Like when your facebook stalking somone.

If you're describing someone who is creeping on others on FB, maybe a good word would be predatory. If you mean creepy in a more general sense, I'd suggest maybe disquieting or unsettling.

In terms of the offending party's behavior? Shady, freakish, unnerving.

As far as descibing the offending party...Creepy McCreeperson is still a classic :D But lurker/stalker works fine, too.

When I was in college, all the students from one particular school used the word "sketchy."

Actually they overused it, in their valley-girlesque accents, to the point that I began to detest the word itself, but it does function as a good substitute for "creepy."

Eerie? Uncanny? Unsettling? Unnerving? Disturbing? Disquieting? Disconcerting? Ominous? These are each slighting different, but I hope one will work for you.

Cheering you all on!
Note that the original post was from 2013. Hopefully the OP has found the correct word since then.
