I tried listening to the Calm app with soothing sounds and bedtime stories and just couldn't do it. Falling asleep to horror stories and true crime it is! 😄
I tried it too. I agree.
⁰
always the thing I listen to before and while I sleep
I sweaaaar it’s like the most calming thing ever.. so weird!
It’s the asmr for sleep 😌
I love the creature in the story at 53:53 he just wants to play red light green light like I did in grade school lol cute 🥰
Hey darkness, I just wanna say thank you I started listening to your narrations a long time ago at the begging of my freshman year so your first year on youtube, I'm now a senior in high school with a few months away from graduation and i can genuinely say thank you for making my childhood awesome with the stories and everything. your videos have helped me soo much since the beginning and they often played at 3 am whiling rushing to do assignments late at night, or isf i was down they would cheer me up. thank you darkness
CONGRATS ON GRADUATING 🎓
Congrats on graduating
Who cares
Same with me! :) I graduated in may and I’ve listened to him and corpse husband for forever!!
@@thenobullshtchannel8768 lots of people. Y’know like the ones that like to hear about other people doing well in life and aren’t complete bellends like yourself.
3 hours of no adds and great stories, my day just got a lot better thank you sir for the breath of fresh air with these great narratives.
O
No ads huh? Barely 40 mins in and already with 5 ads of liposuction, diet, and insurance.
You all know that all you have to do is fast forward by moving red line on bottom if video all the way to end, then hit replay, dont you???
Just make sure replay is off!!
⁹⁹ it ⁸9p
Greatstuff.
Oh my gosh! I am listening to this with one headphone so I can still hear my kids and my son randomly growled really deep ( I didn't realize he had walked back into the living room) and I almost peed on myself! He scared me so bad!
omg
Omg😂...😂...😂
Brilliant x
Hahaha 😂
L😁L
🇦🇺👍🏻🇦🇺
Time stamp 45- if that “thing” appeared every night and is starting to revisit him again then why not take a picture or video with your phone being that it’s visit are starting up again. Right I’m sure everyone would love to see it
Cuz some pol r just good story tellings. They are ignorant knowing thst this is SUPPOSED to be true stories only
Cuz its fake
More like install storm shudders
That thing sounded like an SCP-173 enthusiast🤓🤓😆
Maybe it happened before the days of modern phones.
hill 29 is hands down my favorite scary story. i remember when i first listened to it, it was a cold night and i couldn't fall asleep so i just lie still for the whole video. i was totally immersed in the story and for some reason it just stood out to me. im glad that you also thought it was a notable story. also, love from canada!
I’m laying here also, can’t sleep now!! Looks like I lost this night as it’s daylight savings time night!! Aghh!!!☠️☠️💪💪🦇🦇🕷🕷🐺🐺
Love from the U.S., back at you, Canada...
That's funny because I thought it was by far the least scary and most boring story on this list.
I love a good movie or story that captures your complete attention, just sitting, not moving, not eating or drinking anything, just completely zoned out until you feel like you have become part of the story, then you snap out of it realizing a couple hours have passed
@@terry85mar way to admit to having poor taste lol.
Nah each to their own etc.
I work in the convenient store and your stories keep me company at night.😊Thank you.
I really don't know how brave I think I am to be camping in pitch darkness....listening to this. Only one awake and I need to tinkle. I've scared myself with this. I tinkle in the morning.
What I do that helps is never go camping
Lol not gonna lie I’ve totally peed only one foot away from my tent
@@gamerglam I held it til morning lmao
@@gamerglam lol stupid girl logic...like tent will protect you from something ...
@@Mitar446 damn killer
I can’t remember the name of one of my favorites, but it was one you read 2+(?) years ago. It was a forest ranger story about them attempting to rescue a young dog from these weird cultish children
I remember that one! I want to say it was a Watchtower story.
oh god is that the one where the dog gets got in the end? that one made me sad lol
⁰
@@hckr_-gh7se I opened the reply’s to see if anyone mentioned the name of it so I could go listen to it. But not anymore seeing as I know how it ends now. Thx.
@@hckr_-gh7se oh thanks a lot I haven’t heard it yet and now no point
I've been listening to videos like this for so long trying to find a story about that type of monster in the woods. I'm from Arkansas and when I was 8 years old me and my cousin walked up on an abandoned house in the woods and the exact creature he described in the first story was hanging out of the window. It looked surprised kind of caught off guard it just hung there in the window slowly showing its teeth. I'm literally tearing up rn. the most horrifying looking thing I've ever seen in my entire life! it's been 20 years now and I've never told anybody. This really gives me the creeps because I still live on the same land that we seen it on.
What did it look like again? Was it exactly the same as the first story's description or is there anything else you can say about it?
Weren't doing any drugs were ya lol.
@@xsixinfantryx lmao i wish. I was only 8 I didn't even know what getting high was 🤣
That sounds traumatizing for such a young kid to see something so horrible like that. It would ruin the woods for me to see something like that. Glad you guys were ok.
@@cotyskinner5883 stop lying
The stories that stood out to me the most was the one called “the whimpering thing”, which I think was read sometime in 2019? Then there was one about this incessant but faint howling that a person kept hearing on their property and one morning they saw a messed up looking deer in their driveway and the noise was coming from that. Third, there was a story going around that have been narrated by a number of horror narrators and it was about this canine like creature on a family farm that Three different generations had to deal with.
I remember the 3rd one too but dont know title, Indian Joe was the name of family friend...one of my favorites too.
And then there was the story about the lantern on the hill every night after midnight.
@@phishstx8328 I remember the lantern story my favourite I think would have to be Shirley wisconsin
Was that family farm one where the dad started getting so frustrated because that thing was killing livestock, eventually putting their farm out of business, and losing their house? The dad keep trying to trap or kill thing but it was too smart.
@@metafru that’s so crazy I just listened to that one while sleeping last night (only got about 10 minutes in before falling asleep)
The animal rescue story was pretty great also .
Out of all the scary storytellers in UA-cam, you have got to be my favorite. You're the only one who doesn't break sentences up into 3 words at a time, emphasize the wrong parts of sentences or otherwise read at a seventh-grade level. No offense to the other channels, but I would subscribe to them as well if I could get through a story without being enraged by poor reading skills ..
You should check out Mr nightmare and lazy masquerade... They're really good as well.
Not to mention when they get guest narrators with robotic or weird voices ! Ugh!!
@@suejames735 sometimes they're just too quiet or they feel disconnected from the story. It's hard to feel scared when somebody just mails it in.
mr ballen memorizes the stories and very descriptive he dont read them by far my fav he also does missing kids stories
Let’s Read, Mr. Nightmare, Corpse Husband, and Lazy Masquerade are all fantastic too
Congratulations Flaska, you've found a weeping angel.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Doctor who reference?
@@shaggysidbacon6144 pure genius one at that.
@@shaggysidbacon6144 yes
I am such a big fan and i enjoy your channel so much thanks for the awesome stories
I love stories from Arkansas. I live here, grew up here and I hunt in the woods of Northwest Arkansas. Yes, there are things out there. My father in law was a Game warden for almost 40 years. I asked him once about bigfoot sightings. He didn't look at me when he answered. he said he hadn't seen any but knew others had. That's all he wanted to say on the matter.
As a game warden out in the woods for 40 years he must have seen a lot.
@@dietlindvonhohenwald448 he hinted he and others have but wouldn't go into details. One of those, you don't always report everything.
This was an insanely incredible comp, pleeease do this again! These stories were fascinating and all resonated as truth with their profound detail. I am one hundred percent enthralled by monsters/creatures/cryptids, etc, in the forests. What is further interesting are not only the possibilities of creatures in the forests but derranged people. Again, these stories were great and this is easily my new fave video, thanks so much.
@@briancrouse9996 creepier than these stories.
@@Odd_Combo you must be really bored huh?
@@briancrouse9996 No. Just on the creep patrol. You actually deleted your comment so it seems to have had an effect...
Lol
,
Love this video! I always wonder what stories you guys (horror narrators) think are the scariest! Can’t wait for this one! Perfect timing also now I have something new to listen to while I clean!
Ok so Hill 29 is a really well written story. There’s no way that wasn’t written by either an exceptional writer or a professional one. He describes his surroundings far too well for it not to have been written for entertainment.I would have liked to know if they found their friends and what they saw.
Ikr. I loved it
It's almost like they'd actually experience it. It just felt so real
@@hiddenrunner9259 Yes but it reads like a fictional story. If you’ve ever read Reddit posts, you’ll know a great many of them are written by almost illiterate people. This one was a great read!
Yeah kinda too detailed for someone who experienced it. But it would make a good movie
@@ale189251 Yup, I agree. But it’s great fiction, lol.
Thank you for posting this, I have had a horrible day, and this is helping make it better.
And me,I'm more stressed than I've ever been,can't sleep,hoping this helps
Omg... ME TOO!
Today has been BY FAR one of the top 3 WORST DAYS of my life!!!
I've been looking for something, anything to hold my attention and distract me from my stressors.
Hope it helps. I really, really do.
i really love fave compilations like this, they're always so good
Always had a favorite list too. Got my wife and kids into these stories especially during road trips, it’s a nice time killer.
U can kill my time daddy
Regardless of whether or not it's true, I think the Leer is probably my favorite story from this compilation
It's an interesting thing, a creature that moves only when you don't look at it
Wait, I've never heard of that! Came to the comment section out of curiosity for that specific story, so glad you commented! What would the guy even do? You have to sleep eventually!
its like that one dr who ep with weeping angels
My fav. Also!
@@sofijastojkov5499 oh my god I love Dr. Who! The weeping Angels scared me the first couple times I watched Dr. Who lol
Man…whether the Hill 29 story is true or not, that’s one hell of a story.
For real
Hey. I really enjoy you. I listen to you often....before bed and when I wake...🙂...take care of yourself. Keep up the good work!
Love your stories! Thanks Darkness!
Thank-you for posting this! Great stories! I hope your wife had a lovely birthday and you both enjoyed your day. ;)
I absolutely love listening to your videos/podcasts!
Omg I'm so excited!!! I needed these buddy you have no idea!!! You're a beast truly thank you💯🤯🥰🙃
What a lovely thing to wake up to. Thanks Darkness!
I love you so much, this one outta be awesome, since you’ve read tons of stories throughout time! Keep going, man, greetings from Brazil! Your voice is very soothing and it helps me deal with my anxiety ❤️🙏
Hope your anxiety is better Ana. Lots of Brazilian people in Ireland, especially Dublin. Absolutely amazing, warm, fun and wonderful people. Brazil is a special place. All the best from 🇮🇪 👍 ♥ 🇧🇷
@@mccarthy5825 thank you so much for your kind words, I am indeed a Lot better ❤️😍 God bless your heart 😊🙏
Does anyone remember a story about a canadian search and rescue dude looking for a missing person?
He finds a cave with a flintlock pistol in it alongside newer evidence of people and goes inside. He ends up face to face with a pale humanoid and shoots it with his flaregun. The creature catches the sizzling flare in it's fingers and looks at it curiously, giving our guy time to escape. The narrator decides that it was probably a "vampire" that had stalked the region since before the first white settlers.
Does this ring any bells? It was the scariest! It gave me nightmares. 😱
Can't beat this channel and your voice is so calming. Love the stories, get to sleep easy... Thanks for the channel ❤️❤️
Love listening to you, great storyteller. I leave you on as l fall asleep at night as you have such a great voice, calming. Thx for all you do.
I love your videos!! I fall asleep to them EVERY night! That first story was scarier then hell! My worst fear. Sounds like a rake?
Darkness my friend, I don't know how you come up with these video ideas, but they're awesome haha!
They are viewer submitted stories dude.
Hehe cool 😁😁
There are things in the dark we should be afraid of
I am born and raised in Louisiana and can tell y’all some crazy insane stories from Katrina and being in the Ruston woods!!!!
I'm listening! :)
Me too! I spent 6 months in New Orleans after Katrina doing cleanup and saw some strange things but nothing really unexplainable.
Ruston woods ? I’m from Farmerville and it’s like a 30 minute drive
What did you experience in the woods near Ruston and where? Dubach area or Jonesboro??
I'm really close to this area and I saw something on Corney Lake this year I quit fishing and hunting now!!!
Enjoyed the stories AND the cat images in the clouds!!! Keep sending us MORE Scary Stories!!!♥️💜💙
I think the scariest part of this entire video is that if the first guy hadn't gone to surprise his friend, he very likely would have next seen him at his funeral.
Literally been listening to your channel alll day, so chilled ✌🏼
Listening to this at 1 am and after the redlight greenlight creature story, something hits my window. That's enought for me for one night lmao
Lol
I hate it when that happen
@Tristan Wright Yeah, I was getting some tea, when the guy mentioned getting hot tea.
🤣
@@lordkitchener967 😂
Perfect idea for an interesting video!! Thank you 😊
Hello Darkness my old friend, I've heard this joke time and time again
Cool ‼
Still gives me chuckles..lol
And The Sound of Silence......... from no-one laughing at the joke. Just messing Anthony, I started singing the song and like a puzzle it fit!✌
One time a friend of mine came out to our place to camp out with her niece and nephew. She wanted us to scare them. I made up a story about 'The woman of the woods' about a ghost you could see walking through the woods. My daughter went back to the house and got a sheet then started walking through the trees close to the camp. We were standing around the fire, and the boy looked back and saw my daughter, and he literally stepped THROUGH the fire. He came through so fast, it didn't hurt him. Didn't mean to scare him that bad.lol
We did that on haloween -the guy we pranked was mad as heck. He knew it wasn't a ghost, but he thought some maniac had come for him 🤣
I use to listen to calming music , meditation and calming stories and that was ok to help relax due to my severe insomnia until I came across this! But then by chance I came across true scary stories and I've never looked back. I get more tired and realise I've actually finally slept.
Thank you so much for your help.💯😊
Cheers Dark ♡ omg a few of these actually scared me a bit! Usually I'm fine XD
Most soothing voice awesome stories and content! Ty!!! Keep em coming! 🇺🇸💙
I wish all the stories were this good so suspenseful so impressed, Hope you have more
Hi!I stumbled upon your video by chance,and gotta say, I love it.Ypu have a great reading voice.Subscribed.
Im hook love theres no interruptions . Great storytelling or reading. U rock
I’m excited for this one!
Great video ! Love this compilation of favorite videos
Woohoo!!! Bed ridden and needed this! Thanks darkness
Hope you feel better soon!
Did you break a bone, or bones?
@@TooTired4 Nooo I think I'm starting to get vertigo sadly.
@@christineparis5607 thank you!🖤
@@hellyvillarreal8813
Are you getting vertigo from an inner ear problem? My best friend had that and got it under control. It was very bad, but the doctor was able to get her in a better state so that it is not an issue now. I think it's called meniers disease? Anyway, don't give up, there ARE Treatments ! It is awful. But, can be kept under control. I don't know if that's what you have, but I want you to have a positive outcome, which is definitely possible!!
These stories are incredible thanks for sharing.
GREAT Stories!! Thanks so much! ;)
The man-eating creature probably went back to the Upside Down. No worries. 🤔
The men in animals skins in the first were probably Native America ghosts!
I love this video. Long, endless scary stories!
Honestly I believe they were indeed humans santanist burying a body 😳😳 he never went to the police soo that's probably why they never found anything
@@heatherleonard6841 the story ends with him going to the police...
Was wondering if anyone else got strong Demogoron vibes from the first story.
I think I heard about this story somewhere. Awesome job!
Perfect timing my man. Just got to my next job. This will make the rest of the work day fly! Thanks 😊
How are you not at a million yet?? I've been here for a very long time listening and watching and I can't believe people aren't subbing left and right. Excellent job on the video and these stories captivated me. I didnt remember these until you told them again and I'm glad you did!
Hey darkness i love your vids and this is good so far
I don't know how I am just now finding your channel:( so glad I did though!! Love your narrations!!!
I just wanna say that these stories help me wine down as I have an extremely stressful life. I like walking my dogs through the forest every night and listen to these stories or when I’m driving a long distance or when I’m just trying to relax at home so I wanna say thank u. I particularly look for forest, camping, small town or cabin stories mainly these are my favorites
One of these stories could be about you....are you the victim or predator, allegedly...you know. 😉
Awesome, thank you Darkness.
I came across you the other night, and so glad I did;) Just luv it so much it took me over 10 times to send this.. lol Keep writing! Luv u😴
A narrator's pick type of video? This gon' be good.
It's like I can't go to bed without these stories
I'm the same way! It's reminiscent of when parents used to tell bedtime stories! Darkness is one of my favorite. I also like Let's Read, Raven Reads, what lurks beneath, swamp dweller, lazy masquerade,...and if you are interested in real, documented, encounters Beyond Creepy is my absolute favorite.
This was my first experience with the channel, and I sincerely enjoyed every minute. Many thanks!
Thank you for the warning before the one story about there being descriptions of dead animals. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness in forewarning people (like me) who don't find that kind of thing entertaining and prefer to avoid it.
🙂
I'ts a skinwalker my friends
True dat
@Tim J excuse me I have seen a skinwalker before up in I knew their real I took a picture on my old phone before getting a new one
@@queenzaliraofthethunderpri2162 I’ve seen a Dinosaur while going hiking I took a picture of it with my phone but sadly I bought a newer phone so the picture is gone.
@@doyoubelievein20yearsago11 I have seen a dinosaur footprints before but this dinosaurs has a tail and all of us hear a low roar got everyone by surprised We looked at the water I'm not joking I saw Godzilla rising up from the waters
Thanks for helping me through 2021! God bless your voice
Dark your voice is like calming to me
LOVE YOUR SCARY STORIES
Great vid👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you for these. I suffer from insomnia and somehow this helps me fall asleep. I appreciate it very much.
50:00 for the entity that moves when you don't look at it. Would it be a good strategy just to alternate winking with one eye so you always have on eye on it
Same , sitting here winking one eye at a time ha ha I win demon 😈
I think Hill 29 is one of my all time favorites. It has always stuck with me ever since the first time I heard it.
Musst look for it 😁👍‼
Ach you mean ok i understood something wrong sorry
Silly me the story was present
But i'll heard much more better stories from Darkness ok my taste is apparently different 😁✌
I am not complaining, in fact I'm always happy ,when I see your videos every single day! Do you ever take a break? Well, I want you to know that I greatly appreciate your hard work! Loving your channel.!
3 hours with no ads ❤️, this is why I love you 🥺
Excellent stories! They help pass the night when i am in pain and can't sleep!
Me too!!
Thank you for these stories
I bounce around between all these immensely talented narrators often- I don’t have a favorite per se, more like I’ll settle on whichever suits my mood at the time
Love your stories and thank you for your hard work on
Good evening, I cant wait to listen to you favourite stories. Thank you darkness
Just in time before my sleep...from Malaysia ♥️
Excellent stories ands narrarion. I really enjoyed listening. No adds either, that was a bonus.
Good video great job I like the longer type stories for car rides and haven't found too many people that do so and I'm definitely going to keep listening to ur channel first time I listened was today and had to comment thanks Alot
You help me sleep every night, and this video is just perfect ☠
30:00 “They dont even have visitors” lmao calling me out
Please Read the Bok of Mormon.
@@johnoneill7947 please keep your religion to yourself
You have superb taste my friend. Excellent stories all.
Thank you Darkness Prevail stories
What kind of joker names their kid Tommy's Dad?
No doubt! I mean, Billys' Dad, Raymonds' Dad , or even Beauregards' Uncle are all acceptable......but Tommys' Dad ???? Might as well send him to school wearing a t-shirt that reads "Tease Me."
A guy that wants to be the grandfather to a kid named Tommy.
@@scottricklaroque7428 no his parent is named tommy and he wanted his kid to be his boss so he named him Tommy’s dad, or his little brother is Tommy and his parents were tired of taking care of him lol
Bahahaha I thought it was just me that heard that 😂
@@Soon2bTLC It really did sound as if it was the kids' name until my brain kicked in and corrected things.
Actually, pennies in 1943 were made out of steel as copper was needed for the war effort. I used to have a full set of those shiny steel cents as well.
Almost 3 hours of DT on a Saturday. Yes please!
Listening to this on my birthday... its so nice :)
Always interesting to hear the ones that scare the people who narrate the stories that scare us as the audience!! Thanks for sharing! Hope you and yours are keeping safe and well, my friend. Have a wonderful weekend! 💜
i really love your narration of the last story
These were SO good!
Brilliant video darkness
I literally woke up to this playing and I was Scared, I can vouch These are Scary Stories
Awesome stories Darkness, honestly you're one of the best narrator's period. Love from the UK brother 💯❤️🇬🇧💤🎧🙏🤲👻😱🧛♂️😎
These are interesting!! Born an raised in Tennessee, I don’t mess round in the trees. Nope. I know theirs some stuff in there you don’t wanna mess round with.
Got yourself another sub great job on narrative
