Howdy folks! OP here to once again wish you well & i hope you enjoy this tale! I tried to encapsulate the sheer fear of being in caverns and the unknown aspects of what dwells in old places; especially living where I do. I hope you enjoy it & will consider listening to the other works Dark Somnium & RomNex have narrated, more is coming and I appreciate all the well wishes you send! I hope your days are bright & wonderful; you are loved. - TJ
The effects made the story that much more immersive . Why other youtubers don't incorporate sound effects into there stories is beyond me. I guess that's a good thing because D.S. stands out , I could be wrong but I haven't heard any
@@draztiktunez7104 I mean its easy to understand why other youtubers don't. Its because they don't have to. The base effort level is enough to garner views, which is the point of making these videos. Why spend an extra hour or two composing music and putting in sound effects when you can cut those hours and make more content and garner more views? If this story telling side of youtube was more competitive then im sure they would, but they simply don't have to. However, Dark's music, sound effects, and emotional voice in his videos make him stand out, which is why i always come back to his channel. He's created his own niche by using sound effects, and honestly its better that other youtubers don't so he stays unique
This kind of story is my favorite. Ones involving nature. The national park stories. The skinwalker stories. I don't know exactly what makes these stories so thrilling. Maybe some of it being Lovecraftian, maybe some other parts of it not being so close to home traumatic? Thank you for the creepypasta delivery
Your stories have always been good, but the quality keeps improving! I love the sound design and your ability to inject different emotions into your stories.
"Let's go explore a dangerous cave and not tell anyone where we are going. We'll shut the GPS location off on our phones and not bring extra supplies. What could fo wrong?"
I would imagine because of all the extra work. Mr Somnium here also does the music for all the stories! I'm not going to lie dude, he's made it almost impossible for me to enjoy anyone else's narrations, they seem so damn boring after hearing everything he adds to his.
Honestly it's the sound design of this guys videos that keep me coming back, though his narrations are top notch too. I love Creepypasta but no one else on UA-cam make their videos as rich and immersive as TheDarkSomnium does. It's a shame but also makes him one of the best, if not the best creepypasta narrator on UA-cam.
Ya know why I love this channel? The effort that goes into each story- -this dude makes all this music, for his music channel and his reads -He reads others' stories, but he also writes his own stories -He does different character voices, without sounding cheeky, and brings on other readers too -plus his voice is super easy to listen to, in the sense that his voice is just smooth and calming- very easy to listen to the story and immerse yourself in the story No joke, Dark Somnium is my favorite reader. Followed closely by Corpse (I'm an OG sub, was one of his first 1000!) and MrCreepypasta. I listen to others, but thats my top 3, and this channel is number 1!
Me and a friend came across this cave in a mountain, we had to bend down to walk through the entrance. It was daytime but as soon as I stepped in I knew we would need a flashlight. We didn't have one so, we left, deciding to come back to it later.. we never did...maybe that was for a very good reason
In so many of these stories there's an arrogant "Tray" type and they always die. This came as no surprise; I laughed when he died so soon. But great narration. You're one of my favourite narrators. 😄👍
I just got to the part where he was having the dream about being drawn to an opening in the rock just his shape and size and scrolled down to see if anyone made this comment.
@@bellabomination Same! The Enigma of Amigara Faults is up there as one of my favourite junji ito stories so I immediately recognised it. (Noone gives me nightmares like my favourite manga artist ❤)
I thought this was another story within the deepest part of ocean/earth series, but it is still a very good one. Great narration as always! I got caught up with your channel when I heard your old moon stories and I am waiting for the next "swat" story (part 4 i believe)
@@Darksomnium no worries man! We will be patient :) for some reason, I listen to your vids late at night when I am having a hard time sleeping and sometimes I fall a sleep in the middle of the story. Not your fault, maybe the way you narrate is relaxing...
Great sound it was all encompassing and I felt inside that petrifying cave. One thing tho, wtf did he stay in that town? I’d move as far away as my money and feet could take me to get away from those hellish things that killed my friends..
I've watched nearly every video on your channel by now. You've really come a long way, what you produce now is beyond professional audiobook recordings I've purchased. Sincerely, thank you for producing such great content and doing it all for free. Looking forward to your next story :)
Better than going to the moaning cave with your friends Turns out it was a popular grinder meeting spot Also the hole dream reminds me of the classic junji ito story the enigma of Amigara fault
glad i stumbled on your channel, got some potential health issues that have sent my anxiety into over drive and getting engrossed in these stories is great way to take my mind of it.
This sounds like one of Junji Ito's stories. Specially the line "a small opening in a large cliff edge, no bigger than me almost as if it were manufactured to my size and stature".
Great stories. Been listening to you for over a year now. Top Drawer. You introduced RomNex. Thank you for her too. Especially when you story together. Again. Top Drawer.
You is my favorite narrator. So much effort put into your videos. Thank you for giving me entertainment while I is on leave from work from an injury. If you or anyone else needs a country accent I has a thick southern accent
This was a good one, of course, because the stories you pick are usually pretty good, and even when they aren't, you make them good with all of your sound editing, effects and music. Great job! Please don't ever stop. I'd never sleep again!! Lol 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👻👻👻👻🤴🏽🤴🏽🤴🏽🤴🏽🤍🤍🤍🤍🤴🏽🤴🏽🤴🏽🤴🏽👻👻👻👻👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
this story was great but i wanted the last survivor to see it. im picturing muscular hybrid between a humanoid wolf and a demon but needs a fresh body/soul to obtain physical form. Trey did not see the entity coming for him because it wasn't of physical form yet but strong enough to interact with its surroundings in order to kill Trey 1st. This is a hunter/parasite deity that lures, kills, and takes over It's host adding to its strength. It may have needed Bryce's soul to gain enough power to escape the cave and gain permanent form to unleash chaos among the living. Sorry for the long comment but I was intrigued by this "cave spirit's" powers.
I sense that this story was heavily inspired by “The Enigma of Amigara Fault.” Also, the creature reminds me of a Shoggoth as it imitates the voices of the main character’s friends.
Lately I've been really wanted to write some creepy pastas . How to I go about putting them online and getting narrators to take notice and do UA-cam vids like this ? I have stories on paper for days just need to put them online And honestly don't know much about the process . Thank you ahead of time And another great narration bro.
Shout out to TJ.Lea Spoilers .........Down.........Below........ proceed with caution. .. The author should write a part 2 of this .... perhaps the boy who suggested going there in the first place maybe lost a family member in the cave and wasn't brave enough to venture in alone and convinced his friends to go . Maybe legend has it that people who fall victim to this cave are still alive and that's why the "thing" in the cave has a voice , hence the part where it says "how else would we beable to speak" and suggests the kid is "ready to JOIN it" , so I'm just thinking it has to keep its dinner breathing . . Would be fun to explore this cave again 😆 Just a suggestion, my imagination is running wild because I really enjoyed this one . . Thank you!!!!
Line the cave with silves chains engraved with runes and sygals. Set up uv lamp in case of emergency case the thing seems to not like sunlight. Bully it the entire time
Whatever you need, I’ll make the sacrifice to the tech gods. Even all of my video games and most loved first print books. 😆 Thanks for everything Som. You are most appreciated!
Hope everyone has a good weekend! Remember to like and share! (if you want to)
I have a gc we send all your stuff to it and talk about the stories! You're 100%my favorite reader
I wish this came out while i was working out at the gym lhh but i listen to ya old stories 💪🏽

Your storytelling is amazing and The Dark Somnium’s narration there is no better duo
I just had to pause the video to recover from fear. That’s the first I’ve ever has to do that. Amazing story. Cant wait to finish it lol
so... are you familiar with the short Manga "the enigma of amigara fault" by junji ito?😉

Point guard. Lol.

"After all, we are all meat puppets in the end, so why wait?" That line hit me weird
Same I got a weird feeling after hearing it
Edit: And I can’t lie I smiled but not out of happiness
@@cocoawonder5265 Smiling is a natural reaction to a lot of things that we don't know how to react to.

Your stories have always been good, but the quality keeps improving! I love the sound design and your ability to inject different emotions into your stories.
Thank you:)
DS is 1st class quality all the way
"Let's go explore a dangerous cave and not tell anyone where we are going. We'll shut the GPS location off on our phones and not bring extra supplies. What could fo wrong?"
Why no other youtuber has done this but the way you put the suttle effects in it really makes the story immersive .

Same. Plus Lighthouse Horror
That 'The Horror of Amigara Fault' vibe @ 3 minutes in made my sphine eject itself from my body! Good reading Dark!!
i love the juxtaposition of the hilarious couple of vids and back to the serious narrations. A person that has a wide variety haha
Great story! Love the narration. Plus the final sign off was cool....I really liked that.
Junji ito energy intensifies
Fr I was thinking of it when he had His nightmare
Great story!! Again, your ability to emote abject terror..damn...bravo! Thank you
Your sound design on this one was an absolute masterpiece. Thank you for the effort you put in to make sure our experience is fantastic. 🖤
I swear you're the best story teller. You bring life to the stories you read.

Your sound design is OUTSTANDING and really sets you apart from other creepypasta narrators, great job as always!
Don't you hate when you've heard other people have been with one of your exes? This story hits home
Such immersive production. Great job!!
I immediately thought near the beginning of that Junji Ito story with people-shaped holes in the cliff. "THIS HOLE WAS MADE FOR ME!!!"
I just got to the part where he was having the dream about being drawn to an opening in the rock just his shape and size and scrolled down to see if anyone made this comment.
DRRRR DRRRRR DRRRR
Same!! Lol

Ha Ha, I had the same thought. This is a ripoff of Junji Ito.
I can only think of a certain Japanese story and say “that’s my hole”
No! Dude! Staph!😱 That story was traumatizing 😂
AMIGARA FAULT

Why are you so gifted with story telling
Wow this was done so well. It could easily be in episode of the Twilight Zone or one of those other Supernatural adventure shows. Great job.
I just listened to a narration about whispering caves, did the caves somehow level up?
The changing voices between characters in this is amazing,!
The voice effects really sold this one! Very unsettling, even to a grown adult.
It’s like he knew I was having trouble sleeping
I think he would make one of the greatest DM’s of all time
When can we expect some SCP videos?👀😁
.
Never
This sounds like one of Junji Ito's stories. Specially the line "a small opening in a large cliff edge, no bigger than me almost as if it were manufactured to my size and stature".
2:50 - aah a nod to a great classic 👌
can you do more stories like the “i’m a guard at a secret government prison”. that story was by far my favorite and i would love to see more like it
yeah! :D
Thanks for story,As always I injoy the CONTENT, Happy Easter 🐣
bonding in the mountains 😏
Great stories. Been listening to you for over a year now. Top Drawer. You introduced RomNex. Thank you for her too. Especially when you story together. Again. Top Drawer.
Well everyone else knew and still showed him love for being lone survivor respect that truly appreciate this story
Can't wait to listen as I fall asleep! I really look forward to your videos

thank you! and that would be awesome :D
Hoping to see you in a vid if you’re needed, that’d be cool
3:30 The dream sounds like a Junji Ito story called "The Enigma of Amigara Fault," well worth a read.
I listen to all of your narrations while I'm working at night and I swear you give me anxiety attacks some nights 😂
About to spark up a joint when ya boi drops a video, the stars have aligned.

Scary as hell. I enjoyed this so much.
Awesome dark somnium :) u have a great voice man love ur content
This was very well done.
Ooo good one, creepy but also sad in a way too.
When he said a perfectly shaped hole my Mind immediately went to amigara fault. Bone chilling

Oh i really liked this one keep it up friend
all my world of warcraft memories coming back to me after reading the title
Here in the first hour, cant even do that with a reminder 😂😂 I'm excited
Another excellent video
Rip stream? kinda miss watching the chat while i sleep on my tv
Wtf?
Ngl for some reason after hearing the first piano note at the start of the vid I thought Mandus by Jessica Curry was finna start playing.
I sense that this story was heavily inspired by “The Enigma of Amigara Fault.” Also, the creature reminds me of a Shoggoth as it imitates the voices of the main character’s friends.
2:50 the enigma of Amigara fault anyone?
Nice Story
Well Read. 👏
The way it was described made me feel weird and maybe a little amount of fear
Did anybody else get the urge to want to go down, not to save already dead friends, but to try to kill whatever took their lives.
