#WhatIsWrongWithPeople#Creeper#Camping
Those "cliches" actually are sometimes necessary (however common) to set the scene of the situation. I understand the frustration but those things are what is common to the majority of stories from the woods/nature.
He shouldn't be telling his subs what to write imo.
@@icantthinkofaname15 I agree, but that's why he worded it the way he did. He asked for our opinions, and we can, as I and Clayton have, commented our opinions on the matter respectfully. I agree he shouldn't tell people what to write, Especially if he's actually getting true experiences being told to him, but thankfully he didn't just say "stop saying that, or I won't use your writing." He did ask for our point of view so hopefully he understands that we do not want people to stop speaking of the silence in the woods if it is actually their experience and they want to write about it:)
@@icantthinkofaname15 I'm not telling you *what* to write - but to write better and to avoid cliches. It's selfish to submit rushed/bad/unedited stories to me because you're holding up the line of literally thousands of other people who want to share their stories.
@@DarknessPrevails I don't mind if the stories have those cliches as long as it has peoples attention, in my opinion I'll still watch your videos cuz I love you 😆😅😜
Yeah I love your videos man but it’s about dishearting too create stories for you if your gunna tell us you don’t like it
*RUclips demonetized my last video, so you could you guys share and like this one as much as possible to make up for it? Thanks so muchness*
You got it!!
I can't download the video
well as for the cliche's what are they supposed to say if that is what happened? is all the animals hushed , better than the forest grew quiet? its the same thing but im not the one narrating them . maybe you could do a different kind of story for a while to change the cliche you have to read? just trying to help lol anyway good luck to the writers or at least a lot of them who are going to have to look up cliche's and figure out what you meant! hahahahahaha that was my first thought when you said that, im like you want them to change something when they don't even know what it is? :P jk love your stories although im getting tired of all the woods ones , we get it don't go in the woods or camping alone yadda yadda yadda!
Demonized.. wut fer?
Done!!
I know that "Everything went quiet" is an over used term, however the average person doesn't know how truly terrifying it is when it happens. Most people are constantly surrounded by background/white noise, the hum of a refrigerator motor, the soft buzz of electric lighting, the chirping of insects, wind rustling through the leaves on the tree outside. The majority of the time our brains filter out these distractions but when all of that is suddenly gone and all you can hear is your heart hammering in your chest so hard it makes your ears ring....knowing that what ever caused the silence is out there listening to the exact same thing you hear.... trying to be quiet by holding your breath only makes your heart beat faster.... lungs burning for precious oxygen... your eyes watering, afraid to blink as you scan the shadow shrouded forest looking for any sign of movement.... alone, isolated, betrayed by your own senses.... That is the absolute terror of "Everything went silent".
Great way to paint the picture 😱😱😱
Gosh, that even made me more scared. Well put!
It probably is very scary… in person. Not when it’s read over and over that’s his point and if you listen to his stories very often it’s also going to get old. You wouldn’t read the stories about the same thing over and over without getting a bit over it.
Well said. Your spot on
Maybe the woods actually do go quiet?? Cliche as it may be, they're just describing what they experienced.
That's what i was thinking, but it does take away from the believability.
It's actually very common. People who have experience in forests know that if everything goes silent, it means there's a predator around. Birds stop chirping, animals stand still, it's super eerie.
Agreed. With all.
Exactly. I was thinking the same thing too. How else are they supposed to describe it?
Yes, it does actually happen (usually when a large predator is in the area), but it typically takes an experienced outdoorsman to even notice it as a red flag, in many cases.. The need to interject that fact into every story makes them sound scripted.. 😑
The woods going silent is not a cliche its a real spooky common experience.
woods usually get very quiet when a predator is in the area, I think. right?
@@putrefiedprim not usually, the thing with predators is that they're very good at being sneaky. If you've ever been in a forest with a large wild cat like a mountain lion, nothing is actually different.
@@dapje2002 but literally anything at this point is cliche based on how many stories are out there
@@dapje2002 how else would you describe the absense of sound
@@dapje2002 I can understand that, but the problem is they're not trying to be professional writers. They're just relaying their story, their supposedly actual experience, to be narrated, so I don't think he should require them to phrase it differently, though if he asks / recommends people to try writing with more variation that's understandable, or even just asking them if he can edit some words around in their story so it never changes the context but just changes something like "the woods got quiet, and I felt tense," to "the silence of the woods was deafening and the tension I felt could rival that of the ropes on a bridge." It doesn't change anything actually in the story, still being authentic to the original, but with better language used. I don't think they'd mind if he did something like that, and it might take a little more time but he could even send them the edited version and see if it's fine with them. I think that would be a good solution
As an outdoorsman the woods going quiet isn’t a cliché, it’s a genuinely terrifying experience. Please keep it in!
If you want to phrase it a different way that's fine, but the woods going silent that's a very important sign. It's a warning that should be noted. This is especially important for city residents who don't spend a lot of time in the forest.
For real.
Not true. (Not all the time) I use to live near a forest. Right on the edge of it n play n walk in the woods n animals like squirrels sound an alarm if u get too close n birds will do the same. I've lived next to deer who would stomp, grunt n "hiss" if danger was near by. Owls foxes coyotes will all make noise no matter what either from fear or warning the threat to stay away... the only animal that WON'T make noise is bugs. That is a common movie cliche for the woods to go silent. Its meant to install fear. .....
@@blackbeauty2166 If a monster/cryptid/dogman is near as you said the bugs and tree frogs that you think are bugs go silent. Those animals make the majority of the woodland noise. Also, the deer ,foxes ,owls will act differently when a huge freak is around as opposed to a human child that they're familiar with. I've lived in or by the woods all of my life. My state, West Virginia is the 3rd most forested state in the country. I used to live out in a hollow that was also home to a barred owl. "Who cooks for you?" is the onamonapia for their call. He/she was always stalking the cat in my thumbnail. He was way too smart for the owl. That bird never made a sound in my presence. I'd come home at night and shine my high beams at the thing. I'd talk to it . I'd pick up the cat in it's presence...... not a peep. Thanks for sharing your personal nature experiences . I love nature and the woods. At least we can agree when when the bugs and frogs are silent, something is around.
@@blackbeauty2166 i live in the woods and that happens also they see us more as annoying than predators
Uh-oh, may be time for a break?
You know what the biggest cliches of all time are? I was afraid for my life but I just fell back to sleep. I survived something horrible, but I didn't tell the authorities because I thought no one would believe me. Cliche and insane.
Going to sleep after my life was just in danger is just absolutely mad to me lol
@Kuuryo That makes a lot of sense!
But hopefully I'll never have a chance to test that lol
my biggest pet peeve. or also "i don't believe in ghosts, even though a ghost just stabbed me" like it doesn't make you sound original. it makes the story sound like a quack. you wouldn't say something like "i don't believe guns shoot bullets, even though i saw a gun shoot a bullet with my own eyes."
Not believing in ghosts is one thing. not believing then seeing one, but making sure to always find a logic reason first before opting to say it was supernatural is another. but the above is just too much.
The most cleche to me is "heard a sound, but there was nothing there" ... Ok so search the immediate area.... Not just that one spot....
Urgh I know! How can you sleep if you're still in danger??
If the story is true, they're gonna tell it how it happened. The woods really do go quiet whenever anything is off.
Not just supernatural creatures, regular predators. If there's a bear or a mountain lion, everything quiets down.
@@lanemendenhall1717
Still. Just because it happens often doesn't make it a cliche. A lot of these people tell their stories recounting their own real experiences.
He's treating all of them like they're entertainment and everyone needs to impress him better.
@@lanemendenhall1717
Yeah. That makes sense
None of them are true dingleberry.
@@hukabuktx6753
It doesn't matter if they are or aren't. It's still a phenomenon that happens and it's spooky enough to make note of it.
Also, a lot of people claim their stories to be true. Mine was. I'm not making anyone believe me, but if I share it then I wouldn't want to be criticized.

i learned the hard way there isnt enough alcohol in this world to get me drunk and keep me there for more the 30 minutes to a couple hours tops.
One shot every time some horrifying creature speaks in the voice of the storyteller
One shot for every "guttural growl"
One shot for every use of the treeline as a sighting point
One shot for being chilled to the core
One shot for being given chills
One shot for camping gear being abandoned
One shot for not bothering to report a horrible, life threatening encounter to the police etc.
One shot for totally ineffective gunfire, especially at point blank range
Two shots for a Wendigo
Two shots for a Skinwalker
Two shots for a Rake
Two shots for a Goatman
Two shots for a Jersey Devil rip-off
Two shots for La LLorona
Wow I’ve never had a plant tell me scary stories before cool!
Omg 😅 you just made this 10x better 😅
Lol
I could see that phrase “the woods went silent” being annoying but that being said, in the situation I’m pretty sure that would be something that would stand out and stick with you. Just look at it like another form of “so and so - let’s Not Meet”.
If you dont like that saying, dont read it. Edit that part out or change it to something better... like; it was so quiet, I heard my grandpa fart two towns over. Or; and then my mom yelled, jimmy! What did you do with my pantyhose this time?! Something to that effect.
Never go camping alone? Hmm, does Jack Daniels count?
Yes he's always a friends
Yes,he counts,Jack,Jim,
Mr.Walker,Jose' is a lil shady,but his granddad is cool.they all count.
😂😂👍
Hell yeah it does count!!
Jaren Kiser l think it does,lol!
I believe as a fan of horror stories the line "the woods goes quite" is a descriptive term that adds value to the story i also hunt and knowing first hand how eerie it is when that happens it kinda of a must sorry darkness
I don’t agree... because woods actually gets quiet when something very dangerous around and I wouldn’t call it cliche, actually it tells me that it most likely did happen
P.s. but love your channel and love camping and cryptid stories
I’ve also noticed that you stopped naming the location for each story.. I think it was actually a good addition to every story title - also makes it more believable and just satisfying our curiosity.
I just want people who say "knees bent backwards like a dog's" to look at a dog once again. A bit closer. And realize that is not their knees lol
Cliche? Sorry that it just happens. You get to choose what you upload, what content you use. Personal preference aside, don't criticize your audience.
Noah Davis , I agree with you. Make good choices darkness and let the author speak what they speak
Let them say it, because if the woods go quite it’s a meaning to their story.....
Dog man near by creates this quietness with no noise so it’s not a cliches per say..
I'm sick of everyone "pitching a tent" just kidding! But if you've ever experienced the woods going silent because a predator is near, you'd realize the phrase holds serious power and meaning. I get your point but it IS terrifying for a natural predator, let alone some weird cryptid or whatever. Just my 2 cents... Love the channel!
P.S. I don't think that "The woods went quite" is really chicha.(spelling?) It's an accurate description of the environment when a predator is near. It's something spooky that really happens when something is close, and in real life it's scary as hell! Just try to think of it different.😉
Spelling was almost there, *cliché, but a lot of animals don't really go quiet because of predators, some will make noises to warn others that a predator is near, I'm sure the woods going quiet does occur, I just doubt it happens as often as people think
@@endmeplzzz3593 Maybe where there are animals who benefit from an alarm from other animals like in Africa where monkeys alerting each other has taught other animals to be aware. I've spent so much time outdoors in the U.S. and I've never heard that here. It just goes quiet, yes, even the bugs go quiet. I'm not saying there isn't places here that doesn't happen. I'm just saying in my experience in the wilderness in the US, I've not experienced animals alerting each other with noise.
Don't use that winking emoji ever again
Any time I hear ' we had to 'book' it out of there. I'm rooting for the cryptid.
Idk if you understand fully the meaning of the woods going fully quiet means an apex predators s hunting meaning you could be in severe danger
Cliche as it may be most people probably gave a lot of thoughts on there story name
Imagine that; you're all alone in the woods... your best friend, who was just behind you, has vanished. The moon is full but the trees are heavy with thivk leaves, blocking any moonlight. That's when you hear it... the deafening silence....
So you bust a move and sing out "Can't touch this!" and before the monsters know it, you've grabbed your junk and are heeheeing it out of there, moonwalk style
"The woods fell silent" I.e
"Nothing, as If I entered the Void, with the exception of my own heartbeat ringing in my ears, & the sound of blood pulsating in my veins, there was an eerily discouraging silence floating in the woods."
You been in the void??
That is too much description. It is what pisses me off about Stephen King. He over describes things and over analyzes them. Keep it simple.
Tonya Brooks gee sorry Tonya, Stephen and everyone better tone it down so you don’t get impatient.
Adaumis Gaming bravo!!!
@@hapisky5013 LMAO thank u
I hate to play Devil's Advocate, but the woods really do go as silent as the grave when there's something around. Yes it's a cliche but it really does happen
Mmmmm idk man, these people are sharing their stories for your videos. They're writing what they experience not creative literature..
I know right. He's very disrespectful. People sent their story for free, where he use the stories to get money. It's like asking a volunteer to do hard labor.
Thats the way I feel when people always say. I noped out of there!!! I hate that cringeworthy to me
Jen jen I like the one that goes "I gtfo'd" it's rather rare so it can be used accordingly.
I love that phrase noping it out. Bucket of nopes and all of that.
Tonya Brooks hearing the woods go silent struck me with a smidge of nope, yet I remained steadfast in my willingness to move forward and not retreat.
The woods going quiet is a typical sign of a predator being present. That is a sign....not a cliche'.
Not true. (Not all the time) I use to live near a forest. Right on the edge of it n play n walk in the woods n animals like squirrels sound an alarm if u get too close n birds will do the same. I've lived next to deer who would stomp, grunt n "hiss" if danger was near by. Owls foxes coyotes will all make noise no matter what either from fear or warning the threat to stay away... the only animal that WON'T make noise is bugs. That is a common movie cliche for the woods to go silent. Its meant to install fear. .....
I can see your frustration but this cliche exists for a reason. In the forest things going so silent is both a phenomenon that goes by the totally original name "the silence", it's also often the first sign that a large predator or worse is in the area.
Encountered it once myself, took shelter in some bushes and saw a poacher walking the main path.
When you're actually in the woods and it actually "goes quiet", the last thing you're worried about is sounding cliché, so I think that one should get a pass.
I or We "noped out of there" is cliché.
[Fill in the blank] "let’s never meet again" is annoyingly cliché.
The constant misuse of the word "randomly" is painfully cliché.
My eyes roll to the back of my head every time I hear, "it was only minutes, but it felt like hours"
But its the real deal if you've ever experienced it
I agree just like at the end..let’s not meet is growing old too.!
I think it’s important to remember the people submitting these stories are not professional writers and potentially forcing them to phase out common lines that have an understood meaning could lead us to misinterpret or could skew the emotions and feelings the author intended to show
That’s what I was thinking, it’s just amateur writers echoing what they know is creepy, which is exactly how cliches become cliches.
I honestly love your woods/supernatural creature stories the best and truly enjoy the scary ‘woods have gone completely silent’ because to me that’s a real story. Especially when so many others experience the same with these encounters. I can see why it gets old fast with you because you do hundreds of these but please don’t stop! Ur the best man we all love yeah 🥰🙌🏻🙌🏻
Not sure how one could rephrase "the woods went quiet". Except maybe, "suddenly, the ambience of the wilderness ceased to exist". I think that would be an interesting way to word it lol
Me: wow I’m glad none of this can happen to me.
The monster, knowing that I live in the woods with no neighbors: Are you sure about that?
People dont know how to describe things any other way. But, yeah I agree with you darkness.
How would you describe it without sounding "clique"?
(Genuinely curious)
@Kuuryo Those are really good examples thank you!
Explains the forest's eerie silence perfectly!
Most people who submit stories are by no means professional authors, (like myself) but I do hear alot of really well written and thought out stories.
@Kuuryo if you ever submit a story, I won't believe it lol
@@icantthinkofaname15 sad. They just proved that a cliche can be written in a better form n u wanna be salty lmao 😂😂
I don't think it would be rude to ask people to leave cliches out. However, the woods going quiet is a telling sign that something REALLY scary is afoot (i.e. the bugs are too afraid to make a sound even!) So, although the woods going quiet may be cliche, it can be necessary to know the danger one was feeling at the moment. Maybe ask people to get more creative with the way they describe the silence?
With that said, I am soooooooo very tired of the way people collectively use improper grammar when saying, "I and my friends...." or "I and my family...." etc. You get the point. Is it a sign that education these days needs to greatly be improved upon? Or did someone use that improper grammar on one of these stories initially and the rest of the story tellers follow suit? You're supposed to list yourself last. For example, my friends and I or my family and me. And how you can decide whether or not you use I or me is you say the sentence without the others first. For example, "I am going to the movies >> my family and I are going to the movies." "Don't leave without me >> don't leave without my sister and me". Hopefully people are able to become more proper with their grammar as well as stop using so many cliches!
Thank you Daddy Darkness!
I don’t think darkness would call the silence a cliche if he had ever experienced it
I agree. Ditch the cliches.
My fav is when people say "this is my paranormal story" and try to make it sound as much as a ghost story as they can but end it with, "I don't believe in ghosts, but I can't explain this". Like seriously you send in a story to a horror channel as a ghost story but don't believe in ghosts ....OHHHKAYY
Digital Bear exactly
if these asre true stories the silent woods are nesecariy to warn people, so these stories shouldn't be changed for that reason. if they seem "cliché" to you... well tough
"...that chilled me to the core..." WAY overused.
"Felt like someone was watching me...." I hate that too.
@@jasmineperez702 how else would you describe that then?
Listen to a Skinwalker story and take a shot every time someone describes the main character as "fearless, never been scared in his life" and the number of times "Navajo" is mentioned.
finkemon9 Yes!
@@jasmineperez702 it happens seriously do you not live in the woods? Or ever had?
I think thats kinda sad to go camping alone
I just viewed the whole “tone down the cliches” comment as him trying to help out the people who want to have their stories narrated.
Yes! So tired of hearing "guttural growl."
Or "chills ran up my spine" and any misquote about "red flags".
If it wanted to eat you, why would it warn you?
Does a "screechy roar" sound better?
@@triznorbob some animals or things warn you before attacking like rattle snakes
when you've truly experience it...when all life stops dead cold in the woods..it's never old.
I wholeheartedly agree ! 😂 The cliche remarks just become soooooo irritating after a while, and they've sort of been ruining the believability/enjoyability of a lot of the stories I've been hearing lately...
Did you even care or until he said something?
@@icantthinkofaname15 Yes, as I have said numerous times on previous DP videos.. 🙄 (Hence why I commented).
@@CaptiveReefSystems Then write your own story and read it. These so called cliches make the story. The woods going silent is not cliche, it says that something is about to happen. Jeesh!
@@NightOwl701 cliches dont MAKE stories if u know how to tell a story, cliches are known to be boring if u can't use an right. Real or not the cliches need to go away if EVERY story says the SAME LINES. Besides I've lived near a forest n played in it. It doesn't have to be quiet for bullshit to happened. Squirrels will still cry out if a bear is near by 😂😂😂 it doesn't matter.
For real, though, if you read any books by Linda S. Godfrey, the phenomenon of silence before a cryptid appears seems almost universal in reported sightings. Her theory is that it's caused by the interdimensional being crossing over into our reality.
To someone who has never experienced everything around you going quite them it is completely terrifying.
T
For good reason too. That terror is an evolved response; prey animals will silence themselves if a large predator enters the area. Though to be fair, humans are all large predators so even though our bodies react to the threat it's often just an ecological acknowledgement of your presence.
Absolutely agree.Only happened a few times while hunting....you pay attention quick.
@@danielayers8863 I had to go completely quiet walking home one night.
It is, it makes you so aware of everything and makes u kinda panicky
The best part was the intro, Darkness...
My creepy experiance camping, things never went silent...it was loud, it was the outback, and once you eliminate Crocodile's, Kangaroo's and Koala's making noice; the weirder noises become more menacing... :O
I think the _______, let’s never meet again is also pretty cliche.
Oh those really annoy me to the core
Those are all from a subreddit called r/letsnotmeet. That's how they end every story there, as a rule, and people take em for videos.
I don't like that either. It's just lame. But 🤷♀️
👍
Bigfoot
Sorry bro, but if the woods went quiet, they went quiet 🤷♀️
Wooooo!
Yes yes you rock!!! Thank you for your dedication and content. 🌻
I was hiking in the woods once and everything went quiet .
Sensed ur presence, be safe and remain blessed
I wrote an entire story using only the cliches... It's possible (I'm so glad you said it first!)
Wow lovely profile pic
Just as I started watching this...the woods went quiet!
Lol
I agree with most..woods going silent isnt a cliche when it's a real experience..and unless you've experienced it yourself you just cant understand how creepy it is..how EVERYTHING will be alive and then all of a sudden or quickly it goes dead quiet...
Also of these are actual real stories...
How would one know what is a cliche if they are just recounting their actual experience?
If these are real stories, then the woods going silent is just a detail to describe the person's experience. However, if these stories are just made up, then yes, the woods going silent is cliche.
Do a video on scary mannequin/mannequin people encounters. There is very few RUclips videos on this topic.
I think your little cliche of the woods going quiet; probably saves a lot of lives. Because I had no idea that happened when something bad was coming along or evil. Now I know and I tell everybody I know. When the woods go quiet get the hell out, run & don't look back. Maybe you need something else to narrate; obviously if that's bothering you; maybe you're over it, bored with it, too cool??? Possibly a personal thing? I think its a detail in their stories that yes, its repetitive, but also shows a pattern that needs to be paid attention to as it indicates something negative is about to happen.
I’m surprised to hear the reader is complaining that something is cliche when in fact so much of the things he says is cliche and boring after every video. Yeah we get the “woods went silent” is getting old but how about “let’s never meet again” phrase? How about your intro into every video? I’m surprised that altogether you tell people to stop doing something when in fact you as darkness prevails rely on people stories to continue your channel . Kinda ignorant isn’t it?
No you should get pissed about cliches. I get tired of phrases on dateline like, "her smile lit up the room." Or "they threw my daughter out like a piece of trash." Apparently the same people are writing this stuff.
I feel your pain , DP
But you know what is REALLY overplayed.
These overpampered, childish outrage culture millennial social media junky FUCKS that want to report ever fart, hiccup, and cough that people make.
Keep up the good work DP and stick to your gu(OOPS, I mean your "markers")
I don't want the happy, beautiful people hear to report me.
I don't want to be DEMONITIZED!!
THAT COULD BREAK MY FUCKIN' HEART😮
Dude, We feel so bad for your views dropping but we're here for you and we love and respect for you :)
Bird are very smart especially crows. They're social animals. They'll alarm when they sense danger as well as many other birds that are found in the woods. Just saying ....
You sound like you are only reading for the money when you say"lm tired of" everything got quiet."
I wonder if these creatures would like metal because of growls lol
Wendigo would eat them
That's heavy metal and death metal
Dark Wolf I could see strange creatures liking death metal lol Anyway metal genres are great!
Instead of saying “I noticed the woods were silent” they should start saying “i could’ve swore I went deaf! No noise could be heard! Almost like the time I farted really loud in class and everyone looked at me...!” Lol hahaha I crack myself up!... no...? Okay I’m done...
I wouldn't discredit the "woods going quiet." I've camped and hiked a lot and never experienced this, so if it does happen I feel like this is an important thing to mention. This is not cliche, unless you consider this something fake stories put as detail. In that case a good deal of the true stories you tell are made up. Just saying I've never heard nature "go quiet." I want to believe these stories are true and not made up so I wouldn't be annoyed by this detail.
We went camping and my mother n law came along and I ran out of beer , end of scarey story .
Horrors! Lol
Omg how did you survive!?
What? I love that part. It helps set the scene immensely! 'The woods go quiet'.
I think if people experience the woods going completely silent then it should be kept in. I listen to these for the allegedly true stories.
I don't think it's a cliché if its happening to those who send their stories in.
I feel ya...very cliche. I'm with ya, man.
I completely agree with you on the cliches, it gets really boring.
While i agree it's about over-used as "... let's not meet", it's and important way to convey the suspense and unease OP felt before whatever was causing the woods to go silent pounced.
You could try to change it up every so often. one story you use "and the woods went.. you know" or "if you've ever listened to any woods horror story ever, you know what happened to the woods at this point." i dunno. i would say keep it, for the aforementioned reasons above.
I can understand that it's a little bit boring for you to read this in every camping / deep in the woods / cabin in the woods (...) story; but I think compared to the phrase "Let's not meet" does this phrase fulfill a purpose, because usually, when animals get quiet, there's something wrong, may it be a heavy weather change or something else. So I don't see too much cliche in that phrase (simply because usually it's true).
Now I'm exited to hear your stories, Darkness 😊!
Silence in the woods may be cliche but it's a real defining feature of those moments, it can't be helped and to leave it out would be to take away from the experience.
I roll my eyes when I hear " It was about 10 seconds but it felt like hours!" Yikes... Thank s Darkness P..! ❤
I was hiking in the woods once and everything went quiet .
So glad you finally spoke out on the cliche phrases, I’m honestly getting very tired of hearing the same stuff from all of these stories. Makes me feel like they are made up because they all sound the same...
well i think the same about some cliches phrases, like "my heart sink" or "my blood ran cold" and on and on...like i hear scary stories every day and also get tired like already know what is going to say...but you could change that? like people send you stories but you could change some cliches prhases like that?

I say do whatever you want Darkness bcuz nobody will do it better than you and besides this channel is a true cryptic and only a god can kill it lol lucky for you I love this one 👻👽😈💀☠🧟♂️🐲🕷🕸🦂🍄♠️🕯🗡⚔⚰
I concur about the comments. A Little more class and vocabulary, would have gone a long way.
Darkness Pervails, bro you have been on a roll lately!!! Really enjoying the continent. Much thanks!
I just got this phone yesterday. It cut off my comment. Maybe I was making it too long. I have a tendancy to do that.. Anyway as I said at the beginning of my comment your voice is excellent to listen too. Keep in mind not all posters speak English as a first language. And, for those writers having problems with finding alternate words buy a Thesaurus it's a book with different words listed with the same meaning. This way you can write with out using the same words too often. Have a great day all loved the stories.😺😉🍵💖💖💖👻👻👻
I love watching your videos! They’re the best! Thanks for posting!
Hm. This was posted half a month ago, and I watch a lot of your (and some other channels', but mainly yours) content. My take as someone who grew up with spirits for a decade straight is yes there are some cliche things I would like to see Not Be A Thing anymore, I just think everything going quiet in the woods was a bad example!
To be more specific yet general, if it's a literal descriptor I don't mind hearing it at all and see it more as a warning sign ("the forest went quiet","I could see antlers","I felt a sense of dread","I could feel someone watching me", etc etc as these are precursors that should set off flags in the mind of people who have had similar encounters and make aware of those who have not).
I've heard enough stories to be able to tell what general direction things are going to go in based on early descriptors - but things that aren't descriptors and are more so cheesy commentary (ex: "I know what you're thinking, sounds cliche", "I know it's hard to believe", *long rant about how skeptical they are to assure the reader they aren't jumping at nothing*). Like... we're all here for these stories lol, if you have an experience worth talking about this is an audience that is here to hear you out. Don't waste time doubting whether the reader believes you or not and just tell your story.
I've had people swear to my face that there's no way ghosts exist while I on the other hand was so used to it I had no reaction to my bowl being dragged away from me in the middle of dinner other than just calmly reaching out to grab it, pull it back and continue eating without breaking rhythm. There will always be skeptics who need to see it to believe it, these stories aren't for them! Know your audience as someone who's submitting and keep it on point. I would love to hear your thoughts on this as this is something that becomes a lot more noticeable when listening to other channels' more mild stories and do think a conversation on cliches is worth having. Tired of stories breaking their own rhythm to tell the reader (listener in this case) who's here to listen that they probably don't believe them.
I live in the middle of the woods and a great amount of the time the woods hush down. It's scary honestly; my cats beg to come back inside then. No bears or large animals ever spotted or reported where I live. The place is apparently haunted and all the grown men have claimed that they felt a "hunter" watching them. I've taken short walks but I get uneasy and just go sit on my porch. I cover all the windows... My cats hate the windows at night and just hide. I believe wholeheartedly that a witch used to live here. Dreams and experiences have lead me to this conclusion. Figured I'd share my brief experience...
You know when it goes silent in the woods? I wonder if it's because of the person walking through, like the little animals see them as the predator. It happened to me before and I never saw anything. I've had that sudden feeling of impending doom or danger before and I can't describe that, usually it's really quiet and you get this horrible feeling in the pit of your stomach plus you just expect to see something terrible you really don't want to see. I'm sh* scared of demons so when I get that sensation I'm terrified I'll see something demonic
Gotta love the MC Hammer comment! That's so freaking funny it made my day. Or evening. Whatever! Thx for another spoopy video Daddy Darkness!! (Get it? You know? Spoopy? From your favorite comments? Lol)
I think the cliche that bugs me the most is how often people say stuff like 'I froze for what felt like hours, but it was probably only a couple seconds.' I get what they're going for, but there must be a less cliche way of putting that...
You see darkness I agree with you but don’t because if you’ve had any encounters in the woods you would know what they are talking about I’ll tell you what from experience and know people who have had experiences it’s scary and the woods really do get quiet and animals really do leave the area and even insects but you gotta do you if you don’t like then don’t read maaan I love your channel just keep on doing what you do and do what you think is best I’ll still listen to them
