I hope you all had a good weekend and good holidays! :) Let me know what you think of the video! this story was originally released in 2012, so ill be including it in the "classic creepypasta" playlist. Check out The Chilling app! chilling.app.link/darksomnium Remember to like and share (if you want to)
I watched one video and was immediately hooked on the channel and the genre of videos. Always was a big fan of horror but the movies are so great lately. But these stories have been the most some chilling I've heard in a long long time
I tend to hallucinate at night so bedtime was always interesting as a child. This creepypasta is one of the only two that ever genuinely scared me, I'm so excited you narrated it!
I'm a US Soldier and I've been deployed for 7 months. The loneliness is bad especially seeing your friends and family living their lives on social media. Missing holidays and birthdays. These videos help me get through this time in my life. Love horror movies but good ones dont come by easily. This helps pass the time. Thank you.
Oh my god I was telling my husband a little while ago that this was the only creepy pasta that ever scared me as a kid and I could never find it after the fact. So happy you’re the one to bring it back to my life I’ll have to play it for him tonight when he gets home
There is an indie game based on this, right? I'm SO certain my first experience of this pasta was in game form. It vividly relays this. I cannot find it.
I had something similar happen to me , I felt something on top of me holding me down. I had the sheets over my head, Then I got up the nerve to pull the sheets off of me,and what was holding me down was gone. Then I turned on my light by the bed ,it flickered and then went off. I got out of that room turned on EVERY LIGHT and watched TV the rest of the night. That was my only super natural experience, and it scared the s**t out of me!!
[Spoiler Warning] This story was absolutely terrifying, and one of my favorites of all time. The plot was coherent, the use of the entity wasn’t overdone, and the ending was handled very well. There is hope for a good ending, but there’s also the lingering chance that the creature is not entirely done with. I thought the scene where the protagonist visited the old house again was very well done, with no overt signals of the spirit, but just enough tip-offs to indicate a looming presence, keenly aware of the protagonist’s return. Everything was masterfully written and paced. For the audio, though, you absolutely KILLED this narration, Somnium. The music, sound effects, and your delivery elevated an already spectacular story into something I’d consider a perfect work in the horror genre. The emotion that you are able to pour into these characters is something that can be matched by no other. In my opinion, this might be one of, if not your best narration yet. You have truly outdone yourself. You and the author of this story have created one of the most chilling and amazing stories I’ve ever listened to. Unbelievable work, and the both of you deserve the highest of praise for dedicating your time into a project on a scale such as this.
Thank you for writing this out. I had to stop 30 minutes in. I could not tell if this was an actual monster or some kind of twisted SA trauma event the kid was remembering. It was flaring my ptsd up bad.
@@sebastiangreen2364 But the watcher warned the protagonist about the entity attacking Mary and never actually did any harm. He was strangled once by something but it didn't say if it was the watcher or the other being AND it mentioned the watcher making noises resembling that of an elder in his grandma's nursing home when it hid behind the curtain. My guess is it was his grandma or grandpa looking out for him.
Ngl I thought the first two parts were extremely well-written but when the narrator started actually seeing the creature they kind of went ham on the adjectives. There were several sentences where two adjectives with essentially the same meaning were used back-to-back and many of them were used repetitively (take a shot every time he says rancid lol). I found it very distracting, towards the end. Overall it was a good story, but I think the author could use some practice in the power of restraint. Lots of potential though!! And as always the narration and sound design was on point.
In my culture, they say that you shouldn't leave a space where you sleep at night, cuz someone might come and sleep with you. Get a lot of pillows if you have a big bed and sleep alone, and the same goes for the bunk below in this story. When you take off your flip-flops and climb into bed, the point should be facing away from where you sleep. If you turn them towards your bed, it signifies you're inviting the dead to sleep with you. And omg 5 minutes in I'm already scared. And this story is 1 hour 34 minutes. AWESOME!!
For those that deal with severe anxiety. This story perfectly represents how we see and suffer from the fear. Anxiety is a monster. Always creeping around the corner.
Yup, you cannot defeat anxiety. It will always be there, no matter what we do. We can only learn to manage it, push past it and try to live a normal life.
@themug406 anxiety is cringe? Or the description of something creeping up on you without warning? Glad you contributed to the conversation with such a well thought out comment. A bit cringe. Wow, I'm sure your parents/roommates would be so proud. Go show them and post a pic of you getting a pat on the back. 👍
I listened to the beginning of this story years ago narrated by a different RUclipsr. I'm so happy to get to listen to the continuation of it this time narrated by my favorite horror RUclipsr. Great iteration 💕 I felt genuinely scared. I always love the ambient sounds you add, they make the atmosphere feel even more terrifying. And god that ending - the fact that that creature might not be dead and the fact that that creature might have just been the mind playing tricks because of a mental illness - it's terrifying and such a good ending to this story 💕
@@josrei512 I know Creepsmcpasta did this story, but only the first part. All this time, I thought the bit about his parents only lasting 10 days was how the story ended.
@@rhunter42dragon Ah yeah it was Creepsmcpasta I heard aswell then! Thats exactly what I thought aswell, I thought it ended when they moved out but then when I recognised the small narrow room line and saw how long this video was I was thinking "Wait they made more?"
Man, you can make the weather forecast sound creepy if you narrate it. Your channel is such good quality, i'm instant clicking your vid when i see a new one.
i just wanna say that the immersiveness of your stories are what draw me to them. There's something about how you tell your stories, with the noise, the different voice actors, and especially the ambience that really attracts me to them. You could make the most boring creepypasta into something enjoyable with your audio editing skills. That's what makes you so far superior to any other creepypasta reader out there!
He does tell the stories as if he was actually living them doesn’t he? That and not having the same stolen piano music in every video are some of the things that make him special
The greatest nightmare of any child and many adults. Your bedroom, and your bed, are sacred, your safe space and when something, someone breaches that boundary whether they are imaginary or less so, it's terrifying. Goosebumps all around, loved it!
I've avoided this creepypasta since middle school 😖 Scared me enough not to read again. This is definitely one I'll have to listen to while I'm awake lol.
This is one of my all time favorite creepypastas. The author has a way of drawing this vivid picture in your head with elegant metaphors. As a writer its an inspiration back when i first heard the story it was late at night and I sat on my bed with a thumping heart, anxiously anticipating how the story would end damn that was exciting even after finishing it i couldnt fall asleep for like an hour
Just woke up in the middle of the night and I am NOT having a good time. Going to use your narration to make this night better. Thank you for everything you do for us.
I did, eventually. Your voice always helped me get through rough times in my life. I know it sounds weird but I would go as far as to say that I consider you a good friend.
I sleep with my 2009 Woody and wait for Woody.EXE to arrive and he’s by my 2009 Woody as I slept hugging them. Then those annoying tapping sounds happen and Woody.EXE swings his knife very fast yelling “who goes there?!” My 2009 Woody tells him “it’s nothing there” Woody.exe kept his knife in hand to protect the 3 of us.
I play your channel on the 'mix' option through the night. So it goes through a continuous list. It helps so much with the tinnitus and how I wake up several times through the night. An advanced, early onset arthritis doesn't let me stay in the same position long. So I do the 'rotisserie chicken' between naps. Having the stories always playing help so much to get back to sleep. Also helps with the nonstop negative thoughts that spin in my head and build anxiety that blocks sleep and dig a deep depression. Consider yourself a part of health & medical care for so many of us. I know I'm not the only one you help and we appreciate you immensely. ❤
my mind scares me sometimes, I often imagine images of the creatures in creepypastas, and this one scared me a little! Good Job and I hope you had a good holiday!
Holy crap, I requested this one! Bedtime is one of my favorites, so scary! Thank you, Som! You’re the best creepypasta reader and I can’t wait to hear your interpretation of this one!
I just started the story, but this one is already extra terrifying since it hits too close to home lmao I'm listening to it while lying down on the top bunk in the room I share with my brother and due to him staying with our mother for the next few days, the bottom bunk is empty. Usually I listen to your videos in the dark for the atmosphere, but this is the exception. Thanks for the quality content as always and happy holidays
Hope you had a great Christmas Ronnie! Thank you for all the work you put into these stories man. 🙏 not many things really excite me anymore but I'll be damned if I don't get giddy when I see you upload a new story lol.
"my apprehension to falling asleep seemed to correspond with being moved to a room of my own" me: My apprehension to sleep is brought on by my ADHD making my mind bounce around but I feel ya.
The first part scared me, as a mama with a little one who wakes up scared almost every night. He sleeps in my bed now every night the other night I asked "you don't like you bed?" He said "yes, its safe here with mama" The other half is absolutely terrifying, amazing story. AMAZING WORK as usual!!
The panic and rage I experienced while hearing his girlfriend scream will stay in my mind for a while.......... You never fail to make me feel something with every story, keep up the good work bro.
You are the only creepypasta narrator that can immerse me into a story and me feel the emotions of the character keep up the good work these narrations are god tier
You guys are a great combo, both truly master's of your craft. You narrations are so enveloping and your sound effects and music just keep getting better and better. This was truly a pleasure 🙏 FAN FOR LIFE DARK SOMNIUM! P.S. That thumbnail painted the picture this story told quite perfectly! Kinda just how I pictured it. 🤔
Ronnie my man, the more you upload the better you get. This narration genuinly creeped me the crap out. The tone shifts, the disconnects as if told through a device, the demonic noises and speech. Absolute BRUH moment but in a VERY GOOD WAY! Top Notch!
I love the stories from the creepypasta site; I can't get in touch with the authors most of the time, haha. I'm not sure if you could, but I'd love to see you do "The Man Who Brought Happiness" :) Excited to finish this one, much love and I hope you'll hit 1M next year Ronnie, no one deserves it more P.S. I just need to say how much of an absolute masterpiece "Lucy's Lament" I didn't know where to say it, lol, but that song hits so nice, it's an oldie, but man, absolutely nutty
I wonder how many of us have these stories from bunk beds. Mine was the bottom bunk. An evil face would appear smiling, it was a man, nobody i recognized, with really gross teeth and black eyes and bright little lights as pupils looking down on me from the bunk above me, with a color changing mist behind it that slowly twisted. Every time, i would cover my head with my blanket, but i could still hear the mist twisting, like wind through a cracked window till i finally fell asleep, it never spoke. It only went on for a week, i think. Its been a long time. I was 6, and I've told my family that it happened ever since it started, but nobody believed me. It's never happened since, Yet I can vividly remember it to this day 30 years later.
Because of stories like yours, when you say you told your parents but no one believed you, if I ever hear a story like this from my son, I will cleanse the entire freaking house. But as long as my German Shepard doesn't bark towards seemingly nothing, I think we're fine 😅
Yes yes yes!! You FINALLY did my FAVORITE creepypasta, ALL parts in ONE video!! Is it my birthday?! I know you know I've been asking for this for YEARS! Since, I THINK, about 2020! Thank you! Thank yoooou!! THANK YOOOOHOOOHOOO!!
I remember this story from back in the day. After NoEnd House this is one of the first "very long" Creepypasta's I've read back around 2013 or so. Most of the other "classics" were rather short compared to this one. Still as creepy as ever. Great Narration! =]
I love your versions of creepypastas. I love the classic Myuu soundtracks, but eventually they feel "comfortable." Horror shouldn't make me feel "comfortable." Your ambience really adds to the chills I get when listening. Can you do On a Hill?!?!
sound design, ive letterally watcht most of his videos for years and its mostly good sound design and a good voice,he makes his own music and the quality shows
I remember listening to this story like 8 years ago. I tried to reach for the author of it because I wanted to make a manga adaptation of it for a contest. It’s nice to listen to this again after so many years.
If this was a movie, its definitely gonna be era defining and be best horror movie of the year no doubt, the atmosphere, the feels the vibe is just so eerie its crazy
A classic and a phenomenal one! This was one of the first ones that really unnerved me when I first found Creepypastas years ago. More need to follow the old school formula. Great job reading! Keep up the great work!
Ah yes the best kind of background noise for playing the last of us pt 2... totally normal 🤣. Love your content! Always excited to see when you post a new video.
ahhh i love your videos so much :)) this one really got to me personally, so it was such a good scare. and with all the effort you put into your narrations, sound affects, music and pacing its just perfection ❤
I watch every single one of your videos, whether it be for listening to it while cleaning, or in the shower, I listen to them all. It’s not just for the story either, but for the sheer setting you can put into my mind with how you read. This ability of yours I have not been able to match with any other channel. It’s amazing how much you can give a story life with your narrations. I love your videos man and you’re so talented with your work, being able to watch your channel grow gives me so much pleasure as other horror fanatics will be able to enjoy this just as much as I and many others do. I’ll always be looking for more to come and I hope your day/night is well!
I absolutely love your narrations. You are my favorite narrator hands down! Hoping you can get around to narrating my story I sent back in August. I would absolutely love to hear your rendition of it.
WOW. I was genuinely anxious and kind of terrified the whole time during this one. I am a little curious about one thing, though. The MC thought that the Bedfellow and the Smotherer were different beings when he was a kid, but they ARE the same thing after all, right? And I’m not sure why, but... I wonder if this thing was his dead grandfather. Maybe his parents and grandmother told him false stories about how he was a hero while alive, when the wars had actually turned him into a sadistic psychopath. After dying, the tree outside the house, which has some kind of unnatural properties, enabled him to return as that- that THING. I know it’s a flimsy theory, but with how the thing resembled an emaciated old man, the way it specifically desecrated the soldier toy which the MC related to his grandfather, and the fact that even the parents seemed to pick up on something being off with that house after they moved into that one room... I don’t know. But regardless, even though my theory probably holds no water, I think it’s a sign of a good story when after it’s over, it still has the reader/listener/viewer thinking about it. And the narration was creepy AF, that fucking breathing is just... ugh...
I think your theory is pretty good,but I would like to add my own. On the second or third time the thing came into his room when je was a child he for a second thought of a ghost,which immediately changed the things behaviour instead of just staying on the lower bunk and shaking the bed it started to breathe and poke at the upper bunk. So I think it possible has a kind of mind reading ability that would maybe explain how it knew of the toy soldier and what it meant to the main character.
I think you’re right about the mind reading, although the creature seemed surprised when the car started to go off the cliff. Maybe it can only read minds when the MC is sleepy.
@@megamovieman101 yeah or maybe it couldn't read his mind anymore because he was so far away from his house.the same way it was weaker in the car or so it appeared to be
Two months later, sorry for the poke. In any case, I think there were two different ghosts. One was the malevolent spirit of the elongated room, the one that tried to drag him into the wall, and smother him with the blankets. The other was the spirit of his grandfather, the watcher, the ghost of the old brown chair that was watching over his grandson and keeping him safe from the malevolent spirit. That's why he left when asked to stop, but once he left the smotherer attacked. It's also why the toy soldier was defaced, because what it represented was the guardian spirit of the grandfather.
THANK YOU!!!! Fantastic narration Ronnie! As always your hard work is truly amazing and appreciated! Wishing you and RomNex a Happy Healthy New Year! 💥🥦☃️🪅🍾🥦⛄️💥
My damned soul broke when Mary thought that the protagonist have done these things to her. Gosh,why do I always pit myself in the protagonists shoes😭😭😭
I always found this to be one of the spoopiest creepypastas written since I heard it years ago but I had no idea there was more than the initial 20ish minutes. Thanks for adapting this
When I finally become a millionaire I'm going to pay you thousands and thousands of dollars just for you to read stories to me at night. You can spin a tale so well that when I close my eyes I feel like I'm in the story myself! You have a great gift my friend and I love listening to it.
You know those stories where they hit the exact thoughts you have when you feel uneasy and alone, or slightly spooked, at night? And it amplifies that feeling even after the story is over? This one is that.
Well I did the dum thing and listened to it before bed, as I usually do Having woken up by fever I started hallusinating and seeing things I wish I never did Imagination can do truly teryfing things to you
This is it. This is the first creepypasta I've ever read. Since then I've gone through some scarier, some not so much. But this one will always have a special place in my heart as being downright eerie and absolutely terrifying. This story does such a great job of painting a picture in my brain noodle that it sparked a horror obsession that is still going strong 11 years later. Thanks for the amazing narration Somnium. You absolutely KILLED it
I heard this story years ago, narrated by MrCreepypasta I think, and it quickly became one of my favorites. Your narration brought new life into the story. You really are the best in your profession. Other people read these stories while you bring them to life. I'm here, bundled up in blankets, in my tent with my little wood stove burning away, its heat protecting my outsides from the bitter cold and my pine tea protecting my insides. The sounds of your narration keep me company. You're helping me through some tough times. Thank you.
The scene where the thing goes after Mary was absolutely horrifying. I hated that the author used the word "gleeful" when describing its' behavior there. Amazing work as usual!
Hi. I firstly had contact with this on my language. I must say, nice work. This is one of the better creepypastas I've ever listened too. Tks for this.
I always love when the story end with a mental illness..same for the monster in the basement story at the end he finds out he was mentally ill,but he was .that story is my favorite
As a former farmer and father of four, forming frames for freeing ferocious flatulance from forgotten and forlorn fortresses for far from fame or fortune. This is fully f*cked
I started to listen to it twice now in the middle of the night. Putting a reminder to listen to it tomorrow at day. I have gotten scared too easily the last few days. But will definitely listen. But as usual, you are amazing!!
I gotta say somnium your narrations and the way you compose these videos are truly amazing. I haven't been here for long but I have to say your channel has become one of my favorites.
This is a spectacular story, made even more amazing by your talented narration of it. This story divulges memories of our earliest nightmares, and allows for somewhat of a retribution of our darkest fears, the very ones that use to keep us from falling asleep as children. Beautifully written and beautifully told. I can't count on both hands how many times I got chills while listening to this tale.
Mary's experience during his confrontation brought me to tears, I hated this story throughout, chilling tale that I am glad is concluded. Excellent narration, one of the scariest iv ever heard.
I hope you all had a good weekend and good holidays! :) Let me know what you think of the video! this story was originally released in 2012, so ill be including it in the "classic creepypasta" playlist.

@@deansilva8401 yeah, the hallucinations usually aren't too bad but it used to scare me before I knew what was happening
Oo what was the other one that scared you? Listen to this one to fast before bedtime
In a parallel universe:
Protagonist: "Please stop."
Ghost: "Understandable, have a good night."

Ghost, looking hurt: "I only wanted to talk to you about your cars extended warranty..."

This is one of my all time favorite creepypastas. The author has a way of drawing this vivid picture in your head with elegant metaphors. As a writer its an inspiration
back when i first heard the story it was late at night and I sat on my bed with a thumping heart, anxiously anticipating how the story would end
damn that was exciting
even after finishing it i couldnt fall asleep for like an hour
The dark sommnium never dissapoints, by far the best narrator. Please never quit because these stories are incredible.
Just woke up in the middle of the night and I am NOT having a good time. Going to use your narration to make this night better.
Thank you for everything you do for us.
im sorry to hear that, i hope you're able to get some rest tonight
I did, eventually. Your voice always helped me get through rough times in my life.
I know it sounds weird but I would go as far as to say that I consider you a good friend.
I sleep with my 2009 Woody and wait for Woody.EXE to arrive and he’s by my 2009 Woody as I slept hugging them. Then those annoying tapping sounds happen and Woody.EXE swings his knife very fast yelling “who goes there?!” My 2009 Woody tells him “it’s nothing there” Woody.exe kept his knife in hand to protect the 3 of us.
@@nicolelawless9942I have guns and a metal bat to protect myself with. My older brother also helps

I don’t blame you
I play your channel on the 'mix' option through the night. So it goes through a continuous list. It helps so much with the tinnitus and how I wake up several times through the night. An advanced, early onset arthritis doesn't let me stay in the same position long. So I do the 'rotisserie chicken' between naps. Having the stories always playing help so much to get back to sleep. Also helps with the nonstop negative thoughts that spin in my head and build anxiety that blocks sleep and dig a deep depression.
Consider yourself a part of health & medical care for so many of us. I know I'm not the only one you help and we appreciate you immensely. ❤
my mind scares me sometimes, I often imagine images of the creatures in creepypastas, and this one scared me a little! Good Job and I hope you had a good holiday!
Damn, this is getting to me. And I haven't had a bunk bed in over 20+ years. Amazing story! I always get excited when you release a story.
Holy crap, I requested this one! Bedtime is one of my favorites, so scary! Thank you, Som! You’re the best creepypasta reader and I can’t wait to hear your interpretation of this one!
what a lovely bedtime story. perfect to fall asleep to without having to worry about any scary stories.
I just started the story, but this one is already extra terrifying since it hits too close to home lmao I'm listening to it while lying down on the top bunk in the room I share with my brother and due to him staying with our mother for the next few days, the bottom bunk is empty. Usually I listen to your videos in the dark for the atmosphere, but this is the exception.
Thanks for the quality content as always and happy holidays
oooo what a coincidence >:D
@@Darksomnium a scary coincidence for sure XD
Are you 100 percent sure the bottom bunk is empty?
Hope you had a great Christmas Ronnie! Thank you for all the work you put into these stories man. 🙏 not many things really excite me anymore but I'll be damned if I don't get giddy when I see you upload a new story lol.
i did! thank you so much! i hope you did also. i hope you like the story! ill have some new ones out soon!
My man be spoiling his viewers. Keep up the good work, you are my best creepypasta narrator of all time 😊👍
Much appreciated!
this is the first channel ever where the bell is useful. top content. no one comes close.
Thank you so much :)
"my apprehension to falling asleep seemed to correspond with being moved to a room of my own"
me: My apprehension to sleep is brought on by my ADHD making my mind bounce around but I feel ya.
The first part scared me, as a mama with a little one who wakes up scared almost every night. He sleeps in my bed now every night the other night I asked "you don't like you bed?" He said "yes, its safe here with mama"
The other half is absolutely terrifying, amazing story. AMAZING WORK as usual!!
Kids see something we can't
The panic and rage I experienced while hearing his girlfriend scream will stay in my mind for a while..........
You never fail to make me feel something with every story, keep up the good work bro.
You are the only creepypasta narrator that can immerse me into a story and me feel the emotions of the character keep up the good work these narrations are god tier
You guys are a great combo, both truly master's of your craft. You narrations are so enveloping and your sound effects and music just keep getting better and better. This was truly a pleasure 🙏 FAN FOR LIFE DARK SOMNIUM!
P.S. That thumbnail painted the picture this story told quite perfectly! Kinda just how I pictured it. 🤔
It was fantastic, I felt all the anxiety with the amazing sounds you added in. The gasping was horrifying
glad you liked it!
Ronnie my man, the more you upload the better you get. This narration genuinly creeped me the crap out. The tone shifts, the disconnects as if told through a device, the demonic noises and speech. Absolute BRUH moment but in a VERY GOOD WAY! Top Notch!
I love the stories from the creepypasta site; I can't get in touch with the authors most of the time, haha. I'm not sure if you could, but I'd love to see you do "The Man Who Brought Happiness" :)
Excited to finish this one, much love and I hope you'll hit 1M next year Ronnie, no one deserves it more
P.S. I just need to say how much of an absolute masterpiece "Lucy's Lament" I didn't know where to say it, lol, but that song hits so nice, it's an oldie, but man, absolutely nutty
ill look into it! thank you :)
Lucy makes me tear up every time. =´)
Holy hell Rom, you deserve an Oscar for that performance
There is NOTHING better the Michael Whitehouse read by The Dark Sominum!!! Beat Xmas gift ever!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
michael is awesome :D
I wonder how many of us have these stories from bunk beds. Mine was the bottom bunk. An evil face would appear smiling, it was a man, nobody i recognized, with really gross teeth and black eyes and bright little lights as pupils looking down on me from the bunk above me, with a color changing mist behind it that slowly twisted. Every time, i would cover my head with my blanket, but i could still hear the mist twisting, like wind through a cracked window till i finally fell asleep, it never spoke. It only went on for a week, i think. Its been a long time. I was 6, and I've told my family that it happened ever since it started, but nobody believed me. It's never happened since, Yet I can vividly remember it to this day 30 years later.
Because of stories like yours, when you say you told your parents but no one believed you, if I ever hear a story like this from my son, I will cleanse the entire freaking house. But as long as my German Shepard doesn't bark towards seemingly nothing, I think we're fine 😅
I remember listening to this story a long time ago, and being genuinely chilled and hopelessly hooked. I'm so happy to hear you narrate this.
Yes yes yes!! You FINALLY did my FAVORITE creepypasta, ALL parts in ONE video!! Is it my birthday?! I know you know I've been asking for this for YEARS! Since, I THINK, about 2020! Thank you! Thank yoooou!! THANK YOOOOHOOOHOOO!!
I remember this story from back in the day. After NoEnd House this is one of the first "very long" Creepypasta's I've read back around 2013 or so. Most of the other "classics" were rather short compared to this one.
Still as creepy as ever. Great Narration! =]
I love your versions of creepypastas. I love the classic Myuu soundtracks, but eventually they feel "comfortable." Horror shouldn't make me feel "comfortable." Your ambience really adds to the chills I get when listening.
Can you do On a Hill?!?!
SAW THE DISCORD ANNOUNCEMENT AND LITERALLY CLOSED MY APP AND WENT STRAIGHT TO RUclips
THIS IS AWESOME BTW!!!!
This was 1 of the best horror story i ever heard.
thank you so much! im so glad you liked it :)
@@Darksomnium
can you do the creepypasta no end house
You're by far the BEST narrator I've ever heard and I'm not even sure why
Thank you so much :)
He really does make it sound effortless and soothing.
sound design, ive letterally watcht most of his videos for years and its mostly good sound design and a good voice,he makes his own music and the quality shows
I remember listening to this story like 8 years ago. I tried to reach for the author of it because I wanted to make a manga adaptation of it for a contest. It’s nice to listen to this again after so many years.
Did you get in touch with the author? Manga adaption sounds great!
This needs to be made into a movie. A brilliant story! I was supposed to fall asleep to this. I couldn't, it was just too good.
U can never just fall asleep to it
Not everything needs to be a movie!
You have done it again man👏👏 Thanks for being the best narrator on RUclips and I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend!
Now THIS is the quality of story I'm talking about. EVERY. SINGLE. LINE of this masterpiece made my face grimace in anticipation!
Very well told, articulate, and mercifully free of obscenities!
thank you :)
If this was a movie, its definitely gonna be era defining and be best horror movie of the year no doubt, the atmosphere, the feels the vibe is just so eerie its crazy
The acting and directing would need to be top notch. They can't have someone narrating the whole time.
A classic and a phenomenal one! This was one of the first ones that really unnerved me when I first found Creepypastas years ago. More need to follow the old school formula. Great job reading! Keep up the great work!
Ah yes the best kind of background noise for playing the last of us pt 2... totally normal 🤣. Love your content! Always excited to see when you post a new video.
I've been waiting all day to get into bed so I could listen to this.
Thanks for the long video Ronnie 🖤
ahhh i love your videos so much :)) this one really got to me personally, so it was such a good scare. and with all the effort you put into your narrations, sound affects, music and pacing its just perfection ❤
I watch every single one of your videos, whether it be for listening to it while cleaning, or in the shower, I listen to them all. It’s not just for the story either, but for the sheer setting you can put into my mind with how you read. This ability of yours I have not been able to match with any other channel. It’s amazing how much you can give a story life with your narrations. I love your videos man and you’re so talented with your work, being able to watch your channel grow gives me so much pleasure as other horror fanatics will be able to enjoy this just as much as I and many others do. I’ll always be looking for more to come and I hope your day/night is well!
I absolutely love your narrations. You are my favorite narrator hands down! Hoping you can get around to narrating my story I sent back in August. I would absolutely love to hear your rendition of it.
What was the name of it? I'll double check my email incase I missed it :)
The story was called "Hope" :) sent on Aug 17
WOW. I was genuinely anxious and kind of terrified the whole time during this one. I am a little curious about one thing, though. The MC thought that the Bedfellow and the Smotherer were different beings when he was a kid, but they ARE the same thing after all, right?
And I’m not sure why, but... I wonder if this thing was his dead grandfather. Maybe his parents and grandmother told him false stories about how he was a hero while alive, when the wars had actually turned him into a sadistic psychopath. After dying, the tree outside the house, which has some kind of unnatural properties, enabled him to return as that- that THING. I know it’s a flimsy theory, but with how the thing resembled an emaciated old man, the way it specifically desecrated the soldier toy which the MC related to his grandfather, and the fact that even the parents seemed to pick up on something being off with that house after they moved into that one room... I don’t know.
But regardless, even though my theory probably holds no water, I think it’s a sign of a good story when after it’s over, it still has the reader/listener/viewer thinking about it.
And the narration was creepy AF, that fucking breathing is just... ugh...
I think your theory is pretty good,but I would like to add my own. On the second or third time the thing came into his room when je was a child he for a second thought of a ghost,which immediately changed the things behaviour instead of just staying on the lower bunk and shaking the bed it started to breathe and poke at the upper bunk. So I think it possible has a kind of mind reading ability that would maybe explain how it knew of the toy soldier and what it meant to the main character.
I think you’re right about the mind reading, although the creature seemed surprised when the car started to go off the cliff. Maybe it can only read minds when the MC is sleepy.
@@megamovieman101 yeah or maybe it couldn't read his mind anymore because he was so far away from his house.the same way it was weaker in the car or so it appeared to be
Ahh good point, Saul.
Two months later, sorry for the poke. In any case, I think there were two different ghosts. One was the malevolent spirit of the elongated room, the one that tried to drag him into the wall, and smother him with the blankets. The other was the spirit of his grandfather, the watcher, the ghost of the old brown chair that was watching over his grandson and keeping him safe from the malevolent spirit. That's why he left when asked to stop, but once he left the smotherer attacked. It's also why the toy soldier was defaced, because what it represented was the guardian spirit of the grandfather.
The most hard working narrator on RUclips....Thanks for this upload!😆
thank you! :)
THANK YOU!!!!
Fantastic narration Ronnie! As always your hard work is truly amazing and appreciated! Wishing you and RomNex a
Happy Healthy New Year!
💥🥦☃️🪅🍾🥦⛄️💥
My damned soul broke when Mary thought that the protagonist have done these things to her. Gosh,why do I always pit myself in the protagonists shoes😭😭😭
I always found this to be one of the spoopiest creepypastas written since I heard it years ago but I had no idea there was more than the initial 20ish minutes. Thanks for adapting this
When I finally become a millionaire I'm going to pay you thousands and thousands of dollars just for you to read stories to me at night. You can spin a tale so well that when I close my eyes I feel like I'm in the story myself! You have a great gift my friend and I love listening to it.
Don't be greedy lol
@@SassyStrawberry1 I mean it'll be recorded so nobody will miss out, I just want the live version 😂😂
Listening to this right now, I never heard the original but I'm excited anyway
Edit: HOLY CRAP IT'S THIS STORY
I hope you like it! :)
You know those stories where they hit the exact thoughts you have when you feel uneasy and alone, or slightly spooked, at night?
And it amplifies that feeling even after the story is over?
This one is that.
Well I did the dum thing and listened to it before bed, as I usually do
Having woken up by fever I started hallusinating and seeing things I wish I never did
Imagination can do truly teryfing things to you
@@akariyorukage9588 oh no!😂💀
This is it. This is the first creepypasta I've ever read. Since then I've gone through some scarier, some not so much. But this one will always have a special place in my heart as being downright eerie and absolutely terrifying. This story does such a great job of painting a picture in my brain noodle that it sparked a horror obsession that is still going strong 11 years later. Thanks for the amazing narration Somnium. You absolutely KILLED it
This gave me flashbacks as a kids, I would always see shadow figures on my walls at night. This story was great and sent chills down my spine
I heard this story years ago, narrated by MrCreepypasta I think, and it quickly became one of my favorites.
Your narration brought new life into the story. You really are the best in your profession. Other people read these stories while you bring them to life.
I'm here, bundled up in blankets, in my tent with my little wood stove burning away, its heat protecting my outsides from the bitter cold and my pine tea protecting my insides. The sounds of your narration keep me company. You're helping me through some tough times. Thank you.
Thank you so much :)
As I listened to this, I honestly didn’t feel alone in my room-😭
50:32 THE WAY MY JAW DROPPED
The delivery was IMPECCABLE
This narration is such a great one because it just awakens a sense of fear in me which makes the story all that much better
I've been waiting on this for awhile. Anything you post is always a good one. Thanks again Brother
thank you so much :)
The scene where the thing goes after Mary was absolutely horrifying. I hated that the author used the word "gleeful" when describing its' behavior there. Amazing work as usual!
That was the point 😳
Merry Christmas bro hope it went well for u. U deserve it bringing us these stories
it did! i Rom made me a scarf :D thank you so much. how was your christmas?
Hi. I firstly had contact with this on my language. I must say, nice work. This is one of the better creepypastas I've ever listened too. Tks for this.
I always love when the story end with a mental illness..same for the monster in the basement story at the end he finds out he was mentally ill,but he was .that story is my favorite
I've heard this story before, and i have to say you did it so much better! Love your content man! Please never stop+
And l love that you are bringing us classic creepy pasta! Another stellar presentation!! Thank you so much!! And I hope you had a Merry Christmas!!
I have never been this early before. I am really excited to hear this story. I have never heard it. You make my day at work go by so much faster.
im so glad you could make it! :) I hope you like it! and i hope you have a good day!
hope you and rom had a good christmas!! best wishes❤❤❤
we did! she made me a scarf haha :)
Oh man! One of my favorite stories read by my favorite narrator, An amazing way to start the day! Thanks Somnium!
As a former farmer and father of four, forming frames for freeing ferocious flatulance from forgotten and forlorn fortresses for far from fame or fortune. This is fully f*cked
why so many f’s 😂
I started to listen to it twice now in the middle of the night. Putting a reminder to listen to it tomorrow at day. I have gotten scared too easily the last few days. But will definitely listen.
But as usual, you are amazing!!
Gotta wait til bedtime to listen but, as always can't wait. The absolute best creepy pasta stories 😱
I hope you enjoy the story when you listen to it :) have a good day!
Time to give this a listen. 👍
I gotta say somnium your narrations and the way you compose these videos are truly amazing. I haven't been here for long but I have to say your channel has become one of my favorites.
Your stories are amazing! Your good voice with the amazing music is awesome!
Thank you so much!
This is a spectacular story, made even more amazing by your talented narration of it.
This story divulges memories of our earliest nightmares, and allows for somewhat of a retribution of our darkest fears, the very ones that use to keep us from falling asleep as children.
Beautifully written and beautifully told. I can't count on both hands how many times I got chills while listening to this tale.
„Bedtime is supposed to be a happy time for a child“
Provably FALSE. I have yet to see my children go to bed willingly. >:/
lol
Speaking of… almost 8 pm. Time to brush teeth. Yay! 😂
the thumbnail is straight bussin
B)
Thank you for these awesome stories they have helped me so much ❤
im so honored to hear they have helped you :) thank you.
Mary's experience during his confrontation brought me to tears, I hated this story throughout, chilling tale that I am glad is concluded. Excellent narration, one of the scariest iv ever heard.
Is there a reason dude didn’t turn the light on when it was attacking his girlfriend?? Like come on
My husband made me scream when he touched my ankle with his cold hand. Just as the thing turned it's head while attacking Mary. Whow... Good story!
