My biggest mistake was listening to this for the last hour of work and continuing to listen while walking home alone in the dark. A car just beeped and I all but left this plane of existence.
I was listening while cutting the grass with headphones in. After I was done I sat in the garage for a little bit still listening. So my wife comes out to get me and (in order not to startle me) she yells from behind me... let's just say her efforts were sweet but had the exact opposite effect from what she was aiming for, lmao.
I also have this issue. I work evenings and I do a 30 minute walk home in the dark. I tend to walk a lot faster when I listen to loads of these at work 😆
My ex-gf introduced herself to me on a public bus, twice starting the convo in two times meeting each other over two months, separate occasions. The second time I asked her out on a date & from then on, we got together very quickly. One day, maybe around 2 months or a bit less into us being together, she shows me a video on her phone. I see myself sitting in said public bus, being filmed from a seat looking the opposite way but around 4 rows of seats down from my own. The camera followed me a bit outside even and when I walked out of view, not once even looking into its direction, the video stopped. I obviously was baffled, but importantly, I looked at the date: the video was taken two whole years before she had even talked to me once. So she admitted by herself to filming me on that day and from then on, having s**ual fantasies about me / us for over two years before finally talking to me. Now it’s about what she did after filming me, for the whole two years she had been „watching“ or „observing“ me ; she would start writing down when / where I‘d get off / on the bus and sometimes run or wait for an earlier / later bus to see me as often as possible, (which means she‘d sometimes wait for half an hour up to an hour because the bus line only drives this frequent, just to eventually see me), she was able to describe my friends well enough for me to know exactly who she saw me with, she would frequent spots or places in the city more often when / if she saw me there, especially multiple times, like in the library, lastly she would mirror me, if I was waiting for the train on one side of the tracks, she would basically stand face to face to me, vis-a-vis and when I would walk she’d do the same on the opposite side all of the above for two years from the first day she had seen me on said bus, until talking to me at all And again that’s just what she admitted by herself. Also she kept admitting to say one detail of the above, then check for my reaction, even being amused at my surprise etc, then reveal something new, so I found out about all details in the period of 1-2 weeks of her telling me bit by bit She told me she was looking for a serious long-term, loving relationship as well, just as I was, told me she loved me more than anything or anyone every day and that she was sure about wanting the relationship, then broke up with me when her mother passed away, from one day to the other, confirming what I should have known before already but was too blind to see: „Sorry, I just can’t Imagine us spending time together without having s**“ „Idk why but I just lost my feelings for you and even if I knew why and we had a solution for the problem, I would still not want to continue because I just don’t feel like it anymore“ „Most of the relationship was good, at least I’m not afraid of s** anymore“ and lastly „Just look at our relationship as if it was an expired phone contract“ She wanted to spend almost all the time we spent together in private in bed, yk „exercising“ not just chilling, apart from family gatherings, going shopping & eating maybe once (to be fair it was covid time when we started dating but still) before, then going back home and immediately engage in bed sports again. She only wanted to meet me once a week in person, visiting usually from around 2-3 am until 9-10 in the evening, then go home, she never slept in the same bed with me even tho I really wanted to. For the record, I let her decide by our agreement what we did since her mother was in her last states of dying from cancer, so I just wanted to be there for her & I would lie if I said I didn’t enjoy it either but even for me, at that time 21 years old( she was 20 yrs old) and with almost no prior experiences, it was a bit much at times. We would facetime pretty much every evening tho and snap/text a lot during the day and even then, 70% or more of what we texted/ snapped and / or talked about, she would turn s**ual at some point. I mean I had 200+ nu.des of her in less than 3 months of dating & being together.. plus the s**ting plus the FaceTime sessions..
This story hits different when you've had a friend from the internet for years and they never proved their real identity to you, despite sharing everything else
*“They were staring at the floor, drinking Capri-sun.”* For some reason that really got to me. Capri-sun? Out of everything, they were drinking Capri-sun? For some reason that is so out of place it made me wheeze
@@mentkansleyunitedstatesgov6364 you got me there mate 😔✊ I’d take a Capri-sun any day. Hell, I’ll sit in a creepy basement just to drink a nice Capri-sun, lol
@@xenofri4158 Dark Somnium actually takes his time with his uploads, unlike CreepsMcPasta or CreepypastaJr (no shade towards them ofc). TDS also changes his voice to narrate with the tone which is appropriate for the situation and point of view, instead of sounding like a depressed college student in a drunken stupor.
This is the first time that I've genuinely felt scared listening to a creepypasta, I've listened to hundreds and hundreds and for sure been creeped out in the past but never once on this level. Well fucking done!
This is horror. Confusion, suspense. I was blown away with each "wtf" moment trying to figure out just what the heck was going on. This is an amazing story!
That part where he was staring at a face for 30 seconds gave me the chills. Imagine staring at something in the dark only to realize you've been starting at a face the whole time.
that actually kinda happened to me once, and it was as terrifying as youd expect in reality it was just dark, i was looking out the bathroom window on the second floor, and i saw this white smudge. (it was the umbrella on the table) that i thought looked odd. i stared at it for a while, before turning my head, and i was so in my own mind i saw a face and freaked the fuck out i wasnt wearing my glasses, which probs didnt help
It IS a trope. But one that still unsettles me every single time. Only because the first really clear memory I have was a nightmare I had when I was 5. Ill describe the nightmare shortly. I brought the dream up to my mom, just in passing in my late 20s. After telling her, I laughed at how creative my mind was for coming up with such a weird dream so young. She on the other hand didn't think it was funny at all. It made sense to her. She separated from my father by then for at least a decade and we had a back n forth relationship since. She said she remembered the day around age five, where like a light switch, I started no longer wanted to be hugged by her. Supposedly I was very clingy up until then. And other things I did or didnt do, told her I no longer blindly trusted her. Nor did I seek comfort as much. If at all. I probably started to see her and my father, but really just her, as less than superhuman for the first time. Yhis happens to everyone regarding their parents. Though most of the time, it occurs alot later than age 5. Sadly, sometimes with severe abuse, before that age. She believed after months of witnessing mental, emotional and physical abuse by him toward her and receiving some emotional abuse as well, I started shutting down. See my father decided, after his wife divorced him because he would not stop seeing my mom, that he would move in with mom and me. I had no idea who this man was until then. Mom saw no reason to tell me since he had not shown any interest to be a dad again. He provided for me and that's all she really cared about. But he convinced her he DID want to be in my life and he could now. Now as much as mom tried to explain it to me slowly and asked him to give me space. He decided his approach was better and entered like a tornado. Changing every family dynamic that was familiar, gave me stability, or made me feel secure. I could no longer sleep in her bed when I got scared. I had to go to bed much earlier - door closed, I had to call him dad at the get go. And to pretty much speak when spoken to. There was more but I think that sufficient to give a gist. It was obvious to me, even at 5, that this man did not actually care about me. But mom and me both agreed I didn't really care. Father was just a word. Why would I care if a bossy, mean stranger, who hit mom when he was drunk, which was often, didn't love me. I was only upset with mom for allowing the drunk bum to completely change our happy home. My mom believed my dream was the manifestation of the betrayal I probably felt. Now that both my parents are gone, I think she was right. I wish I made more of an effort to kindle a stronger relationship with them both. But more my mother. My dad and I had a pretty superficial, joke around(especially at moms expense) relationship. And he would give me money whenever I asked. My relationship with my mom was strained. Mostly because of my life choices. But after that night we talked about the dream, I realized she carried alot of guilt. For things I barely remembered. Even when I would try and connect deeper with her, I think it just came a little too late. The last 3 years of her life was all about my daughter. We got along much better. But I never felt as close with her as I wanted then. Timing was always off. We both carried hurt and guilt that wouldnt allow us anything more than what we had. Now on to the nightmare, that I remember vividly 43 years later. It began with me walking around the neighborhood. I quickly noticed anyone I would see, no longer had feet but roller skates at the end of their legs. Like the skates were people's actual feet. Everyone but me. And now, no one seemed to care to hide it anymore. Like the ruse was up. This included whatever friends I had. When I would ask them why their feet changed to rollerskates they would each start smiling. But impossibly wide smiles. Keep in mind, I'm 5. Never seen a horror movie before. It's 1979, so no internet. The scariest form of entertainment I had was mom's ghost stories, which I loved. It was real life that was becoming horrific for me. So back to the dream. I keep going through the motions of seeing a person I knew; teachers, friends, neighbors. I ask about the rollerskate feet, they give a grin or smile so wide that it would be ear to ear. Sometimes the would cackle. Sometimes they chased me. I ran through most of the dream trying to get home because mom will fix this. Finally I do reach my house. I run in and scream for my mom. I hear her in the kitchen while I start rambling off what's going on. At first, I think she didn't hear me because she wouldn't respond. I keep repeating "Mom!" Until I hear something that stops the voice in my throat. Rolling. But it's loud. Way too loud. I'm frozen. I can't run, can't move, talk or hide. All I can do is look toward the thunder of wheels getting closer. Then I see my moms eye poke out from behind the edge of the wall the noise was coming from. Seeing her allows my voice to function again. But just enough to meekly whisper "mom?" Slowly she begins to roll in on her skatefeet. Looking down at me from extremely long legs, wild matted hair, wide unblinking eyes with arms dragging on the floor. At this I find my voice and scream. The longer I scream the impossibly wide her grin became. I woke straight up in bed. Heart racing, I vaguely remember being the most afraid up until that point and quietly crying. As much as I wanted to call for mom, I didn't. We came to the conclusion that it wasn't only the dream that kept me from calling her. But also because I didn't want to get screamed at by my father again for being a baby who couldn't sleep in my own room. So with everything my mom told me and what I remembered, we both had to acknowledge that that was probably when I lost faith in her to protect me and keep our home a sanctuary. I didn't know how to respond. It was awkward after that and I went home to reflect and cry. While other unwanted memories started surfacing. Good Times.
This story is amazing, because once you realize The Hole is just an infinite puzzle, you can identify the exact moments in the story where the author "solves" one puzzle, and is then immediately directed to a new one with no substantial progress made and nothing about The Hole being explained. If you skip to random parts of the story, there's almost no cohesion or logical progression, just a disoriented narrator getting lead on a wild goose chase by a sadistic AI that wants to keep him busy, and trapped in its game.
This story has the feeling of psychosis. Things seem to make sense, including things that are impossible, until they don't. Then later, when you regain your sanity, you're not sure if you want to remember what actually happened, or if it would even matter anyhow. The paranoia and odd sense of familiarity in certain elements of the story, like his old bedroom, stuck with me, as well. This story was amazing and I'm glad I stuck it out till the end.
i'm schizophrenic and this is something that is missing from pretty much every psychosis creepypasta i've listened to. these things make sense in the moment, and it's easy to fall into psychosis when you're looking for patterns that make sense in a reality that doesn't
Woah... do you ever get that feelin when you’ve just finished a story, an you’re so glad it’s over cause of how intense it was... but you wish it never ended? This story was genuinely scary, I was playin a game while listenin to this but had to stop because of how captivatin this narration was
The part about, after 30 whole seconds, realizing you were staring at someone under your bed staring at you.. i literally typed that to say it gave me chills, and got chills again while writing it. yoooo
This story actually legit made me really uncomfortable. Especially since I'm starting to get into computer hacking. A really good one ronnie. Loved the details in the audio like mouse clicks and stuff.
Reminds me of the ol' two door puzzle. Two doors have guards. Basically, one lies, the other tells the truth, and you can ask one question to one of them, and then you have to choose one. One door leads to death or a trap, and the other to freedom. It's a tricky riddle cause you have to root out who is the liar, AND solve the door issue with one question, or, at least sidestep having to figure out who is the liar, via a well worded question.
@@gruntlegpeice6099 But the guards don't know those facts about you. Nor does that tell you which door is safe and which leads to certain death. (We don't know if the door guarded by a lying guard is death or the honest guard.) You can only ask one question. There is a way to solve it, but it's a little roundabout and real clever, I def wouldn't've thought of it on my own, but also tbf, I learned about it when I was a good bit younger, so I'll never know if adult me might've solved it, lmao.
This has to be one of the best stories I’ve heard. The fear is so real, I’m not even sure if I want to get out of bed right now. Who knows what kind of caprisun drinking businessmen might be waiting for me?
That part where he was staring at a face under the bed of presumably the uncles wife sent some shivers down my spine. Much better story than I expected from the title of it lol
The idea of seeing a few strands of hair and then a face, but only some of it, is so fucking terrifying to me. Especially under something, or while being in a room with out knowing it until you’re about to leave. That scene still makes me feel creeped out because I could vividly imagine it, and I usually struggle to do that.
@@Glaycier The feeling and scene it illicits, with the setup of heating about Uncle Burns wife prior lead only to the most visceral Junji Itto style horror one could imagine, carved nightmarishly into the retina, the ears, and the mind...Ace story writing, truly.
This story hits home. For all of us that experienced trauma or abuse in our childhood. We try to forget all the pain. And we carry on. But this story, takes us all back there. That is the terror the story brings. The terror of remembering our own past, no matter how much our mind tries to forget. "It's always been there".
For real. I'd love to go back and turn the internet on for the first time. Back before we knew how it worked and every new site was like walking on Mars.
@@jackson2308 I remember being in mIRC, he even mentioned Telnet, which I haven't heard of for over a decade. This also reminds me of some of the internet puzzles that some people put up like notpron . org. The time-frame this story is on was '99, I was lucky to be in college having fun with a T1(or was it a T3) connection. Prior to that, it was dial-up and having free internet accounts like Net-Zero and others. So glad I never dealt with internet cafes, instead I went to the campus computer labs, which was an adventure. Groups of people playing Starcraft, and the random lady of the night sneaking in, scanning her pictures and uploading it to the internet.
@@yb554 ahhh I miss Starcraft and the Brood War expansion 😂 I was online a little bit after you but not by much. What a time. Now the internet has effectively become our life and it's weird to think of it as anything other than normal.
@@jackson2308 I know. I have to make sure I disconnect now and then. RUclips is probably my only social media now. I made sure not to be part of Facebook, Twitter, or anything. I don't even have a MySpace.
Ikr! I can remember when the Internet and Computers were "just for Nerds," the early days of AOL, and all the early internet chatrooms and message boards.
Its very rare that a creepy pasta manages to make me want to stop playing a game and just listen to it. The content you produce might be less frequent as others but its just on another tier of quality. The mixture of noised, tone, volume everything done on an audio level is so masterfully crafted its as if I'm watching a horror movie. Idk where you got your talent to design sounds but its amazing, and if its a team that does it for you, they are amazing. 10/10.
are you a bot? I'm pretty sure i've read the exact same comment on one of his other vids before. just wondering if you are the real one (cause the bots must have copied it from someone)
@@tatotaytoman5934 No, I'm pretty sure I've read this exact same comment from someone else at another video. So at least one of them's gotta be a bot who copypasted it.
Astonishingly scary and unnerving story, flawless narration and (I hate you for this) genuinely creepy and well-placed sound effects. I'm alone at home and I genuinely had to stop halfway through, have something to eat, go back into my room and turn the lights on to get through the rest of it. A lot of the sounds had me taking my headphones off or pausing the video to check if they were real or a part of the story. Damn you and damn HyperX and their absurdly good quality headphones.
Quick Review/Is This Worth Watching (No Spoilers): yes, this is definitely worth watching. The writing and story will genuinely creep you out. The ending is a bit anticlimactic, but as far as creepypasta goes this is top-notch
@sasparilla I would bet 10,000 Stanley Nickels that literally all DS videos are worth watching/listening to and this individual reviewing them isn't necessary.
I honestly liked how at one point the story just.... Fell apart. There was major major buildup throughout the whole thing up until the climax where he was presumably attacked and forced into the hole. After that it became extremely disorganized and hazy and almost difficult to follow, it felt like when you listen to a story in the background without fully paying attention and then have to keep replaying it to absorb the information, except you were paying attention the whole time. It really fits cause you start to realize the protagonist is the one not making sense, where for the rest of the story you could follow everything he was doing and felt he made atleast semi rational decisions, suddenly he atopped questioning why things were so bizzare. Like he was in a dream and not asking how he suddenly went from one scene to another. I feel like you could interpret it in one of 2 ways in the end. Personally it sounded to me like he had 2 choices, follow the men into the woods, or go to the sound inside his house, and by following the men into the woods he "Escaped" the hole. I also took the rest of the story rather literally and assumed he was *Actually* in the real world the whole time and only entered the hole after the attack, however you could take a more loose interpretation and go the inception rout of assuming he was in the hole the entire story or atleast under its control in someway, and that he never truly escaped but became trapped forever. All in all a good story, had me on edge with dread quite a bit. Definitely wasnt a very "Scary" story as in *BOO* you got scared, but more a creeping feeling of what tf is going on. I will say however I feel this story had the same issue alot of creepypastes, or hell alot of other fear based content get trapped in. If you make a monster a physical tangible thing then it can never be that scary. Jason doesnt scare me cause hes ultimately just a slow moving monster with an ax. He's a thing. If I hit him with a ttank shell hes done for. Sleenderman however does scare me, because he both is and isnt a thing. Its the idea of lovecraftian horror. Slenderman is a great example, seeing him is supposed to make your vision go blurry, but we have pictures of him. When you tthink about it evem a little it becomes far less scary aas you cannot make an image that drives someone mad. The movie birdbox is another example. They made a lonster that literally drives you to suicide and murder just by looking at it, however by making their monster like that tthey also made it so that they could never show the audiance the monster as nothing they could come up with could ever live up to the hype. Mystery is the key to fear. Fear comes from the unknown. Im not afraid of a lion in the zoo, but i am afraid of a lion hiding in the bushes when I'm trapped in the Savannah. The best horror takes a good mix of mystery and answers, enoigh info to make you scared and interested, but not enough to make you feel like you understand the monster and stop feeling so afraid. Creepypastas often fall into one of of 2 categories I find, either the monster is fully described as some awful ugly beast and they rely on the description and wonder of where ot comes from to scare you which is ultimately too much information, or they overcorrect with mystery and leave you more confused theb scared by giving next to no information. This story felt confusing to a point cause so much random info was given it almost felt like we were given no information. Honestly I have no clue if this was a story about some dude haunted by his past or, or a story about a dead man turned into a machine copy, or if it was a man trapped inside of the matrix after Y2K. I feel the dreadd was good but it couldve used atleast a pinch of solide grounded info that didnt just confuse me. Anyways that's my rant. Good video, perfect for mmindlessly clearing an entire fo re st in minec r afr
I thought that the main character might have taken up on angelica's offer. Everything started at that point in the story. As soon as he "leaves" all the weird stuff stops. If the first part was in fact real then why doesn't he keep getting harassed. We have already been told by his "future self" that whatever has been keeping him in there doesn't like to let its victims go. I personally believe that he clicked the link from angelica and that is when he visited the "hole"
The best part about this is that nothing is to far fetched. As complex as the story seems as it unfolds, it still remains simple and therefore more believable. At least in my opinion. Ahh the new age ghost stories of the dark web... Fantastic story my friend!! Enjoy the content!! Keep it up!!
Especially all his friends saying they never were his friend or have been estranged for a while and the girls saying "I don't want to speak to you again. "
i find it interesting that the story manages to stay eerie and uncomfortable without anything directly threatening happening to the main character, theres no monster or slasher villian, nothing directily trying to kill him

Dude, halfway through and there’s just been this terrible sense of dread that’s been building the whole time. Idk how, but this is literally the first ever story that made my stomach churn and my heart drop. Not only that, but your narration has just elevated this story to a whole new level.
@@beanieman7138 it's also an interior design thing. A room where the foot of the bed faces the door tends to compliment the space and add dimension to the room. It also makes the bed the focal point in the room, which is good for making clear that this room is for sleeping. Best feng shui practices dictate that the bed should be directly diagonal from the entryway, but not in the corner.
I've listened to this narration countless times. This is by far the best creepypasta I've ever heard. It captures one of my biggest fears: losing control. Losing control of my mind, my surroundings, my memories. It's an incredible story with an incredible narration
Reminds me of the time the police were trying to get a lass I know to open the door. She was seeing my ex at the time, years before we got together and the coppers started shouting through the letterbox "Amanda, open the door it's Mick. Haway Amanda it's Coley (nobody calls him that let alone a girlfriend 😂) but she was sat with him at the time.
This has quickly become one of my all-time favorite creepypastas. I’d love to see this one made into a(good) movie. It’d probably be called “The Hole.”
This is the only creepypasta ive listened to that has genuinely made me uneasy the entire time and had me seriously consider just turning it off. Very well done.
We are all in the hole just not aware of it. The hole is more like a rabbit hole. The more you notice the more you get drawn in. When it says about electrons leaving empty space behind this happens all the time everywhere. According to quantum mechanics electrons are never actually there and are always in a state of superposition meaning they only are there if upon observation according to a probability. What MC sees in the hole is the states that never were. He sees the entire spectrum of opposites, the negative possibilities of where the electrons are. This means he is seeing all the alternative paths of reality superimposed seamlessly into one timeless experience. This is what he sees purely when he looks into the hole, the blank screen where he sees "everything". People are drawn into the hole by the internet because of the sheer flux of electrons a window into the hole is made. Entities somehow freely traverse the hole and want to keep you there. Not sure why. Bed woman was one of the original victim of the hole. The hole got her before the internet and she used the internet as a tool to lure the kids like MC in as well. When the kids went into the hole they too became actors of it, they became one with it. The dog is an entity of the hole. Moses guy is MC from another timeline. The bees are his method of breaking the holes pull somehow. He probably learned how to traverse the hole like the entities and made the bees to help the alternate versions of himself and others. Detective is just detective but at the end he is talking to MCs dad in the past where MC died in the hole. Angelica was and wasn't angelica. First was real. Second was an entity.
This story has unnerved me more than your “salt in the dark river” video, and that one was far and above the scariest video I’ve watched. I can honestly say you set the atmosphere so perfectly that I was constantly feeling a fluttering in my chest with each pause, expecting something to happen, and it was just another unexpected change to the story. An amazing story, and an equally amazing narration. I salute both you and the author for this amazing piece of suspenseful terror.
What a great story. It's got everything. Memory loss, paranoia, dopplegangers, gang stalking, secret soviet experiments. So many layers to dig through. Really stays with you. 10/10
I’ve never listened to a story as unique as this, this is absolutely amazing. I think there’s something very unsettling about things we can’t understand, that makes them scarier than any good old fashioned ghost or monster story could ever be. It’s hard to explain why I like this story so much because it’s so bizzare, but that’s exactly what makes it so great. I wish there were more creepypastas like this, but it takes a lot of talent to write something like this.
Wow this story is good, it's way beyond the level of any creepypasta I've ever read. Genuinely psychological and genuinely scary. Also your narration is top notch - as it always is, great work and thanks a lot for letting us all profit from your talents and hard work, God bless you!
@@Darksomnium Honestly true, I love the small acting scenes where you genuinely make me immersed as if I'm talking to a man that's telling me a story directly, thank you
@@Darksomnium the psychological horror is my favorite because it doesn’t get you with cheap jumpscares it keeps you on the edge of your seat dreading and leaving you guessing and wondering if you yourself will go into cardiac arrest from pure fear I love it
This story was genuinely the most unsettling I’ve ever heard. There were so many moments that actually sent a chill down my spine and gave me this twisting, anxious, feeling in my gut. That scene with the woman under the bed? My breath actually hitched when that was revealed. Holy hell, man. Not only is this story fantastically written, but your narration is just *chef’s kiss*. You do some fantastic work!
Such a nostalgia laden yarn of existential horror and shadowy internet enigma. I am consistently struck with your ability to breathe a new sensation of spirit into a storyline. The aural soundscapes you pair with a measured cadence is both mesmeric and engaging.
I'm 20 years old, been listening to creepypastas for years, in the United States Marine Corps, and this creepypasta scared me more than any story I've ever heard. This story genuinely terrified me
old television and old internet has scared me since I was a kid due to my only access to both being in a supposedly haunted house. Still instills fear into me to this day. I don't doubt evil things could tamper with electronics at all. Great story!
I realize that this video is over a year old but I hope this makes it to you. I wanted to thank you. You don't know me, but you have helped me much more than you'll ever know. Long story short, I'm a recovering addict and I've recently been listening to your stories to distract myself and along with my treatment I'm well on my way to recovery and sobriety. Your voice and the stories you tell are the perfect combination of things that help me focus and put myself in the story. I am now a subscriber for life. I love the content and I can't wait for the next story!
This genuinely terrified me. I have seen many a horror film and read and listened to many, many creepypasta stories, but this one genuinely got me going. I jumped in my seat several times, and my hands actually started to shake. I have got to say, masterful narration and editing somnium, and masterful and beautiful storytelling Jared.
Okay. I love creepypastas. I listen to them because they help me sleep. I listen because I like the narrators and authors and because I think paranormal/cryptid/sci-fi etc stuff is cool af. But this is the first time in a long ass time that listening to one actually scared me. The story, the sound effects and music and the unsettling tone of plausibility really got to me. I will absolutely take some more, sir. 👏🏻
This is insane, I'm sitting on my chair in front of my PC and I'm too afraid to stand up and turn on the lights (might be because I'm currently at the section where he is at his old PC in his childhood house) xD Really good story and some insane voice acting and effects, well done!
Wouldn't it be funny if it was something like that? I remember stuff over 10 years ago about a "hidden pixel" on webpages that was related to security or something... So, extrapoling on that, it's a good start for a creepy pasta.
I've been listening to this video in small increments since the other day, and I swear to god it's so immersive that I become so paranoid and jump at the littlest noises I hear LMFAO. I regret initially dismissing this story since the title failed to pique my interest whenever I'd scroll through your uploads, because as one commenter stated, it really puts you under a perpetual sense of dread!
I like how everyone keeps telling him to let it go and he's like, "Oh no,... anyways..." Completely ignoring every single terrifying story he's been told. Even the demon getting to his own mother. 😂😂 But in a way, everyone telling him to let it go didn't want him to speak to Moses, thus not figuring out how to leave.
Yeah that’s what helps lead the thought that he’s made it out. Cause everything there seemed crooked and trying to get attention away. That and the biblical representation and symbols. But I think he went a level down like inception type of thing when that being threatened him.
I come back to this video every few months, it's become a tradition at this point haha. It's just so good! Both the production and the story. It still gets me everytime. I just want to say that I discovered this channel through this video and you're honestly one of the best horror story narrators I've ever seen (or yk, heard lol). I appreciate the amount of effort you put into your work. During dark times this channel has really helped me. So thank you for it. I hope you reach every dream you have :]
you'll be dragged into the conniving schemes of the incarnation of nonexistence itself and end up in an incomprehensible ocean of all the possibilities the universe forgot to consider and when things start to make sense one more clue comes that tears down your mental house of cards that explained it all, so that you're left dazed and confused until eventually even the manifestation of the opportunities the universe rejected itself rejects you, so that you might find yourself back in some semblance of a sensible existence, yes.
This is without a doubt my favorite story on the channel so far, it’s so creative and the way the author is able to make bee costumes and a dog at a counter scary is amazing to me
Oh man, the waves of unease and dread throughout this is masterful! I can usually piece together what's happening long before it happens, but even knowing where the story was going there were so many other side paths that keep you on the edge of your seat and wondering what's next. This author should be selling books. I'd read every one.
Second time listening to this and I'm left with a feeling of confusion, unease and something like when you wake up from a weird dream and try to recall the details but you can't really quite put a finger on what you experienced or for how long, but it feels like a lifetime. That was masterfully written and narrated!
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that this is one of the best horror stories I have ever heard. I'm a sucker for stories in which the boundaries of reality start to break down and we're left wondering what the hell is going on, and this story does that masterfully, while also giving us _just_ enough answers and recurring motifs that it doesn't just feel like it's throwing random spooky imagery at the wall to see what sticks. The idea of "the Anti-Net" is a cool one dripping with eldritch implications, and every turn in the story raises more questions about just how deep the rabbit hole goes. Combine that with the fact that it steers away from most of the cliches of creepypasta storytelling, and you're left with a story I'm probably going to keep coming back to for years as a go-to example of how to do the genre right. Massive props to the original creator!
Was running some cable under a house for the last 20 minutes of the video and had me taking 1 crawl and checking behind me to make sure no one was creeping up on me the whole crawl across the house. Damn good story
Does anyone else listen to these while going to sleep? Normally it takes me a couple of nights to get through a long story because I fall asleep. Not this one... best story I have heard in a long time. It had my full attention the entire time.
Wow, I haven't heard a story that whittles down your nerves until you have noting left but uneasy concentration broken up by you scanning the room at any whisper or bang in a long time. Fantastic Job
This is genuinely one of the scariest things i have enjoyed. Utterly unique story, fantastic performance from you. I am a horror fan & can honestly say i havent been this thoroughly scared since back when i was younger & just started getting into spooky stuff. Feels like I'd been chasing the dragon ever since & just now finally got it again 🙃 thanks a million for this upload
Hey man idk if you will ever read this bit this was honestly scary it took me 2 days to finish it freaked me out to much this was a rly good fucking story and u put it how I felt man
This is the first story in a long while to really unsettle me. After the first big reveal I began to question everything that was happening and that feeling of not trusting anything really got to me. Great reading.
@@Racko94 i remember the square box they came in with the magnetic flappy lid thing i kept drugs in that thing for like 10 years still have it somewhere
This video has made my day. Except the part where Ben screamed "Please!" Since I was driving and almost switched lanes from the scare haha, but it was amazing, my compliments to the author. Thank you for doing this work, keep it up please.
Everytime I see a creepypasta about secret or hidden webpages on the internet that come online only at midnight (or 3am), I am reminded of the anime "Hell Girl / Jigoku Shōjo" and how The Blob existed before creepypasta. *But this. This is different and I approve!*
Inception, but Horror edition basically. Love your voicing as usual, very well done and I love the fact you have someone else doing voices with you. You're the MVP of creepypasta reading.
This is one of those stories that is so creepy, I get scared even after I heared it a few times. The work you did with the music and the sound effect elevate this feeling of pure dread. You are truly an artist.
Your voice is perfect for these stories. Your inflection and your hesitation or tremor as you speak at times of uncertainty are amazing! Thank you for doing what you do, sir!
This is the first RUclips horror story I have actively tried to stay up and finish rather than sleep to. Bravo good sir, thank you for the fantastic delivery
This one is really good. Like the whole setup of remembering old computers and stuff and that empty feeling when your brain pulls a blank on what it was like experiencing those things, really added to the creepiness of the whole thing, and all the unraveling of a conspiracy inexplicably tied to the places in your memory your mind blanks out on was an unexpectedly terrifying idea. And really atmospheric too, it was very easy to visualise the environments, and I don't know if that was a product of the original writers talent or how you brought it to life of both. Probably my favorite bit of internet fiction now.
I've been listening to all sorts of Creepy pasta for years.. and this one. This one. Wow. It gave me all sorts of goosebumps. The use of sounds and the voices were on point. Absolutely amazing. Thank you for bringing this into existence so that I could listen to it ♡ On a side note, I'm at work, surrounded by people, with all the lights on.. And it still got me hahha
I've read and listened to probably hundreds of creepypastas by now, but this one is the very best I've even seen. And Your delivery of the pasta is flawless too, perfect voiceover and sound design, You really know how to build the atmosphere using only sound. Great job, Sir!

Never did I think the line "they're dressed in bee costumes" would be so gut droppingly horrifying
The only thing scarier would be them reciting the entire script of The Bee Movie in unison as they stalked you. Menacingly.
@@LamborghiniDiabloSVPursuit I would shoot myself
Yet to watch and this is so out of context for me I’m in love 🤣
Bees
'Gut droppingly horrifying' is the perfect description. I'm gonna use that at some point later in life.
My biggest mistake was listening to this for the last hour of work and continuing to listen while walking home alone in the dark. A car just beeped and I all but left this plane of existence.
>:D
I was listening while cutting the grass with headphones in. After I was done I sat in the garage for a little bit still listening. So my wife comes out to get me and (in order not to startle me) she yells from behind me... let's just say her efforts were sweet but had the exact opposite effect from what she was aiming for, lmao.
I also have this issue. I work evenings and I do a 30 minute walk home in the dark. I tend to walk a lot faster when I listen to loads of these at work 😆
@@mjt4941 ironic since I just got done cutting grass and I too was listening to internet horror.
@@Darksomnium Oooo ll
I love how this story has no real monsters or jumpscares. Just a permanent sense of dread
I don't know him screaming please got me, teach me to listen to him with headphones by myself in a warehouse. Creepy enough in here already 😂
technically there was a single jumpscare. the loud “PLEASE”
Yeah the loud PLEASE woke me up from a dead sleep lol
The loud "PLEASE" actually made me jump of my chair.
My ex-gf introduced herself to me on a public bus, twice starting the convo in two times meeting each other over two months, separate occasions. The second time I asked her out on a date & from then on, we got together very quickly.
One day, maybe around 2 months or a bit less into us being together, she shows me a video on her phone. I see myself sitting in said public bus, being filmed from a seat looking the opposite way but around 4 rows of seats down from my own. The camera followed me a bit outside even and when I walked out of view, not once even looking into its direction, the video stopped.
I obviously was baffled, but importantly, I looked at the date: the video was taken two whole years before she had even talked to me once.
So she admitted by herself to filming me on that day and from then on, having s**ual fantasies about me / us for over two years before finally talking to me. Now it’s about what she did after filming me, for the whole two years she had been „watching“ or „observing“ me ;
she would start writing down when / where I‘d get off / on the bus and sometimes run or wait for an earlier / later bus to see me as often as possible, (which means she‘d sometimes wait for half an hour up to an hour because the bus line only drives this frequent, just to eventually see me), she was able to describe my friends well enough for me to know exactly who she saw me with, she would frequent spots or places in the city more often when / if she saw me there, especially multiple times, like in the library, lastly she would mirror me, if I was waiting for the train on one side of the tracks, she would basically stand face to face to me, vis-a-vis and when I would walk she’d do the same on the opposite side
all of the above for two years from the first day she had seen me on said bus, until talking to me at all
And again that’s just what she admitted by herself. Also she kept admitting to say one detail of the above, then check for my reaction, even being amused at my surprise etc, then reveal something new, so I found out about all details in the period of 1-2 weeks of her telling me bit by bit
She told me she was looking for a serious long-term, loving relationship as well, just as I was, told me she loved me more than anything or anyone every day and that she was sure about wanting the relationship, then broke up with me when her mother passed away, from one day to the other, confirming what I should have known before already but was too blind to see: „Sorry, I just can’t Imagine us spending time together without having s**“ „Idk why but I just lost my feelings for you and even if I knew why and we had a solution for the problem, I would still not want to continue because I just don’t feel like it anymore“ „Most of the relationship was good, at least I’m not afraid of s** anymore“ and lastly „Just look at our relationship as if it was an expired phone contract“
She wanted to spend almost all the time we spent together in private in bed, yk „exercising“ not just chilling, apart from family gatherings, going shopping & eating maybe once (to be fair it was covid time when we started dating but still) before, then going back home and immediately engage in bed sports again. She only wanted to meet me once a week in person, visiting usually from around 2-3 am until 9-10 in the evening, then go home, she never slept in the same bed with me even tho I really wanted to. For the record, I let her decide by our agreement what we did since her mother was in her last states of dying from cancer, so I just wanted to be there for her & I would lie if I said I didn’t enjoy it either but even for me, at that time 21 years old( she was 20 yrs old) and with almost no prior experiences, it was a bit much at times. We would facetime pretty much every evening tho and snap/text a lot during the day and even then, 70% or more of what we texted/ snapped and / or talked about, she would turn s**ual at some point. I mean I had 200+ nu.des of her in less than 3 months of dating & being together.. plus the s**ting plus the FaceTime sessions..

C' mon.
This is the first time that I've genuinely felt scared listening to a creepypasta, I've listened to hundreds and hundreds and for sure been creeped out in the past but never once on this level. Well fucking done!
felt the same way

This is horror. Confusion, suspense. I was blown away with each "wtf" moment trying to figure out just what the heck was going on. This is an amazing story!
and the sound design is top notch, it really makes you feel it is real.
DITTO TO THAT!!!
That part where he was staring at a face for 30 seconds gave me the chills. Imagine staring at something in the dark only to realize you've been starting at a face the whole time.
that actually kinda happened to me once, and it was as terrifying as youd expect
in reality it was just dark, i was looking out the bathroom window on the second floor, and i saw this white smudge. (it was the umbrella on the table) that i thought looked odd. i stared at it for a while, before turning my head, and i was so in my own mind i saw a face and freaked the fuck out
i wasnt wearing my glasses, which probs didnt help
A whole two hours of internet horror story without a single "impossibly wide grin". Thanks for narrating this excellent tale, man. 😄
HAHAHHAHA i never thought about it before you commented. That’s funny af
a *HYPER-REALISTIC impossibly wide grin
My trope peeve "nothings there but I could feel eyes on me."
Well, after the last couple years we've had nothing is more terrifying than a big grin.
Nobody good has a right to be that happy.
It IS a trope. But one that still unsettles me every single time. Only because the first really clear memory I have was a nightmare I had when I was 5. Ill describe the nightmare shortly.
I brought the dream up to my mom, just in passing in my late 20s. After telling her, I laughed at how creative my mind was for coming up with such a weird dream so young. She on the other hand
didn't think it was funny at all. It made sense to her. She separated from my father by then for at least a decade and we had a back n forth relationship since.
She said she remembered the day around age five, where like a light switch, I started no longer wanted to be hugged by her. Supposedly I was very clingy up until then. And other things I did or didnt do, told her I no longer blindly trusted her. Nor did I seek comfort as much. If at all.
I probably started to see her and my father, but really just her, as less than superhuman for the first time. Yhis happens to everyone regarding their parents. Though most of the time, it occurs alot later than age 5. Sadly, sometimes with severe abuse, before that age. She believed after months of witnessing mental, emotional and physical abuse by him toward her and receiving some emotional abuse as well, I started shutting down.
See my father decided, after his wife divorced him because he would not stop seeing my mom, that he would move in with mom and me. I had no idea who this man was until then. Mom saw no reason to tell me since he had not shown any interest to be a dad again. He provided for me and that's all she really cared about.
But he convinced her he DID want to be in my life and he could now. Now as much as mom tried to explain it to me slowly and asked him to give me space. He decided his approach was better and entered like a tornado. Changing every family dynamic that was familiar, gave me stability, or made me feel secure. I could no longer sleep in her bed when I got scared. I had to go to bed much earlier - door closed, I had to call him dad at the get go. And to pretty much speak when spoken to. There was more but I think that sufficient to give a gist. It was obvious to me, even at 5, that this man did not actually care about me. But mom and me both agreed I didn't really care. Father was just a word. Why would I care if a bossy, mean stranger, who hit mom when he was drunk, which was often, didn't love me. I was only upset with mom for allowing the drunk bum to completely change our happy home.
My mom believed my dream was the manifestation of the betrayal I probably felt. Now that both my parents are gone, I think she was right. I wish I made more of an effort to kindle a stronger relationship with them both. But more my mother. My dad and I had a pretty superficial, joke around(especially at moms expense) relationship. And he would give me money whenever I asked. My relationship with my mom was strained. Mostly because of my life choices. But after that night we talked about the dream, I realized she carried alot of guilt. For things I barely remembered. Even when I would try and connect deeper with her, I think it just came a little too late. The last 3 years of her life was all about my daughter. We got along much better. But I never felt as close with her as I wanted then. Timing was always off. We both carried hurt and guilt that wouldnt allow us anything more than what we had.
Now on to the nightmare, that I remember vividly 43 years later. It began with me walking around the neighborhood. I quickly noticed anyone I would see, no longer had feet but roller skates at the end of their legs. Like the skates were people's actual feet. Everyone but me.
And now, no one seemed to care to hide it anymore. Like the ruse was up. This included whatever friends I had. When I would ask them why their feet changed to rollerskates they would each start smiling. But impossibly wide smiles. Keep in mind, I'm 5. Never seen a horror movie before. It's 1979, so no internet. The scariest form of entertainment I had was mom's ghost stories, which I loved. It was real life that was becoming horrific for me. So back to the dream. I keep going through the motions of seeing a person I knew; teachers, friends, neighbors. I ask about the rollerskate feet, they give a grin or smile so wide that it would be ear to ear. Sometimes the would cackle. Sometimes they chased me. I ran through most of the dream trying to get home because mom will fix this. Finally I do reach my house. I run in and scream for my mom. I hear her in the kitchen while I start rambling off what's going on. At first, I think she didn't hear me because she wouldn't respond. I keep repeating "Mom!" Until I hear something that stops the voice in my throat. Rolling. But it's loud. Way too loud. I'm frozen. I can't run, can't move, talk or hide. All I can do is look toward the thunder of wheels getting closer. Then I see my moms eye poke out from behind the edge of the wall the noise was coming from. Seeing her allows my voice to function again. But just enough to meekly whisper "mom?"
Slowly she begins to roll in on her skatefeet. Looking down at me from extremely long legs, wild matted hair, wide unblinking eyes with arms dragging on the floor. At this I find my voice and scream. The longer I scream the impossibly wide her grin became.
I woke straight up in bed. Heart racing, I vaguely remember being the most afraid up until that point and quietly crying. As much as I wanted to call for mom, I didn't. We came to the conclusion that it wasn't only the dream that kept me from calling her. But also because I didn't want to get screamed at by my father again for being a baby who couldn't sleep in my own room.
So with everything my mom told me and what I remembered, we both had to acknowledge that that was probably when I lost faith in her to protect me and keep our home a sanctuary. I didn't know how to respond. It was awkward after that and I went home to reflect and cry. While other unwanted memories started surfacing. Good Times.
This story is amazing, because once you realize The Hole is just an infinite puzzle, you can identify the exact moments in the story where the author "solves" one puzzle, and is then immediately directed to a new one with no substantial progress made and nothing about The Hole being explained. If you skip to random parts of the story, there's almost no cohesion or logical progression, just a disoriented narrator getting lead on a wild goose chase by a sadistic AI that wants to keep him busy, and trapped in its game.
this one is one of my favorites, glad you like it colton!
Thank you kind sir for saving me 2 hours of my life.
@@Darksomnium Your response.....what a little man you are
A sadistic AI is the perfect description for the hole.
Feels a lot like modern internet.. content content content.. must keep everyone plugged in.
This story has the feeling of psychosis. Things seem to make sense, including things that are impossible, until they don't. Then later, when you regain your sanity, you're not sure if you want to remember what actually happened, or if it would even matter anyhow. The paranoia and odd sense of familiarity in certain elements of the story, like his old bedroom, stuck with me, as well. This story was amazing and I'm glad I stuck it out till the end.
i'm schizophrenic and this is something that is missing from pretty much every psychosis creepypasta i've listened to. these things make sense in the moment, and it's easy to fall into psychosis when you're looking for patterns that make sense in a reality that doesn't
Woah... do you ever get that feelin when you’ve just finished a story, an you’re so glad it’s over cause of how intense it was... but you wish it never ended? This story was genuinely scary, I was playin a game while listenin to this but had to stop because of how captivatin this narration was
Exactly, yes. This was truly gripping.
Are you sure it ended? That it didn't just change the point of view?

"The truth about the lie was a lie so does that mean the lie was the truth?"
Most confusing sentence I've ever heard and I love it.
Reminds me of the ol' two door puzzle.
Two doors have guards. Basically, one lies, the other tells the truth, and you can ask one question to one of them, and then you have to choose one. One door leads to death or a trap, and the other to freedom.
It's a tricky riddle cause you have to root out who is the liar, AND solve the door issue with one question, or, at least sidestep having to figure out who is the liar, via a well worded question.
@@kiralonely I can ask my age, gender and or things like that
@@gruntlegpeice6099 But the guards don't know those facts about you. Nor does that tell you which door is safe and which leads to certain death. (We don't know if the door guarded by a lying guard is death or the honest guard.) You can only ask one question.
There is a way to solve it, but it's a little roundabout and real clever, I def wouldn't've thought of it on my own, but also tbf, I learned about it when I was a good bit younger, so I'll never know if adult me might've solved it, lmao.
Sounds like something from Alice in Wonderland
This is proper psychological horror.
Without spoiling anything, that part with the bed genuinely gave me chills!
I'm at 34:34: Can someone explain to me the 'Exception' that Angelica
was physical and outside of the Internet nnce?
I had to pause so many times listening to this at night. That part especially.
@SagesRS I don’t think any other story has ever made me actually spooked or creeped out until that part. 😰
This has to be one of the best stories I’ve heard. The fear is so real, I’m not even sure if I want to get out of bed right now. Who knows what kind of caprisun drinking businessmen might be waiting for me?
Well, you DID invite them...
or maybe there’s a black haired woman waiting under your bed, you never know
That part where he was staring at a face under the bed of presumably the uncles wife sent some shivers down my spine. Much better story than I expected from the title of it lol
The idea of seeing a few strands of hair and then a face, but only some of it, is so fucking terrifying to me. Especially under something, or while being in a room with out knowing it until you’re about to leave. That scene still makes me feel creeped out because I could vividly imagine it, and I usually struggle to do that.
@@Glaycier The feeling and scene it illicits, with the setup of heating about Uncle Burns wife prior lead only to the most visceral Junji Itto style horror one could imagine, carved nightmarishly into the retina, the ears, and the mind...Ace story writing, truly.
This story hits home. For all of us that experienced trauma or abuse in our childhood. We try to forget all the pain. And we carry on. But this story, takes us all back there. That is the terror the story brings. The terror of remembering our own past, no matter how much our mind tries to forget. "It's always been there".
This is so nostalgic. Dial up modern, finding free ways to get in to the internet, some of this just feels like going through memory lane.
For real. I'd love to go back and turn the internet on for the first time. Back before we knew how it worked and every new site was like walking on Mars.
@@jackson2308 I remember being in mIRC, he even mentioned Telnet, which I haven't heard of for over a decade. This also reminds me of some of the internet puzzles that some people put up like notpron . org. The time-frame this story is on was '99, I was lucky to be in college having fun with a T1(or was it a T3) connection. Prior to that, it was dial-up and having free internet accounts like Net-Zero and others. So glad I never dealt with internet cafes, instead I went to the campus computer labs, which was an adventure. Groups of people playing Starcraft, and the random lady of the night sneaking in, scanning her pictures and uploading it to the internet.
@@yb554 ahhh I miss Starcraft and the Brood War expansion 😂 I was online a little bit after you but not by much. What a time. Now the internet has effectively become our life and it's weird to think of it as anything other than normal.

Its very rare that a creepy pasta manages to make me want to stop playing a game and just listen to it. The content you produce might be less frequent as others but its just on another tier of quality. The mixture of noised, tone, volume everything done on an audio level is so masterfully crafted its as if I'm watching a horror movie. Idk where you got your talent to design sounds but its amazing, and if its a team that does it for you, they are amazing. 10/10.

Astonishingly scary and unnerving story, flawless narration and (I hate you for this) genuinely creepy and well-placed sound effects. I'm alone at home and I genuinely had to stop halfway through, have something to eat, go back into my room and turn the lights on to get through the rest of it. A lot of the sounds had me taking my headphones off or pausing the video to check if they were real or a part of the story. Damn you and damn HyperX and their absurdly good quality headphones.

I honestly liked how at one point the story just.... Fell apart. There was major major buildup throughout the whole thing up until the climax where he was presumably attacked and forced into the hole. After that it became extremely disorganized and hazy and almost difficult to follow, it felt like when you listen to a story in the background without fully paying attention and then have to keep replaying it to absorb the information, except you were paying attention the whole time. It really fits cause you start to realize the protagonist is the one not making sense, where for the rest of the story you could follow everything he was doing and felt he made atleast semi rational decisions, suddenly he atopped questioning why things were so bizzare. Like he was in a dream and not asking how he suddenly went from one scene to another. I feel like you could interpret it in one of 2 ways in the end. Personally it sounded to me like he had 2 choices, follow the men into the woods, or go to the sound inside his house, and by following the men into the woods he "Escaped" the hole. I also took the rest of the story rather literally and assumed he was *Actually* in the real world the whole time and only entered the hole after the attack, however you could take a more loose interpretation and go the inception rout of assuming he was in the hole the entire story or atleast under its control in someway, and that he never truly escaped but became trapped forever. All in all a good story, had me on edge with dread quite a bit. Definitely wasnt a very "Scary" story as in *BOO* you got scared, but more a creeping feeling of what tf is going on.
I will say however I feel this story had the same issue alot of creepypastes, or hell alot of other fear based content get trapped in. If you make a monster a physical tangible thing then it can never be that scary. Jason doesnt scare me cause hes ultimately just a slow moving monster with an ax. He's a thing. If I hit him with a ttank shell hes done for. Sleenderman however does scare me, because he both is and isnt a thing. Its the idea of lovecraftian horror. Slenderman is a great example, seeing him is supposed to make your vision go blurry, but we have pictures of him. When you tthink about it evem a little it becomes far less scary aas you cannot make an image that drives someone mad. The movie birdbox is another example. They made a lonster that literally drives you to suicide and murder just by looking at it, however by making their monster like that tthey also made it so that they could never show the audiance the monster as nothing they could come up with could ever live up to the hype. Mystery is the key to fear. Fear comes from the unknown. Im not afraid of a lion in the zoo, but i am afraid of a lion hiding in the bushes when I'm trapped in the Savannah. The best horror takes a good mix of mystery and answers, enoigh info to make you scared and interested, but not enough to make you feel like you understand the monster and stop feeling so afraid. Creepypastas often fall into one of of 2 categories I find, either the monster is fully described as some awful ugly beast and they rely on the description and wonder of where ot comes from to scare you which is ultimately too much information, or they overcorrect with mystery and leave you more confused theb scared by giving next to no information. This story felt confusing to a point cause so much random info was given it almost felt like we were given no information. Honestly I have no clue if this was a story about some dude haunted by his past or, or a story about a dead man turned into a machine copy, or if it was a man trapped inside of the matrix after Y2K. I feel the dreadd was good but it couldve used atleast a pinch of solide grounded info that didnt just confuse me.
Anyways that's my rant. Good video, perfect for mmindlessly clearing an entire fo re st in minec r afr
I thought that the main character might have taken up on angelica's offer. Everything started at that point in the story. As soon as he "leaves" all the weird stuff stops. If the first part was in fact real then why doesn't he keep getting harassed. We have already been told by his "future self" that whatever has been keeping him in there doesn't like to let its victims go. I personally believe that he clicked the link from angelica and that is when he visited the "hole"
The best part about this is that nothing is to far fetched. As complex as the story seems as it unfolds, it still remains simple and therefore more believable. At least in my opinion. Ahh the new age ghost stories of the dark web... Fantastic story my friend!! Enjoy the content!! Keep it up!!
Especially all his friends saying they never were his friend or have been estranged for a while and the girls saying "I don't want to speak to you again. "

My ex-gf introduced herself to me on a public bus, twice starting the convo in two times meeting each other over two months, separate occasions. The second time I asked her out on a date & from then on, we got together very quickly.
One day, maybe around 2 months or a bit less into us being together, she shows me a video on her phone. I see myself sitting in said public bus, being filmed from a seat looking the opposite way but around 4 rows of seats down from my own. The camera followed me a bit outside even and when I walked out of view, not once even looking into its direction, the video stopped.
I obviously was baffled, but importantly, I looked at the date: the video was taken two whole years before she had even talked to me once.
So she admitted by herself to filming me on that day and from then on, having s**ual fantasies about me / us for over two years before finally talking to me. Now it’s about what she did after filming me, for the whole two years she had been „watching“ or „observing“ me ;
she would start writing down when / where I‘d get off / on the bus and sometimes run or wait for an earlier / later bus to see me as often as possible, (which means she‘d sometimes wait for half an hour up to an hour because the bus line only drives this frequent, just to eventually see me), she was able to describe my friends well enough for me to know exactly who she saw me with, she would frequent spots or places in the city more often when / if she saw me there, especially multiple times, like in the library, lastly she would mirror me, if I was waiting for the train on one side of the tracks, she would basically stand face to face to me, vis-a-vis and when I would walk she’d do the same on the opposite side
all of the above for two years from the first day she had seen me on said bus, until talking to me at all
And again that’s just what she admitted by herself. Also she kept admitting to say one detail of the above, then check for my reaction, even being amused at my surprise etc, then reveal something new, so I found out about all details in the period of 1-2 weeks of her telling me bit by bit
She told me she was looking for a serious long-term, loving relationship as well, just as I was, told me she loved me more than anything or anyone every day and that she was sure about wanting the relationship, then broke up with me when her mother passed away, from one day to the other, confirming what I should have known before already but was too blind to see: „Sorry, I just can’t Imagine us spending time together without having s**“ „Idk why but I just lost my feelings for you and even if I knew why and we had a solution for the problem, I would still not want to continue because I just don’t feel like it anymore“ „Most of the relationship was good, at least I’m not afraid of s** anymore“ and lastly „Just look at our relationship as if it was an expired phone contract“
She wanted to spend almost all the time we spent together in private in bed, yk „exercising“ not just chilling, apart from family gatherings, going shopping & eating maybe once (to be fair it was covid time when we started dating but still) before, then going back home and immediately engage in bed sports again. She only wanted to meet me once a week in person, visiting usually from around 2-3 am until 9-10 in the evening, then go home, she never slept in the same bed with me even tho I really wanted to. For the record, I let her decide by our agreement what we did since her mother was in her last states of dying from cancer, so I just wanted to be there for her & I would lie if I said I didn’t enjoy it either but even for me, at that time 21 years old( she was 20 yrs old) and with almost no prior experiences, it was a bit much at times. We would facetime pretty much every evening tho and snap/text a lot during the day and even then, 70% or more of what we texted/ snapped and / or talked about, she would turn s**ual at some point. I mean I had 200+ nu.des of her in less than 3 months of dating & being together.. plus the s**ting plus the FaceTime sessions..
39 mins in and this is the type of story that the word creepy truly means. I might not make it through. Great work.
Thank you very much!

Dude, halfway through and there’s just been this terrible sense of dread that’s been building the whole time. Idk how, but this is literally the first ever story that made my stomach churn and my heart drop. Not only that, but your narration has just elevated this story to a whole new level.
i think this is the best creepy pasta i’ve ever heard. i felt an indescribable amount of discomfort i felt throughout the entire story. very well done
Yeah the fear just had my heart racing. And I was genuinely creeped out
Thank you! :)
I dunno why this story is so good.
Saw this and i knew tonight is gonna be a night of staring at my door with a high heart rate scared out of my mind
Ong yes
My bed faces my door
@William Shantler
Oh good to know. I thought it was just a superstition to adjust the bed to the door.
@@beanieman7138 it's also an interior design thing. A room where the foot of the bed faces the door tends to compliment the space and add dimension to the room. It also makes the bed the focal point in the room, which is good for making clear that this room is for sleeping. Best feng shui practices dictate that the bed should be directly diagonal from the entryway, but not in the corner.
Ong yes I was playing Minecraft in a spider walked up behind me and I jumped about 4 foot in the air
I've listened to this narration countless times. This is by far the best creepypasta I've ever heard. It captures one of my biggest fears: losing control. Losing control of my mind, my surroundings, my memories. It's an incredible story with an incredible narration
-“Um, I know you’re not Angelica, because Angelica is sitting right here with me!”
😳
😊😁
Imposter is sus 😳
Reminds me of the time the police were trying to get a lass I know to open the door. She was seeing my ex at the time, years before we got together and the coppers started shouting through the letterbox "Amanda, open the door it's Mick. Haway Amanda it's Coley (nobody calls him that let alone a girlfriend 😂) but she was sat with him at the time.
Is she wearing a bee costume ?

This has quickly become one of my all-time favorite creepypastas. I’d love to see this one made into a(good) movie. It’d probably be called “The Hole.”

@@postive2 maybe since it’s so good they can call it “The Glory Hole”
@@FlamingoSnot Your comment wins♥️
This is the only creepypasta ive listened to that has genuinely made me uneasy the entire time and had me seriously consider just turning it off.
Very well done.
We are all in the hole just not aware of it. The hole is more like a rabbit hole. The more you notice the more you get drawn in. When it says about electrons leaving empty space behind this happens all the time everywhere. According to quantum mechanics electrons are never actually there and are always in a state of superposition meaning they only are there if upon observation according to a probability.
What MC sees in the hole is the states that never were. He sees the entire spectrum of opposites, the negative possibilities of where the electrons are. This means he is seeing all the alternative paths of reality superimposed seamlessly into one timeless experience. This is what he sees purely when he looks into the hole, the blank screen where he sees "everything".
People are drawn into the hole by the internet because of the sheer flux of electrons a window into the hole is made.
Entities somehow freely traverse the hole and want to keep you there. Not sure why. Bed woman was one of the original victim of the hole. The hole got her before the internet and she used the internet as a tool to lure the kids like MC in as well. When the kids went into the hole they too became actors of it, they became one with it. The dog is an entity of the hole. Moses guy is MC from another timeline. The bees are his method of breaking the holes pull somehow. He probably learned how to traverse the hole like the entities and made the bees to help the alternate versions of himself and others. Detective is just detective but at the end he is talking to MCs dad in the past where MC died in the hole.
Angelica was and wasn't angelica. First was real. Second was an entity.
Thanks dude

This story has unnerved me more than your “salt in the dark river” video, and that one was far and above the scariest video I’ve watched. I can honestly say you set the atmosphere so perfectly that I was constantly feeling a fluttering in my chest with each pause, expecting something to happen, and it was just another unexpected change to the story. An amazing story, and an equally amazing narration. I salute both you and the author for this amazing piece of suspenseful terror.

What a great story. It's got everything. Memory loss, paranoia, dopplegangers, gang stalking, secret soviet experiments. So many layers to dig through. Really stays with you. 10/10
I’ve never listened to a story as unique as this, this is absolutely amazing. I think there’s something very unsettling about things we can’t understand, that makes them scarier than any good old fashioned ghost or monster story could ever be. It’s hard to explain why I like this story so much because it’s so bizzare, but that’s exactly what makes it so great. I wish there were more creepypastas like this, but it takes a lot of talent to write something like this.
Wow this story is good, it's way beyond the level of any creepypasta I've ever read. Genuinely psychological and genuinely scary.

There were so many moments that actually sent a chill down my spine and gave me this twisting, anxious, feeling in my gut.

Long story short, I'm a recovering addict and I've recently been listening to your stories to distract myself and along with my treatment I'm well on my way to recovery and sobriety. Your voice and the stories you tell are the perfect combination of things that help me focus and put myself in the story. I am now a subscriber for life.

I jumped in my seat several times, and my hands actually started to shake. I have got to say, masterful narration and editing somnium, and masterful and beautiful storytelling Jared.
Okay. I love creepypastas. I listen to them because they help me sleep. I listen because I like the narrators and authors and because I think paranormal/cryptid/sci-fi etc stuff is cool af. But this is the first time in a long ass time that listening to one actually scared me.
The story, the sound effects and music and the unsettling tone of plausibility really got to me. I will absolutely take some more, sir. 👏🏻

This whole story is like something your brain would come up with after taking LSD and reminiscing about the 90s Internet.
Wouldn't it be funny if it was something like that?
I remember stuff over 10 years ago about a "hidden pixel" on webpages that was related to security or something... So, extrapoling on that, it's a good start for a creepy pasta.
Your my favorite narrator, The background sounds and ambince occurring with the story just makes it so immersive.
Hes amazing m8 hes mine 2 by far i recommend if not seen tales from the Manor his narrations of multiple characters is immersive
I've been listening to this video in small increments since the other day, and I swear to god it's so immersive that I become so paranoid and jump at the littlest noises I hear LMFAO. I regret initially dismissing this story since the title failed to pique my interest whenever I'd scroll through your uploads, because as one commenter stated, it really puts you under a perpetual sense of dread!
Dayumn that’s a long story! Sounds like a good evening for me today :D
I like how everyone keeps telling him to let it go and he's like, "Oh no,... anyways..."
Completely ignoring every single terrifying story he's been told. Even the demon getting to his own mother. 😂😂
But in a way, everyone telling him to let it go didn't want him to speak to Moses, thus not figuring out how to leave.
Yeah that’s what helps lead the thought that he’s made it out. Cause everything there seemed crooked and trying to get attention away. That and the biblical representation and symbols. But I think he went a level down like inception type of thing when that being threatened him.
I come back to this video every few months, it's become a tradition at this point haha. It's just so good! Both the production and the story. It still gets me everytime.

This author should be selling books. I'd read every one.
Second time listening to this and I'm left with a feeling of confusion, unease and something like when you wake up from a weird dream and try to recall the details but you can't really quite put a finger on what you experienced or for how long, but it feels like a lifetime.

He is fantastic
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that this is one of the best horror stories I have ever heard. I'm a sucker for stories in which the boundaries of reality start to break down and we're left wondering what the hell is going on, and this story does that masterfully, while also giving us _just_ enough answers and recurring motifs that it doesn't just feel like it's throwing random spooky imagery at the wall to see what sticks. The idea of "the Anti-Net" is a cool one dripping with eldritch implications, and every turn in the story raises more questions about just how deep the rabbit hole goes. Combine that with the fact that it steers away from most of the cliches of creepypasta storytelling, and you're left with a story I'm probably going to keep coming back to for years as a go-to example of how to do the genre right. Massive props to the original creator!
That ending makes it feel like I'm walking out of a theater and it's amazing, this whole video was a visual movie and I loved every second of it
Was running some cable under a house for the last 20 minutes of the video and had me taking 1 crawl and checking behind me to make sure no one was creeping up on me the whole crawl across the house. Damn good story
One of few stories that has an effect on me beyond "oh cool story"
I do not feel safe in my own home while listening to this
Does anyone else listen to these while going to sleep? Normally it takes me a couple of nights to get through a long story because I fall asleep. Not this one... best story I have heard in a long time. It had my full attention the entire time.
Wow, I haven't heard a story that whittles down your nerves until you have noting left but uneasy concentration broken up by you scanning the room at any whisper or bang in a long time. Fantastic Job

Inception, but Horror edition basically. Love your voicing as usual, very well done and I love the fact you have someone else doing voices with you.
You're the MVP of creepypasta reading.
This is one of the most unsettling sit through, i love it.
This is one of those stories that is so creepy, I get scared even after I heared it a few times. The work you did with the music and the sound effect elevate this feeling of pure dread. You are truly an artist.
Something about this story is so much more scary than any other creepypasta I've ever listened to. Excellent narration
To me, this "Hole" place sounds suspiciously like Wikipedia.
Lolololi!!! 😂😂😂😂
And the forums like discord
Your voice is perfect for these stories. Your inflection and your hesitation or tremor as you speak at times of uncertainty are amazing! Thank you for doing what you do, sir!
one of the best stories i’ve heard to date, and your narration is the best on youtube. 💖
This is the first RUclips horror story I have actively tried to stay up and finish rather than sleep to. Bravo good sir, thank you for the fantastic delivery
This one is really good. Like the whole setup of remembering old computers and stuff and that empty feeling when your brain pulls a blank on what it was like experiencing those things, really added to the creepiness of the whole thing, and all the unraveling of a conspiracy inexplicably tied to the places in your memory your mind blanks out on was an unexpectedly terrifying idea. And really atmospheric too, it was very easy to visualise the environments, and I don't know if that was a product of the original writers talent or how you brought it to life of both. Probably my favorite bit of internet fiction now.
this whole story is just the mc getting gaslighted for 2 hours straight

I've been listening to all sorts of Creepy pasta for years.. and this one. This one. Wow. It gave me all sorts of goosebumps. The use of sounds and the voices were on point. Absolutely amazing. Thank you for bringing this into existence so that I could listen to it ♡
On a side note, I'm at work, surrounded by people, with all the lights on.. And it still got me hahha
I've read and listened to probably hundreds of creepypastas by now, but this one is the very best I've even seen. And Your delivery of the pasta is flawless too, perfect voiceover and sound design, You really know how to build the atmosphere using only sound. Great job, Sir!
