Also, I love how Night Vale defines ghosts in this and the Ghost Stories live show. The phrase "Hiking trails are ghosts" is going to stick with me in a wonderful way.
A Story About () has been my favourite arching story, back from "you" all the way back in the teens. I've slept deeply and soundly to the story of "them", and even had some of my best days wound down to the sound of Huntokar. I genuinely am so happy to come back to the series after a long. Long time coming, and a long homecoming. Thank you, WTNV team.
the title and art of this episode filled me with such apprehension and dread I went and bought merch instead this financial decision brought to you by: fear! much like everything else in life!
I just... love this episode so much. I don't even want to think about it too hard. I just want to sit on it for a while and let it seep into my bones. Leave it to Night Vale to keep Abby's voice from us for over 200 episodes and then drop with such an impact. Okay, one thought entered my brain after all when I listened to a bit again just now: that the sound of Abby's "rain" might just be radio static.
HOLY SHIT!!! OKAY. well. so many things to unpack here. one. i almost started crying when i saw the title and thumbnail. two. i am loving the voice for abby good gracious. and three. jesus christ this gives us so much more lore. i'll unpack it all when i don't have to be at school tomorrow.
I love Ashlie Atkinson as Abby! Wow, her voice tells a story in itself before she even starts spelling out the lore. Wonderful casting choice and what a powerful episode. I hope we get to hear more from her someday.
This episode is amazing. I love the voice for Abby. Been wondering so much about her. I would love to hear a lot more from her perspective too. Also this episode (in a way) is almost what it's like to have a father that is alive but has never really been present in your life. Definitely feels like a ghost of something you know existed at the very beginning but can quite remember it, just the feelings that it was once there, but never was again.
@@capn_toad So did I so I'm listening to that episode again right now. Problem is I take melatonin to sleep and it messes with memory. I might have to finish in the morning. Thank you for reminding me and trying to get things to click in my brain, I'm doing my due diligence now to make it stick. Have a wonderful night!
I think this episode was based upon reality for many of us although in different ways and intensities. We all go through questioning our parental and sibling relationships at some point and the best advice I can give you is to let the past be the past and make peace with it and STOP trying to make things "better" by over thinking it.
WOW. This was an absolutely amazing episode. I kept putting off catching up (having last heard 245) since this seemed important and I wanted to be focused and boy was I right o.o It's so insane finally hearing Abby. It's also kind of nice to hear that she has a lower voice, since you don't see a lot of low voiced women in media :'). I appreciate it as one myself
I think the weather is areference to 'A Story About Us'. The guitar in the beginning is the same as that of Space and Time, which is the weather of A Story About Us.
I might be crazy, but was there a year 4 throwback here? 18:20: "The separation between worlds is not a veil, but mud." And then, all the way back in episode 89: "There is a cavern, Cecil. I was taken there. The ground is covered in mud. You walk through the mud, in the darkness, because you think there must be something else. But there is never anything else. For years, you walk through the mud." Is the place the Beagle Puppy put everyone, the place that made them all Strangers, a space between worlds?
I think this might be my new favorite episode of the show. Abby's clearly a tough as nails badass big sister. What an incredible avalanche of lore.
Gotta love it when the file name makes it into the title!
Well, that ended up being significantly less horrifying than I thought it would be based on the thumbnail. It was just normal horrifying 😁

"get your creepy butt ready for summer" Damn I burst my colostomy bag laughing..
the horror
Emotions and weirdness dialed up to the max. Night Vale at its finest

WHY AM I SOBBING
I swear to Smiling God if Cecil doesn't remember soon I'm gonna cry
Well I don't feel pressured at all now 😮💨
Cheers 👍
I've been obsessed with Abby since we first learned of her. We learned and heard about her family, but never enough of her. Such a wonderful voice.

I was hoping for answers, and came away with more questions… I really should expect this feeling by now

This….might be yalls’ best episode yet.
This was so moving, and I LOVE Abby’s voice!!!
love the way this podcast keeps showing a new perspective that changes the context of things from so many seasons ago.
Naaaah because hearing this after 'The Attic' liveshow makes SO MUCH SENSE and it's so heartbreaking

i've been listening to you guys for so many years but you still get me sometimes. Excuse me while I lay down and have a light existential crisis.
This is an episode I'll listen to twice in a row, this show is always great!
The art is perfect too.
he already forgot. this was from last episode, remember? abby explained during scrabble. and then he forgot.

The most messed up thing of the whole episode is that Abby is a Taylor Swift fan 😭

I don't think any episode ever hit me like this
A calamity of Abbys!! 😫
A fantastic episode, and an amazing job done by Ashlie!
I feel like Abby is a real person. Damn this is wonderful. Good for Abby for growing so much
😮
The story I never thought I’d hear
ABBY？？！？？？！？ OMG ABBY ITS ABBY
Thank you for all of your creative content 🙏 Big fan of Random Horror 9 as well
I love the concept and description about what ghosts are. Haunting and poignant.
Thus episode made me tear up at work god
I think the weather is areference to 'A Story About Us'. The guitar in the beginning is the same as that of Space and Time, which is the weather of A Story About Us.
love you guys
What the fuck. This is going to haunt me for the next few years /pos Amazing performance!!!
wow, the weather is lovely tonight isn't it?
WOW
I might be crazy, but was there a year 4 throwback here?

Sounds like their father is Waldo.
What an amazing episode as always! ^^ A L L H A I L.
Huh, was not expecting Abby to sound like that. Though I guess I don't have many expectations of what anyone sounds like until they speak...
I AM THE NUMBER 1 ABBY DEFENDER
That weather CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD
What is the music between 22::30 minutes and 26:00 minutes???
It's listed in the video description, and Meg credits it in the outro.
I was caught by surprise by the swearing. Lol
Wait where was the swearing? I guess i didn't even notice lol
@@thelastmoonchild. Abby says shit at 12:05 and fuck at 26:35
IT'S HAPPENING IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Swearing? In MY Nightvale?
what did you mean by "cursing"???
abby said fuck
@@kerinknever thought I’d here that here
First? OOH.
