Great story!
Seems like, though, the BEST way to manage this would have been to have the old lighthouse keeper stay with the rookie until the first power outage - then you show the kid what the deal is, how to handle it, and NOW you retire!
Or turned the light off for an hour whilst everything was working… 😂
That character totally deserved that scare🤣🤣🤣
Poor old gem💙
Not at the cost of the grandpa though, poor soul. Moral of the story: do you ducking job with care.
@@duttatarayann966 I don’t mind death but still poor old gem.
@@rebekaheastman3279 😝 not the "be shredded like cheese by monsters" way though lol.
Lol, this story is the epitome of the phrase, "you had one job."
He shouldn't have any job though. If the survival of everyone in the town depends on it there should be 2 lighthouses each with a backup battery system that comes on automatically in a power outage. Then you just need somebody to come by each day and make sure nothing has broken, but it's not an emergency because the system has full redundancy.
I love me some lighthouse horror stories about lighthouses.
Meta af
Same
Great to see you still at it Alex, Cheers mate. Lee.
Do you like lighthouse stories about..... lighthouses ? I'm more into adult fiction alone in the woods glitchy cryptid stories....about lighthouses...in the woods.
Vampire or Bigfoot
Theory: The old man knew it would be impossible to sucker a truly worthy replacement into taking on that job for life, so he omitted the reason why the light has to stay on, and didn't show him what happens when it's off, then sacrificed himself on the beach to guilt him into taking on his legacy.
Honestly that's the only way to make the old man not seem like a total idiot
These things are scared of any source of light so i would probably spend some money on replacing that stupid door and look into getting a better generator.
After that it's free money, getting paid to do nothing as i fixed the problems that would have made the job threatening
Everyone has an angle
Probably tried to get a hundred other people that all bailed before he suckered in this one
@@lShadow426l Yup. And you better believe that I'd also have a battery back-up that is recharged daily by a solar panel. I'd maybe even make the lighthouse itself somewhat cozy.
Being a lighthouse keeper must be such a cool job. I always get this visual of a storm while being inside the lighthouse all cozy and safe while broadcasting on a radio, maybe having your own radio station. Can't wait to hear this one!
Same here. I’d love to be a lighthouse keeper as well
Too many ppl have gone crazy or missing for me to do it. I love my solitude tho so otherwise it's be fine.
It might be cool but all the stairs will get super tedious very fast and it will get really boring
@@TheStuckNorrisfire lookout tower may be the job for you then bröther
I would ve liked to have gone to lighthouse keeper school
This is the only channel that literally soothes my soul when he starts a story
Ahhhhmen to that, m’friend!❤
I listen to these stories as I fall asleep. It’s the only thing that helps me shut off my brain and float in bliss!
@@FloridaMan0561 so true. I have so many thoughts running in my head and this removes them all almost
Yes!
You’ve got the perfect voice inflection for storytelling 👍
Yeah, whenever I read anything horror related, his voice narrates it in my head
I listened to Mr. Creeps again recently after a long break. Boring, monotone voice that makes it hard to know which character is speaking. We are so spoilt and undeserving to have a stellar talent like Lighthouse Horror narrating for us.
Honestly tho
😂😂😂😂🤔
He sounds and talks like James Rolf.
I appreciate that you actually act in your narration. Some people just say everything in the same monotone voice.
I bet the Old Man got that limp from making the same mistake in his early days.
A perfect story for illustration of responsibility and how even though you don't always see the big picture yourself, doing the right thing for its own sake helps, and not doing it can lead to dire consequences
No, it couldve been really easily solved by the old man explaining or showing what would happen. Its like asking a coworker to please hold this pen, and blaming him as him dropping it causes ww3
@@duckmeat4674 I mean how would he explain it exactly?
Even in the case of the dropping of a pen causing ww3, there's not really a way to explain that to someone and have them believe you, let alone not think you're crazy then be tempted to do it just to see what happens.
Just my opinion anyway
@@baddragonite he would probably lie and say there are light sensors underwater that pick up the lighthouse light. If the light goes out for too long then it causes the town nearby into an emergency lockdown. Say its a soviet thing that still around. Doesnt have to be that exactly that, but use 1% of your imagination to explain it better than "just dont". Literally he didnt turn on the light and apocalyptical creatures came out. Same thing as dropping a pen and causing ww3
The protagonist takes being a slacker to a whole new level! You had one job...
Thank you Stephen for another night made. Awesome story and a top notch narration as always.🖤🖤🖤🖤
Had a feeling some Eldritch horror thing was about to unfold and I was not disappointed. I'd love more backstory to this! Awesome as always!! 💚💚
See I told youns that Mr Lighthouse Horror never disappoints. Thanks for another awesome narration my Friend
Old man probably could have saved a lot headaches by staying with him on the first night and showing the monsters
Or had multiple flares and made his way to the lighthouse.
Yeah. These stories have fatal flaws.
@@jessetoler8171yeah. The town would have probably invested in a better backup generator by now. This story would have made more sense 75 years ago. Pretty sure nowhere on the coast of mainland Europe is there no cell phone service
Much less of a story, though.
Eh, horror and science fiction stories always have plot holes. I just ignore them and enjoy the story. 😉
Yet another awesome story you've got the best voice for these narrations
25:03 the fact that the narrator/ new lighthouse keeper uses the word "concerned" instead of "petrified" to describe the old man's feelings when the power turned off, just shows his ignorance throughout the story 🤣
I've heard of dieing before retirement but AFTER? Dam that poor man spend years keeping everyone's safe & the newbie cost him his life... always follow the rules no matter how many ir how few, no matter how ridiculous or complex... always follow them
Dude, you had 1 job!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome story as always
Lighthouse horror is right with this story. Rip to the old man. He was definitely the mvp. I mean he could've explained it, but mc's like this wouldn't have taken it seriously. Mc's like this need to learn by experience, unfortunately it will always be at the expense of other characters
All the old man had to do was turn off the light on the first night and say, "Look out there."
Everything that goes wrong in this story is his fault.
true. Idk maybe he was scared the mc wouldn't have take the job then. Maybe he didn't think that far
@@ericexp497 the old man really f up, he should have shown him and explained instead of saying some wierd tale
That was a good one. If I was him, I'd update the lighthouse
Could it be that those before the new lighthouse keeper made the same mistake cost the lives of the lighthouse keepers before them? Like a chain of guilt and duty that kept the generations of lighthouse keepers throughout the generations?
So when the narrator's time is up that water beast will have her feast.
Lighthouse you really are my friend in my mind. My friend that tells me stories to help me calm down and or focus on tasks. I used to stay up late feeling so anxious until I heard your soothing voice. No matter what the subject matter is I’m always calm listening to your smooth voice. Much love and kudos for a job that’s always well done👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️
my inner dialogue: "one rule. *break it*."
Your Narrations are awesome. There are a couple Narrators who have potential but they could learn much from you.
Perfect example of why your my favorite Narrator!
Dude had one job (one rule)... one job...to keep the light on!
I must say it wasn't the mermaids that killed the old fart. It was him. The new guy. The stupid porn in his laptop was more of a priority to him than his actual job. He killed the old fart and someday he's gonna get got, too.
lol have to agree he should just admit what he was actually watching
While the narration is excellent as usual this is a classic example of a story where characters do dumb things not because they would but because the story requires that they do.
Considering how important his job was the Old Man would surely have shut down the light for a little while to show his young, unbelieving replacement just what happens when you don't keep it on
If he came down to the beach every night because he was worried you'd have thought he'd have wandered over to the Lighthouse and banged on the door the moment the Light didn't come back on.
Or at even done so right after he torched off a Flare...
Or at the very least just brought more than just one flare...
For that matter even a dumb kid like the MC should have been smart enough to know if your one job is to keep the Light shining then its pretty easy for anyone who looks out of their window at night to see you're derelicting your duty and get you fired from your cushy job
I love your character voice you added it back on the story about that fishing 🎣 town . The new voice of that half-breed fishermen lol! I can say that because I am also a half-breed native. I've noticed you have done this new voice in about 3 stories keep up the great work Lighthouse
It’s all good until you run into the “You’re too Native for some white people and too white for some Native people” kinds.
@@FloridaMan0561 right
I really feel like the old man could have just shown him what happened when the light was off for a prolonged time and not gotten killed, that was on him 😅
19:44 "Then I started to purr the oil into the generator" lol 😆
I simply LOVE your narrations! Your voice characterizations are EVERYTHING I need to bring the story to Life! I can NOT "THANK YOU" enough. I don't have a Patreon acct. or I would Donate incredible amounts. I especially love the Ocean stories. I am very familiar with the Atlantic. And the Gulf.
he is the best
Great Story! Wonderfully narrated!
I'd honestly repair the entire thing: better generator, better door, SOLAR PANELS for goodness' sake! Not just one power source! Also, I'd make the place more livable. So I can be cozy in those nights, and make it appealing for the next person who will take over after me. Heck, I'll even put a garden and a small tourist area to take pictures... RIP the old man.
Worst employee ever
right?! he had one simple job 😩🤣lmao
@@paigecarlson8782 That he was trained to do improperly.
These demon creatures in the stories are so used to getting their prey that when the storytellers score a win, they stare into their eyes and promise revenge.
Didn't finish; won't finish; not Stephen's fault.
Stories like this one just puts me off because the root cause of everything that goes wrong isn't the failure of the protagonist to follow instructions, but the incompetence of the mentor to teach their apprentice properly.
The whole fiasco could have been avoided easily and all Wallace had to do was turn the light off on the first night and say, "Have a look out there. Do you see them? Now watch this."
Not only does it show the importance of keeping the light on in a way that cannot be discarded or disputed, it shows the apprentice that they are not entering into a simple job, but into a sacred mission, and that sets up a _much_ more compelling story.
Anyway, if you read this far... thanks.
Who will watch the watchman?
Interestingly, I feel like this story would do with a bit more length. The frustrating hubris and ineptitude of the protagonist made for excellent tension, but I suspect the ending would have packed a harder punch if there had been some buildup. Time spent getting to know the old man, providing something left for him lose, building their relationship up beyond a couple weeks with your new supervisor. And longer moments of mundanity--red herrings that built up small mounds of suspense that lead nowhere, each time undermining the old man's suspicions and making every fearful moment collapse, like the waves drawing back ahead of a tsunami.
The story does a great job in the short length it has. I'd love to see this writer build it out a bit. No need to go for the length of War and Peace, but maybe like... Metamorphosis. A nice novella length. That'd be swell~
Yass, new episode! I'm like a kid when it comes to bedtime, gotta have my scary story 🤣
It's been awhile since I heard a story where the MC infuriated me so much with not heeding warnings 😑
Why are you angry at the MC? Everything that goes wrong in this story is the old man's fault.
Warnings from a crazy old man who didn't do a single thing to convince the MC that there was anything to those warnings?
@@PhycoKrusk yes because if the old man had just told him the truth the kid would have thought he was crazy and still probably not listen, so it's really the MC fault for not doing his job
@@theskyworrier The old man could've just shown him the fish things during one of the outages or told him to find another job when he didn't take his warning seriously
I was so annoyed with the careless attitude of the main character. Then the anxiety level built up when the clumsy fool couldn't get the generator started. I was all in! Kudos to the author and my favorite narrator.
I know, right? Such characters are always so annoying 🙄 ugh!
Yo Light! Great story and perfect narration as always.
Lighthouse is absolute the GOAT, second to none.
Your storytelling always glues me to the screen, and you have the perfect impressions!
IKR
I've liked creepy stories which involved lighthouses ever since I read the short story, "The Foghorn," by Ray Bradbury. This story is a humdinger.
Way to go LH fantastic narration and a wonderful story thanks for all you do!!!
Damn, Stephen! This was a SPLENDID! Thank you, friend!
🔥❄️🌊👊😎🌊❄️🔥
Lighthouse Horror. Appreciate the story. In fact all the stories by you I’ve heard. Keep up the great work! 🥂
Now I know it's going to be good night cuz when I see lighthouse horror it's always a good night.
Beat part of my week is seeing a new story from the best narrator/ actor on RUclips.
A lighthouse story presented by Lighthouse is the best! Thank you!
This was truly excellent. Definitely "Lighthouse" horror ( I couldn't help myself). By far the best channel on yt, bar none.
I enjoy your old man voice, I first heard it on that story with the fishermen and the ancient beings
Edit: this is my second listen I passed out last time
Watching your channel grow over the last 3 and a half years I've been listening, has been Awesome 💯 Wish my twin that got me hooked on your channel was still here to see it. Awesome as always!!!
Another outstanding video many thanks Stephen!👍
Lighthouse Horror this story is right up your alley. Tfs~💕
One Rule! - "omgoodness!"👀👀
I seriously love your channel. You’ve gotten me through many nights of working late ❤
Oof, although expected that was such a sad end 😭
Thanks for story & narration! 💙
He had ONE JOB!!! keep the light on at all times. How hard is that? Consequences aside, really how hard is that?
Thanks so much for the story
Lighthouse keeper: world's easiest job! As long as you KEEP THE DAMNED LIGHTS ON!!!!
A story finally deserving of the channel name
Im listening to this at a little after 3am, its pouring rain outside & a thunderstorm has just begun!! You cant get more perfect timing than this to listen to one of your scary stories!!!💟Thank you for all the time & effort you put into each one of your videos. Its acknowledged & greatly appreciated!!
Awesome story Stephen, the lighthouse stories are my favourite. Personally I would love a 'Lighthouse ' story playlist on the channel. The conditions the men had to endure while building a lot of the lighthouses are pretty horrifying, especially the ones around Northern England, Ireland and Scotland. As crazy as it sounds I would sell up and move anywhere in the world to man a lighthouse, my crazy dream job! Cheers Stephen, Lee.
You never disappoint!!! G.O.A.T. Of Narrating
Awesome way to end my shift! My fave voice!!
The synergy is complete
😂
Lighthouse uploading a story about a Lighthouse? More likely than you'd think ;)
I feel like in the couple years or so I've consistently listened to this channel that this is probably the third story (or so) I've seen that strongly featured a lighthouse in it.
OMG this character had me aggravated. He literally had one job and failed. ONE JOB!!
Another masterpiece.
Keep them coming.
Especially 3rd and 4th half priced voodoo shop ;)
I’ve listened to this multiple times because it’s such great storytelling, but I can’t help wondering why with so much at stake you wouldn’t have a few portable spotlights on hand charged up and ready to go. If the 100W bulb from the door light sent the creature screaming, an LED torch from Home Depot with 100K lumens would do even better. The same goes for the old man on the beach who could have lit up the entire area with multiple spotlights instead of just firing one flare. Also, lighthouses focus their beams out to sea and not to illuminate the immediate area. Instead, you would light up the whole area with a bank of LEDs with failsafe backups instead of relying on a rickety old generator and an ancient mechanism. My garage is better protected from monsters than this town. Although I have never seen a mermaid crawling around, I do live in Chicago where we have our own monsters. This is what you get when instead of just enjoying a good story, you overthink things, which I tend to do. It’s a great story as is, the lack of torches and common sense monster security notwithstanding.
Light house horror telling a light house horror story...i am sold
We need to get the algorithm pumped up!!
Now that was good. There are so many bad pastas out there. This one actually had me at the edge of my seat.
That was a very nice story thank you for bringing it to the light
I heard this story on the NoSleep Podcast (Season12 I think) a few years ago, it's a really good story. Both NoSleep Podcast and Lighthouse Horror have good narrators/voice actors.
Yeah this is a perfect example about how people who don't deserve stuff get it anyway... He scratched his legs together like a cricket when he was talking about how the old man chose him, BUT he didn't even deserve to be chosen...🤷🏾♀️
Only thing weird about that story: A remote coastal town in Northern Germany and Wallace as surname? Something like Pedersen woudl fit better.
Fun fact: the red paint on some lighthouse lights is pigeon blood.
what lol
more lore thanks??
That generator really needs to be on an auto throw over switch along with a backup generator and some battery storage
I- THIS COMPLETES ME IN A WAY I WASNT FULLY AWARE I NEEDED AHH❤
Just not enough good ocean-related horror stories...and this one was excellent! Considering that over 60% of the world's population lives within 20-minutes of the ocean, you'd think there'd be a lot more horror stories like this out there...boats, creatures, shores, islands...but, sadly, there isn't.
totally deserved this scare 😭😭 YOU HAD YOU JOB 😭😭😭😭
frfr, dude only has you job 😭😭
Lighthouse and Dark Somnium are the best with the effects and voices
lighthouse horror is finally narrating another lighthouse Horror Story
I literally could not get over the fact that he locked the generator door but not the door to the outside, why would you even need to lock the generator door in the first place unless it’s for waterproofing. Then you’d also need to lock the outside, and it’d make sense anyway to lock the outside.
When we there is a “one rule”, that one rule gets broken
Ooooo Deutschland! You've got my attention with this one XD. Everything is set in the US or Britain. nice to have one from the home country. :D
Woo caught this early. Let's goo I'm ready for a new story
At first the ending was scary, but than it got really sad. The music did a great job of making it even sadder (or scarier at times). Thx for another great story :D!
"I saw a beautiful face" IT'S A SIREN AAHHHHHHHHHH
Nice story I really enjoyed it
It captured the fact that how one mans foolishness can effect the lives of others
I just LOVE your channel. Thanks!
I love your character voices!
You are such a good story teller 🇬🇧❤️
Ok but was there some rule about the old man not being able to just tell the new guy about the monsters? That could have saved everyone a lot of trouble...
Also, if this lighthouse is critical to the survival of everyone in the town how does it not have a backup battery that comes on automatically??? It wouldn't be that difficult or expensive to set up.
U are a superb master narrator and my favorite!!!
Excellent writing
You probably never saw my comment but I asked for a story about a lighthouse keeper who’s light is meant to draw in supernatural evil in the video about the cult who can’t have lights on after dark.
