I agree he shouldn't tell people what to write, Especially if he's actually getting true experiences being told to him, but thankfully he didn't just say "stop saying that, or I won't use your writing." He did ask for our point of view so hopefully he understands that we do not want people to stop speaking of the silence in the woods if it is actually their experience and they want to write about it:)

    I know that "Everything went quiet" is an over used term, however the average person doesn't know how truly terrifying it is when it happens. Most people are constantly surrounded by background/white noise, the hum of a refrigerator motor, the soft buzz of electric lighting, the chirping of insects, wind rustling through the leaves on the tree outside. The majority of the time our brains filter out these distractions but when all of that is suddenly gone and all you can hear is your heart hammering in your chest so hard it makes your ears ring....knowing that what ever caused the silence is out there listening to the exact same thing you hear.... trying to be quiet by holding your breath only makes your heart beat faster.... lungs burning for precious oxygen... your eyes watering, afraid to blink as you scan the shadow shrouded forest looking for any sign of movement.... alone, isolated, betrayed by your own senses.... That is the absolute terror of "Everything went silent".

      Not believing in ghosts is one thing. not believing then seeing one, but making sure to always find a logic reason first before opting to say it was supernatural is another. but the above is just too much.

      Not true. (Not all the time) I use to live near a forest. Right on the edge of it n play n walk in the woods n animals like squirrels sound an alarm if u get too close n birds will do the same. I've lived next to deer who would stomp, grunt n "hiss" if danger was near by. Owls foxes coyotes will all make noise no matter what either from fear or warning the threat to stay away... the only animal that WON'T make noise is bugs. That is a common movie cliche for the woods to go silent. Its meant to install fear. .....

      @@blackbeauty2166 If a monster/cryptid/dogman is near as you said the bugs and tree frogs that you think are bugs go silent. Those animals make the majority of the woodland noise. Also, the deer ,foxes ,owls will act differently when a huge freak is around as opposed to a human child that they're familiar with. I've lived in or by the woods all of my life. My state, West Virginia is the 3rd most forested state in the country. I used to live out in a hollow that was also home to a barred owl. "Who cooks for you?" is the onamonapia for their call. He/she was always stalking the cat in my thumbnail. He was way too smart for the owl. That bird never made a sound in my presence. I'd come home at night and shine my high beams at the thing. I'd talk to it . I'd pick up the cat in it's presence...... not a peep. Thanks for sharing your personal nature experiences . I love nature and the woods. At least we can agree when when the bugs and frogs are silent, something is around.

      @@dapje2002 I can understand that, but the problem is they're not trying to be professional writers. They're just relaying their story, their supposedly actual experience, to be narrated, so I don't think he should require them to phrase it differently, though if he asks / recommends people to try writing with more variation that's understandable, or even just asking them if he can edit some words around in their story so it never changes the context but just changes something like "the woods got quiet, and I felt tense," to "the silence of the woods was deafening and the tension I felt could rival that of the ropes on a bridge." It doesn't change anything actually in the story, still being authentic to the original, but with better language used. I don't think they'd mind if he did something like that, and it might take a little more time but he could even send them the edited version and see if it's fine with them. I think that would be a good solution

    I can understand that it's a little bit boring for you to read this in every camping / deep in the woods / cabin in the woods (...) story; but I think compared to the phrase "Let's not meet" does this phrase fulfill a purpose, because usually, when animals get quiet, there's something wrong, may it be a heavy weather change or something else. So I don't see too much cliche in that phrase (simply because usually it's true).

    I'm sick of everyone "pitching a tent" just kidding! But if you've ever experienced the woods going silent because a predator is near, you'd realize the phrase holds serious power and meaning. I get your point but it IS terrifying for a natural predator, let alone some weird cryptid or whatever. Just my 2 cents... Love the channel!

    Hey Darkness. I love your content and always look forward to the next time I'm blessed to hear your voice! 😊 After all this time listening to you I've never left a message. Just FYI, when us humans go into the great outdoors our instincts are key to survival. Whenever the critters go silent it means there's a threat or predator in the vasinity... If someone sends a story with that detail... It needs to be included... Or it won't be genuine. Hey! Thanks for the great work!!! Love everything you do!!! Much love from Salem Oregon!!!😊

    As someone who lived out in the woods most of his life, it’s normally noisy with the sound of life, beautiful and vibrant. Thissss is why most people try and make note of noise in their stories, because the lack of all sound where there had once been plenty, is a sign that something is off in the forest. It’s seems like a cliche, sure, but it’s really just how nature works. Silent woods are terrifying, especially if you’ve been out in nature before.

  • @Stewfysh

    It would seem that the eerie silence is poignant to the person's experience. It sets the scene that the person was incredibly uneasy with the change in environment.
    Kinda like the canary dying in the cage. One must become hyper-aware when in the wilderness. It is important for survival. To be unaware of ones surroundings is ignorance.
    Besides, it is the epitome of warnings that a cryptid or other dimensional creature is at hand.

Like my next decisions could determine my future and the realization hits very suddenly. You'll do anything in that moment to get away. Nothing else matters.

I've lived next to deer who would stomp, grunt n "hiss" if danger was near by. Owls foxes coyotes will all make noise no matter what either from fear or warning the threat to stay away... the only animal that WON'T make noise is bugs. That is a common movie cliche for the woods to go silent. Its meant to install fear. .....

No bears or large animals ever spotted or reported where I live. The place is apparently haunted and all the grown men have claimed that they felt a "hunter" watching them. I've taken short walks but I get uneasy and just go sit on my porch. I cover all the windows... My cats hate the windows at night and just hide.

    2. When the sounds of the everything seem to be louder than anything you've ever heard before;
    3. When there seems to be no insect or animal life around you at all and complete stillness is everywhere.
    I understand that hearing these situations by those never having been in a forest/woods situation where something just....isn't normal happens and it is dangerous....seems "cliche" but it is honestly what happens.

    dude, when you're camping in the woods out in the middle of nowhere, every footstep or whisper can be heard for 50 yards. it's impossible to move without making noise at night in the woods. anything outside your tent can hear every move you make.
