Etymology
Creepily comes from the verb creep, which meant 'to move quietly' or 'move close to the ground', like an insect or someone trying not to be seen. So, when something happens creepily it makes you feel uneasy or afraid because it feels like slow, quiet, or strange movement that surprises you.
