The Elegy Of Emptiness

This... thing...
    I would have to say that this is one of the few things that deep down scares me, and it's origins are reasonable. One of the more famous creepypastas (short stories people write to try and scare people) is simply titled BEN. BEN is the story of a guy who buys a copy of The Legend of Zelda, Majora's Mask and unnatural things happen to him while experiencing the gameplay. For a large majority of the time, he (the player) is walking around the game normally... except, there is no one there. Not a single person is there, there is no sound playing, it's just him... alone. Just this alone is grounds to be creepy enough, but after some time, this statue shows up, put of nowhere, right behind you. It then keeps following you by teleporting to where you are standing. Faster and faster.

The reasons why this is frightful for me seem to be very broad. The statue is a symbol for the story, which in itself is scary. But I think there is also a deep down fear of being alone and the only other thing in your life is a former shell of yourself. Another reason I can come up with is that the statute itself is creepy. I mean, look at it, it just stares at you and doesn't do anything back.
