I hope you like this story! Check out some other ones ive done by this author here: ruclips.net/p/PL3o9RgvGoFK1UHfRIHA5cKAGmd5ADagms I just posted a new song on my music channel! ruclips.net/video/fBa4hLn2_PY/видео.html
Dude, I just want to say thank you. I started a new job about 7 months ago that has me driving hours on end, and seeing new stories that are hour+ always gets me excited. Been a subscriber for a few months now but wanted to comment my appreciation since I’m here so early. You make my job much less monotonous and boring. Thank you.
I really liked how instead of just using the cliched “my curiosity got the better of me” or some kind of derivative the story really explained how that thought process works and how it’s a desire to understand and the mix of fear and excitement of something unknown, hard to explain exactly but it really enhanced the story
I’m only 33mins in but had to pause and take a break. The vivid description of Kurt’s condition literally sent shivers down my spine. And I was a police officer for 9 years! This was some nasty stuff lol
The part about the car not agreeing with the fake Evie made me instantly think about Fae and their weakness to iron. Certainly has an eerie sense to this story, but it might just be more alien than anything else.
You have no idea how much I enjoy your videos. I'm 47. I'm a disabled combat vet. I have a genetic disease called retinitis pigmentosa which is causing me to go blind. And listening to your stories and lighthouse horror and Jordan Grupe, you got no idea how much I appreciate you guys.
Your videos honestly bring me so much comfort! I’ve been watching for a while and I gotta say that “ Ted the Caver” is my all time favorite story. I’ve listened to a lot of your narrations at least twice! I really appreciate all the work you do. Thank you!
Awesome Story. Hints at a larger universe while being a well contained story. And super freaky. I love the fantasy meets horror feeling. Your sound design really lifted the experience to another level. 👏👏👏 For genre recommendations I’d love some more psychological horror. “My wife has been peaking at me” has been on my mind lately.
I really love the "my thoughts" section your videos now have. For some reason, it's really cool to listen to what you think taking into account the experience you have, and the sheer amount of stories you worked on. Great job as always.
I love how Kurt just walked into a painting that was actually a portal to another dimension, then explored a freezing, ancient, alien landscape...however, salting the stairs is fantastical, superstitious nonsense.
7:20 - I love that line - “catnip to my fantasy loving self.” Just a fantastic line as it’s so simple but conveys the idea perfectly. Sometimes simple is best. It’s also whimsical but not unserious.
@@powdermynuttz7400yes! I wanted LH and DS to do a collab soooo BAD!!! LH was my 2nd go-to, but as of late, they haven’t been uploading as much as they used too, and I’m getting really tired of just one type stories lately,the “I was left a set of rules” etc..and remakes of ones I’ve seen and heard. I haven’t seen any really good stories there the past month or two…
I’ve been on a DS binge lately, tried to go back to LH last night and just couldn’t do it. Just went to Ronnie’s oldest stuff again since I kinda forgot the stories. Used to like LH a lot tho. Also sad that he shows himself now, kinda ruins the mystique for me personally.
I've been listening for years now and I feel like part of the family. You're my favorite narrator along with Romnexx. It's nice to hear her voice in your narrations. Congrats on the milestone of 700K. You deserve a million.
I just clicked this when it popped up on my feed, and could immediately tell, stylistically, that it was a piece from Dopabeane. She’s, by far, my favorite author that you narrate- extraordinary at building atmosphere and setting a mood, underneath the story itself, which are consistently and profoundly creative.
This story definitely gave me Lovecraftian vibes, a genre I absolutely love, so definitely more stories with this type of vibe. It's hard to tell these type of stories in a really good way but you always deliver them in the best way possible. Thank you Ronnie, I love your narrations and have been listening for years. Your still the best narrator here on YT in my opinion.
Ive recently found you maybe in the past 4 months and I’ve watched your videos everyday to the point that I’m watching your videos from 4-5 years ago. Your passion for these stories changed the way I see things. I’m constantly showing people your channel because I know your videos deserves to be listened to. Thank you❤
RIght there with you. Started the journey last year. I've gone through the majority of the stories that interest me. I keep saying I was ruined finding him first and then other narrators. I can only listen to two pages, and anyone that works with them. Makes my work days go so much faster!
welcome to the community, I don't think that any of us have missed a video, when i found him i watched it ALL and now if i was asked 1000 times to pick which RUclipsr uploads I would pick him every single one
Lol if you see my comments say hi! I visit old stories all the time. Do you have a personal favorite yet? I have a handful you'll see me comment every other month for about 6 years 😅
Man!! What a beautifully written story!! Your work, as well as TJ and Rom , were performed so well!! And with you guys, it truly is a performance, instead of a narration, which is what makes your work the experience that it os...and your fans know and appreciate it..i can never thank you enough Ronnie...for being who you are snd for your hustle to bring that work to us! You have been on such a grind lately...i can barely contain my excitement each time i see a new upload. Thank you, brother. I will forever be grateful. Your little Insomniac
@@mortenandersen6108after reading your comment I pictured a huge swathe of groupies, producers,paparazzi,etc just take our boy and lift him up over our heads and go running off with him, while he’s screaming “NOOoOoooOoo” 😂 😂😂
@@maureenjossick429 Haha. Not really what I had in mind, but that would be just as horrible! Ron needs to stay here and keep delivering exceptional narrated stories for as long as he finds joy doing it!
This should be really good. When I was going through some really dark thoughts I started watching decomp cleaning videos and believe me that stuff helped me not want to leave a mess for the people I love lol. Those videos are still a bit of a dark fascination for me so seeing them and my love for creepypastas having a mash-up is satisfying af :) Congrats on the milestone too it's been great seeing your channel grow over the years
So I learned your name.... Ronnie, I'm having a crappy day and I see that you just dropped an hour-and-a-half video..... this makes my day better. Many thanks. I'll come back when the story is over and leave my review attached to this comment. I don't know if you end up seeing those after-the-fact but they are here and they are honest. Best wishes
So this was like a horrifying LSD trip from when I was younger it kind of went off the rails and lost me I'm not going to lie it was not my favorite story but it was very creative and it was certainly entertaining
ive loved listening to scary stories for years, but somnium is the best storyteller ive come across. youve helped me reignite my love for these stories
This one is nuts, so many details it was playing in my head like a movie while I was listening. Sometimes I wish some of these stories where movies or games.
Hey Ron, I been sick in bed today so thanks for making the day a lil better with a vid! Also any update on “my friend has been living in an alternate reality”? So excited for your version of that story.
Definitely one of the more nightmare fuel filled stories. I don't normally get bothered with the descriptions of gore, and gross stuff, but dammit if this didn't play on my own Trypophobia and then amplify it. Burn it!!! Burn it with fire!!!! Well done as usual sir, and of course the sound design always makes it wore (better). Can't wait for the next one.
I am assuming without looking it up that trypophobia is fear of tripe or guts? If so, I squirm at the thought of brains or intestines being exposed. I can’t say I got that from this though. You must have something extra.😊
You’ve come such a long way and you basically become a legend. Your voice still doesn’t waver. The pure effort you put in is parallel to none. I don’t know what else to say but thank you the memories and emotions you have shared with me through my favorite genre, horror, is purely beautiful and epic.
Amazing story and narration. So imaginative! I wish i had the painting/portal. Also id love to find out what was laughing and partying behind the locked door lol. 10/10
Eh... Takes more to put me off my food. (Growing up with a brother very interested in all kinds of insects and creepy critters helped to visually desensitize me.)
This was great. I think the title drastically undersells it as it's really clickbaity, whereas the story itself is deep, interesting and powerful. The boss not completely freaking out at the portal-painting was a bit of foreshadowing but nicely done, I thought he'd be looking to turn a profit out of it somehow. Refreshing to get into the action quickly rather than a protracted build-up, and a relentless ride of batshit insanity from then on. Seriously, the pace is impressive, it barely gives you chance to process one scene before barrelling into the next. More like this please!
I look so forward to listening to this channel, my mom said as a child they use to listen to ppl tell stories on the radio, and I use to think that was boring, but now that I watch you channel, it all makes sense, now I understand because your voice is soothing, and the stories you tell are fascinating.✨
I love you and your channel. Since 2.1k subs. I’ve been here. And I feel the exact same way. You make beautiful art and your compositions hit me deep in the soul unlike other horror narrators who use reused tracks. The ambience the nostalgia the feeling your creations give are much more sincere and magical than others. Thanks Ronnie.
As someone who works from home, I tend to throw on random RUclips videos in the background while I work, and spooky story narrations are some of my favorites. Your channel appeared in my recommended feed the other day and I'm incredibly glad it did, because the quality is just wonderful. You've got a great narration voice, and having other people narrate in some of the stories too really elevates the mood! Keep up the great work!
I have been an avid listener since 2018, stumbling upon a creepy forest story of flesh gaits and a not so right dog named "sandy". Your narrations are amazingly put together. You have been gifted a voice that is phenomenal, with emotion and music tgat pitches a perfect trifecta. This story was grotesquely beautiful. It put me into mind of the movie annihilation. I enjoy your thoughts at the end. I also enjoy when the writers appear in the comments and give their inspiration or mentions of a part 2. Thank you to the writer(s) for this body horror masterpiece.
Thanks Ronnie,I have trypophobia and this story gave me goosebumps all over. Loved the description of the storie and it gave me a change to work on my phobia again. Once again,love your narrations
What a gift of verbal illustration this author has. Good lord this writing is just incredible! Your (and teams) narration is also perfectly executed. Thank you for all your efforts this story is truly a treat.
The music is GORGEOUS and your narration is absolutely top notch as always!! Your talent is consistently astounding and we definitely thank you for all the hard work you have always put into your production!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I feel like this is the one time where it seems like the production struggled to keep up with the story. That is NOT a narrative misstep, but because this story was doing the absolute MOST. Portal painting, strange creatures, gatekeeper, gods, plot twist, doppelganger, infection, counter plot twist, body horror, dimensions bending, captured and naked surprise dead girl, creature dead but not really.....the scene and tone switched in a jarring instant soooo many times, the sound design just couldn't possibly keep up. Any one of those elements could have been omitted from the story and been fine, OR this could have been multiple stories in a shared universe. I feel like our brains are tasked to imagine and retain so many completely foreign elements that on their own do very little to distinguish this story from so many other weird takes. Halfway through, I just turned my brain off and listened to the soothing tone of your narration and the exquisite music. Even the characters seemed to become bored with reacting to otherworldly experiences by the time of the foot snake, dead lady and 5 eyed, suddenly huge taxidermy monster. It...was a LOT. But, you and your insanely talented cast and creativity still managed to bring it to vivid life, and I would LOVE to see this as a movie, in it's entirety, with THIS cast and THIS music! As an audio story, it just requires too much suspension of disbelief and mental world building. Excellent work from all involved!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Absolutely thrilled I have something to listen to while cleaning, you always post at the right time 😊 maybe this story will make my cleaning seem like a cakewalk :P
I'm just now coming back and binging many of the stories you've narrated, and boy did I miss this. I've now got what feels like a full day's worth of stories to listen to. Glad to be back!
The way this story ended, I wonder if we'll get a second part. It really felt like there's going to be a fight between Chris and Kurt. I also wonder if every care taker was once human. I really enjoyed your narrating in the story as Somnium! The sounds were weird and disgusting, the music made it creepy along with the extra sounds.
I wondered that too, and I could be completely wrong but it seems like the 'Caretakers' and other 'not evil' creatures of that world want to keep people in their 'correct' and 'pure' form. Like, they don't want them to be mutated/changed/ full of parasites. I believe the reason his wife failed as a caretaker is because she got parasites or some similar thing that created the doppelganger. The creatures that helped the main character clearly did not like the parasites or mutations happening and kept trying to fix the humans. Idk. I wonder if the 'wife' he thought he saw inside the painting world was even his wife, and not just the parasites liking like her talking. I could be completely wrong about all of it. A part 2 would be awesome to find out.
I am a very recent subscriber and from what I have seen so far, this channel is a gold mine of creepy pastas like every video that the channel uploads, its an instant hit or should be a hit. I have heard only about 5 to 6 stories but I can already tell that he is very passionate about his channel and each video that he uploads are made with passion and dedication. Coupled with the facts that he is very responsive to his audience, in the comments, made him the no. 1 creepy-pasta channel to go to (with close second being LightHouse Horror). I wish that you prosper in this career and have a good life. (One question: will you collaborate with LHH?)
Ayy the man himself replied! Anyways I forgot to mention about the immaculate soundtrack you produce, that is honestly great, and the opinions you share at the end of the video is amazing and, I personally believe that more creepy-pasta youtubers should do it. It genuinely feels…. how do I explain it.. humane like a normal person giving their thoughts and opinions on a subject rather than a robot reading the stories; giving the video more depth. Well I went on a tangent, anyways I thank you for your great narrations and I really can’t wait for the collab. Cheers
I got so excited seeing new content (new for me, dont know how i missed this one) that I jumped up and down with giddiness lol Ive seen EVERY SINGLE VIDEO on your channel, and rewatch them often. But when a new long story pops up on my notifications I get so happy I almost cant contain it. This story was hauntingly beautifully and grotesque and your narration had me enraptured. Thank you love, for all that you do. ❤ You're by far my favorite youtuber Ronnie! ❤
I absolutely love this channel, my husband showed me you about a year ago and i must say i dont think ill ever get enough of your narration. Rock on man 🤘🏻, keep at it.
You've made my deployment so much easier to deal with when going to sleep it sucks how hard you work for these videos and we just blow through it in an hour or 2. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
Dark somnium your such a great story teller, musician, and much more I love everything about your content, bad trip, the cave, and and in the woods I love, I could mention atleast another 10 of my favourites🎉🎉keep doing what you do best, WE APPRECIATE YOU❤
Your honestly the best narrator ever I’m so happy I found this channel over two years ago and since then I’ve listened to every single episode released, listening to you really makes my job fly by thank you
crazy how thousands of people are listening to this story, still within the first 15 minutes, anyways, the story is great so far, and I hope the rest of your week is great!
Amazing work as always - I gotta say though - As calming and wonderful as your voice is, I couldn't finish the story - the one thing I cannot handle is things crawling under the skin. And the descriptions around 1:06:00 - full on made me start trippin' out (I have it paused while typing this and it feels like things are crawling up and down my back). I honestly want to congratulate you for actually making me have to stop a creepypasta. That literally never happened before just now lol and I've been reading them since I was a small child. I'm not saying this to be negative, actually quite the opposite - I'm honestly impressed you managed to do that. I consider it an ode to your passion to the craft. You are honestly underrated and I hope you continue to be amazing - so much love!
Guys, this has nothing to do with the video, but I'm in the army and 2 soldiers have killed themselves this past 2 weeks, one of them was in my barracks building. I don't know if any of you guys are religious but please pray for them and please check in on your friends and family, wether or not they're military, and if you are suffering this kind of plight right now, please trun to someone close to you.
This is the perfect story for the task I’m doing. Currently deep cleaning the upstairs of my fiancé and I’s second home that was a hoarder house when we bought it and are making into a rental house. Edit: That’s not what’s happening here lol just a lot of cat pee 🤣
Thank you so much! You have been working your tail off, and I appreciate it so much. Your narrations help me battle my insomnia, granted I don't always get to listen to the whole story, but I do get some much needed rest. And I usually do go back and listen to the whole story, so from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU
This story was so good. I love the fantasy aspect and the descriptions are written so beautifully you can really picture the scenes. Thank you for choosing this one!!
Wow just wow. I never thought I would hear this story again, I first heard this story when Dr.creepin narrated it years ago. I was on a bus ride from Michigan to texas when it was uploaded and I lost myself in the story during the ride, its really nice to hear it again and this time it’s even better with the amount of effort you put into it
Been listening to your stories for awhile now, and I’ve always loved your intonation and tone you use. It’s so perfect for these stories. I also loved how genuinely unnerving this one was!
BROO this channel is amazing I’m obsessed! The stories are so detailed and lively! And can we talk about the sound design and storytelling??? Just BEAUTIFUL I used to hate this channel because of how scared it made me feel now I can’t get enough it’s perfect absolutely amazing.just pure genius 😤👌
Excited to listen to this one, gonna have to wait til later though since I'm halfway through NFC lol, spent all last night rewatching all of the sturgeon series. Cheers Ronnie B)
I thoroughly enjoyed the bizarre and grotesque twists and turns this story took. I could see the house, parasites, foliage, as well as all the different characters and scenery very clearly in my mind.
I hope you like this story! Check out some other ones ive done by this author here: ruclips.net/p/PL3o9RgvGoFK1UHfRIHA5cKAGmd5ADagms
I just posted a new song on my music channel! ruclips.net/video/fBa4hLn2_PY/видео.html
Daddy dark! I mean uhhhh, thanks for posting so often g. Always look forward to your narrations!
more to come!
Its nice but I don't care for cliff hangers
What song did you use for the ethereal type of singing?
The story narration is amazing, and I loved the music at 1:04:00, can I please have the name of the track
Dude, I just want to say thank you. I started a new job about 7 months ago that has me driving hours on end, and seeing new stories that are hour+ always gets me excited. Been a subscriber for a few months now but wanted to comment my appreciation since I’m here so early. You make my job much less monotonous and boring. Thank you.

Check out the one about the bartender that serves drinks for stories if you haven’t already. Great stuff

Same I was listening in bed with my eyes closed ... no nap after that
Me too 😖😰
im taking a break now at 1:07:00..... its almost too descriptive LOL

I love when these make me pause the story and go OH EW out loud, the sound design was impeccable as always!!
16 Minutes in and I can already tell this is going To make my afternoon.
Thank you Boss, for once again making a gem. Your work is truly appreciated.
Glad you enjoy it!
I love your voice, I play these readings both while I work in my shop and while I’m ride home.
Your discord is wonderful.
Thank you for what you do
Wow, thank you!
One of the best I've heard so far. I loved it.
Don’t listen to this until you finish eating if you choose to listen while enjoying some food
I wish I saw this before eating my pizza rolls
Felt like I was eating those parasites
@@Haggartif it makes you feel better those parasites would have more protein
Eh... Takes more to put me off my food. (Growing up with a brother very interested in all kinds of insects and creepy critters helped to visually desensitize me.)
This was great. I think the title drastically undersells it as it's really clickbaity, whereas the story itself is deep, interesting and powerful. The boss not completely freaking out at the portal-painting was a bit of foreshadowing but nicely done, I thought he'd be looking to turn a profit out of it somehow. Refreshing to get into the action quickly rather than a protracted build-up, and a relentless ride of batshit insanity from then on. Seriously, the pace is impressive, it barely gives you chance to process one scene before barrelling into the next. More like this please!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And yeah dopebean is an awesome writer
I look so forward to listening to this channel, my mom said as a child they use to listen to ppl tell stories on the radio, and I use to think that was boring, but now that I watch you channel, it all makes sense, now I understand because your voice is soothing, and the stories you tell are fascinating.✨
I love you and your channel. Since 2.1k subs. I’ve been here. And I feel the exact same way. You make beautiful art and your compositions hit me deep in the soul unlike other horror narrators who use reused tracks. The ambience the nostalgia the feeling your creations give are much more sincere and magical than others. Thanks Ronnie.
Please do more stories like this, the cosmic horror stuff is always so haunting
Wow. I haven't even listened yet, but it's another Dopabeane story. Last one was phenomenal and I don't doubt this'll be too.
i love her stories :)
@@Darksomnium Same. So surreal and abstract yet still draws you in with how relatable it is
As someone who works from home, I tend to throw on random RUclips videos in the background while I work, and spooky story narrations are some of my favorites. Your channel appeared in my recommended feed the other day and I'm incredibly glad it did, because the quality is just wonderful. You've got a great narration voice, and having other people narrate in some of the stories too really elevates the mood! Keep up the great work!
Perfect timing again! On the road and having a sweet treat on the way. What can I ask for more?
Thanks,DarkSomnium!
I have been an avid listener since 2018, stumbling upon a creepy forest story of flesh gaits and a not so right dog named "sandy". Your narrations are amazingly put together. You have been gifted a voice that is phenomenal, with emotion and music tgat pitches a perfect trifecta. This story was grotesquely beautiful. It put me into mind of the movie annihilation. I enjoy your thoughts at the end. I also enjoy when the writers appear in the comments and give their inspiration or mentions of a part 2. Thank you to the writer(s) for this body horror masterpiece.
Excellent narration as usual
Glad you enjoyed it
Great story to add! I heard this one years ago on Dr Creepen. Great to hear a new take.
Thanks for listening! dr creepen is awesome!
Thanks Ronnie,I have trypophobia and this story gave me goosebumps all over. Loved the description of the storie and it gave me a change to work on my phobia again. Once again,love your narrations
What a gift of verbal illustration this author has. Good lord this writing is just incredible! Your (and teams) narration is also perfectly executed. Thank you for all your efforts this story is truly a treat.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Long form videos will always be my favorite, thank you Dark ❤
The music is GORGEOUS and your narration is absolutely top notch as always!! Your talent is consistently astounding and we definitely thank you for all the hard work you have always put into your production!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I feel like this is the one time where it seems like the production struggled to keep up with the story. That is NOT a narrative misstep, but because this story was doing the absolute MOST. Portal painting, strange creatures, gatekeeper, gods, plot twist, doppelganger, infection, counter plot twist, body horror, dimensions bending, captured and naked surprise dead girl, creature dead but not really.....the scene and tone switched in a jarring instant soooo many times, the sound design just couldn't possibly keep up. Any one of those elements could have been omitted from the story and been fine, OR this could have been multiple stories in a shared universe. I feel like our brains are tasked to imagine and retain so many completely foreign elements that on their own do very little to distinguish this story from so many other weird takes. Halfway through, I just turned my brain off and listened to the soothing tone of your narration and the exquisite music. Even the characters seemed to become bored with reacting to otherworldly experiences by the time of the foot snake, dead lady and 5 eyed, suddenly huge taxidermy monster. It...was a LOT.
But, you and your insanely talented cast and creativity still managed to bring it to vivid life, and I would LOVE to see this as a movie, in it's entirety, with THIS cast and THIS music!
As an audio story, it just requires too much suspension of disbelief and mental world building.
Excellent work from all involved!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Absolutely thrilled I have something to listen to while cleaning, you always post at the right time 😊 maybe this story will make my cleaning seem like a cakewalk :P
You are so welcome!
Me: Time to get up and start prepping for work
-new Dark Somnium video drops-
Me: Work can wait.
haha xD
"Posted 47 minutes ago." Its rare that I catch these uploads so quickly and also have time to listen, I checked youtube at the perfect time today!
Glad you could come by!
Geeeeez man, THIS is how you do body horror. Dang. Great reading on this one, as always
I'm just now coming back and binging many of the stories you've narrated, and boy did I miss this.
I've now got what feels like a full day's worth of stories to listen to.
Glad to be back!
The way this story ended, I wonder if we'll get a second part. It really felt like there's going to be a fight between Chris and Kurt. I also wonder if every care taker was once human. I really enjoyed your narrating in the story as Somnium! The sounds were weird and disgusting, the music made it creepy along with the extra sounds.
I wondered that too, and I could be completely wrong but it seems like the 'Caretakers' and other 'not evil' creatures of that world want to keep people in their 'correct' and 'pure' form. Like, they don't want them to be mutated/changed/ full of parasites. I believe the reason his wife failed as a caretaker is because she got parasites or some similar thing that created the doppelganger. The creatures that helped the main character clearly did not like the parasites or mutations happening and kept trying to fix the humans. Idk. I wonder if the 'wife' he thought he saw inside the painting world was even his wife, and not just the parasites liking like her talking. I could be completely wrong about all of it. A part 2 would be awesome to find out.
I remember this one from years ago im glad your doing the full story great job brother
I am a very recent subscriber and from what I have seen so far, this channel is a gold mine of creepy pastas like every video that the channel uploads, its an instant hit or should be a hit. I have heard only about 5 to 6 stories but I can already tell that he is very passionate about his channel and each video that he uploads are made with passion and dedication.
Coupled with the facts that he is very responsive to his audience, in the comments, made him the no. 1 creepy-pasta channel to go to (with close second being LightHouse Horror). I wish that you prosper in this career and have a good life. (One question: will you collaborate with LHH?)
Thank you so much, I'm honored! And yeah I'd love to colab with lighthouse someday!
Ayy the man himself replied! Anyways I forgot to mention about the immaculate soundtrack you produce, that is honestly great, and the opinions you share at the end of the video is amazing and, I personally believe that more creepy-pasta youtubers should do it. It genuinely feels…. how do I explain it.. humane like a normal person giving their thoughts and opinions on a subject rather than a robot reading the stories; giving the video more depth.
Well I went on a tangent, anyways I thank you for your great narrations and I really can’t wait for the collab. Cheers
I got so excited seeing new content (new for me, dont know how i missed this one) that I jumped up and down with giddiness lol Ive seen EVERY SINGLE VIDEO on your channel, and rewatch them often. But when a new long story pops up on my notifications I get so happy I almost cant contain it. This story was hauntingly beautifully and grotesque and your narration had me enraptured. Thank you love, for all that you do. ❤ You're by far my favorite youtuber Ronnie! ❤
I absolutely love this channel, my husband showed me you about a year ago and i must say i dont think ill ever get enough of your narration.
Rock on man 🤘🏻, keep at it.
Congrats on 700k!
You've made my deployment so much easier to deal with when going to sleep it sucks how hard you work for these videos and we just blow through it in an hour or 2. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
Thank you for defending democracy
@@hicknopunklol, you'll be fighting him in the streets to reclaim democracy soon
WOOOO never been this early before! Can already tell that this is gonna conjure some weird dreams. Thank you for the content!
You guys narrated the hell out of this story! Thank you all!
The description on this story is insane 😭, but it adds to the story and I love it ❤🙏
Hoarder houses are a terrifying sight to behold by itself. Jokes aside, yet another great story and great narration video.
Fantastic as always!
Dark somnium your such a great story teller, musician, and much more I love everything about your content, bad trip, the cave, and and in the woods I love, I could mention atleast another 10 of my favourites🎉🎉keep doing what you do best, WE APPRECIATE YOU❤
Wow, thank you! :)
Your honestly the best narrator ever I’m so happy I found this channel over two years ago and since then I’ve listened to every single episode released, listening to you really makes my job fly by thank you
crazy how thousands of people are listening to this story, still within the first 15 minutes, anyways, the story is great so far, and I hope the rest of your week is great!
ikr?! i never expected the channel to get this big :O
Thanks!
Ty!
Wait the worst thing that could happen to me? To me that is having your skin removed by a disc sander which has rock salt glued to the sand paper.
Amazing work as always - I gotta say though - As calming and wonderful as your voice is, I couldn't finish the story - the one thing I cannot handle is things crawling under the skin. And the descriptions around 1:06:00 - full on made me start trippin' out (I have it paused while typing this and it feels like things are crawling up and down my back). I honestly want to congratulate you for actually making me have to stop a creepypasta. That literally never happened before just now lol and I've been reading them since I was a small child. I'm not saying this to be negative, actually quite the opposite - I'm honestly impressed you managed to do that. I consider it an ode to your passion to the craft. You are honestly underrated and I hope you continue to be amazing - so much love!
Guys, this has nothing to do with the video, but I'm in the army and 2 soldiers have killed themselves this past 2 weeks, one of them was in my barracks building. I don't know if any of you guys are religious but please pray for them and please check in on your friends and family, wether or not they're military, and if you are suffering this kind of plight right now, please trun to someone close to you.
I’m sorry no one has interacted with your post at all. I’m praying for their families and friends!
Great job! Loved it.
Bro this was probably one of the grosses stories youve done to date🤢! Awesome job! I squirmed pretty hard towards the end😂
>:D
Nice just in time for work. Thanks for the upload, mate!
No problem 👍
Another great story! Personally I would love more skinwalker/missing 411 type stories in the woods but honestly anything you put out is awesome 😁👍
Thanks!
This is the perfect story for the task I’m doing. Currently deep cleaning the upstairs of my fiancé and I’s second home that was a hoarder house when we bought it and are making into a rental house.
Edit: That’s not what’s happening here lol just a lot of cat pee 🤣
Thank you so much! You have been working your tail off, and I appreciate it so much. Your narrations help me battle my insomnia, granted I don't always get to listen to the whole story, but I do get some much needed rest. And I usually do go back and listen to the whole story, so from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU
This story was so good. I love the fantasy aspect and the descriptions are written so beautifully you can really picture the scenes. Thank you for choosing this one!!
24:43" where the wild things are " what throw back good choice 🙂
Wow just wow. I never thought I would hear this story again, I first heard this story when Dr.creepin narrated it years ago. I was on a bus ride from Michigan to texas when it was uploaded and I lost myself in the story during the ride, its really nice to hear it again and this time it’s even better with the amount of effort you put into it
Thanks for listening! Dr creepen is awesome!
That was graphic, obscene, and ripe with atmospheric horror and disgust. 11/10
So happy to see you doing this one! It is one of my all time favorites and i know wed talked about it a good while back, glad you got it done!
Hope you enjoy it!
@@Darksomnium absolutely did!
Been listening to your stories for awhile now, and I’ve always loved your intonation and tone you use. It’s so perfect for these stories.
I also loved how genuinely unnerving this one was!
Thank you so much!
The stories you put out are the most original, well thought out and put together nicely. I dig it. Keep up the good work duder! And thank you!!
This channel has revived my love for creepypastas! Nothing beats listening to this past midnight
That was good thanks a lot congratulations on the 700k subs!!!!
Thanks a million!
It always brightens my day whenever I see an upload from this guy! Thank you again!
Glad to hear that!
BROO this channel is amazing I’m obsessed! The stories are so detailed and lively! And can we talk about the sound design and storytelling??? Just BEAUTIFUL I used to hate this channel because of how scared it made me feel now I can’t get enough it’s perfect absolutely amazing.just pure genius 😤👌
Bless for the story always appreciated
Always a pleasure to hear your voice and creepy words. Thank you. God bless you.
Thanks for listening :)
@@Darksomnium Always brother.

Excited to listen to this one, gonna have to wait til later though since I'm halfway through NFC lol, spent all last night rewatching all of the sturgeon series. Cheers Ronnie B)
Hope you enjoy it!
Certainly my favorite narrator. Dude tells some good stories and has a calming voice
I thoroughly enjoyed the bizarre and grotesque twists and turns this story took. I could see the house, parasites, foliage, as well as all the different characters and scenery very clearly in my mind.
I really appreciate the fresh stories ! I listen every single night. You have become my favorite channel!
This story was wretchingly horrifying.
A damn good story.
