- The Head Cutter. That’s what they called him. I always thought it was a little on the nose, even as a child. Then again, it was also children who’d named him, so maybe I shouldn’t have expected anything more.

No matter how ridiculous things sound from my daughters, I always humor them. Not just to make them feel better but to make sure myself. 90% of me knows it's nothing, but that other 10% has me ready to to fight to the death to protect my kids.
you’d do nothing
Most modern parents would use their children as meat shields if something really happened.
@@maalikserebryakov you're clearly not a parent and likely from this new generation of the weak that need safe spaces. Keep being a keyboard warrior. It's entertaining 🤣
@maalikserebryakov wow really shitty coment dude
@@maalikserebryakovHonestly every generations would use their children as a shield or sell them off
@@maalikserebryakov My children are in the mines where they belong, they won’t even be around for me to use them as a meat shield. As a modern parent I knew they yearned for the mines since they were born.
If your kid tells you they're being stalked by the boogeyman, believe them. There were plenty of parents back in the 80's who didn't believe their kids about Cropsy and now they have to live that guilt for the rest of their lives.
Who’s crospy
@@coltonhoath2179 Cropsy was an urban legend type character from New York folklore who stalked and murdered children. Parents were so confident he didn't exist (and honestly who can blame them, it sounds like a campfire story) that they dismissed their children's sightings of him and let them walk home from school unsupervised. Things came to a head in the 1980's when a mentally man was discovered to be living in the abandoned mental asylum, the Willowbrooks, on the outskirts of town. It turned out that he really had been kidnapping and murdering special needs children, supposedly because he wanted to 'save' them from the type of abuse he suffered while he and his mother were patients at the Willowbrooks. The children who had escaped Cropsy told other kids, who then retold and exaggerated the accounts, giving him features like a scarred face and a hook for a hand. By the time the story reached the adults, Cropsy had become a mythic figure who they thought could never exist in real life. After the disappearance of several down syndrome afflicted children, Cropsy was caught and is currently in a maximum security prison for the criminally insane. The ruins of the Willowbrooks asylum still stand, and the surviving relatives of the victims continue to search the ground for the remains of any children who might not have found yet, so that hopefully any cold cases involving Cropsy's MO can finally be closed.
@@arthurshort6619 thanks
the finders cult is a billion times scarier.
and it’s still working, under other names.
it’s very very very real.
@@threestans9096 sounds intriguing
The fact that real bad things happening bcz parents don't take their kids seriously is my favourite trope in horror says a lot about what's wrong with me as a person
Because it removes the bad parent's status as a parent if their kid no longer exists?
i like it too.. it adds a sense of realism to it, because most parents would react that way. it leaves the kid on their own to solve the problem, making the story that much more critical. it's a good trope.
@@flappy7373 that's a very goof point yeah i didn't exactly see it that way
I like such stories as well, and they are easier to write since kids' problem solving abilities are very limited and so easy to make feel real instead of having tons of plot holes.
However it seems that creepypastas in general suffer from the syndrome of being written to quickly, like the beginning was good and it set the mood but the rest happened so fast that in the end the head cutter wasn't as horrifying as he could have been.
If the story was extended to 1h with more detailed writing and an investigation arc it could have been much better.
@@Maya-jz5qn Ru Indian behena ?
Part 62 of thanking the lighthouse horror for his constant uploads
Way to speedrun heartsu.
When I was a kid, a man pulled over on the side of the street when I was walking home and asked if I would get in his car to help him find his dog. I didn’t, of course, but there was another little girl in the car with him. She didn’t look happy. My parents didn’t believe me, or at didn’t listen, so nothing ever happened. I think about that girl everyday.
darn i know you were young but id tried to get in contact with the police.
@@Gamerboy67YT_1 I was in fourth or fifth grade but I told my friend and she told me not to worry about it. Yeah I regret not saying anything more.
Wow. If my child told me someone tried to get him into their car, I would be letting authorities know for sure.
That's what's wrong with humanity. You were just a child, you are not to blame at all. You did everything that you could
“Children, especially small children, rarely lie. So if your children tell you something, especially if there young, believe them.”
Buddy I have a 4 year old that would have you in headlock with goofy stories.
The real scary part of this story vis the home owners association
lol
@@LighthouseHorror 6:48 maniacally is said man(eye)a-cly not maniac-ally I just wanted to let you know! It might have just been an oversight but I don't know if you are like me or not but I would want someone to tell me if I were saying something wrong!
Okay, class, can you tell me what is the collective noun for Karen?😂
@@Femcelwithacrystalball8688 HOA?😉🤭😅
@@littleninnie Exactly.
That was great! The sound of the approaching lawnmower accompanied by its rider's creepy laugh, a countdown to oncoming doom.
Parent here’s a little tip when your kids tell you something like a monster is in their closet or someone is stalking them believe them because there’s too many bad incidents and movies TV shows and what not so believe your children when they say things like that because anything could happen nowadays
And I mean kids don't always know everything that's going on. So maybe it's not a *monster* in the big hairy thing with horns sense, but they're seeing something that they don't have the vocabulary to describe.
Finally found a nice, proper creepypasta, not one where it's always some sort of allegory for depression or stg. There's a huge trend in the emergence of "mental-health-pastas" and it's good to find something classic
I think it kinda is. You might mean psychological horror.
Obviously something is wrong with the dude to be doing that crap. But I suppose what you mean is it could just as easily be a classic creepy pasta. Like slendy or Jeff the killer. But it’s ones like Jeff that are harder to distinguish Bc there are people like that out there.
@@miserydark1299 i think they mean mental health pastas. psycho horror is like “identity”. they mean these stupid “the monster IS my depression” things. Like “at the end, I realized, we all have a monster inside of us blah blah blah”
stupid crap like that.
@@threestans9096 HATE mental health pastas where anything remotely interesting is all in the protagonist's mind
Amen
The moment when the Head cutter said "Ruined" and let the child go I kinda felt sorry for him. I find it sad that his dolls face is ruined and all he wants is just getting the doll back. But at the same time he killed so many people and that has to be put to an end. I'll just hope that one day he will find someone who will be able to fix or make a new face for the doll and everyone will be happy.
A great story btw! I absolutely love your channel, stories and voice! Can't get enough of it. Thank you for making today's night scary and hopefully giving me nightmares (I rarely have them but I like when I do have them)
Empathy had a limit.
Do you know how many scary movies/stories would be prevented if people took their kids seriously?
And how many scary realities would be prevented?
In the 90s I grew up and went to school next to an asylum for the criminally insane.
That place had regular escapes, many not announced to the public, because it was a fairly wealthy neighborhood and perhaps they didn't want to lower property values.
Escapes of particularly dangerous individuals were announced by police, but even when they wandered across the road into the school it was seen as "No big deal".
Parents/ teachers ignored "weird guy hanging around... following us home" stories.
Even when we had the Claremont Serial Killer active in the neighborhood in 1996/97 it was not seen as a big deal.
"Creepy guy in the neighbourhood lurking around" stories were ignored. The "weirdo near the local cemetery" reports we were making in 1995 were also ignored.
The killer was finally charged in 2020 for a r*pe/abduction in 1995 along with two murders in 96/97 and other brutal crimes.
One girl, Sarah Spiers, has yet to be found. I vaguely knew her. The killer wasn't charged with her murder due to lack of evidence.
The convicted killer matches the description my brother gave me at the time, of a creep "scoping the area" that night Sarah disappeared; seen within a block of where she disappeared.
Even almost 25 years later my brother recognises him, and he'd tried to make a police report back in 1996 but was ignored as a teenager trying to get in on the hype. Maybe if they'd listened to us teens in 1995 none of the murders would have happened.
@@Skittenmeowif all that is true that is freaking wild and sad… Seriously. Parents need to start believing in their children, so much loss could be prevented…
It's nice to hear about someone ambitious, willing to do what it takes to get ahead.
I can't! I can't even! Thanks for making me laugh my head off!😂😂😂
Sometimes the monster isn’t a boogeyman or an abusive family
Sometimes it’s a thin guy on a lawnmower cutting heads to put on a doll
the headcutter was a southern accent away from saying "travis me boy"
If my kid told me he/she saw something weird I'd be watching even if they think it's ghost or something how would you know if it's not a person watching/stalking your kid, waiting for a perfect opportunity? I'd personally rather be safe than risk it, screw the job or whatever else.
You keep finding unique stories and blowing us away with your narration. Your talent makes it easy to forget that there is only one voice giving life to so many characters and horrific tales. Keep up the good work sir, and see you tomorrow.
Even if she doesn't believe him, ...how in the hell do you STILL keep telling your kid to walk home?
Even if you say "don't talk to anyone on the way here", WHY are you making him STILL walk home in the first place!?!
Tell your boss you'll take a longer break to meet/take your kid home! Tell him you'll make up the time before you get off of work! SOMETHING. But don't keep making him walk home when someone just got kidnapped in a small town!
🤦🏽♂️
Well done! An original take on the urban legend, very creative!
I remember as a kid in the 80's when a schoolmate was kidnapped, getting the whole walk home quick and don't go anywhere, talk to anyone. Yet never was picking up your kid an option 😅
"Heads" up everyone, it's the head cutter! Try not to lose your "heads" escaping him! "Head" inside quick! I was so scared I almost pissed myself, better go hit the "head" and.... If anyone is still reading this comment, thanks for indulging my "head" canon about this story, lol
lol
"What's your problem, Head Cutter? Can't get "head"way with fixing your doll? I suppose I better keep my "head" straight if I want to escape."
"Don't mock me! I'm not in the right "head"space for that!"
"Sorry! Don't bite my "head" off! I'm just trying to make "heads" or tails of what may be wrong with you!"
I like him... He silly! 🤣
I like the idea of him saying “it’s HEADGE not head!”
This story is scary, for me personally, because this can actually happen. The Head Cutter sounds like he can be a supernatural entity ... or a serial killer. Could go either way. Also, the lawn mower thing? Yeah. When I was little, I was terrified of the sound of the engine. Something about it just gave me the same chills as the melody of an ice cream truck.
The Ice SCream Man!
It gets me angry when parents dismiss their children like that. If I ever went throught is, I probably wouldn't talk to my mom again I would be happy to see her again but I wouldn't want to talk to her after that
The resolution with the girl was touching and unusual. Such a campy premise done well.
LET'S GOOO just in time for bed!!!
I listen to this when I'm getting ready for bed, too.
I havent been genuinely scared by a creepypasta in a long time, this was great
That was nice, intriguing and kept me tense. Really like your voice acting, we all can see you grow as an artist.
It's cool that I can listen to your stuff now, before you become big!
thank you so much!
I still remember when he had 300 subscribers which seems surreal to me now. Even more surreal and satisfying was how fast that number grew. Lighthouse Horror left the record book in a charred pile of ash.
I feel like for the story to be satisfying I needed the mom to ask for the child's forgiveness. Without having that cathartic scene of the mom horrified that her arrogance almost killed her child it feels kind of empty.
I have to say this was great. It has a kind of classic fear to it. Not to supernatural but just right and scary enough that it could be true. I loved it. Great job to both the author and to the always amazing narrator. You are coming very close to taking number one in my opinion. I love Dark Somnium as well. In fact i will say you guys are on par. Just with different styles.
-"Ah, the perfect doll, so hard to make..." (said every doll maker, myself included)
This story was messed up and really horrific, I love it
Bro I’m serious how did u find this channel bruh
Why are you everywhere??
@@liamfenn1814 honestly I see them everywhere too 😭😭
Oooo it's been awhile since I've taken a trip to the lighthouse
I love me some lighthouse horror stories!
Hey my friend this is a good one I hope you like it!
@@LighthouseHorror dude, I love them all! But I'll give you my opinion.
Yeah, that was great.
Every time you upload I get so excited, my birds and I love listening to your readings!!
Creepsmcpasta, Creepypastajr, and this dude are some of the best people I’ve ever listened to you’re amazing and don’t forget that :))
I just need to tell you that I really enjoy your audios. Youre voice is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.
Great story author really got the mindset of a kid right on
That was quite tense toward the end. Enjoyed that one.
just found my new favorite channel! i love your narrations :D
Welcome aboard!
Right on time!!

Happy 4/20 ✌🏾
Happy 4/20 👋
This one was insanely scary. Wow great story and narration
Really cool urban legend story by ArtIntoArtemis brought to wonderful life thru Lighthouse Horrors amazing narration! Truly scary! I really loved this one. Great creepy voices. Neat ending. Makes a person want a scar for protection lol! Thank you and the author VERY MUCH!!
Really liked this story. Had the feel of one of the classics. Thanks for sharing good sir.
Ok, that singing from the headcutter was one of the best Caleb impressions I've heard, props to you!
First time listening to you, will be back to hear more
Super creepy fragilistic
"there was no real reason for the lawnmower other than that it was odd and scary"
Reminds me of an urban legend in my old hometown about "the alley way stalker" that had a goat head for reason other than that it was odd lol
May God always bless you and your family. Thanks again LH for your stories. I enjoyed listening to videos. It helps me keep relaxed after work. A thousand thanks!🌷🌷🌷
Omg... Awesome.... Lots of love and blessings to you dear for sharing such stories and your narration
Great story and narration
That's crazy, I'm sorry that happened to you! I hope they find them and bring him to justice
So its basically the story of Sleepy Hollow, except instead of a headless horseman riding a black Steed, hes a headless lawn guy riding a lime green Deere.
I think the kid mentions it was a black deere
@@agenteldritch6971 scary.. i'll bet the engine was running lean too.
I like that The Head Cutter doesn't kill purely out of enjoyment.
My gosh, I probably won't sleep tonight. That was very suspenseful, excellent narration, absolutely horrifying, and I will never look at someone on a riding lawn mower the same way ever again. Good job Mr.Lighthouse.
Wow.. great story, an awesome narration, as always!
We walked to school through dark woods every day. Half the year it was before sunrise. We never thought about it. Now I shiver to think of it.
This story was better than I thought it was going to be. Lighthouse, you are just like your namesake, dependably keeping that signal going out every day. Great job.
P.S. After listening to the story fully, do you think that this story is just an excuse to beat your kids? That way they are safe from the Head Cutter. Make you think, eh?
What a coincidence! I also stalk the streets of suburbs looking for some head. 😫
Great story, great narration!
Let one of my babies tell me a creepy man is bothering him. Watch me resolve that WHOLE situation for the community. Boney man on a lawn mower be damned messing with my cubs.
How would Layla have kept her hairpin in the door open so she could escape and then she didn't escape she must have tried to escape too but didn't ruin herself.
I was imagining him riding on a push mower for half the video and then remembered rideable lawnmowers were a thing.
I love your videos. I've never heard you mispronounce anything before. Hearing maniac-ally instead of men-i-ack-ally made me giggle. Seriously though, love your stories at night. ❤
lol!!
I heard that too, and thought the same.
Exactly, I thought …did he do that because of talking like a child?. Or does he not know how to pronounce that word!
But we’re agreeing it’s men-I-eck-lee.. right? Haha at least That’s what I thought it was. Not that it’s a common word in my personal vocabulary, but I guess it’s good to know.
@@LighthouseHorrorI thought I was the only one to notice lol. Love it. ❤❤❤
Am I the only one who got freaked out by that one picture where at first the doll is alone but then u look again and there's some scary looking face behind the doll?
Just found this one X a little unnerving but good xx thanks Stephen xx
This one was excellent. It was actually scary - I think there has to be two elements to a scary story to make it actually scary & suspenseful: (1) enough character development that we actually care about the character and empathize with them, and (2) some element of the situation, no matter how creative or unique, in which we can picture ourselves suffering the same fate - so relatability. For me, it's the idea of waking up in some guy's basement, urban legend or just regular Joe Shmoe.
Makes me wonder if men and women find the same stories scary overall. Men obviously don't deal with even a quarter of the scariness in every day life that women do, making more situations along these lines relatable, and thus terrifying. Women have to worry about men jumping them, beating them, raping them pretty much all the time they're out in the world, especially at night. I wonder if the ideas of those situations are as scary to most men, since they're not scenarios that generally run through their minds often as something that could legitimately happen to them.
Men, what scares you in a scary story?
Great job to the author and to LH narrating as always! ☀️
I wouldn't say that. I have plenty of male friends who fell victim to sexual assault and beatings at the hands of the opposite sex. Do they as a majority feel it as much as women? No. But as a woman myself I'm personally suspicious of everyone especially my own sex because I know it's harder to convict one as a crime compared to a man.
I think the fact that parents don't expose children to the world is why they trust their children less about their observations. Fairytales used to be dark because the world is. Don't traumatize them, obviously, but look up why and how Coraline became a children's book. They are tough and can handle more than you think, protect them from weirdos, but don't undereducate them by never telling them to be careful of them. People forget they are 3 meals from anarchy, and someone may only be two. Or one...
I thought this was called the Hair Cutter 🙄🙄🙄 its 6.35am and not been to sleep yet!
The story sounds like the next criminal minds episode.
The perfect head is pretty difficult to give in my opinion
~9:00 "Until this blows over"
This is exactly why humanity has failed and why the large majority of people don't deserve to succeed
Maniacally = MON EYE ACK LEY❤️
lol my mom yelled at me about that one 😂
So this was a great one. Not to mention the weirdo hopefully drunk farmer decided to start going back and forth on the property line at 10:30 on a Tuesday night. That’s normal. Right?! 👀😜Hopefully he’s not looking for heads too!!! Sweet spookies all!!
Well yasssssss just in time 🍿 😁
this is a good one Dawn I hope you like it!
@@LighthouseHorror it was amazing 🤩 thank you 😊
Awesome as always!!!
Thanku Lighthouse horror.
Anybody else appalled by the fact of the HOA doesn't let people park red cars in their driveway. 😂
Wow, great story!!!
Weakest villain ever, tbh. You cut your face and that's it, he lets you go? Too bad no one else thought of that, lol
He wanted a perfected head. No imperfections.
Why do I have a feeling this is the story my neighborhood's kids made this story up about my stepdad especially when my he out of nowhere starts cutting EVERONE'S grass
More please asap great story pt2 now 🤨🤔😳✊💯🤤 head cutter going in really well done respect
I was so distracted by the misponouncing of maniacally I couldn't follow the story
Yes a creepypasta
Good story. Well performed. Thank you!
Liked and subbed.
I live on a very large property. I suddenly feel very awkward owning two riding mowers.
Addictive, your voice and THOSE RULES!
But what if that's his signature that he only ever goes after your mom's cousin's son's friends uncle
Lmao sometimes I hear someone mowing their lawn at night.
It's pretty common here in the north, sun is out all night, can't sleep, so why not do something, like mow the lawn.. lawnmower noise isn't that bad.. leaf blower on the other hand..!
Wow what a truly horrifying tale. 👏👏👏👏👏
Lol love how he pronounces maniacally! Cracked me up out of no where and almost asleep.
😎
Don't we all look for the perfect head...😢
I totally believe my kids when they tell me something and 100% of me will protect my kids at any cost!!!
Perfect I'm about to cut my grass.
Thank you for this Mr. LH
Always, the best ❤
Creepy story...But, i love it..By the BEST story teller.
I dont know if anyone has asked (and you dont have to answer) but what is your name? For instance, my name is Matt not Mitch. Unless your parents were hippies from Woodstock I doubt your first name is lighthouse lol. Ty for the excellent uploads! 63k and rising!
Stephen. Thanks for watching Matt!
Mine is David. Not that it matters and given how obvious it is hahaha 😆
The Headhunter would be a badass nickname. The Head Cutter just sounds like a jittery barber. But he's a better man than I. He made an intricate doll. I'd just put marbles in the eyeholes, stuff them with sawdust, and hang them over my obscenely large fireplace.
Btw did you upgrade your lighthouse ? It looks downright spiffy. Your uncanny ability to find and narrate stories perfectly suited to your talents - as always - amazes.
Thanks for the story
The real horror in this was when he mentioned HOA
