Cherubs in Doom 3.
Bloody background growls pinkies made in Doom 1-2 always spooked me. And offcourse Cacodemon's hiss when they float into your face with that big grin of theirs.

That kind of reminds me of Ring for some reason.
The creepiest thing for me was probably under Karazhan with the Upsidedown Sinners in WoW. I hadn't read about it before, and had explored it by chance when WoW was relatively new. That was a creepy experience back then.

That is a boss fight I'll never forget!
Two moments from Resident Evil 2.
1.) The first time you see a licker in the police department!
2.) When you're in the police department, and you run into an interrogation room to find a chess piece key....and a licker jumps through the one-way mirror after you pick it up! Fething terrifying!!!
....needless to say, I was young when I played that game, and I thought lickers were the scariest things on the planet

The creepiest thing I've found in a game has to be a certain incident which happened while I was playing Stalker Call of Pripyat. To put this in context Stalker is fething creepy when it's daytime and the weather is good (ingame).
It was night, there was a thunderstorm in full swing and an emmision (massive radioactive explosion of instant death) had just started. The only cover I could get to was a particulary intimidating looking ruined factory. I only just got to it in time to shelter from the emmision. As I looked outside to see if it was dying down I noticed my visibilty metre was changing and I heard a sound behind me.
That is possibly the only time I've quit a game out of sheer terror.

Actually, although I haven't played it, the ending of Mother (or Mother 2, can't remember) is fething creepy, especially compared to the rest of the game. Most of it is a happy band of friends taking on hordes of pesky bug thingies, and then you get to the boss, which looks like a womb drawn by H.R. Giger, and then turns into a red skull faced fetus, and THEN, to defeat it you go back in time and ABORT it in the womb. Doubly creepy in a game called Mother.
What makes it even worse is that it was inspired by a horrible experience the creator had where he walked into the wrong play at a theatre, in a scene where a woman is murdered...And the poor sap thought it was a RAPE scene.
Argh.
For that matter, coming back to my original post, I actually found Portal 2 quite creepy. Especially GLaDOS's blood curdling electronic scream midway through the game. I can never look at a modem the same way again.

This things been stalking you for the entire game up to this point, you cant look at it for very long without losing your mind, your guy is about 75% insane at this point, and the monster itself is fking insane
the video is a little blurry, but your vision goes blurry when you start losing your mind in the game, so you cant get a good look at it.
it doesn't look like much anymore, but I highly, highly suggest this game for anyone, ever.
See, I've owned that game on steam for awhile now, but I'm only downloading it now due to your post. 
do me a favor give it a chance, the first few (and last 1-2) sections are not scary, they are setting the tone, explore a bit in the beginning, start to understand whats going on. Its also a little unforgiving in some sections that you'll die a bunch. Let me know if the first "combat" sequence makes you panic 
Name of the game for those who cannot access youtube at work please? Also, creepiest moment for me, admittedly going back at 20 and doing it was a doddle, but when I was about 11, the bit in LoZ: Ocarina of Time where you go into the royal tomb in kakariko graveyard (as a kid) and have to dodge the redeads to get an important item (hookshot IIRC). The atmosphere and the screams that paralyzed Link creeped me out sufficiently that it took a good few weeks to get past that particular level...

Silent Hill (the first one) was probably the first game I felt honestly disturbed while playing. As far as more recent ones, Call of Chtulu: DCoE was pretty terrifying, as was the Penumbra series. Honestly, I think they were worse than Amnesia. It was good, but there were parts in the first Penumbra where I just had to walk away for a while because it was getting to be too much.

Which silent hill game (if it's silent hill. I'm assuming it is) has you fight a monster in I think a toilet/bathroom. It's arms reach the floor and it hasn't got hands just a kind of hammer instead. Fighting that.
The ps2 (I think, long time ago) CoC game, shadows over innsmouth I think. Most of that game Especially when you just have to run from the townspeople
Oh Timsplitters 3's under the mansion level. "Ooh Princess! Dinner time!"
And I gotta agree with 2's notre dame level. Still find it funny when you see quazimodo with a shotgun.
Finally: Majora's mask is creepy as hell looking back. You're wearing the face of deceased people and it hurts to put it on (He screams when it happens) Not to mention stuff like the Ufos and how certain people act arround midnight on the last day. Some creepy stuff in that game.
