My Romanian grandmother once told me that she would never walk through a crossroads. If possible, she would walk around where the roads intersected. For almost ten years, I was a cemetery groundskeeper and gravedigger. I never found my job "creepy." I considered it an honor and at times; rather sorrowful. Thank you, Lighthouse Horror.
The only thing better than clocking out of work is seeing a Lighthouse Horror notification, and to have it be a rules story...you've made my night yet again!
That "I still think there's no way they dont already know about this" mindset is like the bystander effect where an assault will be happening in a crowd and no one will call for help or step in because they figure someone else will and they dont want to be bothered.
People might not break the rules if “Just because” wasn’t the only explanation given to children. They’d learn early that there are legitimate reasons to follow instructions, reasons that will save you from a fate worse than death. Even something simple as “It’s for your safety, we do X to protect us from a possible danger. Even if it sounds silly, your life isn’t ever worth gambling with”. It might be hit or miss, but it’s a better thing than the ole “Because I said so”
I'd say that depends on age, you don't really want to induce a hysterical fear of death in your child at an early age, but certainly you can be straightforward with kids a lot, they understand a lot and even if they don't they'll take it seriously most likely.
@@mrcydesign I agree, I wouldn’t tell a toddler that but a kid close to ten or so sure, the thing about me I am ambivalent to death, but it’s not something scary to me. I think kids are resilient like you said, and they are only going to be as scared as you the parent are. If one is serious but still calm about it, they shouldn’t really panic.
??? Really is that Why Bottle of Rat Poison and Car Fluid have to Have DO NOT DRINK Printed on them? People are stupid and Curious just knowing about something is a Danger DOES NOTHING to Prevent some People from doing it Just to see what Happens. Those labels are to prevent the Companies from Being SUED NOT to stop anyone from drinking them doing stupid dangerous stuff with them. Its like that Joke if there was a GIANT BUTTON marked DO NOT TOUCH END OF THE WORLD BUTTON you seriously think NO One would Press it?
Knew Jacob was going to get it the moment I heard the skater boy accent. Great job with giving each character their own personality! It's a pleasure to see your voice acting talents grow with each video 💙
I was always told to hold my breath when driving past cows. While I'm pretty sure this was because of the smell, now I'm worried the cows might come and kill me
This struck a chord with me because my grandfather was a gravedigger, among other things. Thinking about him, I realize that some facts about his life could lend themselves very well to a spooky character. Aren't the best stories built around a nugget of truth?
I worked as a grounds keeper at a grave ward when I was a kid. Only creepy thing that ever happened was that the top 2-4 feet of ground shifted about 5 feet down hill taking the headstones with it. We didn't realize it had moved that much until we were digging a fresh hole and the backhoe went into an old coffin and brought up bones and wood. We quickly jumped in the hole, replaced the pieces and back filled that grave. We hired a ground penetrating radar company and we got the headstones back where they belong. The newer system uses underground concrete vaults that the coffin fits in. FYI Don't waste your money on flowers and wreaths at burials, we hated climbing into the vaults to dig them out and throw them in the dumpster.
There is a channel from a mortitian, she is all about natural burials. Btw: in Europe it's not common to pump a body full of chemicals and have an open casket - showing.....like at all. That seems to be an US thing. You can even add your ashes ( Calcium, minerals, micronutrients added to seeds and molassis to be made into a feeding block for deer, squirrels, fish, etc. Or be dug to nurish a tree....
I think this is one of the best videos you've ever done, Lighthouse. Not only is the story great, but your voice-acting for Jacob is so good, I feel like he's somebody I might actually know in real life... which makes the end hit that much harder.
Clyde has a mausoleum roof over his head, food in the ground, and a full time job. I'd leave him alone... However, too keep Clyde from going rogue. I'd keep bodies parts just incase there weren't any deaths. Use prosthetics to fool the families and it will keep Clyde in check. The zombie is obviously on board with the deal. Unless Clyde is indestructible...it's worth the sacrifice.
He probably is indestructible. Why would the authorities who have serious firepower keep him if they could eliminate him? There's no benefit, not monetary nor political, side from saving a pebble of money from paying an actual person to dig graves. The risk is too large, but since they accepted the "deal" it means they simply had no choice
@@anamggss - True, they didn't think of counter measures to keep him from going rogue. They should have had body parts or some alternative to keep him satiated throughout low death times. Hell, death row has a few lucky contestants. Few serial killers, rapist, child molestaters etc.😄 Pick the worst among them and toss Clyde a few.
Like John Snow you guys know nothing. Bullet to the brain kills Clyde. If you wanna be extra careful burn the body too. Those eyes didn’t fall out of his head because they were bored. Somebody took them out.
Most stories like this revolve around contracts, this one likely originating with either the inception of the graveyard or the first keeper's death. So unless you have a means of robbing the contract of force, you're stuck with an unkillable caretaker. Or whomever destroys the grave digger becomes the next.
Hey Lighthouse. Just want to let you know we all appreciate your narrations very much. Thank you for your dedication to your story telling and we love you ❤️
My favorite creepypasta story told by my favorite channel 😍 I only have one superstition when I'm visiting a graveyard if I have to walk between gravestones or over a grave to get where I need to go I'll apologize to each and every grave and the same going back out
@@ThestuffthatSaralikes same my mom terrorized me about stepping on graves if I find myself in a graveyard now I catch myself apologizing when I accidentally step on a grave. Apparently the family who built my 100+ year old house buried their dead on the land so now I'm constantly wondering if I'm stepping on a grave in my backyard.
Me too. But maybe because the youngest grave I had to ever step on - to place stones shaped like a heart - belonged to a 5 year old. It happened almost 3 decades ago. I was 10 when she died. And it was her families fault. Food poisoning . All 5 children. They didn't care , all children went to church and ran out to vomit, no one cared, until it was too late . The youngest died. Agnes. One on dialyais for a year. One child later conmited the s word. The middle child was my best friend in elementary school, but we got lost when we changed schools and they didn't even have a phone ( landline) in the 80ies - and no car. Nor were the children ever allowed to Touch the TV. Or take the couvera from the couch. ( Only play in the hall ways. A 3 Story house. I only remember the green carpet ......) Only show it to guests. You know the picture by now. And that there was a belt hanging on a nail.
Honestly I'm not sure why no one prepared for when no one was dying. SOMEONE knew Clyde's nature. Why on earth is it worth while to keep Clyde around if every now and then he kills one of your own..? Not at the end of this video yet, so we'll see
My grandpa worked at a graveyard, which was actually a cemetery (the difference is that a graveyard is directly connected to a church), but he dug the graves and covered them up. He was a WWII veteran, and he had no superstitions. He thought reality was scarier than make-believe.
Dude! I really really hope you are making some money doing this! I mean it's incredible how many stories you have voiced, expertly I might say, and how reliable your uploads are.
Excellent narration of this marvelously creepy and clever story by SnooHobbies7109! Such an interesting explanation behind a very common superstition! Very well done. I don't think I'll ever look at graveyards the same way after this. Thank you both!!
I guess I'm screwed one day because I live across from a cemetery and my sister and I are the cemetery keepers. I go inside at night when I can't sleep. I've never been scared because it's mostly family and prowling nocturnal creatures.
I initially felt sorry for Clyde when you were describing his roars from hunger and his movements.......that didn't last long, poor Jacob! I seriously almost cried. I did get very tickled at your interpretation of the boys' banter, great job lol. Hope that made sense, it's almost 1:30am but I need to listen to more LH
Great story! I just love where Jacob didn’t want to see Clyde eating anymore and then your first person character was like, “But I did!” 😭😂 Your tone had me laughing. It’s no different than how you read other stories but just the way it was said had me rolling for a good moment. Lol I was thinking, “what a morbid character that kid is.” 😂
Thanks for another one of your fantastic tellings, my friend. You are undoubtedly UA-cam's best narrator.... Without a...doubt. You know what I'm saying.
anytime Jesse! I've been finding some really great authors like this lately, and honored to help share their work. Thanks for all your kind words & support!
Thanks for the upload! I always look forward to your voice in the evenining. I know the old "hold your breath" rule, too. Also some other strange old "rules." 🥰
Everytime i see a notification from Lighthouse Horror my hearth beat faster to find a comfort place to watch and hear , again this story make me think twice or more to take a short cut at a graveyard ... - _ -''' ... never encounter anything yet , great story thank you .
Excellent story and narration...it's like listening to old time radio shows where you would have to use your imagination and visualize the events as they were happening. This was creepy! Thanks for all your hard work.
You are my favorite horror narrators. I pop on your episodes and minimize the window while I work. I would be lost in corporate hell without you. Thank you for everything you do.
Wow, that was brilliant. I was supposed to be making dinner but I got so engrossed in this tale - dinner in my house will be a late one tonight. Narration as always, excellent. Wow!!!
Completely off topic but we watched the classic 80s movie “Stand By Me” and I thought Lighthouse could of narrated the movie as well as if not better than Richard Dreyfuss.
I used to work across the street from a cemetary (whatever jackasses decided to build an old people's care home there need thumped), and it was an eery place in the brightest sunlight. At night, this weird mist would come out of the ground, seemingly out of the graves, and form almost a wall about 3 feet up. I used to walk at night, so I witnessed this firsthand more than once.
This reminded me of the famous Chinese vampire movie in Hong Kong called "Mr Vampire" where the vampire can only sense human by their breathe, and one has to hold the breathe to escape from it.
Grave digging isn't really a job no one wants to do, even in small towns-It's often done with machinery which doesn't take too much time(hand dug in tight spaces or inclines tho) That being said, I would have liked to see the characters chat/hear about the town council- to give more reason why something like this happens, as I bet they are superstitious/tradition driven people. I bet they're super old ngl lol Awesome narration and story selection as always LH!
Great story! It would have tied it together to find out Jason's mom was the daughter of a police officer who was active back when the middle aged jogger disappeared. With that one detail, we'd know how she knows the rule and also what the police/city know.
I think its like that everywhere. I think its done at night out of respect for the living and the dead. It wouldnt help grieving people to see their loved ones grave being dug or seeing the hole filled in.
We had this strange rule along time ago when i lived on this dirt road. A person had died in that house, but his spirit only ever wondered from the kitchen to the bathroom where they drowned. On random days there would be this knocking on the front door. My dad would answer it and it would always be this little girl in a pink tutu. Yes a pink tutu. We knew everyone in the area and she indeed wasnt any of theres. She would ask for something and the rule was to never tell her no. Even though she was never there when we came back. He said he knew it was a spirit and not to tell her no. He'd even tell her yes to something we didnt even have. The story goes on.
I remember that superstition you were supposed to hold your breath so a spirit could not get into to and take over your body is the version I was told as a kid lol
You would have thought that if they new what was going on why onto leave him a dead cow outside the mossoleum! It would be easier than people getting killed. Great story though !
the problem is thati am pretty sure it is not a zombie, it's a ghoul a type of monster from legend which only eats human flesh, so only dead humans or humans it kills would slake it's unholy hunger
(Dead) mans was just doing his job, but I was curious about what would happen in the case of no death for a while, too. I actually love this idea of a zombie gravedigger. It initially made me think of Dampe from Legend of Zelda.
That image of the grave digger!!! 😨 the narration, image and surprise of the image gave my heart a bit of a jump. LOVELY!!! Also I love the main character. Completely rational 😉
Does Clyde have to eat human meat? Because of not, the boys could start using this kids pay in order to regularily buy meat for their Zombie if no one dies for a while.
I grew up with that superstition hold your breathe passing a graveyard, my dad managed several of them I was always like dad how do you hold your breathe for so long when you go to work, 😂
Does Clyde dislike venison?😂 When there was a dry spell of deaths, would he not be willing to eat something other than people? I bet a deer would’ve made him happy during his hungry days
I grew up near a cemetery and would always take the shortcut through there to avoid this really dangerous 90 degree turn on the highway next to the cemetery on my dog walks. I’m an opera singer, so I used to sing as I walked through the cemetery and pretty much everywhere I’d walk, since this is was out in the country. There’s a trailer with people who live about 150 meters from the cemetery, and one day whilst I was at the post office in town, they told me, “We used to hear this voice coming out of the cemetery a couple of times a day, and we thought it was haunted and were scared, until one day when we saw you coming out of the cemetery with your dog.”😂
He does nothing to stop it, does nothing to avenge his friend, and then runs away. What a coward. Screw the city officials and the cops, take matters into your own hands and get rid of the zombie. At least seal the mausoleum from the outside so it can't get out.
I was just talking about this thing I've been doing my whole life. I thought it was to keep from breathing life back into the dead because they'll steal your breath.
My Romanian grandmother once told me that she would never walk through a crossroads. If possible, she would walk around where the roads intersected. For almost ten years, I was a cemetery groundskeeper and gravedigger. I never found my job "creepy." I considered it an honor and at times; rather sorrowful. Thank you, Lighthouse Horror.
thanks for sharing that Walter!
@@LighthouseHorror You're welcome!

As someone who works as a night guard it's especially fun considering how many Rules stories there are about my job
@@lorddingus42 But you aren't near a graveyard, are you .....Clyde ? 😳
Edit: Auto correct decided to change to German.
@@janedoex1398 That's true I work nowhere near a graveyard.
Agreed
I highly recommend you check out "the dark somnium" and one of his best creepypasta "I'm a guard stationed at a secret government prison"
That "I still think there's no way they dont already know about this" mindset is like the bystander effect where an assault will be happening in a crowd and no one will call for help or step in because they figure someone else will and they dont want to be bothered.
The bystander mindset doesn't only come from people not caring, it can sometimes come from fear of repercussion
People might not break the rules if “Just because” wasn’t the only explanation given to children.

Yeah the older I get the more I realize its important to say the "why" as well when you are giving instructions
People being cryptic is the worst trope in horror

*YOU HAD ONE JOB*
I think its like that everywhere. I think its done at night out of respect for the living and the dead. It wouldnt help grieving people to see their loved ones grave being dug or seeing the hole filled in.
We had this strange rule along time ago when i lived on this dirt road. A person had died in that house, but his spirit only ever wondered from the kitchen to the bathroom where they drowned. On random days there would be this knocking on the front door. My dad would answer it and it would always be this little girl in a pink tutu. Yes a pink tutu. We knew everyone in the area and she indeed wasnt any of theres. She would ask for something and the rule was to never tell her no. Even though she was never there when we came back. He said he knew it was a spirit and not to tell her no. He'd even tell her yes to something we didnt even have. The story goes on.
This was true by the way
One of the best yet! Thank you
LOVE the new voices! Keep up the great work, Mr.Lighthouse!
I remember that superstition you were supposed to hold your breath so a spirit could not get into to and take over your body is the version I was told as a kid lol
Part 308 of thanking the lighthouse horror for their constant uploads
You would have thought that if they new what was going on why onto leave him a dead cow outside the mossoleum! It would be easier than people getting killed. Great story though !
the problem is thati am pretty sure it is not a zombie, it's a ghoul a type of monster from legend which only eats human flesh, so only dead humans or humans it kills would slake it's unholy hunger
(Dead) mans was just doing his job, but I was curious about what would happen in the case of no death for a while, too. I actually love this idea of a zombie gravedigger. It initially made me think of Dampe from Legend of Zelda.
I absolutely love the way you narrate keep up the great stories thank you. 😁😁
That image of the grave digger!!! 😨 the narration, image and surprise of the image gave my heart a bit of a jump. LOVELY!!! Also I love the main character. Completely rational 😉
Jacob's "Oh my Gawd" just cracks me up, it's like he could be the brother of Janice on friends😂
I love stuff like this right now during the start of spooky season. Perfect. Thank you.

Yay! 👻👻👻🥰🥰🥰🥰! I need this. It has been a very stressful day. Nothing like a lighthouse creepy story to wind down and relax.
Sounds like the boys have never heard of a goul
work only at night? no people (except for the dead XD)? Out in nature? I should apply to be a gravedigger !
Does Clyde have to eat human meat? Because of not, the boys could start using this kids pay in order to regularily buy meat for their Zombie if no one dies for a while.
Love listening to your voice. I fall asleep to your stories every night
I grew up with that superstition hold your breathe passing a graveyard, my dad managed several of them I was always like dad how do you hold your breathe for so long when you go to work, 😂
I love the salt rule.
Hey you've spilled salt, now... SPREAD IT EVERYWHERE!
Does Clyde dislike venison?😂 When there was a dry spell of deaths, would he not be willing to eat something other than people? I bet a deer would’ve made him happy during his hungry days
I love Jacob. He’s the best
Edit: Damnit.
Rest In Peace Jacob
I grew up near a cemetery and would always take the shortcut through there to avoid this really dangerous 90 degree turn on the highway next to the cemetery on my dog walks. I’m an opera singer, so I used to sing as I walked through the cemetery and pretty much everywhere I’d walk, since this is was out in the country. There’s a trailer with people who live about 150 meters from the cemetery, and one day whilst I was at the post office in town, they told me, “We used to hear this voice coming out of the cemetery a couple of times a day, and we thought it was haunted and were scared, until one day when we saw you coming out of the cemetery with your dog.”😂
My granddaughter and I go out walking and exploring graveyards we found some fantastic graveyards and some we plan on going back to.
Jacob's voice is hilarious...you are very talented!
graveyards always have a veil of darkness at night around them at night compared to surrounding properties
"or tossing salt over your shoulder"
oop. i feel called out.
He does nothing to stop it, does nothing to avenge his friend, and then runs away. What a coward. Screw the city officials and the cops, take matters into your own hands and get rid of the zombie. At least seal the mausoleum from the outside so it can't get out.
Yay . Another great story guys. Good job
Jacob's valley accent, is taking me out lol. I don't know if it's intentional or not but I love the fact you decided to make that creative choice.
I love how Jacob kinda sounds like Mitch Hedberg.
You chose a really great one it was amazing even though it has a simple concept
That is one of the best stories ever! Thoroughly entertaining.
love your narrations!! you bring the story alive....or..keep it creepy...hehe
My best friend's dad is a grave digging/cemitery worker. I have to send them this
VERY,very, cool story ,for real THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
I was just talking about this thing I've been doing my whole life.
I thought it was to keep from breathing life back into the dead because they'll steal your breath.
You had me holding my breath! 😅🤣
