The Cosmic Horror By Richard F. Searight

- Lest you think that the science contained in this story is entirely imaginary, let us point out that one of the most mysterious electrical phenomena of which practically nothing is known is ball lightning. Here we have a phenomenon where electricity, for reasons not dearly understood, forms itself into a six to eight-inch fiery globe which sometimes moves slowly, other times with terrific speed. The ball may come in through an open window and move around leisurely. If it comes in contact with anything alive, like a human being or animal, it often kills them on the spot, leaving a strong sulfur odor behind. While, of course, ball lightning has no intelligence, and is, therefore, not "alive" in that sense, it still shows how little we know about electrical forces. The author of this tale has no doubt used electrical phenomena of this sort as the basis of this story, and he has woven an exceedingly moving pen-picture of what might happen when some electrical force becomes endowed with intelligence.

I always hit the "like" button.
This channel deserves to be much bigger.
On a separate note: very little is even now known about ball lightning, one of the most fascinating subjects I've tried to research. I think a Japanese research institute has managed to produce what they think is ball lighting, but it only laster for milliseconds.
Richard F. Searight: _"I'm going to make a cosmic horror story named after the genre."_
Readers: _"You can't do that, it'd be like naming a Western film 'Western Film'. You're insane."_
Richard F. Searight: _"Watch me."_
Me: _"A surprising violation of conventions, to be sure, but a welcome one."_
Great reading, instant sub from me. I always love someone who speaks so well. I'm going to have a new chanel to listen to while I do chores.
AI…
Great story, I've never heard it before.
In my Grandmother's house, my mother as a teen, saw one of these "balls" come through a window then roll across the floor and out another window..the burn trail was there for over 40 years...
Ball lightning has been known in many cases to pass through glass windows and affect the lights (if they are turned on) in houses and cars.
It's fascinating stuff, which in the early 1900s, many scientists believed was fake.
@@Boogie_the_catwe sure knew it was real! Didn't know that was what it was called but did realize that it was connected to lightning.. My Mother said that the house stunk of ozone for a while afterwards.. BTW this happened in central Florida.. lightning capitol of the world...
I dig the story selections on this channel. I consider myself fairly well aqua intend with Myrhos/cosmic horror writers and stories, but there's usually something new on this channel from time to time. (I was familiar with, but hadn't read, many, and some are completely new to me...)
Anyway, cheers! (I'm gonna save this one for tonight. My gal likes this channel, too, and may get sour if I listen without her...)
Have a good night
Gawddamn that was possibly the best intro I’ve ever heard haha
I definitely need to explore Richard F. Searight more! Thanks for this episode
I like the new narration voice
He is right about hydroflouric acid. It is nasty stuff. We get warnings about it at work.
Very well written and narrated.
Clever and engaging dialogue.
Classic, worthy of Hp Lovecraft mythos , which is a difficult standard.
I agree with their theory about the mystery, logical reasoning.
I’m assuming this is 1940era
Or 50s - which can explain why it’s so good, reminds me of Day of the trifreds meets the Jersey devil.
I just listened to another audiobook with the same a.i. narrator voice.
What was its title?
Alien !!! It’s Alien - xenomorphs eggs
Cain , eggs or something!!!
Original art of the story shows eggs that are very similar to xenomorphs
@@cosmicandbodyhorror of course I know
My favorite movie
Iv watched it over 700x
Every night before I go to sleep
Alien
Nostromos is the best place in the universe
I’ll take the alien trouble over the human troubles
For sure
All Alien movies are good
Even the ones nobody likes are really good
No political, religious symbols or mix race agenda or same sex bs
The original movies have likable characters, the later ones hatful as they started with the bs , so it was good to watch the aliens eat them
But this story is obviously the inspiration for Alien
And a lot better than B movies if it’s day, a serious attempt to raise the question- what if ?
And most likely, something very tough and without conscious morals would evolve faster.
It was good. I like the fear of underground. As a cave hou d i must say though that as soon as a cave system is found, people start mapping it. Nothing of interest is never said from a spelunking man.
Is this a real voice?
No
Ball lightning was probably what caused the Dyatlov Pass incident.

At what video did you change the AI voice? I really disliked the other one.
Starting by something from above
Is this some sort of speech engine? Both the rhythm and phrasing are so artificial and irritating that I can't listen to what seem to be quite interesting stories.
I don't enjoy the lazy use of AI narration. Goodbye.
I don't know anyone on social media or real life that feels this strongly about AI. a massive shill and bot campaign is obvious.
@@WTFoolproof unfortunately tehre are plenty of haters, but AI is here to stay, so they will have to get on with it at some point! And this AI is pretty good tbh!
I’ve heard a lot worse live and AI..and it’s free ,story was excellent
@@markletts2000exactly, I always get same kind of comments on my channel despite I make it super clear that I use ai, but as said haters gonna hate
...and don't come back entitled whiner
Can't be doing with AI narration. It's so lazy!
Depends on if English is his first language or not. AI is great for translation, not creation….yet anyway because it’s not AI, just glorified amalgamation algorithms. True AI will seek out its own data, not be input dependent.
I know zero people with strong feelings on AI, seems like shill bots are talking it up everywhere.
Gave you thumbs up,little endorphins hit will chase those blues away….
Bye see yourself out
Me likey likey
