of miss the forum vibe of those community-contributed stories. What websites do the rest of you use to scare yourselves? What are your favorite spooky stories? How have your tastes changed and is there anything you guys miss that we might rebuild here in the Fediverse?
