Some folks are feeling betrayed or calling me lazy. And hey, I'm not happy about settling with an AI clone of my voice for one of my shows. But hear me out: (1) The same amount of human narration from me will still be appearing on this channel (2) My new schedule has allowed me to start exercising again, and I was able to watch scary movies with my wife almost every evening this October (3) I don't feel insanely panicked and overworked anymore. So, I'm sorry for the AI voice for Alone in the Woods. But I am still working hard to bring you new content, and above all my family is most important. Thank you all for your understanding and support! Catch my human voice on Unexplained Encounters and Tales from the Break Room!
You can't please everybody all of the time. You're damned if you do, and damned if ya don't, so just do what's right for you and everything else will fall into place. Peace be with you, and much love from Chicago.
It’s not even that noticeable if I hadn’t read that you were using ai I may have thought there was something off about it but not enough to distract me from the story and listen life is for living you do what makes you happy because you’ll never be able to please everyone enjoy your extra time with your wife and relaxing and enjoying life without so much pressure and if anyone doesn’t like it they can listen to the other story’s that aren’t ai 😌
I don’t mind. Your time is greatly appreciated. I am happy to have something good to listen to. I am going to ask my younger sister to order me a copy of phantom phenomenon for Christmas. I don’t use computers much and only do cash. I am just happy to be able to listen on You tube for free. You have a permanent subscriber ❤
The anti ani mob needs to stop. You can barely tell the difference. I'm glad you found the right balance that works out for you. Look forward to more stories.
Please, DP, be easier on yourself. I feel like you have a "people pleaser" personality. You don't have to apologize for anything, yet you apologize for everything.
I absolutely LOVE your buttery smooth voice dude!! Out of all the other narrators, I find your voice the most perfect for scary stories 😊 Keep it coming!! And know you've got a fan in the middle of nowhere kansas lol
Hope everyone has a safe & fun Halloween!!!! Perfect timing Darkness, I’m putting in some overtime & I can’t think of a better way to pass the time than working & listening to your stories!!!👻👻🎃🎃
@johnoneill7947 Definitely Easier work. Reading all of these stories outloud is rough work. We don't give them enough credit. Also, maybe their voice isn't appealing. You can be 11 yrs old and upload using A.I. and nobody will EEEEVER know, you know?
Happy Halloween Mr Darkness Prevails. Thank you for all the great store's and helping me sleep the past 8 year's. Hope you and the family are well, stay blessed
Something heavy came down the hill and made a guttural grunt. Not a cougar, bear, or deer. Look up feral pig sounds. They live in more places than you think and they are dangerous.
@janet6421 We don't have feral pigs in western mass. Plus like I mentioned in the story, where the sounds stopped was clear enough I should have seen something this big moving. But it was like whatever was coming down the hill was not visible
Wow, this video was spine-chilling! 😱 The true stories you shared about the eerie happenings in Christchurch kept me on the edge of my seat. It's fascinating (and a bit terrifying) to think about what might be lurking in the shadows! Your storytelling really brings these outdoor tales to life. Can’t wait for more creepy content like this! Keep up the great work!
It was truly an incredibly unsettling experience. I didn't mention it in my story, but I am a very experienced outdoors guy. I never experienced any like this ever.
Hey Dark, appreciate all ya do. My kiddos and I had a wonderful night. My back wasn't hurting and I was able to take them for a long loop. My oldest was Darth Vader, second was Spiderman and youngest stayed home with his dad because it was a little to cold for him. I semi cosplayed my character from Final Fantasy XIV in her reaper class. It was fun.
To the person from the story about hearing, but not seeing something in the spring foliage, sounds like a Big Foot. The grunts, knocking sounds you mentioned. They are suspected of being able to become invisible. That is why they're so elusive and tracks have been found that seem to stop as if they disappeared.
Hey bro your voice clone do not have the same aesthetics as when you do the video it just uses normal voice for creepy monster voices black how you do it with the voice distortion
Hope you had a great Halloween. Thanks for the entertainment, wish I could have listened to it Halloween night but we are always super busy with our haunted maze we do and with it being our anniversary… well enough said. LOL
I had suspected the use of AI for some time when the guest narrators didn't work out as well. The bots still can't fool me! Mwahahahaha!! Happy Halloween!
The second to last story reminds me of a movie from the 80's called Razorback. It's an Australian production. It's got crazy Mad Max meets Texas Chainsaw Massacre vibes
Your voice tone is right for listening to while background noise can "out loud" the softer toned voice narrators. I have ADHD & need podcasts playing as I work along/drive.
Glad you don’t feel overworked anymore. I read your reasoning, I did give it a chance, but the no breathing, extremely harsh “s” , and annunciation in the wrong places, are just too much.
Please dont use the AI voice for youtube stories....we love ur original voice....been a fan since years....love ur voice none of the narrators have a voice like you...❤❤❤😊
It’s not the same. But I understand you cannot read all the stories for every channel. I too have a family and they deserve the majority of your energy. So if this is the only way we can get extra stories, I’ll take it. It’s not the same, but it’s still good enough. Much love, from OKLAHOMA. BOOMER SOONER!!! ☝️💪🏻🤙🏻
Is anyone else hearing this weird white noise sound in the background or is it just me?? Is it supposed to be part of the video? Cuz it's driving me nuts
Being honest everyone can tell the difference in the AI voice. Most people are just nice enough to not complain about it. But to be honest I will always prefer you to narrate it.
The story about the supernatural tree with the portal must've taken place in Indonesia, or somewhere else in the Islamic bits of southeast Asia. Brunei perhaps? If you've never had a chance to listen to traditional Indonesian gamelan music, it's amazingly beautiful. It's called gamelan because "gamel" means "hammer", which is the implement used to strike the instruments.
"Can't tell the difference". You can absolutely tell the difference. I avoid watching your AI-voiced videos because they sound very uncanny valley and I can't stand listening to it. It's super off-putting, and I can't go more than a few minutes without needing to click off--- it's super wrong sounding, the inflections are awful and it's hard not to focus on them and the uncanniness instead of on the stories being "read" by the AI. It makes the whole thing unenjoyable to me.

It doesn't really bother me that much to be honest...
You have to put yourself and your family first.

Happy Halloween 👻🎃
Please, DP, be easier on yourself. I feel like you have a "people pleaser" personality. You don't have to apologize for anything, yet you apologize for everything.
Thanks for the Halloween Treat
@@DarknessPrevails , it is okay I am late watching this video!
Thanks buddy
The 100% surefire way to know if somebody is making up a story about a wendigo is if they say "deer like appearance".
I love your channel. been listening to your stories for years
I absolutely LOVE your buttery smooth voice dude!! Out of all the other narrators, I find your voice the most perfect for scary stories 😊 Keep it coming!! And know you've got a fan in the middle of nowhere kansas lol
Fan from middle of nowhere Kansas here too!! 😊
Happy Halloween & Blessed Samhain to you & yours! 🎃🎃🎃🎃
This really is a treat, love your videos. 😊
Good night everyone
I like when the videos has the monster speaking and the voice distortion that you use
Hope everyone has a safe & fun Halloween!!!! Perfect timing Darkness, I’m putting in some overtime & I can’t think of a better way to pass the time than working & listening to your stories!!!👻👻🎃🎃
Thanks for the great stories DP ❤
Happy Halloween to you and your family!
A 2 hour Halloween Special with all new stories?! Darkness, you just made my Halloween my friend! 🎃👻
The ai voice will just never be as good as you
Yeah…totally weird inflections.
I tell all the real people this 💯
The AI voice can’t compare to your unique storytelling!
Why do they do Ai voices? Easier work? I just can't tolerate them. They are toxic to the soul

Can’t wait! Thanks for the Halloween upload 🖤
YO DARKNESS THANKS FOR READING MY STORY! 13:50 it's called I couldn't see it
Mountain park has some weird vibes, even during the day.
@valerie9957 chicks named Valerie have weird vibes too.
@valerie9957 Well I mean there was the b-52 crash up there. That might do it
Happy Halloween Darkness and everyone else. Stay safe from the ghost. ❤❤❤
Happy Halloween 🎃 ❤
Next to the 3 stooges halloween marathon this rocks thanks happy spooky to you and all
I saw the title and thought what!?! Christchurch as in... NZ... where I live!? Cool seeing other commenters from chch too 😎
@@sneebee So just another day in Otautahi?
@@karlknight9212 There's no such place as "Otautahi".
I had my comment deleted. the story is set in Mt Cook National Park which is about 4 hours away from Christchurch!
Love... Thank You!!

Was looking for something while I clean my home. 😂
Are there any more writers with (true) paranormal, werewolves and found footage stories
I love these!!!!🤩😎
Love you Darkness

Omg watching from Christchurch NZ I don't believe it my home is never featured online I can't wait thanks so much 😮😊
I'm in Christchurch and I've submitted a story before...albeit set near Mt Cook
And here I'm thinking our country is safe!😱😱
@@Riverwillow24ever heard of the goat man
Hi ... watching from Christchurch UK... 🇬🇧
@@corywest212 yes thats true.
🎃 Happy 🎃 Halloween 🎃
Fell asleep half way through last night so l get to watch your stories again tonight! Yaay! 😊
3 dudes on a 10 foot boat okay....
You see a swimming deer get swallowed and you go back to camp like a bass ate a duckling......
I love Base fishing!
Hope you had a great Halloween. Thanks for the entertainment, wish I could have listened to it Halloween night but we are always super busy with our haunted maze we do and with it being our anniversary… well enough said. LOL
Whatever you need to do. Ty anyway.. I enjoy listening to you..or AI u.. do do dooooooo
Hello guys I have a new black kitten and his name is Rocco.
Hes not scary hes the cutest.
Thanks for the Halloween video,
Did you find the kitten ?
@ yes we had a friend give him to us she found him
I had suspected the use of AI for some time when the guest narrators didn't work out as well. The bots still can't fool me! Mwahahahaha!! Happy Halloween!
I hear the white noise 🤔
It could be rain ☔️
Happy Halloween 🎃 daddy darkness! Been here for many years and looking forward to many more! 🕷️
The second to last story reminds me of a movie from the 80's called Razorback. It's an Australian production. It's got crazy Mad Max meets Texas Chainsaw Massacre vibes
Listening to this story alone at night is a real challenge! Has anyone dared to try?
I too prefer your voice over AI.
Deer arent always light on their feet. A 200 plus pound buck can sound like an elephant especially during the rut.
Is it possible to get timestamps for the stories?
I have lived in christchruch nz and i never knew about the monster
Same,it’s new to me to

Thank you very much darkness happy Halloween and happy Nevada day❤❤❤❤❤
This story was a hair-raiser, speaking of which, I'm releasing a scary Halloween story on my channel this week
I live in Christchurch, this title is way too specific for someone who loves walking around at night 🙃
Same here
Why would it scare you? You know for sure it's made up.
I'm from Wellington
The story is about Mount Cook not Christchurch and its creepypasta: Fiction.
Please dont use the AI voice for youtube stories....we love ur original voice....been a fan since years....love ur voice none of the narrators have a voice like you...❤❤❤😊
Scaryyy
I like hamburger helper.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN DARKNESS!
WOW!
A TWO HOUR VIDEO?
You must really love us!😊
It’s not the same. But I understand you cannot read all the stories for every channel. I too have a family and they deserve the majority of your energy. So if this is the only way we can get extra stories, I’ll take it. It’s not the same, but it’s still good enough.
Much love, from OKLAHOMA. BOOMER SOONER!!! ☝️💪🏻🤙🏻
Good stories until that stupid wendigo one. Had to skip it
Yep. I remember that one. It's even worse since they described it as a "deer like creature."
Pls come to Deezer with your podcast
YOU DONT WANNA KNOW HOW HARD I SQUEELED WHEN I HEARD 'NEW ZEALAND' !!!
THANK YOU SM!!
App ah latch un not lay shun ❤❤❤ love the stories
Wendigo don't have antlers!!!!!!
I don't know if I can watch for 2 hours straight. but I will give it 20 minutes each day to finish
Is anyone else hearing this weird white noise sound in the background or is it just me?? Is it supposed to be part of the video? Cuz it's driving me nuts
@@Destinysproblemchild I think it's supposed to be rain?
👍 👍 DP

Appalachian is pronounced appel-ah-chin. Not appel-ā-shun. Love the stories ❤
Wasn’t this episode just his AI voice ?
🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

I refuse to listen to AI never dose abbreviations right some times they read 10-31-2024 as 10 dash 31 dash 2 0 2 4 just saying
