You did such a great job. I'm honored to have one of my stories being narrated with such effort. Thank you for doing it, and doing it well :) Hopefully I can get part two finished soon! 😜 - Maliagirl1314
My husband recommended this story, so I put it on while I was cooking. Naturally, mid prep, I glanced to my left and found him staring at me smiling. Little shit.
The wife for sure creeped on the mom probably her whole life until she moved out. That’s why the mom is the way she is and knows there’s nothing that can be done because she’s already tried to help her. Probably why she’s so cold and jaded too.
The mother definitly knew what he was talking about. But if she was her daugthers victim before him, I wonder how she managed to get away from her and also how and why the wife only suddenly, after years of being normal, turned again.
Probably those two are not the only ones. Just don't be unlucky to notice. Heck her (the wife) friends could have been victims with ignorant bliss or even coworkers. Now, it could be the brother too. If husband dies she'll probably switch targets.
@@shoes919 that’s an even better theory than mine I would have assume after killing her mothers husband she repressed the memories until her memory’s of killing resurfaced that or she had multiple personality disorder and her darker side won
@@TheFlauschig I totally expected the mom to say "She's peeking again, isn't she?". I think that's why the mother isn't so fond about the husband of her daughter, because she is aware of her sick ways and is afraid of his well being. Although I think it is some sort of posession.
The imagery of her being so excited about it when he finally saw her is what gets me. It's creepy that someone might be watching you, but then them getting some sort of ecstatic elation from getting caught, from the realization that the person you've been watching now knows you are watching and have been watching, is mad. Also, nothing really happens. She just keeps hiding and peeking. Near the end sure she chases them, but it's almost just playful to Lynn. The eyeballs were probably the most violent part. This is such a great story, I get chills when I think about the imagery of her getting excited when found out.
I feel like to many people hyped this one up for me I wish I found it on my own it just didn’t hit for me, defiantly some solid moments but not as chilling as I had hoped.
@@Nyssine yea some of us speak more than one language give me a break, also your profile picture screams “I kut myself while I listen to my chemical romance”
That was just super freaking creepy. I was convinced it wasn't really his wife and maybe a doppelganger and he would eventually talk to his actual wife realizing this but when it just kept going and I realized there's no doppelganger and this actually was her I was even more creeped out. Doppelgangers have always severely creeped me out but man this was something else! Great narration you had me on edge the entire time. I didn't realize my wife was laying in bed next to me awake listening to it also so when she spoke up and said "Jesus that was freaking creepy" I kind of jumped a little lmao.
Me too I also thought that maybe there was an evil spirit in the house and maybe it possessed her or was pretending to be her but the fact it was actually her was too scary
“I know this might seem childish to many of you, being upset with my wife like this-“ Sir, this is one of the single most terrifying things I’ve ever heard.
I have visual hallucinations which often happen EXACTLY like this, with someone or something peeking around a corner or door or through a window, so this is terrifying for me in a different way
I also have hallucinations, there was only one time that I had them based on something I watched, but I'm still very scared that it will happen when I find something that is actually creepy, definitely happened(clarification: that I had that fear) while watching this
@@1kaz1 bro why would you watch a video with a title like “my wife keeps peeking at me from around corners and behind furniture” ??? Do you have back problems from those titanium balls you must be carrying around?
My ex-gf introduced herself to me on a public bus, twice starting the convo in two times meeting each other over two months, separate occasions. The second time I asked her out on a date & from then on, we got together very quickly. One day, maybe around 2 months or a bit less into us being together, she shows me a video on her phone. I see myself sitting in said public bus, being filmed from a seat looking the opposite way but around 4 rows of seats down from my own. The camera followed me a bit outside even and when I walked out of view, not once even looking into its direction, the video stopped. I obviously was baffled, but importantly, I looked at the date: the video was taken two whole years before she had even talked to me once. So she admitted by herself to filming me on that day and from then on, having s**ual fantasies about me / us for over two years before finally talking to me. Now it’s about what she did after filming me, for the whole two years she had been „watching“ or „observing“ me ; she would start writing down when / where I‘d get off / on the bus and sometimes run or wait for an earlier / later bus to see me as often as possible, (which means she‘d sometimes wait for half an hour up to an hour because the bus line only drives this frequent, just to eventually see me), she was able to describe my friends well enough for me to know exactly who she saw me with, she would frequent spots or places in the city more often when / if she saw me there, especially multiple times, like in the library, lastly she would mirror me, if I was waiting for the train on one side of the tracks, she would basically stand face to face to me, vis-a-vis and when I would walk she’d do the same on the opposite side all of the above for two years from the first day she had seen me on said bus, until talking to me at all And again that’s just what she admitted by herself. Also she kept admitting to say one detail of the above, then check for my reaction, even being amused at my surprise etc, then reveal something new, so I found out about all details in the period of 1-2 weeks of her telling me bit by bit
i had a really bad spot of paranoia during an acid trip one night, walking home alone in the rain near sunrise. I was listening to my walkman and the song that was playing said something like "1,000 eyes watching you" or something like that and when i looked up at the road and surrounding woods, all i could see was little pinpricks of light that looked like eyes. I put my head down and sprinted all the way home.
I showered after this and it was genuinely scary. I peeked through the curtains just to be safe. It's rare a story actually effects me like this, good job!
I could so relate with this guy. Theres nothing quite as sobering as seeing my wife crab walk at speed over the ceiling, especially while refusing to replace the damn blown lightbulb while she was up there! I mean...c'mon is she really going to make me get the stepladders out. Shes so changed ...hee hee. Cheers DS , loved the story and the SFX were creepy as all hell. Wicked good job. Cheers man, Lee .
Now I’m imagining a story with grumpy middle aged husband who’s been living with his poltergeist of a wife for decades and is completely numb to it at this point. Like, he sees his wife crawling on the ceiling and he’s like "Goddammit woman! Would you at least change the damn lightbulb while you’re at it with your nonsense!"
Man that needs to be a movie, I’m just thinking of every scene in my head over and over. And it’s crazy because it’s part jump scare horror but also existential horror because you still hope Lynn can be saved even though we don’t know why this is happening. This was great , S/O to whoever wrote this
I think the movie shouldn't involve jump scares. It should translate the fear of the protagonist to the public. The viewers should also feel uneasy as if constantly watched and there should be scenes where the woman is hiding somewhere in the background peeking, for the viewer to constantly search in the background in fear
@@Unknownusername1004 Yes but only this scene would work for a jump scare. I think the idea that @Sasha Braus has where she's hiding somewhere in the background is perfect.
Sorry but it’s not top tier writing, I like the story but the writing could definitely be improved. For instance, at the end it says that he’s panically writing the entire story but it’s written with such precise detail, of every conversation and facial expression, even unnecessary information such as “I passed her the mug of coffee then kissed her on the cheek”. If someone was in a rush these small details would never be included, and that’s what makes this story read like a novel rather than a first hand account.
@@leslieellis2730 Possibly, just as unnecessary as the final detail the 'naysayer' critiqued. Most 'internet horror stories' suffer from this mistake, since it's a trope to include the witness writing it, for 'believability' sake. But ultimately, makes it less believable, less relatable, and overall less of a better story.
@@treyt7914 That's a problem with a lot of no sleep stories since it has to be written from the perspective of a real person posting it. I feel like it easily could have been fixed if he had been writing it for a while and then got the text at the end or if he just described the feeling of being watched. Overall, the premise was so good and most of it was really well written. I just feel like the whole eyeball thing was unnecessary.
@@treyt7914 someone else mentioned how the homespun writing adds a degree of authenticity to the story but I also want to mention that when u experience traumatic events (with the pretense this is a true story), u tend to remember menial details because the human brain is weird and random shit sticks out when thinking back to a highly emotional experience. regardless tho I completely understand ur point
What really terrifies me of this stories is how much you can tell he cares about her, he truly did want to help her at the end and even describes his feelings as childish. This is how toxic relationships work, surely not everyone battles with spouses that act like they are being possessed, but surely they deal with dangerous individuals
@@sciencesociety2919 most horror has a deeper meaning to it that reflects real life. This story represents toxic relationships. How the wife pretends like she is doing nothing wrong and seems caring and loving through text messages, but never addresses her wrongs. The husband desperately trying to give her boundaries, her constantly breaking them. The husband too embarrassed to tell anyone because he feels its not big enough of an issue, or that they wouldn't even believe him if he did.
In honor of this story I decided to “peek” at my husband. I had given him a quick run down of the story a week ago, stating that this is the creepiest story I’ve ever heard. This morning I was outside and heard him moving around the kitchen making coffee so very quietly I climbed up on the cellar hatchway to look though the kitchen window doing my best mild Lynn impression. Needless to say, when he saw me he almost had a damn heart attack. Then I did what Lynn would do , a mild version anyway. We laughed really good about that one. I promised him I would never ever do that again. That memory will amuse me for yrs to come…😏😏
Firstly, this is one of the best creepypasta type story I’ve heard in a long time. Genuinely scary! And well written! Excellent delivery! Secondly I’m so glad they didn’t take the easy way out and just attributed it to something like a ghost or mythical creature. It was actually the wife the whole time. I’m not sure why but it made the story so much better and more frightening! Well done!
Okay, I'll admit that I skipped over this story a dozen times when it kept popping up in my recommended videos cause I didn't think it would be very scary. I was dead-ass wrong cause this tale creeped me right the-fuck-out in the first five minutes alone and just kept ratcheting up the tension from there. This is one of the best scary short stories I've ever listened to! It's effortlessly atmospheric, captivating right to the end, and truly terrifying. If the author happens to see this, you're a dynamite writer! Thank you for the story, I loved it.
WHY did you literally hold a gun to my head and make me finally listen to this just before I have to go to sleep? You're a mean, mean, talented, MEAN man, Somnium. Please, keep up the amazing work
Agreed. First time in a while I felt actually scared. And so it happens I had to go into the cellar to get food for my cats. I was glancing into the darkness with unease. It's just real enough to get under one's skin.
Wish i had some lights to turn on for real. I was walking on a forest road while listening to this. Definetly made me terrified. Edit: if anyone is reading this, yes at night in the dark with only a flashlight, which i often do when i want to be scared. Its like a drug at this point :D
Same here. Normally I think their pretty cool, interesting stories but this one kept legitimately giving me chills and freaking me out and had me scared for the author
The only other that did it for me like this was Charles bonnet syndrome but psychosis the thing in my basement is getting better at mimicing people and the dogscape are my honorable mentions
@@freddylong2292 but why didn't she tell it straight ? Why did she do so much acting and why did she dislike her own son in law like that ? Moreover could Lynn have possibly harmed the narrator if he hadn't run away ? Like it sounds obvious but she also loved him as much. Rebecca would hear a good shocking story from Chris after he returned home. All her sympathies and doubts with Lynn would be blown off when she would hear that lady almost murdered her man, had the narrator not signalled him to escape.
This scared the shit out of me. I was sleeping in another room to give my wife a break from my constant snoring. Ran back to her like a small kid and hugged her. Have never felt this terrified before. Best narration iv heard till date. ❤️
Man, i just finished listening tothis one. I now have to wake up my girlfriend so i can cuddle her as well. If she ever peeks at me i will probably throw something at her tho XD.
Brother, get a CPAP machine. I cut redwoods when I sleep and after getting tested for sleep apnea discovered I was in need of a CPAP machine. Changed my life and now I can sleep by my wife and the chainsaw is shut off.

It's been a very long time since I heard a Creepypasta that has been even remotely this good. The way this story is written is what made Creepypastas amazing in the first place, more need to go back to this formula. The story is ACTUALLY creepy, there is the possibility it really could have happened, you actually get invested in the main character, and there isn't necessarily a happy ending. You sir have earned another subscriber, and I plan on listening many more of your stories.
I envy you, I wish I could experience all of this guys narrations for the first time again, he is the best by far and he pretty much only narrates the bangers.
I’m a massive creepypasta fan, I’ve been listening to them since I started middle school (I’m in college now) and I haven’t heard a story this good in ages, the last good one I’ve listened to was Psychosis. This guy audio/music skills are by far the best I’ve seen in the creepypasta community, he’s a godsend for us horror junkies
I like that no explanation is given. It makes it equally plausible that she's suffered some psychotic break or the onset of a neurological condition or tumor, or that she's posessed or is some supernatural entity parading around with her appearance.
Yeah I like how the author has it so you decide what might have happened to her such as a psychotic break or a possession and how they keep her mother kinda mysterious too like we don’t know if she does or doesn’t know about her problem and they keep the ending completely up to you I wonder if they’ll do a part 2 because imma kinda curious to learn more about it
I disagree. We need context. The story is good but the ending isn't satisfying. No hint of whats going on, no fate of the main character. It would have been nice if the mother would have said something other than "dur I can't help"
@@Shad0wj3ster567 Yeah, I think the problem with creepypastas is there’s never any solid truth behind what’s going on. Partly because the author wants to be free to change things, partly because they think if there are explanations then it’s not scary. The truth is actual good horror does have a truth behind the events, even if the main character doesn’t figure it out, there is something solid here. But in stories like this characters will for no reason refuse to say stuff they could easily say because it would help the audience understand.
@@Shad0wj3ster567The mother said what she said "with urgency" as though she knew more than she let on. This is also evidenced by cracks of her otherwise rigid persona showing. Also, explanations are stupid when it comes to horror. The unknown adds a whole layer of horror. Stripping it away makes it worse. This suddenly beginning to happen after 6 years of marriage out of nowhere, and her mother knowing about it is all we need to know. I dont like the "then I decided to write this down, even though I am possibly in serious danger" trope though. It should have ended with the text message from Lynn.
This is genuinely the best horror story that I have ever read/listened to online. The narration is perfect and the voice acting/sound design is all good, with Lynn sounding like a person turned rabid and into a monster, the mother sounding cold and angry, then of course the husband who genuinely just wanted the best for the woman he once loved. The story does a good job in terms of pacing as it never stays on any one section for too long but still allows the viewer to develop a sense of fear, terror at points, you can see this especially at the beginning when the wife starts to act different as it doesn't stay on it for too long or anything but also allows the viewer to get some idea of just how bad the situation is and it manages to do this rather consistently throughout the story. The characters are also well crafted in that they do a good job at their respective roles, with the husband believably being just a frightened person who, despite how awful and scary the situation is, still wants the best for who he at least thinks is the woman he once loved. The wife is very intimidating and the idea of a loved one doing that to me and becoming similar to what she does is certainly terrifying and it's shocking as despite not knowing the character for a long time of course, it feels believable that she was once a serious and normal person who you wouldn't expect to do something like this but then she turns into something different entirely. Then there's the mother who, while I do wish there was more info about her, is still good at her role of being the distant parent figure, it's interesting to think about what happened between her and the wife in the past. My favourite part of the story is without a doubt just how much is left up to personal interpretation, and it helps so much that we can't see what the wife's smile actually looks like, since what I imagine her smile to look like and her peeking out from behind the corners is going to be way scarier for me personally than anything else, it's also interesting to think about what possibly happened between the wife and the mother in the past, considering why exactly the mother may be the way she is. Of course there's also just why the wife turned out this way, whether it's her simply going insane or if she has been possessed, it makes the story so much more compelling on the whole. 9/10
What's cool about this story is that it has multiple possibilities 1) Wife is seriously mentally ill, as evidenced by her switching back and forth between her "personalities" even when talking to rebecca and chris. She was tired from her outbursts. It's unknown whether she is aware or not of what's going on, but her mother seemingly is, and probably had to deal with it during her daughter's childhood 2) Wife is a monster/possessed or just unapologetically crazy and she actually wants to hunt him down for fun, or somehow snapped because her husband told her for years to lighten up. But even then it's strange how animalistic and unable to communicate the monster was, whereas his wife could talk to others, send messages and such, it's clearly not the wife taking a joke too far. 3) That's not the wife. She played along at the start thinking he was making shit up, but there's a lot of reasons to believe it's a separate entity entirely. It peeking, then him finding her asleep in bed, her not adressing anything, showing concerns, supposedly moving away (perhaps even to her mother, who thinks he is treating her like shit and is the one who is going crazy, hence actually telling HIM to seek help), even trying to talk multiple times and seeming distraught. She had bloodshot eyes when she talked to Rebecca, just like the entity, but presumably because she cried at the unexplainable behaviour of her husband. He never once actually tried to verify he was actually meeting up with his wife, and that it wasn't someone else, instead of arranging a meet up in day light, somewhere crowded, to the person sending him the texts. Hell, he didn't even TRY to have a text conversation. Man is bloody haunted by a japanese horror style demon, and maybe the eyes were... for peeking at him? The shattered wedding frame is also symbolic, the lack of footprints around his brother's house was suspicious. That thing wants to destroy their marriage, and it did. Every event between him and the actual wife is a misunderstanding, and in her point of view he's the one going crazy for no reason, perhaps thinking she's guilty for setting him off replying to what she thought was banter by playing along, and not him "going crazy". This is imo the most likely one that the author was trying to convey, but seems like a lot of people took his perception of the events as the truth.
The 3rd one is highly possible. I know a lot about Japanese folklore. I do recall reading about a Japanese Demonic entity that likes to peek at others with bloodshot eyes without saying anything
I think it’s not the third one because of the “maybe I’ve just gotten better at it” part. I do think it’s the first theory tho, that seems more plausible
These were the three scenarios I thought of too. This is a really great story, and if I had any critique it would be that the build up needed a bit more fleshing out. From the moment of her first peeking to the time "she" terrorizes him in the bathroom, I felt like we could have used a bit more of a glimpse into their communication. Don't get me wrong, less is usually more in these stories, and leaving the wife's nature up to interpretation is the best move. But if we had a little more description of their life and/or communication, I think it would have added to the enjoyment of speculating over her nature. As it is, we're left with just barely enough to form theories.
OH man this is definitely a top creepy one- I can't help but think the mother knew and the biggest hint to her 'survival' being her reserved nature which she probably forced herself into being and even if she smiled it's 'thin lipped'. The moment the husband 'encouraged' the creepy ass wifes pranks and peeks by laughing, even if nervous, she became worse.
I thought there's going to be a backstory why the wife went crazy, but then the lack of explanation actually made it a lot better than it already is. Great work on retelling the story too!!
Backstory for these kind of stories always feel shoehorned in and ruin the realism for me. Some of the scariest things are completely unexplainable or unknown
Stories that keep you guessing are some of the best, it makes it scarier thinking of reasons she's acting like this. Is she the real wife? What does her mother know? Is it mental illness or a demon? Did the husband survive?
4:47 "you creep me out all the time, so now we're even" if this were a real scenario, why didn't he ask what she meant by that? I bet she is also seeing him smiling at her and looking around corners
I thought it was all in his head for a while, or there was some kind of mimic in his house. I really wanna know what’s up with her. I kind of hope it isn’t just an exorcism or some thing that needs to be done. That feels too easy.
@@petermiller5789 That was what I had assumed as well but I like the idea that shes seeing the same events, although I dont believe it to be the case Its still a creepy and cool twist
He describes looking at her while she's sleeping after the island in the kitchen incident, and staring out the door crack, etc. I know he's doing it as it's being told because he's looking for her but as someone who was peeked on through a vent in the ceiling by my drug induced psychosis ex who said I was watching him or whatever, it felt like pay back since it started after so many years. I was so mad at my ex for all the accusations of spying on him or recording him or cheating on him that drug psychosis delusions cause I started one night straight up recording him and winking at him cuz I was so fucking mad I wanted him to see what it'd really be like if I was doing the insane things he was claiming. I'm like if I wanted you dead trust me you'd be long gone you're really insulting me and making me sick and terrified. I took our daughter and we live in different states now. This is hell.
This story is amazing. The bittersweet reveal of other people seeing that his wife is not well contrasted with the realization that this is no hallucination.
Saying this before I even finish listening to the story, If your husband or wife starts creeping on you like this no matter how weird or playful they usually are it's probably a good idea to head for the hills and file for divorce from a great distance. Nothing good will come from it.
Naw, I've been with my husband 15+ years. I don't care what is wrong with him. If he lost his legs, arms, or mind I would NEVER run. I'd do whatever it took to get him the help he needed. I can't say I'm afraid of much. Surely not mental illness in the person I love. I'd be right there for him. Sickness and in health.
@@straighter100 I hate crawling. So much. I’d have booked it there and then!! Also the obligatory no I’m bit scared of babies, normal crawling like that is fine, I just don’t like unnatural crawling like bear crawling or crawling too fast. (For some reason people jump to babies crawling right away :/ )
Can’t help but get the feeling this story was inspired by the grudge movie. The sounds the wife made, the long black hair, only seeing her eyes not her whole face, moving on all 4. She definitely gave kayako vibes
The croaking noises were put in by the narrator not the actual author though. The author describes it as hiccuping. I did think it sounded exactly like the grudge though😂
@@sammykane5967 The description of hiccuping works better than croaking in this context, at least I think so. Hearing the sounds a jubilant toddler would make while waiting for a bowl of ice cream to be set in front of them emitting from a blood-soaked woman sounds terrifying.
Me personally even if I saw her doing that once I'ma fake sleep to make her go and in the day WOOP WOOP THATS THE SOUND OF THE POLICE I'm not staying with her if I see that
It’s stories like this with, no supernatural elements … just plain everyday reality, that make these stories so darn creepy. The idea that one day a switch just flipped in the wife’s head and she so readily embraced her crazy and in turn terrorized her husband gave me major goosebumps. I’ll definitely be using a nightlight tonight.
I wouldn't say no supernatural elements... there's implications that the Wife could be demonically possessed, what with the mom emphasizing "Professional Help" and the Friend joking about getting an exorcist. However, the difference is its not explicitly confirmed that possession is what's happening. It's left up to interpretation what's wrong.
Recently saw that Smile movie and that creeped me out a ton. This was just as unsettling. That "Maybe I've gotten better at it" line made me immediately paranoid. 😅
It reminded me of the part in the movie where she was on the phone with the security company and the operator said “are you sure you didn’t let anything in?”
this reminded me of that movie. A genuine smile from a friend that enjoys your company or a joke that gets a laugh is very different from the smile of the guy with a knife or someone who plans to do you harm. It turns a positive idea into the most horrific thing you've ever seen

Hey everyone! I have been working on a 5 hour video lately and its taking longer than expected, so, I wanted to post some shorter videos in the meantime for you while im finishing it up. I hope you like it!
I read this back on reddit and it was visceral. The chills ran through my body which was rare because the story was heart pumpingly good. After reading it I thought "I can't wait for Dark Somnium to narrate this" and here we are. Thank you so much.
This story really shakes me to the bone. It's not just because of how detailed things are, but because someone you can hold so dearly and close, a person who is your comfort can become your worst fear. Excellent story telling man
I don’t understand why this one went SO HARD! I find more then 80% of these stories boring but the interpretation that the writer left for us was perfect. It’s never explained because it didn’t have to be. Made this so good! Not to mention his presentation and sound effects he used. This was very well done.
@@jackcalkins4232 the best thing about this story is that there is no correct interpretation. I think that any of it is possible but I like to think that something was imitating his wife because that is what I find most terrifying.
@@unnstoppablefury building on that: the thing imitating her WAS her, but it no longer is. You try to get them back, but they are a new person (or “thing”) unwilling to go back to the one you fell in love with. It’s a toxic and emotionally abusive relationship. In the end, his trauma lives on with him, always thinking about who she became and how she could have done this. That’s my interpretation but once I read a comment saying it’s a toxic relationship metaphor it totally clicked after just getting out of a bad one that’s torn me a new one, mentally speaking.
My ex-gf introduced herself to me on a public bus, twice starting the convo in two times meeting each other over two months, separate occasions. The second time I asked her out on a date & from then on, we got together very quickly. One day, maybe around 2 months or a bit less into us being together, she shows me a video on her phone.

Now it’s about what she did after filming me, for the whole two years she had been „watching“ or „observing“ me ; she would start writing down when / where I‘d get off / on the bus and sometimes run or wait for an earlier / later bus to see me as often as possible, (which means she‘d sometimes wait for half an hour up to an hour because the bus line only drives this frequent, just to eventually see me), she was able to describe my friends well enough for me to know exactly who she saw me with, she would frequent spots or places in the city more often when / if she saw me there, especially multiple times, like in the library, lastly she would mirror me, if I was waiting for the train on one side of the tracks, she would basically stand face to face to me, vis-a-vis and when I would walk she’d do the same on the opposite side all of the above for two years from the first day she had seen me on said bus, until talking to me at all And again that’s just what she admitted by herself.

Im so glad the ending was left unresolved, a lot of horror stories tend to go for weird supernatural stuff which waters down the realism or the ability for it to be believable. amazing job by the writer, and amazing voice acting as well!
This one got me 😐. Can’t wait for the animated version. It’ll be one of the scariest ones. This could be a great movie. These also scared me pretty good. A few mentions. 1.”You’re going to notice a woman in your home, you must ignore her.”- (Has short film). 2. “My dog was lost for three days. What came back wasn’t my dog.” 3. “My brother died when I was a child and he kept talking.” 4. “We buried the only key with my sister. Now her old room is locked from the inside.” 5.”If you wake up at 3:33am, don’t look outside.”
@@raquelcan787 One of the best ever made. Was honestly afraid to leave my room or use the bathroom and even sleep. I made the mistake of listening to it home alone at night. 😆
@@nikolaiwulff I'm dying to know too!! If you find out please let me know, if I find them I will let you know. The way they talk about the stories it sounds like it's gonna be a good watch
I've listened to creepypastas off and on since I first discovered them when I was 17 or 18. I haven't found one that has made me pause and dread listening further before. The scene in the shower and the bit under the bed... this actually freaked me out so much I'm paranoid. damn good job to both narrator and writer. 😮😅
She sounds delightful, I can't believe he didn't appreciate her unique gifts, just imagine how helpful household chores could be with that ability to slink and crawl
12:47 "I told him Lin and I had a fight, but didn't get into the details." OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD Why do these protagonists always have such a psychotic refusal to communicate with others? Literally too stupid to live.
ONG every time they get a chance to explain, they never do! it would be the first thing i do even if i sound crazy to others, and with his wife running around being crazy it shouldnt be hard to prove!
this is the only instance of that trope i feel actually makes sense, go ahead and say out loud from the protagonist's perspective what happened and i guarantee it will sound like you're describing someone playing a prank on you even saying something like "she's been doing this for days" or "she was there for an hour" sounds like exaggeration to most people, and the protagonist's brother seems like the type to not take anything seriously so i'm guessing it would be the same outcome no matter what was said but everyone's a critic yknow
It's realistic though. Try telling someone something like this and watch their reaction. It will be dismissive because no one wants to deal with your shit and just want to get rid of the responsibility of dealing with you
I need a sequel or something. What happened to the wife? Was she possessed? Does she have a condition? The mom obviously knows. Also, part of me feels bad for the husband. Dude just wanted his wife back :/
This is genuinely the most terrifying thing I’ve ever heard. I usually listen to your videos while I try to sleep but this one has me wide awake. Well done
Some spoilers ahead: WOW! This was an amazing story, not many stories make me paranoid but this one did. I had the theory that maybe it was something imitating the wife- because of how she mentioned “you creep me out all the time too” at the beginning. Maybe she was seeing her husband peek at her from around corners too 👀 Then the way she acted confused after he ran out, not understanding why. Perhaps when he had gone back to the house her car wasn’t there because the real her went to go seek support from friends, which left whatever was imitating her in the house - free to do whatever (like put eyeballs in the closet) Just thoughts. Hope there is a second part written!
That’s a good one, to add a little bit to your theory what if it’s there doppelgänger and what if they need to feed off there fear before being able to kill then and maybe that’s what also happened to the mother in law she was killed by her doppelgänger and that’s why she’s so cold and that’s why Chris wife saw her being normal and maybe the same thing also will happen to the wife maybe she’ll also go to the house and find her “husband” in the same state
29:28 - Dude, I was so into this story that I literally reacted to this moment aloud, like I was the husband: "Chris, do you frickin' believe me now? She's out of her goddamn mind!"
I’m glad this is just audio, there’s no way I’d be able to watch it fully if it was a movie. This is definitely one of the most terrifying creepy pastas I’ve read/heard. And I’ve listened to and read MANY of them in my spare time.
I listen to A LOT of creepy pastas, and none of them have scared me as much as this one! This was terrifying in the best way! And the narration was SPOT on! Well done!
Woooooow- this has been one of ONLY FEW stories that ACTUALLY GOT TO ME! Bravo! You did excellent narrating for this ghastly story, shudders. Doesn’t help that i’ve seen someone that was possessed & i’d swear the writer has experienced similar situation because that’s exactly like the aura around them shudders.
Mmm my thoughts exactly 😂 bet her mom is like that because lynn did that to her (the mom) for her (lynn’s) entire childhood. They are scary good actors to, she sure had Ben fooled.
when I first read this on reddit, I was genuinely uncomfortable and had physical reactions to certain parts. one of my favorite NoSleep posts. can't wait to hear it!!
See, animals peeking around corners is adorable. People peeking around corners is creepy, especially if they don't say anything. This was a really well written creepy story, I like how it gives you just enough clues to create some theories, but not enough to definitively prove anything. I definitely feel like the mother in law knew something, the way she was so dismissive was really suspicious.
My wife went through a blood curdling screaming episode. She would go in and out of demonic screaming while pacing frantically around the house, reminded me of the witch from Left 4 Dead. When she would come out of her screaming fits she would manically ramble on how she's fighting the urge to lose control then would go back into a screaming episode. None the less I called the police/ambulance while holding her down to keep her from hurting herself. It was wild, ended up she accidentally took one too many Wellbutrin within 24 hours thinking it would help her mood more. The hospital administered a drug that counteracts the effects of Wellbutrin and she came down after 30 mins to an hour.

This is seriously the most disturbing story ive heard yet. I'm only 13 minutes in and I can say I have literally never felt this uncomfortable. This is literal gold
you gotta listen to one of his new ones man its calles something like "my dad finally told me the truth" that is by far the best one i have listened to it scared the shit outta me
just realized my new biggest fear is being watched. I’m listening to this at 3 am and I’m usually fine with laying in the dark listening to these but I couldn’t help glancing under my door and bed every chance I got and I had the lights on. Terrifying.
I can’t remember the last time I got this freaked out from a horror story. You did an amazing job. The narration, music, and overall sound design was top notch. Now, if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go turn on all my lights, check every possible hiding place in my house.
This is the first creepypasta that’s ever truly hooked me on a premise I had no idea the outcome of, then proceeded to give me no answers but still keep me satisfied. Glorious writing. Also having Chris see the eyeballs and react realistically and having the both of them believe him is a refreshing change in horror
I was half asleep when I began listening to this story... I'm wide awake now. I love all things horror, and I'm somewhat of a horror veteran, but this...this chilled me.
Oh boy, this is genuinely terrifying and just what I needed; I tend to take breaks from scary stories bc it's tiring to listen to them all the time and this is literally the best story to get back into the swing of things. Strong and scary oof😭
This was abseloutley horrifying, i consider myself a seasoned veteran when it comes to horror. Watched probably a thousand different creepy pastas No problem, but this one actually made me paranoid and afraid to sleep.
Hey man, hope all is well with you. Your narrations have been super important to me for quite some time helped me through a phase of my life filled with addiction and I hope everything is okay with you.
The fact that bro “thought” he saw her before going back in the house with his brother but then played it off as imagination fucks with me heavily, like no bro you saw her and she saw y’all, then she booked it upstairs and under the bed and waited, that’s some freaky shit man, also the way he told this story was absolutely phenomenal, I listened to it while driving home and I stg I panicked every time I looked in any of the mirrors, truly scared the manliness straight from my body, kudos to you my guy you did Ana amazing job and I hope you keep it up, definitely subscribing to this channel to listen to more P.S. this was the first video I ever watched/ listened to on this channel, I’m praying that there’s more like this one when it comes to the scare factor 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Honestly, I have never gotten this scared at night listening to a nosleep Reddit story since they would always be a way for me to sleep. But, your narration as superb as it always is has got my heart racing and my eyes open wide. Keep up the good work man!
I listen to your channel as a form of bedtime stories. Something I can doze off to, and when I can't sleep because of insomnia, it keeps me entertained. The other night in bed I had my boyfriend listen with me because the title sounded fun and we often talk about marriage and do prank eachother. At the end he was terrified and made me promise to never do the wide eye smile, and I had to cuddle him to sleep. Guess we found a fear? Amazing story, I loved it and it scared the hell out of my boyfriend
Best NoSleep story I've read. No matter how many times I re-read it, it never gets less scary, especially the bathroom part. The other scary part is "maybe I've just gotten better at it," there would've been so much pee in my pants if I was in that moment, and I heard that from her. So much. I would've dipped faster than Doritos.
i think its a masterpiece up until the end where its just devolves into some generic exorcist crap. the first like 70% is gauntly creepy though when i first started listening it was on my phone and i did see the "creepy pasta" part of the title so i thought this was an actual account of someones experience which made it even creepier. even if it is just a story its really well done
As someone with a very deep-rooted yet specific fear of things peeking out from around corners, this was especially hard to get through - Great story though and brilliant narration as always!!
Out of the probably thousands of creepy stories I’ve listened to every night this one seriously was the most disturbing by far! It irked me to my core very creepy. What a masterpiece
Me before listening: awesome, a nice long one to help me fall asleep. Me after listening: great, now that the sun is up I can try the whole sleeping thing again. Damn, this was a good one. 😅
@@somerandomperson5473 The writer from the Reddit post this was read from said she will write a second part but just needs the time and space to sit down and do so. No timetable arm as far as I could find.
Idk why people think the sun is gonna make a difference. In fact, something happening during noon in a quiet house is way more terrifying than something in a quiet house at night.
I’m surprise this Wasn’t trending…. this was the most beautiful story I’ve ever heard. eerie, & realistic a light banger I love scary stories like these that everyone can relate to it starts so nonchalant but ends so TERRIFYING
@@Darksomnium HEYYYYYY SOMNIUM ❤️❤️❤️ luh u dawggg ❤️❤️ this channel brings me happiness keep the scary stories coming… I hope to see you number one trending someday 😊
When i read the title I thought theres no way this story could be that creepy, and it would just be a mild story. But holy fuck I think this is the most creeped out I have been from one of your stories for a while! The creepy voice, the sfx, the terrifying music, with the loud static sounding parts, it really got me invested to the point of me feeling like the main character and feeling that dread and fear. Good fucking job on this one man like seriously. It was well worth the wait. Please never stop making these videos!
Excellent story and perfect narration of it. I found your channel two or so days ago and I’ve binged numerous hours worth of your videos. The SFX, the music (the music in the climax of this one was amazing), the VA, your voice, the effort you and others put in, everything makes your videos the most enjoyable and entertaining to tune into.
I really love the build up to the signs of possession - and it wasn't even pointed out like most stories would. "Professional help" obviously meant an exorcist. Great story. Loved every second of it.
Definitely, I called possession when things started getting really crazy. I don't think she's just crazy, a lot of this story had a supernatural angle to it.
That was really, REALLY, good. Very well narrated, the story was explained using lots of descriptors, allowing the listener to, very easily, imagine in their minds-eye, each scene. These usually don't creep me out and I think bc most of these stories(at least the ones I've come across, are generally not realistic or easily possible... there's an air of fantasy... but this one was simple...succinct, and not too fantastical... shit like this could and does happen, I'm sure... where the person, for whatever reason, begins acting out, batshit crazy for no apparent reason. Very creepy. Well done
I got to admit it...this was the scariest creepypasta I have ever heard! The pacing was steady, and invoked a sense of terror based in reality. Great read...I'm gonna listen to it again!
That story is definitely creepy! You narrated it so well that I could actually picture this whole story unfolding as if I were watching a movie! NOW THAT'S how narrating should be done. Bravo! 👏
I’ve heard about husbands who pull off that sort or stuff, but not wives. Seems as if there was a Melissa Gilbert/Bruce Boxleitner did a movie about that. Then there was Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte.
throughout my years of listening to creepypastas this one is by far the scariest one, 100%, no doubt, hands down. Also, the way you narrate it, it feels so real dude. well done, you are so much better than the other narrators that I've heard.✊
You did such a great job. I'm honored to have one of my stories being narrated with such effort. Thank you for doing it, and doing it well :)
Hopefully I can get part two finished soon! 😜

We seriously need a sequel for this.
Danm I liked it alot
This was such a good story and creeped me out. You have a great creative mind.
My husband recommended this story, so I put it on while I was cooking. Naturally, mid prep, I glanced to my left and found him staring at me smiling. Little shit.
Haha that's awesome xD
Sounds like divorce 😭😭😭
Seems he wants to play the knife game😭
😭 omg that’s evil haha
That's hilarious.
her hiding in the bathroom with him is genuinely the most horrifying part of this
It is
I would have given her a swirly.
Yup, absolutely the most terrifying part of this story🫢
I genuinely get that the bathroom shit was terrifying but the eyeballs in the closet and the blood is just the free trial to literally hell.
@@Obi-Wan_Kenobi62That part was definitely freaky, but the part in the bathroom hits closer to home because it feels like it could actually happen.
The wife for sure creeped on the mom probably her whole life until she moved out. That’s why the mom is the way she is and knows there’s nothing that can be done because she’s already tried to help her. Probably why she’s so cold and jaded too.
The mother definitly knew what he was talking about. But if she was her daugthers victim before him, I wonder how she managed to get away from her and also how and why the wife only suddenly, after years of being normal, turned again.
@@TheFlauschig maybe she was doing this the whole time and he never noticed🤔
Probably those two are not the only ones. Just don't be unlucky to notice. Heck her (the wife) friends could have been victims with ignorant bliss or even coworkers. Now, it could be the brother too. If husband dies she'll probably switch targets.
@@shoes919 that’s an even better theory than mine I would have assume after killing her mothers husband she repressed the memories until her memory’s of killing resurfaced that or she had multiple personality disorder and her darker side won
@@TheFlauschig I totally expected the mom to say "She's peeking again, isn't she?". I think that's why the mother isn't so fond about the husband of her daughter, because she is aware of her sick ways and is afraid of his well being. Although I think it is some sort of posession.
The fact she sat in the bathroom with him for 2 hours, probably smiling through the crack still gives me chills lol
The imagery of her being so excited about it when he finally saw her is what gets me. It's creepy that someone might be watching you, but then them getting some sort of ecstatic elation from getting caught, from the realization that the person you've been watching now knows you are watching and have been watching, is mad. Also, nothing really happens. She just keeps hiding and peeking. Near the end sure she chases them, but it's almost just playful to Lynn. The eyeballs were probably the most violent part.
This is such a great story, I get chills when I think about the imagery of her getting excited when found out.
I feel like to many people hyped this one up for me I wish I found it on my own it just didn’t hit for me, defiantly some solid moments but not as chilling as I had hoped.
@@EndOfAnAg3 bro said "defiantly"
@@Nyssine yea some of us speak more than one language give me a break, also your profile picture screams “I kut myself while I listen to my chemical romance”
@@EndOfAnAg3 nah... well, ok maybe their first album but other than that, nah
That was just super freaking creepy. I was convinced it wasn't really his wife and maybe a doppelganger and he would eventually talk to his actual wife realizing this but when it just kept going and I realized there's no doppelganger and this actually was her I was even more creeped out. Doppelgangers have always severely creeped me out but man this was something else! Great narration you had me on edge the entire time. I didn't realize my wife was laying in bed next to me awake listening to it also so when she spoke up and said "Jesus that was freaking creepy" I kind of jumped a little lmao.
Me too I also thought that maybe there was an evil spirit in the house and maybe it possessed her or was pretending to be her but the fact it was actually her was too scary
Your wife missed an opportunity to scare the living hell out of you by acting like she was asleep, and later spying at you like the wife in the story.

Chris was overly quippy for me. Seemed like he was more concerned with making jokes than helping his brother's marriage.
I have visual hallucinations which often happen EXACTLY like this, with someone or something peeking around a corner or door or through a window, so this is terrifying for me in a different way
I also have hallucinations, there was only one time that I had them based on something I watched, but I'm still very scared that it will happen when I find something that is actually creepy, definitely happened(clarification: that I had that fear) while watching this

My ex-gf introduced herself to me on a public bus, twice starting the convo in two times meeting each other over two months, separate occasions. The second time I asked her out on a date & from then on, we got together very quickly.
One day, maybe around 2 months or a bit less into us being together, she shows me a video on her phone. I see myself sitting in said public bus, being filmed from a seat looking the opposite way but around 4 rows of seats down from my own. The camera followed me a bit outside even and when I walked out of view, not once even looking into its direction, the video stopped.
I obviously was baffled, but importantly, I looked at the date: the video was taken two whole years before she had even talked to me once.
So she admitted by herself to filming me on that day and from then on, having s**ual fantasies about me / us for over two years before finally talking to me. Now it’s about what she did after filming me, for the whole two years she had been „watching“ or „observing“ me ;
she would start writing down when / where I‘d get off / on the bus and sometimes run or wait for an earlier / later bus to see me as often as possible, (which means she‘d sometimes wait for half an hour up to an hour because the bus line only drives this frequent, just to eventually see me), she was able to describe my friends well enough for me to know exactly who she saw me with, she would frequent spots or places in the city more often when / if she saw me there, especially multiple times, like in the library, lastly she would mirror me, if I was waiting for the train on one side of the tracks, she would basically stand face to face to me, vis-a-vis and when I would walk she’d do the same on the opposite side
all of the above for two years from the first day she had seen me on said bus, until talking to me at all
And again that’s just what she admitted by herself. Also she kept admitting to say one detail of the above, then check for my reaction, even being amused at my surprise etc, then reveal something new, so I found out about all details in the period of 1-2 weeks of her telling me bit by bit

i had a really bad spot of paranoia during an acid trip one night, walking home alone in the rain near sunrise. I was listening to my walkman and the song that was playing said something like "1,000 eyes watching you" or something like that and when i looked up at the road and surrounding woods, all i could see was little pinpricks of light that looked like eyes. I put my head down and sprinted all the way home.
@@l3ftie578 Sounds like you had a Jim Stafford tape, almost verbatim lyrics from swamp witch. Not a song I'd listen to while on anything
I showered after this and it was genuinely scary. I peeked through the curtains just to be safe. It's rare a story actually effects me like this, good job!

@@justinTime077 I don't even close my eyes, let alone buy a shower curtain

I could so relate with this guy. Theres nothing quite as sobering as seeing my wife crab walk at speed over the ceiling, especially while refusing to replace the damn blown lightbulb while she was up there! I mean...c'mon is she really going to make me get the stepladders out. Shes so changed ...hee hee. Cheers DS , loved the story and the SFX were creepy as all hell. Wicked good job. Cheers man, Lee .
Now I’m imagining a story with grumpy middle aged husband who’s been living with his poltergeist of a wife for decades and is completely numb to it at this point.
Like, he sees his wife crawling on the ceiling and he’s like
"Goddammit woman! Would you at least change the damn lightbulb while you’re at it with your nonsense!"
Man that needs to be a movie, I’m just thinking of every scene in my head over and over. And it’s crazy because it’s part jump scare horror but also existential horror because you still hope Lynn can be saved even though we don’t know why this is happening. This was great , S/O to whoever wrote this
I think the movie shouldn't involve jump scares. It should translate the fear of the protagonist to the public. The viewers should also feel uneasy as if constantly watched and there should be scenes where the woman is hiding somewhere in the background peeking, for the viewer to constantly search in the background in fear
@@SaschaBraus77 there would definitely be jump scares especially the bathroom scene
I think this is inspired by a movie called “the grudge” you should check it out. The croaking/moan sound sounds like one from this movie
@@Unknownusername1004 Yes but only this scene would work for a jump scare. I think the idea that @Sasha Braus has where she's hiding somewhere in the background is perfect.
@@lilybee6140 I could see it working as a scene like that as well just barely seeing her in the background
This is legit scary. Top tier writing and story telling! The grandma's chest drawer is underrated. Holy crap!
Sorry but it’s not top tier writing, I like the story but the writing could definitely be improved. For instance, at the end it says that he’s panically writing the entire story but it’s written with such precise detail, of every conversation and facial expression, even unnecessary information such as “I passed her the mug of coffee then kissed her on the cheek”. If someone was in a rush these small details would never be included, and that’s what makes this story read like a novel rather than a first hand account.

@@leslieellis2730 Possibly, just as unnecessary as the final detail the 'naysayer' critiqued.
Most 'internet horror stories' suffer from this mistake, since it's a trope to include the witness writing it, for 'believability' sake.
But ultimately, makes it less believable, less relatable, and overall less of a better story.
@@treyt7914 That's a problem with a lot of no sleep stories since it has to be written from the perspective of a real person posting it. I feel like it easily could have been fixed if he had been writing it for a while and then got the text at the end or if he just described the feeling of being watched. Overall, the premise was so good and most of it was really well written. I just feel like the whole eyeball thing was unnecessary.
@@treyt7914 someone else mentioned how the homespun writing adds a degree of authenticity to the story but I also want to mention that when u experience traumatic events (with the pretense this is a true story), u tend to remember menial details because the human brain is weird and random shit sticks out when thinking back to a highly emotional experience. regardless tho I completely understand ur point
What really terrifies me of this stories is how much you can tell he cares about her, he truly did want to help her at the end and even describes his feelings as childish. This is how toxic relationships work, surely not everyone battles with spouses that act like they are being possessed, but surely they deal with dangerous individuals
It's not a toxic relationship, it's possession (this story is anyways).
Huh I never really looked at this like that, very unique analogy
@@sciencesociety2919 most horror has a deeper meaning to it that reflects real life. This story represents toxic relationships. How the wife pretends like she is doing nothing wrong and seems caring and loving through text messages, but never addresses her wrongs. The husband desperately trying to give her boundaries, her constantly breaking them. The husband too embarrassed to tell anyone because he feels its not big enough of an issue, or that they wouldn't even believe him if he did.
not to mention feeling scared and violated in your own home. He feels constantly on edge and like he's in danger constantly
I should call her (not actually tho)
In honor of this story I decided to “peek” at my husband. I had given him a quick run down of the story a week ago, stating that this is the creepiest story I’ve ever heard. This morning I was outside and heard him moving around the kitchen making coffee so very quietly I climbed up on the cellar hatchway to look though the kitchen window doing my best mild Lynn impression. Needless to say, when he saw me he almost had a damn heart attack. Then I did what Lynn would do , a mild version anyway. We laughed really good about that one. I promised him I would never ever do that again. That memory will amuse me for yrs to come…😏😏
Do it again
That's soo mean.. do it again 😈
God Forbid someone - *_something_* - else does it for you.
@@Pluvillion Oh no.
Hahaha. Lovely
I already know I'm going to love this one. Especially since it's late at night and I have a huge fear of being watched.

Genuinely curious, does these videos help or make it worse?
Firstly, this is one of the best creepypasta type story I’ve heard in a long time. Genuinely scary! And well written! Excellent delivery!
Secondly I’m so glad they didn’t take the easy way out and just attributed it to something like a ghost or mythical creature. It was actually the wife the whole time. I’m not sure why but it made the story so much better and more frightening! Well done!
I think what makes it more scary about it being the wife, is that it is more realistic, as if this could happen to anyone any time.
I read this on Reddit. Definitely going to be one of the top NoSleep of the year.
The author is very talented!
Scared the crap out of me Lowkey paranoid now 😭
Mind linking the post on Reddit?? Pls
@@_Hyphema_ link in description dude
What's the reddit page
Okay, I'll admit that I skipped over this story a dozen times when it kept popping up in my recommended videos cause I didn't think it would be very scary. I was dead-ass wrong cause this tale creeped me right the-fuck-out in the first five minutes alone and just kept ratcheting up the tension from there. This is one of the best scary short stories I've ever listened to! It's effortlessly atmospheric, captivating right to the end, and truly terrifying. If the author happens to see this, you're a dynamite writer! Thank you for the story, I loved it.
Thank you so much :)
I share the exact same thoughts lol
It popped on my home page a couple of times before I finnally clicked it
me too but it turned out really good
I read it twice in the last 48 hours too
Me too blood
As soon as the story ended "I think im being watched..." the damned cat jumped on me. Half sh*t me self. Lol
Great narration man 👍🏼
LOL
Wait how do you half sh*t yourself
Thank u for sharing this lmao 🤣
🤣🤣
😆😆😆😆😆
WHY did you literally hold a gun to my head and make me finally listen to this just before I have to go to sleep? You're a mean, mean, talented, MEAN man, Somnium. Please, keep up the amazing work
This story is the rare one that actually makes me turn on all the lights in the house, great commentary!
Faaxxx

Agreed. First time in a while I felt actually scared. And so it happens I had to go into the cellar to get food for my cats. I was glancing into the darkness with unease. It's just real enough to get under one's skin.
@@aldranzam3456 I agree my heart was pounding like I was under serious threat. At the same time I was hooked!!
Wish i had some lights to turn on for real.
I was walking on a forest road while listening to this.
Definetly made me terrified.
Edit: if anyone is reading this, yes at night in the dark with only a flashlight, which i often do when i want to be scared.
Its like a drug at this point :D
Definitely the scariest most unnerving story I've heard from dark somnium so far.
Same here. Normally I think their pretty cool, interesting stories but this one kept legitimately giving me chills and freaking me out and had me scared for the author
Have you heard The Hidden Webpage. That one got me :D
Literally
The only other that did it for me like this was Charles bonnet syndrome but psychosis the thing in my basement is getting better at mimicing people and the dogscape are my honorable mentions
Turn it off I think it’s called is one of his best I think but this comes close definitely
"She doesn't need help, she needs a £#@&ing EXORCIST"!
Great line delivered impeccably.
:)
Straight ripped off from The Exorcist.
@@justin9744They didn't say they made it up. It's obvious that the line came from somewhere becuz of the quotation mark
I sure that's what her mother was referring to.
@@freddylong2292 but why didn't she tell it straight ? Why did she do so much acting and why did she dislike her own son in law like that ? Moreover could Lynn have possibly harmed the narrator if he hadn't run away ? Like it sounds obvious but she also loved him as much. Rebecca would hear a good shocking story from Chris after he returned home. All her sympathies and doubts with Lynn would be blown off when she would hear that lady almost murdered her man, had the narrator not signalled him to escape.
Although this is a year old, am gonna comment. I read this line in Katt Williams voice.
"She doesn't need therapy she needs an exorcist"
BASED!😂
So BASED my fellow sigma gamer ‼️😂🗣️💯
This scared the shit out of me. I was sleeping in another room to give my wife a break from my constant snoring. Ran back to her like a small kid and hugged her. Have never felt this terrified before.
Best narration iv heard till date. ❤️
❤
Man, i just finished listening tothis one. I now have to wake up my girlfriend so i can cuddle her as well.
If she ever peeks at me i will probably throw something at her tho XD.
Brother, get a CPAP machine. I cut redwoods when I sleep and after getting tested for sleep apnea discovered I was in need of a CPAP machine. Changed my life and now I can sleep by my wife and the chainsaw is shut off.
🤣
My ex-gf introduced herself to me on a public bus, twice starting the convo in two times meeting each other over two months, separate occasions. The second time I asked her out on a date & from then on, we got together very quickly.
One day, maybe around 2 months or a bit less into us being together, she shows me a video on her phone. I see myself sitting in said public bus, being filmed from a seat looking the opposite way but around 4 rows of seats down from my own. The camera followed me a bit outside even and when I walked out of view, not once even looking into its direction, the video stopped.
I obviously was baffled, but importantly, I looked at the date: the video was taken two whole years before she had even talked to me once.
So she admitted by herself to filming me on that day and from then on, having s**ual fantasies about me / us for over two years before finally talking to me. Now it’s about what she did after filming me, for the whole two years she had been „watching“ or „observing“ me ;
she would start writing down when / where I‘d get off / on the bus and sometimes run or wait for an earlier / later bus to see me as often as possible, (which means she‘d sometimes wait for half an hour up to an hour because the bus line only drives this frequent, just to eventually see me), she was able to describe my friends well enough for me to know exactly who she saw me with, she would frequent spots or places in the city more often when / if she saw me there, especially multiple times, like in the library, lastly she would mirror me, if I was waiting for the train on one side of the tracks, she would basically stand face to face to me, vis-a-vis and when I would walk she’d do the same on the opposite side
all of the above for two years from the first day she had seen me on said bus, until talking to me at all
And again that’s just what she admitted by herself. Also she kept admitting to say one detail of the above, then check for my reaction, even being amused at my surprise etc, then reveal something new, so I found out about all details in the period of 1-2 weeks of her telling me bit by bit
It's been a very long time since I heard a Creepypasta that has been even remotely this good. The way this story is written is what made Creepypastas amazing in the first place, more need to go back to this formula. The story is ACTUALLY creepy, there is the possibility it really could have happened, you actually get invested in the main character, and there isn't necessarily a happy ending. You sir have earned another subscriber, and I plan on listening many more of your stories.
I envy you, I wish I could experience all of this guys narrations for the first time again, he is the best by far and he pretty much only narrates the bangers.
I’m a massive creepypasta fan, I’ve been listening to them since I started middle school (I’m in college now) and I haven’t heard a story this good in ages, the last good one I’ve listened to was Psychosis. This guy audio/music skills are by far the best I’ve seen in the creepypasta community, he’s a godsend for us horror junkies
@@Nonexistent_Music Psychosis was really good
Theres a really good one i believe is called "the thing in my basement is getting better at mimicking people"
I found that the protagonist in this one to acted like how normal people would act if face in the same situation.
I like that no explanation is given. It makes it equally plausible that she's suffered some psychotic break or the onset of a neurological condition or tumor, or that she's posessed or is some supernatural entity parading around with her appearance.
Yeah I like how the author has it so you decide what might have happened to her such as a psychotic break or a possession and how they keep her mother kinda mysterious too like we don’t know if she does or doesn’t know about her problem and they keep the ending completely up to you I wonder if they’ll do a part 2 because imma kinda curious to learn more about it
I disagree. We need context. The story is good but the ending isn't satisfying. No hint of whats going on, no fate of the main character. It would have been nice if the mother would have said something other than "dur I can't help"
@@Shad0wj3ster567 Yeah, I think the problem with creepypastas is there’s never any solid truth behind what’s going on. Partly because the author wants to be free to change things, partly because they think if there are explanations then it’s not scary.
The truth is actual good horror does have a truth behind the events, even if the main character doesn’t figure it out, there is something solid here. But in stories like this characters will for no reason refuse to say stuff they could easily say because it would help the audience understand.
@@Shad0wj3ster567The mother said what she said "with urgency" as though she knew more than she let on. This is also evidenced by cracks of her otherwise rigid persona showing.
Also, explanations are stupid when it comes to horror.
The unknown adds a whole layer of horror. Stripping it away makes it worse.
This suddenly beginning to happen after 6 years of marriage out of nowhere, and her mother knowing about it is all we need to know. I dont like the "then I decided to write this down, even though I am possibly in serious danger" trope though. It should have ended with the text message from Lynn.
@@testcase6997There is evidently a truth we dont figure out, as the mother knows, at least knows more than she lets on.
This is genuinely the best horror story that I have ever read/listened to online. The narration is perfect and the voice acting/sound design is all good, with Lynn sounding like a person turned rabid and into a monster, the mother sounding cold and angry, then of course the husband who genuinely just wanted the best for the woman he once loved.
The story does a good job in terms of pacing as it never stays on any one section for too long but still allows the viewer to develop a sense of fear, terror at points, you can see this especially at the beginning when the wife starts to act different as it doesn't stay on it for too long or anything but also allows the viewer to get some idea of just how bad the situation is and it manages to do this rather consistently throughout the story.
The characters are also well crafted in that they do a good job at their respective roles, with the husband believably being just a frightened person who, despite how awful and scary the situation is, still wants the best for who he at least thinks is the woman he once loved. The wife is very intimidating and the idea of a loved one doing that to me and becoming similar to what she does is certainly terrifying and it's shocking as despite not knowing the character for a long time of course, it feels believable that she was once a serious and normal person who you wouldn't expect to do something like this but then she turns into something different entirely. Then there's the mother who, while I do wish there was more info about her, is still good at her role of being the distant parent figure, it's interesting to think about what happened between her and the wife in the past.
My favourite part of the story is without a doubt just how much is left up to personal interpretation, and it helps so much that we can't see what the wife's smile actually looks like, since what I imagine her smile to look like and her peeking out from behind the corners is going to be way scarier for me personally than anything else, it's also interesting to think about what possibly happened between the wife and the mother in the past, considering why exactly the mother may be the way she is. Of course there's also just why the wife turned out this way, whether it's her simply going insane or if she has been possessed, it makes the story so much more compelling on the whole.
9/10
What's cool about this story is that it has multiple possibilities
1) Wife is seriously mentally ill, as evidenced by her switching back and forth between her "personalities" even when talking to rebecca and chris. She was tired from her outbursts. It's unknown whether she is aware or not of what's going on, but her mother seemingly is, and probably had to deal with it during her daughter's childhood
2) Wife is a monster/possessed or just unapologetically crazy and she actually wants to hunt him down for fun, or somehow snapped because her husband told her for years to lighten up. But even then it's strange how animalistic and unable to communicate the monster was, whereas his wife could talk to others, send messages and such, it's clearly not the wife taking a joke too far.
3) That's not the wife. She played along at the start thinking he was making shit up, but there's a lot of reasons to believe it's a separate entity entirely. It peeking, then him finding her asleep in bed, her not adressing anything, showing concerns, supposedly moving away (perhaps even to her mother, who thinks he is treating her like shit and is the one who is going crazy, hence actually telling HIM to seek help), even trying to talk multiple times and seeming distraught. She had bloodshot eyes when she talked to Rebecca, just like the entity, but presumably because she cried at the unexplainable behaviour of her husband. He never once actually tried to verify he was actually meeting up with his wife, and that it wasn't someone else, instead of arranging a meet up in day light, somewhere crowded, to the person sending him the texts. Hell, he didn't even TRY to have a text conversation. Man is bloody haunted by a japanese horror style demon, and maybe the eyes were... for peeking at him? The shattered wedding frame is also symbolic, the lack of footprints around his brother's house was suspicious. That thing wants to destroy their marriage, and it did. Every event between him and the actual wife is a misunderstanding, and in her point of view he's the one going crazy for no reason, perhaps thinking she's guilty for setting him off replying to what she thought was banter by playing along, and not him "going crazy". This is imo the most likely one that the author was trying to convey, but seems like a lot of people took his perception of the events as the truth.
Scenario #3 is the most amazing possibility and I only read the first sentence so far
The 3rd one is highly possible. I know a lot about Japanese folklore. I do recall reading about a Japanese Demonic entity that likes to peek at others with bloodshot eyes without saying anything
I hate sequels but please... write part 2?
I think it’s not the third one because of the “maybe I’ve just gotten better at it” part. I do think it’s the first theory tho, that seems more plausible
These were the three scenarios I thought of too. This is a really great story, and if I had any critique it would be that the build up needed a bit more fleshing out.
From the moment of her first peeking to the time "she" terrorizes him in the bathroom, I felt like we could have used a bit more of a glimpse into their communication. Don't get me wrong, less is usually more in these stories, and leaving the wife's nature up to interpretation is the best move. But if we had a little more description of their life and/or communication, I think it would have added to the enjoyment of speculating over her nature.
As it is, we're left with just barely enough to form theories.
OH man this is definitely a top creepy one- I can't help but think the mother knew and the biggest hint to her 'survival' being her reserved nature which she probably forced herself into being and even if she smiled it's 'thin lipped'. The moment the husband 'encouraged' the creepy ass wifes pranks and peeks by laughing, even if nervous, she became worse.
im glad you liked it! :)
I thought there's going to be a backstory why the wife went crazy, but then the lack of explanation actually made it a lot better than it already is. Great work on retelling the story too!!
The lack of explanation is what hits so hard for me after just getting out of a toxic/emotionally abusive relationship
She was ALWAYS CRAZY.
Backstory for these kind of stories always feel shoehorned in and ruin the realism for me. Some of the scariest things are completely unexplainable or unknown
And see that’s what I didn’t like. I feel like part of it is missing for me.
Stories that keep you guessing are some of the best, it makes it scarier thinking of reasons she's acting like this. Is she the real wife? What does her mother know? Is it mental illness or a demon? Did the husband survive?
4:47 "you creep me out all the time, so now we're even" if this were a real scenario, why didn't he ask what she meant by that? I bet she is also seeing him smiling at her and looking around corners
Just sounded like teasing to me.
I thought it was all in his head for a while, or there was some kind of mimic in his house. I really wanna know what’s up with her. I kind of hope it isn’t just an exorcism or some thing that needs to be done. That feels too easy.
I thought she was referencing how he’s always been into horror media.
@@petermiller5789 That was what I had assumed as well but I like the idea that shes seeing the same events, although I dont believe it to be the case Its still a creepy and cool twist
He describes looking at her while she's sleeping after the island in the kitchen incident, and staring out the door crack, etc. I know he's doing it as it's being told because he's looking for her but as someone who was peeked on through a vent in the ceiling by my drug induced psychosis ex who said I was watching him or whatever, it felt like pay back since it started after so many years. I was so mad at my ex for all the accusations of spying on him or recording him or cheating on him that drug psychosis delusions cause I started one night straight up recording him and winking at him cuz I was so fucking mad I wanted him to see what it'd really be like if I was doing the insane things he was claiming. I'm like if I wanted you dead trust me you'd be long gone you're really insulting me and making me sick and terrified. I took our daughter and we live in different states now. This is hell.
This story is amazing. The bittersweet reveal of other people seeing that his wife is not well contrasted with the realization that this is no hallucination.
Saying this before I even finish listening to the story, If your husband or wife starts creeping on you like this no matter how weird or playful they usually are it's probably a good idea to head for the hills and file for divorce from a great distance. Nothing good will come from it.
Yeah, I'd have run out of the house and called a lawyer the moment my spouse crawls away on all fours 😅
Naw, I've been with my husband 15+ years. I don't care what is wrong with him. If he lost his legs, arms, or mind I would NEVER run. I'd do whatever it took to get him the help he needed. I can't say I'm afraid of much. Surely not mental illness in the person I love. I'd be right there for him. Sickness and in health.
@@lastcaress1314 same your a good wife, hope your marriage last the rest of your lives
Nah. It really depends, sometime scaring each other can be fun. Just maybe not on this level
@@straighter100 I hate crawling. So much. I’d have booked it there and then!!
Also the obligatory no I’m bit scared of babies, normal crawling like that is fine, I just don’t like unnatural crawling like bear crawling or crawling too fast. (For some reason people jump to babies crawling right away :/ )
Can’t help but get the feeling this story was inspired by the grudge movie. The sounds the wife made, the long black hair, only seeing her eyes not her whole face, moving on all 4. She definitely gave kayako vibes
The croaking noises were put in by the narrator not the actual author though. The author describes it as hiccuping. I did think it sounded exactly like the grudge though😂
@@sammykane5967 The description of hiccuping works better than croaking in this context, at least I think so. Hearing the sounds a jubilant toddler would make while waiting for a bowl of ice cream to be set in front of them emitting from a blood-soaked woman sounds terrifying.
Smash that divorce button.
haha xD
LIKE A BOSS!!!
It's 3am and this just made me laugh at full volume 🤣🤣
Me personally even if I saw her doing that once I'ma fake sleep to make her go and in the day WOOP WOOP THATS THE SOUND OF THE POLICE I'm not staying with her if I see that
She was just horney but her husband was too beta to recognize.
So just smash the wife not the divorce.
It’s stories like this with, no supernatural elements … just plain everyday reality, that make these stories so darn creepy. The idea that one day a switch just flipped in the wife’s head and she so readily embraced her crazy and in turn terrorized her husband gave me major goosebumps. I’ll definitely be using a nightlight tonight.
I wouldn't say no supernatural elements... there's implications that the Wife could be demonically possessed, what with the mom emphasizing "Professional Help" and the Friend joking about getting an exorcist.
However, the difference is its not explicitly confirmed that possession is what's happening. It's left up to interpretation what's wrong.
Recently saw that Smile movie and that creeped me out a ton. This was just as unsettling. That "Maybe I've gotten better at it" line made me immediately paranoid. 😅
yes was lookiing for these comments
It reminded me of the part in the movie where she was on the phone with the security company and the operator said “are you sure you didn’t let anything in?”
this reminded me of that movie. A genuine smile from a friend that enjoys your company or a joke that gets a laugh is very different from the smile of the guy with a knife or someone who plans to do you harm. It turns a positive idea into the most horrific thing you've ever seen

Too tier comment xD
Top tier comment xD
Let's write this 😆
i'd read that version.
This story really shakes me to the bone. It's not just because of how detailed things are, but because someone you can hold so dearly and close, a person who is your comfort can become your worst fear. Excellent story telling man
I don’t understand why this one went SO HARD! I find more then 80% of these stories boring but the interpretation that the writer left for us was perfect. It’s never explained because it didn’t have to be. Made this so good! Not to mention his presentation and sound effects he used. This was very well done.
What do you think is the correct interpretation? Was she insane? Possessed more something took over to imitate his wife?
@@jackcalkins4232 the best thing about this story is that there is no correct interpretation. I think that any of it is possible but I like to think that something was imitating his wife because that is what I find most terrifying.
@@unnstoppablefury building on that: the thing imitating her WAS her, but it no longer is. You try to get them back, but they are a new person (or “thing”) unwilling to go back to the one you fell in love with. It’s a toxic and emotionally abusive relationship. In the end, his trauma lives on with him, always thinking about who she became and how she could have done this. That’s my interpretation but once I read a comment saying it’s a toxic relationship metaphor it totally clicked after just getting out of a bad one that’s torn me a new one, mentally speaking.

@@nothingnewunderthesun4292 how did you respond to her after finding out all the info?
this creepypasta was actually pretty good. it kept the whole question of if she's possessed or if she's insane and I loved it.
i also thought she was possessed. Maybe ever since she was little, that’s why her mom probably knows something
I thought the protag was actualy halucinating at first
Im so glad the ending was left unresolved, a lot of horror stories tend to go for weird supernatural stuff which waters down the realism or the ability for it to be believable. amazing job by the writer, and amazing voice acting as well!
This one got me 😐. Can’t wait for the animated version. It’ll be one of the scariest ones. This could be a great movie. These also scared me pretty good. A few mentions.
1.”You’re going to notice a woman in your home, you must ignore her.”- (Has short film).
2. “My dog was lost for three days. What came back wasn’t my dog.”
3. “My brother died when I was a child and he kept talking.”
4. “We buried the only key with my sister. Now her old room is locked from the inside.”
5.”If you wake up at 3:33am, don’t look outside.”
Omg I know the first 3, I couldn’t stop thinking about the first one for daaays
@@raquelcan787 One of the best ever made. Was honestly afraid to leave my room or use the bathroom and even sleep. I made the mistake of listening to it home alone at night. 😆
Where can I see the animated ones?
@@nikolaiwulff I'm dying to know too!! If you find out please let me know, if I find them I will let you know. The way they talk about the stories it sounds like it's gonna be a good watch
@@johnvalencia1797 me too! It scared me good, I loved it lol
I've listened to creepypastas off and on since I first discovered them when I was 17 or 18. I haven't found one that has made me pause and dread listening further before. The scene in the shower and the bit under the bed... this actually freaked me out so much I'm paranoid.
damn good job to both narrator and writer. 😮😅
She sounds delightful, I can't believe he didn't appreciate her unique gifts, just imagine how helpful household chores could be with that ability to slink and crawl
Lol
12:47 "I told him Lin and I had a fight, but didn't get into the details."
OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD
Why do these protagonists always have such a psychotic refusal to communicate with others? Literally too stupid to live.
YESSS !! I was like brother call an ambulance or police u dont have to be the hero husband
ONG every time they get a chance to explain, they never do! it would be the first thing i do even if i sound crazy to others, and with his wife running around being crazy it shouldnt be hard to prove!
They have to do it for the lore 😂
this is the only instance of that trope i feel actually makes sense, go ahead and say out loud from the protagonist's perspective what happened and i guarantee it will sound like you're describing someone playing a prank on you
even saying something like "she's been doing this for days" or "she was there for an hour" sounds like exaggeration to most people, and the protagonist's brother seems like the type to not take anything seriously so i'm guessing it would be the same outcome no matter what was said
but everyone's a critic yknow
It's realistic though. Try telling someone something like this and watch their reaction. It will be dismissive because no one wants to deal with your shit and just want to get rid of the responsibility of dealing with you
Dude, literally perfect timing. I'm about to go to sleep, can't wait to listen to this! Definitely looking forward to that 5 hour video!
I hope you have a good night! :D
No one would be watching you tonight :D
@@rift6126 I’m currently inside your house :D
I tried to watch this while going to sleep but I can’t sleep now😅
It's rare nowadays that I actually get creeped out by a creepypasta. Props to the writer and to you for the amazing voice work!
Probably because this is a /r/nosleep story rather than a creepypasta. Higher overall quality.
I need a sequel or something.
What happened to the wife? Was she possessed? Does she have a condition? The mom obviously knows. Also, part of me feels bad for the husband. Dude just wanted his wife back :/
Same...it seems unfinished in a lot of ways.
I do think it would make an excellent movie though
Thought the same things.
it's tagged as a series on reddit, but there's only one part so far
@@melissa171799 Do you have a link to the reddit post?
This is genuinely the most terrifying thing I’ve ever heard. I usually listen to your videos while I try to sleep but this one has me wide awake. Well done
Some spoilers ahead:
WOW! This was an amazing story, not many stories make me paranoid but this one did. I had the theory that maybe it was something imitating the wife- because of how she mentioned “you creep me out all the time too” at the beginning. Maybe she was seeing her husband peek at her from around corners too 👀 Then the way she acted confused after he ran out, not understanding why. Perhaps when he had gone back to the house her car wasn’t there because the real her went to go seek support from friends, which left whatever was imitating her in the house - free to do whatever (like put eyeballs in the closet)
Just thoughts. Hope there is a second part written!
I thought the same
That’s a good one, to add a little bit to your theory what if it’s there doppelgänger and what if they need to feed off there fear before being able to kill then and maybe that’s what also happened to the mother in law she was killed by her doppelgänger and that’s why she’s so cold and that’s why Chris wife saw her being normal and maybe the same thing also will happen to the wife maybe she’ll also go to the house and find her “husband” in the same state
Or she was always watching him and doing that and he never noticed. Which would be somehow even more terrifying than it is
I'm not sure something is imitating her cuz the mother knew
29:28 - Dude, I was so into this story that I literally reacted to this moment aloud, like I was the husband: "Chris, do you frickin' believe me now? She's out of her goddamn mind!"
I’m glad this is just audio, there’s no way I’d be able to watch it fully if it was a movie. This is definitely one of the most terrifying creepy pastas I’ve read/heard. And I’ve listened to and read MANY of them in my spare time.
I listen to A LOT of creepy pastas, and none of them have scared me as much as this one! This was terrifying in the best way! And the narration was SPOT on! Well done!
Woooooow- this has been one of ONLY FEW stories that ACTUALLY GOT TO ME! Bravo! You did excellent narrating for this ghastly story, shudders. Doesn’t help that i’ve seen someone that was possessed & i’d swear the writer has experienced similar situation because that’s exactly like the aura around them shudders.
This is a good reason to own a gun.
Care to tell your story?
Turned off my lights for a good story, and 10 minutes in I had all the lights on with my back to the wall
Listened with my Irish husband and he's like, "Oh! A changeling."
Mmm my thoughts exactly 😂 bet her mom is like that because lynn did that to her (the mom) for her (lynn’s) entire childhood.
They are scary good actors to, she sure had Ben fooled.
when I first read this on reddit, I was genuinely uncomfortable and had physical reactions to certain parts. one of my favorite NoSleep posts. can't wait to hear it!!
See, animals peeking around corners is adorable. People peeking around corners is creepy, especially if they don't say anything. This was a really well written creepy story, I like how it gives you just enough clues to create some theories, but not enough to definitively prove anything. I definitely feel like the mother in law knew something, the way she was so dismissive was really suspicious.
My wife went through a blood curdling screaming episode. She would go in and out of demonic screaming while pacing frantically around the house, reminded me of the witch from Left 4 Dead. When she would come out of her screaming fits she would manically ramble on how she's fighting the urge to lose control then would go back into a screaming episode. None the less I called the police/ambulance while holding her down to keep her from hurting herself. It was wild, ended up she accidentally took one too many Wellbutrin within 24 hours thinking it would help her mood more. The hospital administered a drug that counteracts the effects of Wellbutrin and she came down after 30 mins to an hour.
My ex-gf introduced herself to me on a public bus, twice starting the convo in two times meeting each other over two months, separate occasions. The second time I asked her out on a date & from then on, we got together very quickly.
One day, maybe around 2 months or a bit less into us being together, she shows me a video on her phone. I see myself sitting in said public bus, being filmed from a seat looking the opposite way but around 4 rows of seats down from my own. The camera followed me a bit outside even and when I walked out of view, not once even looking into its direction, the video stopped.
I obviously was baffled, but importantly, I looked at the date: the video was taken two whole years before she had even talked to me once.
So she admitted by herself to filming me on that day and from then on, having s**ual fantasies about me / us for over two years before finally talking to me. Now it’s about what she did after filming me, for the whole two years she had been „watching“ or „observing“ me ;
she would start writing down when / where I‘d get off / on the bus and sometimes run or wait for an earlier / later bus to see me as often as possible, (which means she‘d sometimes wait for half an hour up to an hour because the bus line only drives this frequent, just to eventually see me), she was able to describe my friends well enough for me to know exactly who she saw me with, she would frequent spots or places in the city more often when / if she saw me there, especially multiple times, like in the library, lastly she would mirror me, if I was waiting for the train on one side of the tracks, she would basically stand face to face to me, vis-a-vis and when I would walk she’d do the same on the opposite side
all of the above for two years from the first day she had seen me on said bus, until talking to me at all
And again that’s just what she admitted by herself. Also she kept admitting to say one detail of the above, then check for my reaction, even being amused at my surprise etc, then reveal something new, so I found out about all details in the period of 1-2 weeks of her telling me bit by bit
Good luck...
@@nothingnewunderthesun4292well…that’s terrifying. I hope you’re safe from this person.
@@lilscenechick1995 In fact I miss her dearly since 4 years
@@nothingnewunderthesun4292don't worry she probably filming u without u knowing
This is seriously the most disturbing story ive heard yet. I'm only 13 minutes in and I can say I have literally never felt this uncomfortable. This is literal gold
you gotta listen to one of his new ones man its calles something like "my dad finally told me the truth" that is by far the best one i have listened to it scared the shit outta me
@@BeBetterMotivation26 Ill have to check that out! does anyone narrate it on yt?
just realized my new biggest fear is being watched. I’m listening to this at 3 am and I’m usually fine with laying in the dark listening to these but I couldn’t help glancing under my door and bed every chance I got and I had the lights on. Terrifying.
Same at the shower bit I turned my phones flashlight on
She’s just standing there… menacingly!
I can’t remember the last time I got this freaked out from a horror story. You did an amazing job. The narration, music, and overall sound design was top notch.
Now, if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go turn on all my lights, check every possible hiding place in my house.
This is the first creepypasta that’s ever truly hooked me on a premise I had no idea the outcome of, then proceeded to give me no answers but still keep me satisfied. Glorious writing. Also having Chris see the eyeballs and react realistically and having the both of them believe him is a refreshing change in horror
Oh this is as creepy as it gets! Simple premise that feels so uncanny and haunting yet completely relatable. Thank you for this! Love it!
I was half asleep when I began listening to this story... I'm wide awake now. I love all things horror, and I'm somewhat of a horror veteran, but this...this chilled me.
Oh boy, this is genuinely terrifying and just what I needed; I tend to take breaks from scary stories bc it's tiring to listen to them all the time and this is literally the best story to get back into the swing of things. Strong and scary oof😭
This was abseloutley horrifying, i consider myself a seasoned veteran when it comes to horror. Watched probably a thousand different creepy pastas No problem, but this one actually made me paranoid and afraid to sleep.
Gonna need to watch a disney movie after this lmao
honestly same
Hey man, hope all is well with you. Your narrations have been super important to me for quite some time helped me through a phase of my life filled with addiction and I hope everything is okay with you.
Thank you so much! :) yeah things are good! Just been working on some really long videos :D
The fact that bro “thought” he saw her before going back in the house with his brother but then played it off as imagination fucks with me heavily, like no bro you saw her and she saw y’all, then she booked it upstairs and under the bed and waited, that’s some freaky shit man, also the way he told this story was absolutely phenomenal, I listened to it while driving home and I stg I panicked every time I looked in any of the mirrors, truly scared the manliness straight from my body, kudos to you my guy you did Ana amazing job and I hope you keep it up, definitely subscribing to this channel to listen to more
P.S. this was the first video I ever watched/ listened to on this channel, I’m praying that there’s more like this one when it comes to the scare factor 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Honestly, I have never gotten this scared at night listening to a nosleep Reddit story since they would always be a way for me to sleep. But, your narration as superb as it always is has got my heart racing and my eyes open wide. Keep up the good work man!
I listen to your channel as a form of bedtime stories. Something I can doze off to, and when I can't sleep because of insomnia, it keeps me entertained. The other night in bed I had my boyfriend listen with me because the title sounded fun and we often talk about marriage and do prank eachother. At the end he was terrified and made me promise to never do the wide eye smile, and I had to cuddle him to sleep. Guess we found a fear? Amazing story, I loved it and it scared the hell out of my boyfriend
Thats evil, do it again
Best NoSleep story I've read. No matter how many times I re-read it, it never gets less scary, especially the bathroom part.
The other scary part is "maybe I've just gotten better at it," there would've been so much pee in my pants if I was in that moment, and I heard that from her. So much. I would've dipped faster than Doritos.
It's one of my favorites :)
i think its a masterpiece up until the end where its just devolves into some generic exorcist crap. the first like 70% is gauntly creepy though when i first started listening it was on my phone and i did see the "creepy pasta" part of the title so i thought this was an actual account of someones experience which made it even creepier. even if it is just a story its really well done
32:05 - absolutely AhhhMazing!!
Especially with the violin music creating such a hauntingly beautiful ambience for this scene in the story. 🖤🖤🖤
As someone with a very deep-rooted yet specific fear of things peeking out from around corners, this was especially hard to get through - Great story though and brilliant narration as always!!
same
Out of the probably thousands of creepy stories I’ve listened to every night this one seriously was the most disturbing by far! It irked me to my core very creepy. What a masterpiece
Me before listening: awesome, a nice long one to help me fall asleep.
Me after listening: great, now that the sun is up I can try the whole sleeping thing again.
Damn, this was a good one. 😅
glad you liked it :)
@@Darksomnium is there a part 2
@@somerandomperson5473 The writer from the Reddit post this was read from said she will write a second part but just needs the time and space to sit down and do so. No timetable arm as far as I could find.
Idk why people think the sun is gonna make a difference. In fact, something happening during noon in a quiet house is way more terrifying than something in a quiet house at night.
@@vankristlabs fear of the dark is linked to our dna as a survival mechanism, it’s in all of us. 🤷🏻♀️
"Maybe I've just gotten better at it."
Chills. Absolute chills. That frightened me in a way no story has in a long time.
I’m surprise this Wasn’t trending…. this was the most beautiful story I’ve ever heard.
eerie, & realistic a light banger I love scary stories like these that everyone can relate to it starts so nonchalant but ends so TERRIFYING
aw thank you so much
@@Darksomnium HEYYYYYY SOMNIUM ❤️❤️❤️ luh u dawggg ❤️❤️ this channel brings me happiness keep the scary stories coming… I hope to see you number one trending someday 😊
What beautiful bro this was straight up terrifying
When i read the title I thought theres no way this story could be that creepy, and it would just be a mild story. But holy fuck I think this is the most creeped out I have been from one of your stories for a while! The creepy voice, the sfx, the terrifying music, with the loud static sounding parts, it really got me invested to the point of me feeling like the main character and feeling that dread and fear. Good fucking job on this one man like seriously. It was well worth the wait. Please never stop making these videos!
Fr like holy shit omg
This has to be one of the most terrifying stories I've heard.
I don't know why but I felt very uncomfortable the whole time.
Love it !
Excellent story and perfect narration of it. I found your channel two or so days ago and I’ve binged numerous hours worth of your videos. The SFX, the music (the music in the climax of this one was amazing), the VA, your voice, the effort you and others put in, everything makes your videos the most enjoyable and entertaining to tune into.
I really love the build up to the signs of possession - and it wasn't even pointed out like most stories would. "Professional help" obviously meant an exorcist. Great story. Loved every second of it.
Definitely, I called possession when things started getting really crazy. I don't think she's just crazy, a lot of this story had a supernatural angle to it.
That was really, REALLY, good. Very well narrated, the story was explained using lots of descriptors, allowing the listener to, very easily, imagine in their minds-eye, each scene. These usually don't creep me out and I think bc most of these stories(at least the ones I've come across, are generally not realistic or easily possible... there's an air of fantasy... but this one was simple...succinct, and not too fantastical... shit like this could and does happen, I'm sure... where the person, for whatever reason, begins acting out, batshit crazy for no apparent reason. Very creepy. Well done
I got to admit it...this was the scariest creepypasta I have ever heard! The pacing was steady, and invoked a sense of terror based in reality. Great read...I'm gonna listen to it again!
This is one of my favorite stories of all time. On one of my favorite channels of all time. Thank you so much Dark for all you do!
That story is definitely creepy! You narrated it so well that I could actually picture this whole story unfolding as if I were watching a movie! NOW THAT'S how narrating should be done. Bravo! 👏
Thank you so much!
Gotsta hand it to a wife who knows how to creep out her husband.
I’ve heard about husbands who pull off that sort or stuff, but not wives. Seems as if there was a Melissa Gilbert/Bruce Boxleitner did a movie about that. Then there was Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte.
throughout my years of listening to creepypastas this one is by far the scariest one, 100%, no doubt, hands down. Also, the way you narrate it, it feels so real dude. well done, you are so much better than the other narrators that I've heard.✊
Thank you :)
Been waiting for this upload to tell you I freaking LOVE your channel 👏👏
thank you so much!
A story hasn’t given me full on chills in a long time. I’ll be paranoid tonight thinking I’ll see something peeking at me.
