Hey everyone! I hope you have a great weekend! I included my thoughts of my last video in this one since i messed up and forgot to include them in that video haha. Remember to like and share (if you want to)
It's like are these comments made from real live human beings or are you all just bots "great story blAh blah f****** blah is all you simpletons say does no1 care that there stories are based on true events or am I the only one smart & curious enough to ask who or where did the narrator purchase these events I wish the algorithm of the comments was more towards questioning the narrator where he got these events from using different names obviously but I creeply know these stories are all true wake up you brainwashed num nums 🤦🏾♂️🙏
Hey, its the author here!! Thank you for giving the time to my little story. It was my first on the site, and while its a bit rough i think i got better over time. To address a couple questions people had, Ribbons county and Weinwick don't exist. This story is just one of a few thats I've written that take place there. Also methadone was NOT administered through an IV in the 80s. That was inaccurate, and i apologize. I ment to check it with my brother who had been an addict for a long time, but he passed away before i could talk to him about it. This story is kind of about a wierd imaginary version of him.
I honestly really like hearing your thoughts at the end of a video. I don't know the full process but I'm sure you went over every single line of text almost as much as the original author so hearing your take on the stories you narrate is always very pleasant and enlightening. It also feels like a nice way to come back down to earth after being envelopped in intriguing stories, good juxtaposition imo. Thank you as always for sharing these glorious tales! Your efforts are deeply appreciated!
It’s nice to hear a story that deals somewhat with addiction. Being a recovered addict myself, it’s something that brings me into the story a bit more. Rehabs don’t keep patients locked in cells and methadone isn’t decreased so quickly either. I’m fact, it takes weeks if not months for the to ramp you up to a dose that keeps you stable and generally folks are on it for a year or more. That said, I really enjoyed this story.
every wheres different, i was a week balancing my dose and each week they wanted me higher and higher m, im already on 70mls so i keep refusing, 72hours without a dose u be bedbound with agony unable to move only scream in agony from the stomach cramps, the body trying to force out a poop that doesn't exist, the bowls keep contracting in agonizing cramps at 72hrs the feeling of doom is so powerful that death feels like a happy realise, that sense of depression homlessness emptyness is usually why ppl relapse, the mental and physical pain is so unbreable u do anything to escape it, anything to feel normal again
For the description of the monster, it was confusing for me at first. But I listened it again and got the details. I think it’s a giant spider. A giant spider hatched out of the egg from within the sunken church. This story sounds creepy and oozy at the same time. It’s good.
I did get the impression that it was a spider, but I didn't think it was hatching. Based off the description of how all the webs centered toward a dark hole in the corner, I figured it was something more along the lines of a funnelweb spider. I think the low tune he heard was the webs vibrating, causing the spider to wake up from a previously dormant state. The fact that it's covered in mold kind of says to me that it's very old, and not something newborn.
@@Akabinxstar yeah it's a fairly decent spooky spider story like legit scary vibes and not just "yuck spider" like a majority of horror involving spiders is
@@mentkansleyunitedstatesgov6364 I dunno, they recur enough in creepypastas to the point of being played out. Not as much as skinwalkers or dogmen, but enough that the reveal is a bit of a letdown. Which is kind of a shame. As a former arachnophobe, spiders are frankly over-hyped. Improbable size aside, they're functionally just animals, in this case little different from an extra mobile grizzly bear. And dangerous animals on their own lack that extra _oomph_ needed to proceed from unfortunate news report to genuinely chilling. Though, to this particular story's credit, the high detail of the description of the crawler's lair helped it over the hump.
This story for me made me wonder are all people just judgemental of similar patients? The way the story was told feels so reflective of mentally unsound patients trying to tell their stories while doctors and others brush them off. How are we to know how true they really are? Also really good this doctor was kind enough to trust him. It was a simple monster story but really symbolises real life.
Not curiosity killed the cat, but curiosity killed the whole family :,) I like the arrangement of this story as well. It fits the disorganization of thought, almost as a stream of consciousness
@@ooffs_artflowsThe MC was the character going through the therapy. It’s implied toward the end of the story both by the news reports and the letter to his grandma that he went back to the church with a shotgun, two handguns, and 2 jugs of gasoline. The forest fire is started by him burning down the church, presumably killing him in the process. He says in the note to his aunt that the missing children reports only started happening after his auntie takes him in, which occurred after he goes to the church. This may imply that he had woke up whatever lived inside when he went in there.
I'm so glad your channel has been growing rapidly as of recently. Long time viewer/listener these stories get me through super long days of work or just give me something to marvel over when I have spare time to relax on weekends. I'm glad you got the long awaited attention you deserve. ❤
Man!! That was a well written story!! Wow!! You certainly know how to pick them!! Your performance was nothing less than stellar! Your voice just lends itself to these kinds of examination of the mind...the dual narrators also lent an air of unique perspective. I was really impressed...always a roller coaster of deciding how the ending played out... deciding whether you would rather have heard it, or letting your mind play it out. I guess for me, id rather hear you read it... your stories are never quite long enough . Thank you, Ronnie. Your little Insomniac.
Dark, seriously never change. This is prime RUclips creepy narration at its finest. I know I’m a constant visitor, but my only criticism is WHERE IS THE NEXT INSTALLMENT OF THE BOOK or did that get scrapped? The first one was sooooooo good!!! Thanks for all this unreal content, even my mom enjoys your stories and she prefers channels like MrBallen or ChubbyEmu if I ever show her anything from this platform
Idk if you saw my comment on your community post but my boyfriend and I have loved your videos for years!! Thank you so much - and the progress you've made is so impressive!
At work and just hopped on to find something to listen to and I’m just absolutely stoked that one of my favorite narrators just uploaded! Hell yeah! The music in this one and The Ritual of The Alabaster Angel is absolutely and hauntingly beautiful. It’s like melancholic and beautiful and I’m absolutely blown away by your talent.
So exceptionally powerful is this story, that for myself its packed one f*ck of a wallop ! I can personally relate to this story in that when something truly traumatic happens while one is still young and impressionable, the odds are good that it will f*ck you up for life ! A friend of mine died in front of me when we were both 14yrs old. We we sniffing *** (a common aerosol cooking spray) merely by chance, I too did not die that day -though I’m now just shy of 61, there have been many a day since then I felt it should have been me. When my friend died, there were 4 or 5 other young teens who also died within a 2 month period that yr. Thankfully, I did not turn to to hard drugs or booze. The psychological effects of survives guilt brings to me more than mere tears some 46yrs later for naught more the telling of it. An exceptionally powerful story that packs one f*ck of a wallop.
I'm just at the point of the story where MC is opening up. It reminded me a bit of myself. You are amazing Somnium; I love all your work and how much love goes into it. You have a gifted voice. Thank you so much for what you do, it make a difference in all our lives ❤
Such a great feeling to see a new upload after having had just finished rewatching another one of your vids. I love your narrations and rewatch them often as well. Loved the book(your audible narration) as well! Keep up the good work and being awesome 🙂!
Love this story. There's something rotten going on in Ribbons county. Putting aside the the past cases of missing children (that seem to have been willfully ignored), for there to even be talk on denying him a gravestone at the cemetery smells fishy.
Boy have I been missing out! I usually listen through my phone or iPad speakers. But this time I’m using my headphones and when that first roll of thunder sounded I was checking the sky cause it just sounded so real. You are truly my favorite narrator. You put so into every story you do. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Most sound effects really get under your skin when using headphones. Especially when Ronnie edits f.e. footsteps so it sounds like someone is walking around behind you. *shudder Gets me every time.
When the story described how the mom was hanging from the tree by fine long wires and how she was sucked dry, I immediately was like oh that’s how a spider eats
Can't wait to listen to this tonight! You are an awesome narrator and a massive fan of your channel! I hope to be a half decent narrator myself one day.
Enjoy the Coheed show, one of the most satisfying shows I've seen of theirs. I also love your thought bits. As someone who writes it I always love to know what readers think - but performers? That's a whole 'nother level. Amazing as always. Thank you!
Thank you for all the hard work and frequent posts. This channel is the best horror stories channel on RUclips by far they help get me through long drives and house chores
Wow this is the second time I can't sleep, came to check the channel and found a new vid. Loved the last one, though this time the genre is much more fascinating to me. But always appreciate your high quality work sominium! Have a great day/night!
I heard a story recently that you might enjoy reading and narrating, if you haven't already. "Concrete Heaven". Really seemed like your kind of story. Can't wait to hear this one! Your one of my favorites, and I love the kind of stories you do.
13 seconds ago man am i glad that i happened to open RUclips at the exact time a new video dropped to get lost in, thank you for the immersive entertainment :)
Eh, only shoveled any real horror in at the end, only for a stereotypical “main character knocks out for some reason, only to wake up in the hospital” bit to play out.
Ive really been missing the monster/cryptid genre videos, the sound effects and description you use is always toe curling, id love to have some new videos on them!
So i am in love with your narrations Somnium, i have been listening consistently for around 4 years I want to say? Im pretty sure ive listened to almost every single upload youve put out except for the settlement stories. You’re by far one of the most influential people in my life. Ive never had something stick long with me, much less something I have an urge to return to, and youve been that with your narrations. With stories like this you bring an emotion to me that I very rarely feel. You make me fall in love with characters, to listen at the edge of my seat for the conclusion, HELL YOUR NARRATION OF THE “I run a bar that serves one of a kind drinks” LITERALLY HAS INSPIRED ME TO BECOME A BARTENDER. stories like the girl the universe forgot, left right game, the showers, god they have a grasp on my heart like none other. All of this to say while yes the writers are the heart of the stories that have influenced me life, youre the soul. Thank you somnium, really. Also have you ever considered narrating borrasca?
@@Darksomnium now that was a ride! I was surprised at the writing and pacing in the best way possible. Some people can write an interesting story and give glimpses at a characters. We kind of get what they’re about, fill in the gaps, imagine what their lives are like past the plot, but for them to put Harley front and centre was bold. No creepy ness apart from the none linear timeline as you pointed out. He even says as much that he really doesn’t want to talk about it. It really brought him the extra level that instead of a character filling a role in a plot, he felt like a person, and then your performance and inflections brought him to life. Colour me surprised when I saw I was 20 minutes in and it felt like no time at all. Don’t get me wrong I love a good monster, but material like this really lets you shine and show off what you can do. Eagerly looking forward to the next one
I swear I remember you narrating this before. Crazy Deja Vu. That intro letter sequence feels very very very familiar. Is this a updated version of an old one you did? Either way, I love this. Great work man!
Why are horror folks so wholesome and kind? After hearing the most bone-chilling, nerve wracking stories, I get greeted by the same voice that tormented my mind, now speaking in a much lighter tone, asking what I thought about the video. You’re toying with meeee!!! Should I be scared? Should I smile a little??? Guh? Huh??? ?!?!?!???
MY kind of main character right there. He handled his business on some real nigga shit that's what I like the see. And of course you do an incredible job with the narration. Props to the author for putting so much character in the text, and to you for drawing it out so well.
Yeah, I agree with your opinion on the previous story. Of course many of its elements are also often reflected within politics, but I think the story went a bit deeper than just that. In my opinion, it's more about people becoming blinded by hate, so much so, that they don't even really care why they hate each other, and they don't even really have the ability to consider and examine the others point. It's just "you're wrong, because you're you and you disagree with me, I will not listen to anything you ever say unless you start agreeing with me." Like I said, of course this sort of behaviour can be often seen in politics, but it could also just be a situation between neighbors where they start to annoy each other more and more until eventually every single thing that one of them does will inevitably be annoying for the other, even if it is actually just normal and harmless stuff. For this story, it was a pretty interesting one, like you said, it shows more of the aftermath. Normally in stories you have the characters go though some bad situations but never really learn a lot about how it affects their lives in the long term.
I've been having issues getting myself to eat, and your stuff is helping :) I just got a good amount of food down but felt like shit about it (which I shouldn't obviously), and this is really keeping my mind off it so I don't purge. That was maybe a bit much to say in a random ass youtube comment, but thank you anyway dude.
You can do it! EDs are a bitch to deal with, and you have my sympathies. One random tip I saw in other comment thread on this, was to have 5 or 6 small meals a day, to not overstress your digestive system. The poor thing has to learn all over again… As do you. I wish you the best for your recovery. Treat your body as if it is your baby. Make sure it gets what it needs to be healthy. You can do it. ❤️🩹
@@FireTurkey That’s the beauty of the comment section. There’s all sorts of people here, and you can learn a lot. The trick is to click away if a thread gets toxic, that requires practice. ^^;
So let me get this straight, Nick : Let his brother take ridiculous risks without saying a single word or doing anything to dissuade him in any way despite clearly being aware they should leave Didn't move a muscle or even called out to his brother when he fell through the roof Ran away from both his brother and his dog as soon as he got out without trying to help either Blamed his brother for not bringing the dog back even tho he himself didn't I get that he's a kid too but Nick is definitely in my top 10 people I wouldn't want to be stuck in a dangerous situation with 😂
In your recap at the end of the story, you talk about how you like how the story starts with the effects of the events, then goes on to tell what happened. This reminds me of the classic story Dagon by H.P. Lovecraft. If you haven't already read it, it's a pretty short read (maybe 20 minutes?) and is written in a similar way to this story, so maybe you'd like that as well.
Hey everyone! I hope you have a great weekend! I included my thoughts of my last video in this one since i messed up and forgot to include them in that video haha.

Great story! ❤
Good story, hope to hear more 😊. Sorry about your bro and your loss 😢
I enjoyed it.
The dark somnium is always my go-to. Thank you for being such a good narrator, and thank you for putting so much effort into it.

Agreed 100%
It’s nice to hear a story that deals somewhat with addiction. Being a recovered addict myself, it’s something that brings me into the story a bit more. Rehabs don’t keep patients locked in cells and methadone isn’t decreased so quickly either. I’m fact, it takes weeks if not months for the to ramp you up to a dose that keeps you stable and generally folks are on it for a year or more. That said, I really enjoyed this story.
every wheres different, i was a week balancing my dose and each week they wanted me higher and higher m, im already on 70mls so i keep refusing, 72hours without a dose u be bedbound with agony unable to move only scream in agony from the stomach cramps, the body trying to force out a poop that doesn't exist, the bowls keep contracting in agonizing cramps at 72hrs the feeling of doom is so powerful that death feels like a happy realise, that sense of depression homlessness emptyness is usually why ppl relapse, the mental and physical pain is so unbreable u do anything to escape it, anything to feel normal again
For the description of the monster, it was confusing for me at first. But I listened it again and got the details.
I think it’s a giant spider.
A giant spider hatched out of the egg from within the sunken church.
This story sounds creepy and oozy at the same time. It’s good.
From the way it was described, it reminded of like a hairy brown and black version of waternoose from monsters Inc
Yeah giant spiders were popular in the 90's- early 2000's but they haven't gotten much love in recent years that's why I like this story
I did get the impression that it was a spider, but I didn't think it was hatching. Based off the description of how all the webs centered toward a dark hole in the corner, I figured it was something more along the lines of a funnelweb spider.
I think the low tune he heard was the webs vibrating, causing the spider to wake up from a previously dormant state. The fact that it's covered in mold kind of says to me that it's very old, and not something newborn.
@@Akabinxstar yeah it's a fairly decent spooky spider story like legit scary vibes and not just "yuck spider" like a majority of horror involving spiders is
@@mentkansleyunitedstatesgov6364
I dunno, they recur enough in creepypastas to the point of being played out. Not as much as skinwalkers or dogmen, but enough that the reveal is a bit of a letdown.
Which is kind of a shame. As a former arachnophobe, spiders are frankly over-hyped. Improbable size aside, they're functionally just animals, in this case little different from an extra mobile grizzly bear. And dangerous animals on their own lack that extra _oomph_ needed to proceed from unfortunate news report to genuinely chilling. Though, to this particular story's credit, the high detail of the description of the crawler's lair helped it over the hump.
This story for me made me wonder are all people just judgemental of similar patients? The way the story was told feels so reflective of mentally unsound patients trying to tell their stories while doctors and others brush them off. How are we to know how true they really are? Also really good this doctor was kind enough to trust him. It was a simple monster story but really symbolises real life.
Not curiosity killed the cat, but curiosity killed the whole family :,)
I like the arrangement of this story as well. It fits the disorganization of thought, almost as a stream of consciousness
Wait so is the MC dead? I'm confused 😂 so the monster in the church been eating the kids right?
@@ooffs_artflowsThe MC was the character going through the therapy. It’s implied toward the end of the story both by the news reports and the letter to his grandma that he went back to the church with a shotgun, two handguns, and 2 jugs of gasoline. The forest fire is started by him burning down the church, presumably killing him in the process.
He says in the note to his aunt that the missing children reports only started happening after his auntie takes him in, which occurred after he goes to the church. This may imply that he had woke up whatever lived inside when he went in there.

Im pretty sure ive listened to almost every single upload youve put out except for the settlement stories. You’re by far one of the most influential people in my life. Ive never had something stick long with me, much less something I have an urge to return to, and youve been that with your narrations. With stories like this you bring an emotion to me that I very rarely feel. You make me fall in love with characters, to listen at the edge of my seat for the conclusion, HELL YOUR NARRATION OF THE “I run a bar that serves one of a kind drinks” LITERALLY HAS INSPIRED ME TO BECOME A BARTENDER. stories like the girl the universe forgot, left right game, the showers, god they have a grasp on my heart like none other. All of this to say while yes the writers are the heart of the stories that have influenced me life, youre the soul. Thank you somnium, really. Also have you ever considered narrating borrasca?
Just in time to listen to as I get home and unwind, perfect!
have a good day!
@@Darksomnium now that was a ride! I was surprised at the writing and pacing in the best way possible. Some people can write an interesting story and give glimpses at a characters. We kind of get what they’re about, fill in the gaps, imagine what their lives are like past the plot, but for them to put Harley front and centre was bold. No creepy ness apart from the none linear timeline as you pointed out. He even says as much that he really doesn’t want to talk about it. It really brought him the extra level that instead of a character filling a role in a plot, he felt like a person, and then your performance and inflections brought him to life. Colour me surprised when I saw I was 20 minutes in and it felt like no time at all. Don’t get me wrong I love a good monster, but material like this really lets you shine and show off what you can do. Eagerly looking forward to the next one
One of the few things that makes my workday bearable
Story reminds me of seeing something horrible as a little kid, and getting yelled at and called a liar. It does just shut you down.
Really liked this one. I was worried for a second there that the framing device was tacked on, but I like that it concluded on the note that it did.
Abandoned + forest + dark somnium = great time ❤
your content is literally a drug. you make life seem like a rainy gloomy day. beautiful. i love it.
Thank you for the post ❤ I love your stories
Glad you like them!
Yay! Listening soon!
hey deqster!
I swear I remember you narrating this before. Crazy Deja Vu. That intro letter sequence feels very very very familiar. Is this a updated version of an old one you did?
Either way, I love this. Great work man!
as an ex addict this story hits right home on my 2 year aniversay of being clean
Congratulations!!! 🎈🎊🎉
Why are horror folks so wholesome and kind? After hearing the most bone-chilling, nerve wracking stories, I get greeted by the same voice that tormented my mind, now speaking in a much lighter tone, asking what I thought about the video. You’re toying with meeee!!! Should I be scared? Should I smile a little??? Guh? Huh??? ?!?!?!???
Jaw dropping,neck snapping,keep you on your toes story 💥💥🤯
MY kind of main character right there. He handled his business on some real nigga shit that's what I like the see.
And of course you do an incredible job with the narration. Props to the author for putting so much character in the text, and to you for drawing it out so well.
Good way to pass the time during class, love these stories so much.
im so glad you like them!
I was expecting a new release on Friday, so this is definitely a nice surprise, and a great way to go about the day.
Hope you enjoy it!
@@DarksomniumI did, thanks!
Another great listen as always, and it's awesome to hear that DarkSomnium is a fellow Coheed fan. I hope it's a excellent concert. 😃
Yeah, I agree with your opinion on the previous story. Of course many of its elements are also often reflected within politics, but I think the story went a bit deeper than just that. In my opinion, it's more about people becoming blinded by hate, so much so, that they don't even really care why they hate each other, and they don't even really have the ability to consider and examine the others point. It's just "you're wrong, because you're you and you disagree with me, I will not listen to anything you ever say unless you start agreeing with me." Like I said, of course this sort of behaviour can be often seen in politics, but it could also just be a situation between neighbors where they start to annoy each other more and more until eventually every single thing that one of them does will inevitably be annoying for the other, even if it is actually just normal and harmless stuff.
For this story, it was a pretty interesting one, like you said, it shows more of the aftermath. Normally in stories you have the characters go though some bad situations but never really learn a lot about how it affects their lives in the long term.
God damn it! I wasn't ready to cry this morning.
This was a very entertaining video and I really enjoyed the back and forth between the main character and the doctor.
Having a shitty ass week and can't sleep at 2am here in Australia, glad to have some company in your stories somni
oh dang i hope your week gets better!
Let’s gooooo, you know it’s gonna be a good day when The Dark Somnium posts
B)
I hope for a sequel and a prequel to this story.
glad you enjoyed it!
Loved it. Its mysterious and yet its clear what happened. So exited for the Swat Officer, thank you SO much!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
For some reason, I couldn’t maintain my attention on the actual scary part of the story. I’ll try again another day
Made my day at work 10x better. Thanks again for the great content.
Glad to hear it!
Your putting these out so fast i can bearly keep up!!! Thank you man!!!
Glad you like them!
this one is definitely one of my favorites of this year’s stories.
Bro could read the complete chronological process of photosynthesis and id listen to it on repeat
Great story as always Ronnie, do enjoy your weekend too
Great story telling .The best I have heard in a long time. keep it coming👍😧
"Perfectly ancient" is such a good use of figurative language
Great timing on the first thunder clap just before the character mentions they were scared by thunder. It actually startled me as I was listening. 👌
And here.. we.. go.. DarkSomnium every goddamn night!
You always make my weekends great
tyty :D
I've been having issues getting myself to eat, and your stuff is helping :)
I just got a good amount of food down but felt like shit about it (which I shouldn't obviously), and this is really keeping my mind off it so I don't purge.
That was maybe a bit much to say in a random ass youtube comment, but thank you anyway dude.
I'm so glad the videos can help, I'm proud of you for making progress! Keep up the good work :)
You can do it! EDs are a bitch to deal with, and you have my sympathies. One random tip I saw in other comment thread on this, was to have 5 or 6 small meals a day, to not overstress your digestive system. The poor thing has to learn all over again…
As do you. I wish you the best for your recovery. Treat your body as if it is your baby. Make sure it gets what it needs to be healthy. You can do it. ❤️🩹
Thanks. It means a lot, which feels a bit weird given we're all internet strangers lol but thank you. 💚
@@FireTurkey That’s the beauty of the comment section. There’s all sorts of people here, and you can learn a lot. The trick is to click away if a thread gets toxic, that requires practice. ^^;
I love your narrations always gives me something to listen through work
Glad you like them!
Me and my wife love your vids!!! We fall asleep to them every night
thats awesome! :)
So let me get this straight, Nick :
Let his brother take ridiculous risks without saying a single word or doing anything to dissuade him in any way despite clearly being aware they should leave
Didn't move a muscle or even called out to his brother when he fell through the roof
Ran away from both his brother and his dog as soon as he got out without trying to help either
Blamed his brother for not bringing the dog back even tho he himself didn't
I get that he's a kid too but Nick is definitely in my top 10 people I wouldn't want to be stuck in a dangerous situation with 😂
Thank you Somnium for another amazing story!
Great story Samuel guest
Great job narrating, it kinda reads like could have been type of thing 😮 fun. Somnium Dark
the closing letter to his aunt was so sweet
In your recap at the end of the story, you talk about how you like how the story starts with the effects of the events, then goes on to tell what happened. This reminds me of the classic story Dagon by H.P. Lovecraft. If you haven't already read it, it's a pretty short read (maybe 20 minutes?) and is written in a similar way to this story, so maybe you'd like that as well.
That was EXACTLY the story that inspired me when I wrote it!
Fellow Coheed fan! I went on the last cruise with them and I'm super sad I'm not going this time around.
i was on that cruise too! mabye we passed by each other haha
