Turn on the Dark.
The creepypasta drinking game: take a shot everytime the main character dismisses a bad feeling and continues to do something stupid.
This has got to be one of my personal favourite stories from Mike W. A wonderful narration and a chilling tale that never fails to give me the creeps. Well done!
Of all the readers on this genre I've heard from, you remain one of my favorites. You usually lull a person into a very relaxed state as they take in the story....and the resulting suckerpunch of where the story turns scary is all the more potent for it.
Magnificent work, and consistently done. I hope to one day be able to boast the same skill.
This is my favorite scary story ever, and you did it justice with your narration. Thank you!
Wow this was such a good scary story! At the end when he heard the screeching sound louder than ever before, my heart started racing & when you said he didn't have to open his eyes to know where it was coming from,it was coming from inside the tent, I got chills all over!
Awesome job narrating this Otis! I know it's an older one but I'm glad I ran across it for sure!!
What a horrifying visual. legs facing the fire and torso/head facing the tent. It's shit like this is why I don't go camping.
Otis is my favorite narrator I've come back to for now over 8 years
Thanks for another narration of one of my stories, Otis. You do such fantastic work. I loved listening to this as it's one no other narrator has tried yet. Thanks again.
~ Mike
I was chilled the bone despite the heater doing its job, excellent tale, the description of the thing was unnerving.. I felt sorry for the rob but the moral was sound, thank you for writing this and a thank you to Otis for the Ace reading.
Ghastly Tales Hear, hear!
You're a really talented writer mike, your stories always draw me in and keep me on the edge of my seat
What do I have to do that u narrate my horror stories?
So who knew Roberts story? Was the ghastly figure telling the story? Cause that'd be neat.
Another home run with story and narration but then again i could listen to Mr Jiry read a phone book lol.
I love this story, and I love your narration of it Otis. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve listened to it 😊💕
Which further lerts me know I need never,ever,ever, need to go into the woods.Ever!
I agree with you guys he does sound like Morgan Freeman & with his tone makes a perfect storyteller. I love listening to you do the stories. Thank you Mr. Jiry
nice job ,that is nothing new! I prefer your slower narations but this was wonderful as always! You are world class!
Had me in cold sweat for most of the piece. I'll have trouble sleeping now XD
Now after listening to the story I would love to see it filmed, but only if it was made without stupid movie cliches and stupid jump scare tricks, just the tense atmosphere of an empty and quiet countryside
I like the longer stories best
One of the best narrators around. Chilling Tales for Dark Nights ace.
Love this! I just discovered your channel today after your most recent video was uploaded by mrcreepypasta and I just love your voice! So I'm continuing to go back through all your videos from newest to oldest so glad I found you!
Michael Whitehouse always delivers with his stories. Great job with the narration as always Otis!
+PeacefulJoint Thank you!
Great narration once again! Creepy story too!
I know this video is very old, with the most recent comment being 6 months ago, but I just wanted to get out how I feel about this video. (Warning, long read.)
I’ve been a fan of Otis Jiry for about two years now, I only was obsessed for like a month, bite after exhausting his catalogue of stories 20+ minutes, I sorta just lost interest in watching his other videos, and have just rewatched his other videos a lot. I discovered him through a “good creepypasta” playlist on RUclips, and thought his voice sounded good, so I watched his other videos first, Saving this for later.
But when I finally got to this story, I noticed a strange phenomenon. My brain just cannot focus on this story. I don’t mean “this story is just so relaxing,” or anything, I mean it’s like my brain tunes the story out. Whenever I’m studying or writing a paper, I turn on this video, knowing that it’ll help me focus better. I have not experienced this with any of his other work, and honestly, it freaks me out a little how weirdly this story affects my concentration.
Spectacular story and narration...
Best narrator ever a voice box only matched by.. Morgan Freeman
Otis jiry. Magic
I can't even tell you how much I love to hear you tell a story! I'm such a huge fan!
This story started scarying me so badly with just the one description. Feet facing the fire... Hell nah!! Knew this guy was finished but didn't realize the other thing he had taken. But he should have gone home way earlier
Otis your voice is 100% comforting.xx
Thanks I was at the edge of my seat. You have to be the best story teller out there honestly. Thank you again.
Softly h^
I tried listening to other story tellers but honestly I just end up comparing them to Otis Jiry. Im hooked and you now have to keep reading stories so i can get through work day.
I had heard this before and couldn't remember the name. Glad I happened to find the video again, one of my favorites.
Well that was intense
The narration reminds me of the guy that used to narrate the old Wonderful World of Disney one hour wildlife stories that used to run weekly in the early '70's. Absolutely LOVED IT!!! Thank you, sir. Completely captivating! 💕👏
Once again, you did a great reading Mr. Jiry!
the realization that the unmoving shadow figure in front of the fire was staring directly at him but from a quick look it looks like its facing the fire and minding its business-
actual chills, god thats fucking horrifying
Otis you're a genius. haha I really really enjoy your readings both on your own channel and on CTFDN. Really great stuff!
Absolutely wonderful
Such a bad idea to listen to before a hiking trip :(.
Yes :(
What an awesome story!! A perfect blend of ancient evil. human error and suspense. Thank you!😍
Thanks, Otis!🖤
Wow I just listened to you these past few years. You have clearly up'd your game with new equipment. This is an older one and your actual voice catches the story that pulls me in. Glad I found it!
Bravo, good story and great narration.
I love this story, I've probably listened to Michael narrate it at LEAST 50 times. I had no idea you'd done this one! Time to give your version 50 listens!
One of my all time favorite stories! Enthralling!
I hadn't heard that story in a long time. I like your telling of it better. If not mistaken the original or version I heard placed them in 1930s or so. Thanks
Reran this tale. Fabulous x
what is the monster in this? Whenever I hear about a new creature I always want to know everything about it - not so I can defend myself - cos I "don't believe in that" *laughs nervously*
Wow what a story hats off to Mr Whitehouse and although it was a long 1 your narration made it impossible to stop. So how do you become Robert or so many others characters in your story telling career how do you prepare mentally and what are your methods thank q again MasterJiry
Is this thing based on an actual legend? The way it was twisted around sounds...significant.
Bluesit32 Shia laboeuf xD
Great Power Now that's funny.
:D
+Great Power hahaha beautiful. thank ya
Good goosebumpy story, and the reader is excellent. Tho I kept expecting him to say "We'll keep the light on for ya." haha.
+Nancy Myself Do I really sound like that? LOL
+Otis Jiry's Creepypasta Crypt
I remember the line from long ago, but had to google it. Tom Bodett ad-libbed the phrase for a motel chain advertisement.Your warm tone just makes me think of his voice. So even when you're saying something terrible, its just slightly comforting! haha
Absolutely brilliant story read by the one and only Otis jiry from Portia ritchie and David child avid fans of Otis jiry
To be fair, humans can make some pretty weird sounds.
Also, 10/10 get rekt Robert.
10/10 get rekt Robert
WTF does that even mean???
Lucky Vine Probably a comment about how Robert's actions in the beginning caused his own troubles; although that spirit was kind of a dick. :P
The ten out of ten is likely a compliment about the well-written tale.
he needs some milk!
I used to go to University in the area he describes (same region as Aberfoyle which is mentioned in the story). I had a very strange experience on a country road there at night.
I love your stories Otis.
Otis I sometimes have a hard time listening to the stories you read because your voice is so soothing. Made me think Id love to hear you read a spoof on "go the fuck to sleep" narrated by Samuel L Jackson.
"he heard a crack again...it was definite" me: Run bitch run!
Oooh! I’m so glad to have found this channel! Excellent narration!
The entire time I'm listening to this, I keep thinking... "Bigfoot?"
Oh, wonderful! Thank you! Reminds me of "Dracula's Guest" by Stoker, my favorite scary story ever. Any chance of you ever narrating that tale, Mr. Jiry?
It's on the back burner
Otis you are my favourite!!!!!
The story was ok the reading was great.
Damn nice story and an excellent reading. Thank you.
what do you perfer? First person narration or third person narration? I like third person.
It was so well written that anyone else reading it would be injustice.
Its gotten to the point that I have trouble sleeping if I don't listen to one of these before bed. I fear I may be boned when I've listened to all of these older videos.
***** Not to worry, we'll keep them coming :) Bless you.
Otis is the best 👍
this one is really good!
Love ye Otis 💋
That was awesome
you just gained a new sub love you're voice :)
Your voice and narration makes this creepy as hell. Kinda like the narrator from the Stanley Parables, like you know something that we don't...
Good one!
Outstanding as always 💕
That was good!
A very amusing tale for car drivers who have that personal and intimate hate towards bycicle users on highways.
Awww. I thought he was going to make it. I love the story though
nice spoiler alert
Let's get Jiry,mon
Uh if I was uneasy for days I would not go for a bike ride I would just go straight home probably days before the main character attempted to. What in the world
So um... how did this guy know Roberts story if he was um... never seen again.
RETURN THE SLAB
I wish you'd read something like Jaws or alien
I love the narrarating, I was getting into the story , until dumb me started reading afew comments while ,I was just sitting on my porch grandkids settled,we I wish I hadn't cus no hating on any other person but sometimes ,,I know it's my fault BUT ,WHEN YOU HAVE ALREADY LISTENED TO THE STORY YOU KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENED ALREADY but a couple like to tell what the creature is or isn't and , it kinda ruined it for me but if the story wasn't as good I would have turned it off,,thats like telling people the end of a movie ,great story , I guess I have no one to blame but me
Otis your voice gets me lost in any story. Cuddose man cuz I have the attention span of a rodent
Fucking creepy shit.
Nice enjoyable little horror story let down just a fraction by geography.There isnt anywhere in mainland Britain 3 days ride from civilization.I wish there was.Unfortunately you bump into people everywhere.
Hi Brian. I wrote this, and I come from Scotland. I would say it depends on the terrain and if you are exploring or not, like Robert is in the story. Also, he is deliberately taking routes to avoid towns and villages, which is absolutely possible in some areas in Scotland. I think there is also the suggestion that he is doubling back on himself in places. I will admit though, I have exaggerated the distances to heighten his journey into the unknown, but all of the places I describe here exist in real life. I've been to them all. Interestingly, the story itself comes from an experience I actually had wild camping in Queen Elizabeth forest. There was a strange noise which seemed to get closer to my camp each night, and while it was probably an animal I've never heard before, it became the jumping off point for Off the Beaten Path.
Thanks for commenting :)

Hi Micheal,
I did have a good think about the geography of Scotland,& yes there are some very remote places.I was being a little pedantic.I really enjoyed the story,& it was genuinely creepy and atmospheric in places.It reminded me of an old early 80's tv series called West Country Tales.Thanks for responding and i'll keep an eye out for more of your stories.
All the Best
Brian
OMG you legit sound like Morgan Freeman AHAHHAHHAAHHA SO COOL
+Alisa Tran That has been brought up previously by 'one or two' folks who have had a listen :)
pitch perfect....
👍👍💜💙
You sound nothing like an iconic aging black man. No offense. I just don't hear it. Great read, tho.
Umm I never claimed I do, however the many viewers here dubbed me that:)
Well now,that I listened to the whole story ,,I'm so sorry great narrarator,,BUT,,,,,,IT STARTED TO GET INTERESTING, 42 MINS INTO IT AND I'M SORRY BUT ,,MAYBE IT'S JUST ME BUT I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS STORY TO ANYONE very disappointing and I HATE BEING NEGATIVE ,BUT ALL THE LEADING AND LEADING UP TO ,what?????
