Waking up to this was a treat, and you did such an amazing job with it! I have to say, this is exactly what I imagined Aiden to sound like, and it's absolutely insane how much emotion you manage to portray. Also, the comment section blew me away. Everyone is so nice and supportive, I know it will sound sappy but it feels more like a family than a community. Thank you for reaching out to me, for bringing the story to life like this, and here's hope we'll work together again in the future :D
GREAT STORY! It actually inspired me to finally try to ✍ one....it's so cool to think that your imagination has influenced so many ppl's lives, if only in a small way. You are an incredibly talented author. With an imagination like that, I guess that going camping is out of the question 🏕? 😅😉
@@jackiec498 By all means, go ahead and give it a shot! You'll be surprised by what you can come up with, and you'll never know until you try. I, for example, never tried writing horror before this year 😅 And yeah, that's by far the coolest bit about writing, knowing that I got my thoughts out there and into other people's heads. Also no, I'm not afraid of camping, I actually like it a lot. Telling spooky stories around a campfire is amazing 😂
Yes! I was glad I waited until today to listen to this one, as I fell asleep pretty quickly last night and would’ve had to try to recall where I left off. 🙂
@@jodilea144 .. damn!!!... it took me 2 1/2 days to FINISH this story... because my stupidity... tryed to listen to it as a bed time story... I got SOOOO MAD AT MY SELF!!! FOR FALLING A SLEEP 2 nights in a row on it!... so I woke up at 4am, and Happily listened to it ALL!!! .... AND LIFE IS GOOD... And I'm am forgiven... lmao!!!!😁😁😁🤲💕💕💕💕🙋🏼♀️
The bookmark thing is a really good idea! For me though when I have to stop listening and don’t remember what spot I was at I’ll just go over to the bottom of the screen where it says library and then where it says recent and then find the video and it’ll pick up at the same spot it was at. Or there’s always the history option in the library too for if you’ve watched numerous videos since. This is on the app on my phone though so idk if it’s any diff on a computer or something.
As a native I was worried about listening to this, at this time in January but I figured through headphones I should be safe lol but yes heard that as well, also not to say the name with snow on the ground ,hence the headphones lol
Eerily similar to Skinwalkers which also shouldn't be spoken about allowed in places unless to attract them, but i didnt know that the same was true of wendigos.
@@ZacAttackManiac The talk I've heard about them implies it might be worse with them, but I'm an outsider listening about a culture I'm not apart of so don't take that as gospel.
I am a native from a reservation in Canada. I promise u wendigo spirit are not brought forth this way. It involves cannibalism but with a preist or shaman. Wendigo are actually extremely rare, and I mean emphasis on the extreme. Certain areas that have cursed can also hold the capability to bring forth a wendigo but still needs to involve cannabilism. There is a little more to it then this but this is the main legend we are told from our elders.
A Chilling tale for sure, The Wendigo taking a back seat in the flashback and letting its victims take each other out was definitely an interesting way to show its power over humanity. But it's actual fight was pretty cool too, though it did give me a laugh when it bit down on the protagonist's prosthetic leg and got so confused, for a chilling moment it sure broke the ice with that lil humor
@@pmm501106 hey uh, my friend who was watching the story with me has one and he had a good laugh. Just remember comedy is subjective and not everyone is gonna find what you do funny 😊
This was so incredibly written that i sat frozen, listening to it all in one go, staring at nothing. Just wow. Bravo to the author and to the narrator. This made my week, so thank you both!
Bro I was trying to go to sleep with a long story since it was 3h and 45 min… well it’s freaking 4:30 am by the time I’m done with it 😭😭😭 now I need to go to sleep and try to wake up at 9 💀
This is by far my favorite depiction of Wendigo in fiction. I'm glad Aiden poured himself into this like a man possessed, it makes the trauma he felt seem so much richer. Then to fight the wendigo with such a carefully planned strategy is just so good to hear. No horror protagonists making obvious mistakes, no underestimating the task before them. And in the end, he gets to earn his happy ending. Really fantastic story, and very good delivery.
The way your voice changed from the panicked story telling from the protagonist as he retold what happened to his friends, to being calm in the moment knowing that he is fulfilling his destiny was such a powerful moment. It caught me off of my feet. You are by far my favorite narrator.
Holy CRAP, this was better than I expected it to be, and my expectations were already high to begin with. I'm starting to think these longer stories might just be better than the shorter ones, since they take more time to flesh the characters and horror out more and just go in depth with everything. This was just so amazing. And considering body horror, including graphic moments of cannibalism are among the things that terrify me the most, I was actually cringing hard during Jennifer's consumption and the threat of the beast itself and its possessed victims doing the same to Aiden. And the way it starts off slowly and unassuming before building into the main event was well done. Gah, imagining the extreme conditions everyone was in, that stuff was making *me* feel exhausted and in pain too. Just simply bravo to you and the author!
Although I realized I'd heard this story before almost immediately, I was quite eager to hear your rendition of this magnificent story by ThatExoGuy. Needless to say I was not disappointed! Your marvelous narration had me captivated from start to finish as if hearing anew. Extremely well done and well written. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you both very much!
This story was a sad 😔, 😨 scary, action-packed, romantic, and climatic. I think the writer did an amazing job and I am glad that the underdog was giving his reward. I wish for more stories like this and this length. I'd like to again congratulate LH for an amazing narration.
See ? Your wish for a " long one " was granted.... 🙃 And as I said I have a list in my playlists with the long stories only , I put in as many I could find and remember so you could look it up. I'm sorry, I won't adress you again, I just love to see the channel grow.
I can only imagine the shaman’s reaction to having an actual windigo’s heart being delivered to them with the conversation going something like this. Protag: “Hey shaman I have a windigo heart for you”. Shaman: “You actually managed to kill the beast?! How many did you loose taking the beast out?” Protag: “Uh…… nobody, kinda did this on my own with help from a third party at the end.” Shaman: “Your telling me that you took this beast on by yourself initially and managed to kill it with only the intervention of one other person?!” Protag: “Yeah pretty much.” Shaman: ~Speechless~
Edge of my seat for the last 2hours! Man, my butt hurts, lol ! Awesome story, fantastic narration and I just can't get enough! Thank you so much and have a great night!
This is an amazing story. I remember reading it on Reddit not quite a year ago. I am very very happy you are reading it for us. And folks if you haven't heard this story or read it you are in for a treat!
My favorite stories, my favorite narrator. This story caught me by surprise and I love that. I listen to these long ones over and over. Like a favorite movie.
Perfect amount of foreshadowing coupled with just enough of jumping back and forth to make you stay hooked, then doubley happy ending!!! Good stuff all the way round, prime example of a great creepypasta :)
Ahh, damn. I got a 9am class tomorrow mornin so I'll have to wait to finish this one. I love these longer uploads though, so thank you! I'm looking forward to listening to the rest!
Not sure if you take suggestions, but hearing your narration of stories I've already heard makes the stories feel new, like I haven't heard them before. I'd love to hear you narrate The Quiet Sky by Ryan Brennaman, it's my all time favorite creepypasta. It's a bit of an older one, but definitely still really good
The spire in the woods is the best thing I’ve read outside of Stephen King. Unfortunately Amblin picked it up and never developed it so it’s disappeared from the internet. Not from my documents tho 😏
I don't think I've ever cringed so hard at body horror before, and this is coming from a massive fan of horror and a biologist by day! The soft ending was absolutely awesome but it was the build-up that was unlike any other! Don't think I'll be going to any mountain trips with people any time soon... or ever... But fantastic job with the narration, always puts me on the edge of my seat and all of the different voices for each character just makes the story more immersive! Also unrelated but being from Europe and struggling with the many accents of the English language you are one of the few American accents I find easy to follow! So thank you haha
Loved this!!!! PLEASE PLEASE more wendigo/skin walker/goat man stories!! I do like the particularly longer stories, that I can fall asleep too.....once again great narration!!!
That you are a great narrator, indisputable. That you are a capable writer (in your own right, lol), in my opinion, no doubt. These are sufficient to make your channel exceptional, to be sure. However, what makes your channel great is your ability to find original, intellectually stimulating and emotionally moving stories from a sea of mediocrity that is the flood of Reddit. Seriously, nobody does it better. I love the very 'human' climate that pervades most of the stories you choose. Nice work. RUclips wouldn't be the same without you.
So well-stated - could never have said it better, really! 😊 There’s always such fantastic, realistic, full of emotion and giving you a true sense of reality narration happening here with you, Lighthouse! I love listening to you ~ and believe me, I have listened to a lot, many very good as well. You lend a particular brand of realism with your narrations however. Love it! I enjoy so much listening to these stories at night as I have sleep issues….. as do most of the crew who come to listen, naturally. ♥️🙏🏼😇🤍
This was a great story and as always awesome narration. I always love when you do longer stories so thank you very much for sharing your talents with us.
I'm a fairly new subscriber, but I absolutely love the way you narrate L.H.!! I listen to several different channels and find myself always listening to your content 1st!! And I love the longer storys!! I normally fall asleep, but will always listen 1st thing next morning. Usually on my treck to work !! Thnx again for all the Gr8 content brother!!!
Great story selection. I've got to come up with a better description, but man. Great story selection and perfect timing as of yesterday we got our yearly 24 ish hour rain that when done the beginning chill of fall blows in for the year. All that being said, the small details take this story over the top. In no way am i even slightly taking a sliver away from the author but it's just your cadence that really makes these long stories lock me in to leave for it's duration regardless if any circumstance. Thank you for everything all always
"The Wendigo" by Algernon Blackwood is still the best one. Because it's so atmospheric and minimalistic. You just hear it... Up there in the trees transforming.
Apologies if someone has covered this in the past two months, but it's SO INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT that it can never be mentioned enough times. Also, apologies if this has become public knowledge by now. From a realism angle, if you are in a group in dangerously cold temperatures that you cannot get away from, the way to stay TF alive is to strip down, use the clothing as both floor mats and blankets, then in small groups, cuddle together between the clothing layers. The communal body heat will keep you alive. If the ground is frozen/the cabin you're in has a concrete floor/etc etc and so forth, use that to determine how thick the bottom layer is. Always add more to the bottom. If necessary, a single clothes pile/blanket, can be more than adequate as long as the cold isn't sneaking up through. All of that said, be mindful of your hiking/camping capabilities from the moment you begin planning a trip. Don't think you're fancy and will be fine. Be realistic. Why do I care? I'd rather none of you pop up in NAMUS as a Doe needing identifying. Okay, back to the story.
I’m almost speechless but not quite. I just got done with the story. I have said things like awesome, amazing and great about the stuff that I have heard in the past but what’s the word for all those definitions combined? Perfect? There isn’t a word to describe how I feel right now. Wow!!! Kinda like a big O for me!!! I’m a dork. I know, so sue me!!! Needless to say I was in love with your story telling before this. I’m addicted to you now. LOL
Outstanding story and narration! Although, I think my favorite parts were towards the end when the ultimate Wendigo bit off the prosthetic leg and was like, "WTF?", and when Rachel says that she was on the snowmobile and there was a big tree flying!
Absolute brilliance.. Narrated to perfection , story astounding.. best 2 hours ever spent listening to you .. I listen every day in the hope for a long story .. we truly were blessed today .. thank you lighthouse 🖤🖤
@@becberry166 Wait , what? Me greeting you is surreal? 😔 I live in a very rushed, melting pot of a city and the way people behave was already horrible before the whole lockdown(s) sheet went down...it has only brought out the worst in a lot of people it seems. I am sorry that you seem to live in a similar reality that I do. But here, in all the Horror LHG brings us, we are safe. 🖐
@@janedoex1398 I couldn’t have said it better myself My friend !! .. at least we know we can escape together on this amazing channel ❤️🩹❤️🩹 yes we are in a safe place here .. your so right !!! 🖤🖤🖤
You just keep delivering... This was absolutely brilliant, the story and the presentation, all of it. Part of what makes your channel my favourite is the over all quality. Stories, background music and delivery are all splendid. Kudos man, you rock.
I love the short stories as I go to sleep. 💖💚💖💚 I look forward to playing this nice long one on my way into work. These are so good & I can really put myself into the place of the story. Thanks for the wonderful narrations Lighthouse! 👍
This story was amazing, the narrative was perfect, I literally closed my eyes and pretended I was sitting in a rocking chair in a front porch , a full moon out and just looking out into the vast countryside as I listen to this story
As a cree person in our stories the Wendigo is a powerful creature that can be killed by a shaman with a steel dagger and then cut and burn it's heart. Scary stories around the campfire. They gain strength from cannibalism. Very good rendition of my grandmothers stories. Her mother told the Wendigo had eaten it's own lips and fingers in its hunger for flesh. Shudder.Thank you.
Last night the insomnia was bad so I actually got to listen to this all the way through without falling asleep.. I missed bits the first time around . Your style of story telling is very visual it paints a perfect picture . It's like watching a movie in ones head
What an awesome story, one of the very best wendigo stories I have heard, and theres been lots! Thank you for an amazing narration LH, that was listening to you at your absolute best. Cheers both!
Leaving evil things behind is a good thing. But let's be honest with ourselves. Do we REALLY leave all our bad things behind? Stephen & ThatExoGuy I'm a few minutes in & thus is SO GOOD! THANKS FELLAS!
OMG! The story and narration were both sooooooo dope! I was extremely engrossed all the way through.... there wasn't a moment in which you lost me. I am rapacious for more! Thanks so much for your gift of breathing life into amazing tales! 🤘🤘🤘
Really great story, love these long ones and the way you build them up and break them down. Great example of conflict resolution, I loved it and as a bonus the ol man got to feel love again. Looking forward to your next story, glad I found your channel✌️
i am only at the 26 first minutes and yet completly immersed in this story. The voice acting is as always impecable, like, the slight changes in the characters tone tells you immediatly how they feel its so impressive!! Also the music in the background is at the exact volume for it to fill the silence but not to break the immersion. It had been a while since i had watched one of you video, and damn i had missed those! Can't wait to listen to all the others i missed! Have a great day/night, and thank you so much for those amazing videos, wich quality keep improving, even when they already feel perfect!
This has been my favorite cryptid story and 2nd all time. Favorite since I started listening to you and several other channels. Thanks for the constant entertainment for my rides to and from work and while I’m at work!
Your voice is so relaxing when you tell your stories, I listen t to you almost every night on my patio because I haven't insomnia I just relax in my lil comfy chair, I'll be laying back and then all of a sudden I fell asleep and I'll wake up halfway through the story and have to rewind it again.🤤🤭
Enjoyed!?Enjoyed!? I devoured it that story. I even had a little tear at the end(won't give it away) Well read that man, well read as ever. Decorating my study and as usual you supply me mind fuel to burn through all my tasks from decorating to doing the dishes. By Eck man you're a wonder!
I love horror podcasts like these to listen to while I craft or game. I find it helps keep me on task, I have adhd and a good podcast keeps me going on the projects I’ve started because I only allow myself to listen to them while I do those things, pretty good strategy, I highly recommend. So due to that I’ve listened to hundreds and by god most of them pale in comparison to this one. It’s up there with left-right game for me, my ultimate favourite that I’ve listened to 3-4 times. Great job, I’ll definitely frequent this one!
Great story. Wendigo have intrigued me since I was very young and I read about them in the 4th grade 40 years ago. I can't say I've ever seen one, but I have seen and experienced some pretty strange and unexplainable things in the woods. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they did exist.
The main character is a real trooper like the others are saying “hungry” or silent then him being like “ ok everyone good” thinking logically having true determination
It is nice to not have to look at the stories. Every night before going to sleep,I put my telephone on my chest and listen to a couple of the stories, until I fall asleep
Dang it! Close to where I live again! Lmao great story thou man! There’s something about your voice that makes me go to sleep... sometimes... other nights I’ll lay in my bed listening to the full story.
And I present, "Tales from the Light House". Ahhhhhhhhh! Amazing story by my favorite narrator. You continue to bring the best daily content for sure. Appreciate all the hard work.
I'm so grateful for your extended effort. I adore your channel and my only regret is your videos are often not longer. I'm truly indebted to you. I wish for you every happiness.
Not to take anything away from Slumber Reads but your voice just gives this story more life and even though I've heard it before it was like I was listening for the first time awesome job here never had I enjoyed a story I've heard before

I love listening to you ~ and believe me, I have listened to a lot, many very good as well. You lend a particular brand of realism with your narrations however. Love it! I enjoy so much listening to these stories at night as I have sleep issues….. as do most of the crew who come to listen, naturally. ♥️🙏🏼😇🤍
This was a great story and as always awesome narration. I always love when you do longer stories so thank you very much for sharing your talents with us.
Butterfly the turkey breast, good to know. And just when I was about to say hey that isnt a quick meal 🤣
Don't usually love the long ones but this was good thanks!
Thanks, Stephen! I'm enjoying listening to your evolving story telling as I go back and listen...I'm always stoked to see you post new ones as well.
I'm a fairly new subscriber, but I absolutely love the way you narrate L.H.!! I listen to several different channels and find myself always listening to your content 1st!! And I love the longer storys!! I normally fall asleep, but will always listen 1st thing next morning. Usually on my treck to work !! Thnx again for all the Gr8 content brother!!!
Thank you!
@@LighthouseHorror Quite Welcome Sir!!
I love listening to lighthouse long stories
Great story selection. I've got to come up with a better description, but man. Great story selection and perfect timing as of yesterday we got our yearly 24 ish hour rain that when done the beginning chill of fall blows in for the year. All that being said, the small details take this story over the top. In no way am i even slightly taking a sliver away from the author but it's just your cadence that really makes these long stories lock me in to leave for it's duration regardless if any circumstance. Thank you for everything all always
Oh heck yeah!!!! I love the long ones and this one was AMAZING
hands down the best wendigo stories i've ever heard !
"The Wendigo" by Algernon Blackwood is still the best one. Because it's so atmospheric and minimalistic.
You just hear it... Up there in the trees transforming.
@@Raao1 not sure if i've heard that one,i'll have to give it a listen.
Apologies if someone has covered this in the past two months, but it's SO INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT that it can never be mentioned enough times. Also, apologies if this has become public knowledge by now.
From a realism angle, if you are in a group in dangerously cold temperatures that you cannot get away from, the way to stay TF alive is to strip down, use the clothing as both floor mats and blankets, then in small groups, cuddle together between the clothing layers. The communal body heat will keep you alive.
If the ground is frozen/the cabin you're in has a concrete floor/etc etc and so forth, use that to determine how thick the bottom layer is. Always add more to the bottom. If necessary, a single clothes pile/blanket, can be more than adequate as long as the cold isn't sneaking up through.
All of that said, be mindful of your hiking/camping capabilities from the moment you begin planning a trip. Don't think you're fancy and will be fine. Be realistic.
Why do I care?
I'd rather none of you pop up in NAMUS as a Doe needing identifying.
Okay, back to the story.
This is actually rlly usefull
This is true, unless you're under the influence of the Not-Deer. Then it won't really matter
🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
Great story Lighthouse ! Just in time for me to call it a night. And no I'm not that Chris Carter !
was supposed to be my bed time story but couldn't sleep wanted to see where the story went. dam well done love your story telling
I LOOOOVE the long ones, thank you!
I’m almost speechless but not quite. I just got done with the story. I have said things like awesome, amazing and great about the stuff that I have heard in the past but what’s the word for all those definitions combined?
Perfect? There isn’t a word to describe how I feel right now. Wow!!! Kinda like a big O for me!!! I’m a dork. I know, so sue me!!! Needless to say I was in love with your story telling before this. I’m addicted to you now. LOL
🤷🏻 We all have our unique means of getting off I guess. If yr thing is cannibalistic monster-type-ppl, well...to each thier own I say.💋💗👹💦
Out of all the creepypasta hosts you are the best!
2 hours of greatness!? Yes, dont mind if I do!!
Outstanding story and narration! Although, I think my favorite parts were towards the end when the ultimate Wendigo bit off the prosthetic leg and was like, "WTF?", and when Rachel says that she was on the snowmobile and there was a big tree flying!
This was soooooo good thank you
Thank you brother, I've been looking forward to another long story! It'll be my entertainment at work this weekend ☺️
Just incredible LH!! You are truly magnificent!!
I was having a really bad day but this just made my day! Thank you so much!
YESS! I'm so excited a long story finally! My night is complete thank you!
Ok. I was wrong about it but close enough for me. Great job sir on this one, my thanks to you for an amazing story & to the writer as well.
Absolute brilliance.. Narrated to perfection , story astounding.. best 2 hours ever spent listening to you .. I listen every day in the hope for a long story .. we truly were blessed today .. thank you lighthouse 🖤🖤
Pssst: welcome to the healthiest addiction meeting in existance ! ^^
@@janedoex1398 hi 👋, I have been a silent addict for years lol . But thank you for welcoming me . That was truly surreal, and kind ..
@@becberry166 Wait , what? Me greeting you is surreal? 😔 I live in a very rushed, melting pot of a city and the way people behave was already horrible before the whole lockdown(s) sheet went down...it has only brought out the worst in a lot of people it seems.
I am sorry that you seem to live in a similar reality that I do.
But here, in all the Horror LHG brings us, we are safe. 🖐
@@janedoex1398 I couldn’t have said it better myself My friend !! .. at least we know we can escape together on this amazing channel ❤️🩹❤️🩹 yes we are in a safe place here .. your so right !!! 🖤🖤🖤
You just keep delivering...
This was absolutely brilliant, the story and the presentation, all of it.
Part of what makes your channel my favourite is the over all quality.
Stories, background music and delivery are all splendid.
Kudos man, you rock.
No matter what I do, If I click "unwatched" on lighthouse's content even years later I still find gems!! Every night.
Thanks Steven(LIGHTHOUSE)!
I love the short stories as I go to sleep. 💖💚💖💚 I look forward to playing this nice long one on my way into work. These are so good & I can really put myself into the place of the story. Thanks for the wonderful narrations Lighthouse! 👍
This story was amazing, the narrative was perfect, I literally closed my eyes and pretended I was sitting in a rocking chair in a front porch , a full moon out and just looking out into the vast countryside as I listen to this story
I’ve listened to this multiple times and never grow tired of it, really great job 👏🏻!
Glad you enjoy it!
I love this so much. Best wendigo story I've ever heard. AND there's a happy ending. Can't beat that. Thanks for the great narration!
Every time I think that your narrations can't possibly get any better you reach a new echelon.
Bravo good sir. Bravo.
As a cree person in our stories the Wendigo is a powerful creature that can be killed by a shaman with a steel dagger and then cut and burn it's heart. Scary stories around the campfire. They gain strength from cannibalism. Very good rendition of my grandmothers stories. Her mother told the Wendigo had eaten it's own lips and fingers in its hunger for flesh. Shudder.Thank you.
No fingers? That sounds like it would make hunting difficult.
Last night the insomnia was bad so I actually got to listen to this all the way through without falling asleep..
I missed bits the first time around .
Your style of story telling is very visual it paints a perfect picture . It's like watching a movie in ones head
What an awesome story, one of the very best wendigo stories I have heard, and theres been lots! Thank you for an amazing narration LH, that was listening to you at your absolute best. Cheers both!
Leaving evil things behind is a good thing. But let's be honest with ourselves. Do we REALLY leave all our bad things behind?
Stephen & ThatExoGuy I'm a few minutes in & thus is SO GOOD! THANKS FELLAS!
Im just listening.
Its great
Im where the avalanch hit the
2 days in the cabin
@@lindaarrington9397 it's a good one, isn't? 😁
👏👏👏 what a detailed, involved story. Absolutely fantastic 🥰
OMG! The story and narration were both sooooooo dope! I was extremely engrossed all the way through.... there wasn't a moment in which you lost me. I am rapacious for more! Thanks so much for your gift of breathing life into amazing tales! 🤘🤘🤘
Part 200 of thanking the lighthouse horror for their constant uploads
🐱What an amazing story and narration! Thanks to the author, ThatExoGuy, for the great ending! This one really tugged at my heart 💕
Wow. Just. Wow. This was better than a movie. Amazing talent throughout, writing and narration. Thanks for this.
I LOVE LONG STORIES!! Thank you!
I know where this is going. That werewolf killed his wife...hunting time!
The amount of emotion put into the narrative of the surviving character at the end, magnificent!
Really great story, love these long ones and the way you build them up and break them down.
Great example of conflict resolution, I loved it and as a bonus the ol man got to feel love again.
Looking forward to your next story, glad I found your channel✌️
i am only at the 26 first minutes and yet completly immersed in this story. The voice acting is as always impecable, like, the slight changes in the characters tone tells you immediatly how they feel its so impressive!! Also the music in the background is at the exact volume for it to fill the silence but not to break the immersion. It had been a while since i had watched one of you video, and damn i had missed those! Can't wait to listen to all the others i missed!
Have a great day/night, and thank you so much for those amazing videos, wich quality keep improving, even when they already feel perfect!
1:55:54
This has been my favorite cryptid story and 2nd all time. Favorite since I started listening to you and several other channels. Thanks for the constant entertainment for my rides to and from work and while I’m at work!
What's your first?
Man this was a tough one but a awesome story.
Your voice is so relaxing when you tell your stories, I listen t to you almost every night on my patio because I haven't insomnia I just relax in my lil comfy chair, I'll be laying back and then all of a sudden I fell asleep and I'll wake up halfway through the story and have to rewind it again.🤤🤭
Id love to visit any of your National Parks, but at least I can listen to you and Dream for now. These story's are defo my favs, thanks ✌
The ending was great! I fully expected the main character to immolate himself with Jen, but nope! Couple more plot twists inbound. Incredible story!
Omg, I absolutely love these long ones. Thank u this was amazing
Enjoyed!?Enjoyed!? I devoured it that story.
I even had a little tear at the end(won't give it away)
Well read that man, well read as ever.
Decorating my study and as usual you supply me mind fuel to burn through all my tasks from decorating to doing the dishes.
By Eck man you're a wonder!
Love this story I definitely appreciate it. Because of these my work time is alot more enjoyable and goes alot more quickly
I love horror podcasts like these to listen to while I craft or game. I find it helps keep me on task, I have adhd and a good podcast keeps me going on the projects I’ve started because I only allow myself to listen to them while I do those things, pretty good strategy, I highly recommend. So due to that I’ve listened to hundreds and by god most of them pale in comparison to this one. It’s up there with left-right game for me, my ultimate favourite that I’ve listened to 3-4 times. Great job, I’ll definitely frequent this one!
Long drawn out torture stories are the best, they truly capture the essence of horror, suffering and desperation.
Great story. Wendigo have intrigued me since I was very young and I read about them in the 4th grade 40 years ago. I can't say I've ever seen one, but I have seen and experienced some pretty strange and unexplainable things in the woods. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they did exist.
Damn good one brother,, Your the best on you tube!!
So ready for another long bedtime story! lighthouse you have no idea how you voice and stories help me every night! Thank you again!
The main character is a real trooper like the others are saying “hungry” or silent then him being like “ ok everyone good” thinking logically having true determination
It is nice to not have to look at the stories. Every night before going to sleep,I put my telephone on my chest and listen to a couple of the stories, until I fall asleep
Dang it! Close to where I live again! Lmao great story thou man! There’s something about your voice that makes me go to sleep... sometimes... other nights I’ll lay in my bed listening to the full story.
Great story!!! We need another one👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I can see this as a motion picture I would pay money to see this.
And I present, "Tales from the Light House". Ahhhhhhhhh! Amazing story by my favorite narrator. You continue to bring the best daily content for sure. Appreciate all the hard work.
I'm so grateful for your extended effort. I adore your channel and my only regret is your videos are often not longer. I'm truly indebted to you. I wish for you every happiness.
Damn! That was great. The long stories are my favorite and that one had my attention from start to finish. Great job bringing it to life. 👊🏻
An absolute banger, 2hours is my favorite bro, keep up the good work
¡Esta fue una gran historia! Perfecto para mi viaje de 2 horas por carretera esta noche. Gran trabajo y gracias!
2+ hours?!!! Feels like it's my birthday! ; )
Yes! TY LH! If y'all haven't yet, listen to the haunted grocery store! LH does all these amazing east coast accents, so so GOOD!
Not to take anything away from Slumber Reads but your voice just gives this story more life and even though I've heard it before it was like I was listening for the first time awesome job here never had I enjoyed a story I've heard before
