Thanks for including time stamps that are linked to the stories. (Super helpful feature.) It’s nice how you take the time and effort to credit the authors 🦋
hilda landeros Thanks! Now I know which movie I won’t watch unless I want horrible nightmares! 😂 Jokes aside it’d be horrible... Oh god. I don’t even want to imagine it.
hilda landeros Oof same. I was terrified of swimming class in school because in elementary we were learning to hold our breaths underwater and the teacher thought my head wasn’t deep enough (I was underwater but not completely submerged) so he pushed my head down and held it there for a bit. Bad memories, I hated that class ever since. Not a good way to teach kids. F**k that teacher.
@@kingamity1985 I'm pretty sure the story came first. I looked it up after the video & found that actual historians have discussed its legitimacy. It's likely an urban (oceanic?) legend, but I doubt it was started by Supermassive Games as an underground campaign for the game.
Oh my God. I read the book on the USS Indianapolis. The Navy was so incredibly incompetent and had the audacity to blame the captain. The port the ship was supposed to show up at assumed the ship arrived, so they just marked it off as such, and that's why no one thought the SOS messages were real. So, the Navy besmirched his reputation.
The wild thing is, the Japanese sub commander that torpedoed the Indianapolis actually testified on his behalf at his court martial, saying there wasn't anything the American commander could do to avoid the ship sinking.
@@jaredstiltner3042 Yeah, 'cause the Navy was trying to say he wasn't doing some serpentine maneuver and the sub captain was like "that would have done nothing."
The story about the man stuck at sea for that huge, long period of time doing everything he could to survive almost brought tears to my eyes. What a trooper. Truly inspiring.
I love when you do historical accounts. You did a video of journal entries from WWI and WWII a while ago which was awesome. Please get more of these into the mix!
My husband's uncle was a survivor on the Indianapolis. He didn't talk much about it. He did say that the sharks were the worst in that you could be talking to someone next to you and without warning, the man would scream and go under water, only blood would come back up. I cant imagine the horror.
There was a guy who knew my dad while he was growing up and he survived the sinking of USS Indianapolis. He wrote a book about it and my dad had a signed copy. I never met the guy but knowing what he survived on that mission alone is something to think about. I’m trying to join the Navy and hope to hear back for sure soon. RIP to those brave sailors who lost their lives helping us win the war.
My Uncle Jim survived the USS Indianapolis He has told me some horror stories of the nights that he drifted in the ocean listening to his fellow shipmates dying around him from the shark attacks love you Uncle Jim
Story two hit me hard! I remember that like it was yesterday. I live in Mobile and that hurt everyone and everything by and around the water hard. Some of the people that helped clean up got cancer from it.
It's so nice to hear a story about the Ourang Medan/Man of Medan right as the game of the same name based on that story is coming out. I hope the game gives us something good since it's such a mysterious story without any real conclusion!
Ive tried underwater walking last year on vacation. We didnt have to use tanks but just the helmet because the water stopped just above the shoulder so there was air. I have a phobia of below the ocean and i thankfully didnt panic. I mean it was scary but i told myself to be calm. I enjoyed it. Didnt think of whatever could be swimming around me and took cool pictures🙂. But i wouldnt do it again.
Lovecraftian horror? Well, if not there really isn’t much down there to fear, aside from ghosts of that really angry great white spermwhale moby dick was based on.
Sean....you're not alone. I fear and respect the sea. So many lost ships, people, cities and much more. I don't want to know. Let braver souls dive n discover. I'll wait for them to return... 😏👍👍
The ocean is already mysterious, but these stories just took that fear to a whole new level! I never realized how terrifying the deep sea could truly be.
I am from Louisiana and lived 20-30 miles from the coast. You can’t quite smell it from there but a short drive south and you can. After DH happened you could 100% smell it for months.
The scariest story, to me, was the cleanup of the gulf coast. How many more of these super spills have to happen before the gargantuan oil companies and gas loving consumers realize that the oceans are dying? Very scary.
Those family members who harassed captain McVey are actual scum. I know you’re hurting, but my sympathy can only go so far in terms of excusing shitty behavior.
Grief tries to find blame, but doing it year after year is inhuman and vindictive. That's no longer grief lashing out, that's a sick human being looking to spread their toxicity. :(
I read about the USS Indianapolis in the July 2019 issue of Reader's Digest. What those men suffered was unimaginable and horrific. There were a couple of actual pictures of some these men right after their rescue and also shows two pictures of four of the twelve remaining 1945 Indianapolis crew greeting sailors on the new version of the USS Indianapolis, launched in 2018. The name of the article is "The Last Bad Day" by Doug Stanton. The introduction reads as follows: Survivors of the USS Indianapolis spent days bobbing in the sea, enduring sharks, blistering sun, and dehydration. How they conducted themselves in the water afterwards is an affirmation of life. 🛳️
I remember watching Jaws the first time, and being disgusted by Quint’s obvious vendetta against sharks. Until the drinking scene, where he talks about the worst part being the moments right before his turn to be pulled from the water. May not be right or just, but I don’t have the gall to blame any of those sailors, if any of them decided to embark on a shark-finning or drum-lining career. Yeah, just predators following their instincts, rah rah. Bet it didn’t *feel* like that, watching a dozen man passed by, before your best friend started shrieking and bleeding, before being pulled down.
Love these readings! Usually listen to this stuff while doing other things. Though, have to say, smiled a bit when the Ourang Medan one started playing, because Man of Medan just came out yesterday.
Really enjoyed this episode, the ocean stories are fascinating but also some incredibly tragic stories as well. I’d like to hear some more ocean stories
Brilliant! Just brilliant! Thank you for all your research and sensitivity in the retelling of these powerful stories. Some made for deeply emotional listening. Bless 🙏
Wow, I just listened to story #7 about the sea lice and now my feet feel really weird and I’m rubbing them together to prevent having a complete panic attack, thank you for that dude.
Maybe someone can help me here I'm looking for a specific story I believe I listened to on this channel, it was about someone giving a family member a ride at night. They pass some kind of phone booth I think and see some kind of pale and humanoid creature standing inside and they get a horrible feeling and drive off. When returning later on, it was gone. I remember really enjoying this story for some reason but I can't find it anymore...
Oh wow! Man of Medan is a video game. I knew one of the stories sounded similar to the game until he mentioned Man of Medan as a city. Interesting...I guess the game is based off this story.
I helped clean up the oil spill as well in Pascagoula, Mississippi. 12 hour days 7 days awake on rotating shifts. Did that for 3 months. Work was extremely tough but I met so many people from all over who came to help
Absolutely excellent selection of wonderful stories!! And so nice to hear some we haven't heard a dozen times by other narrators!! Thank you..one of the best videos I have heard in a long time! Also the fact that it was such a long video was like icing on the cake!! Thanks again
this video was really engaging and the stories were quite chilling! i felt like it captured the eerie vibe of the ocean perfectly. but honestly, i think some of these stories are a bit exaggerated. like, how often do people really encounter such extreme horrors at sea? it's fascinating, but part of me wonders if we’re just feeding into our fears!

These intros are insanely creative and creepy.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who loves them
Ikr; especially the music in this one.💀
I agree
*stories end*
Me: :(
Let's Read: Hey friends!-
Me: :)
The hey friends" always wakes.me.up
The first one was very scary to me. Slowly drowning or suffocating... Perhaps my biggest fear.
It really is scary , imagine being lost in the Ocean.
There is a movie called open waters..
No more movies like that one.
hilda landeros Thanks! Now I know which movie I won’t watch unless I want horrible nightmares! 😂
Jokes aside it’d be horrible... Oh god. I don’t even want to imagine it.
Even when I go to a swimming pool I want to wear a life jacket...

@@nagyviki993 you shouldn of told your mom. That's sucks , how something happens when we are young can refled on us what in asswipe .
There's a horror game based on Story 6 called The Man of Medan. I had no idea it was based on an actual ship.
Went looking through the comments for one like this as soon as I heard the name of the ship.
i think the story was pr for the game
Edit: naw b Iss real
@@kingamity1985 I'm pretty sure the story came first. I looked it up after the video & found that actual historians have discussed its legitimacy. It's likely an urban (oceanic?) legend, but I doubt it was started by Supermassive Games as an underground campaign for the game.
i had no idea the game man of medan was based on a "true" legend! that's so cool!

I'm absolutely terrified of the ocean 😨!
Can't wait to listen to all the stories! 💜
So am I .!
Same here!lol
A couple were lost on the for 4 months. Finally a ship saw them and were saved..
Ocean.
@@hildalanderos a couple was lost what? What are you talking about?

I hate it when they don't tell us what went wrong like with the underwater walking, was their a helmet leak or what?
Yay, I’m so happy you’ve posted. A nice new video to fall asleep to.
Do you enjoy nightmares😐
@@Your_Boy_Dimes I don’t have nightmares.
Weird. Exactly what I was looking for ,something to fall asleep too
How do fall asleep to something as creepy and scary as this???

Currently rocking my baby to sleep while listening
The story about Callahan...excellent. Very realistic, written by somone with a knowledge of the sea and of survival. Thank you.
How was the guy who worked during the 1941 Brittania disaster able to recall his events? He’s like 100+ now if its true
🤫
He’s a zombie. That was the twist duh.
@@TimJohniLL88 ahhh true
This video was amazinggggg. Different subject matter and there’s something absolutely terrifying about the open ocean. Loved this so much!
Ive tried underwater walking last year on vacation. We didnt have to use tanks but just the helmet because the water stopped just above the shoulder so there was air. I have a phobia of below the ocean and i thankfully didnt panic. I mean it was scary but i told myself to be calm. I enjoyed it.

Kara S Im happy you enjoyed yourself! But yeah don’t do it again
The most of the deep ocean has never been discovered. I'm sure there are a lot of horror stories down there.
Lovecraftian horror? Well, if not there really isn’t much down there to fear, aside from ghosts of that really angry great white spermwhale moby dick was based on.
Thank goodness my shift at work just got easier. Thanks Let's Read.
I don't know exactly why, but I find the oceans more mysterious and creepier than outer space..
Sean....you're not alone. I fear and respect the sea. So many lost ships, people, cities and much more. I don't want to know. Let braver souls dive n discover. I'll wait for them to return...
😏👍👍
💜
Yes...the ocean is very real..while 'space' is just a story from liers and grifters stealing our tax dollars!
The ocean is already mysterious, but these stories just took that fear to a whole new level! I never realized how terrifying the deep sea could truly be.
I find the ambient sound at the end of each story so eerie and expansive, but comforting at the same time 🤷♀️
I love the in between sound reminds me of a highway by my house when I was a kid
You help me sleep, and relax after a hard day at work. I wake up refreshed
I’m literally on a boat rn going to another province
DKG PEI Canada?
BC Bob yeah, it was for two hours
Under water stories make me feel like I can’t breathe 😷🤐🤭
Toronto Shirley Williams me too🥴
Same here 😭
I loved that 6th story. It's literally the plot of a new game called "Man of Medan" and now the story makes sense to me.
This guy has the best story telling voice.
I am from Louisiana and lived 20-30 miles from the coast. You can’t quite smell it from there but a short drive south and you can. After DH happened you could 100% smell it for months.
Omg i seriously love you for this, my favourite genre 🔥🔥🔥💖
Perfect timing for me to listen and go sleep
Cool Intro. Thank you for all the great stories. I listen almost every night .You truly are a professional.
I love the ocean or beach stories there some of my favorite other then the camping stories I love it
The scariest story, to me, was the cleanup of the gulf coast. How many more of these super spills have to happen before the gargantuan oil companies and gas loving consumers realize that the oceans are dying? Very scary.
Also very sad 😭 I love all life no matter how insignificant it may seem to most people
Story 6 is spooky as hell!!!
My biggest fear is the ocean 😨
Lol why
@@unusualswoop7660 Because I can't swim and I almost drowned as a kid when my sister pushed me off a float when we were at a lake.
Don be skurrd, I hold your hand 👍
@@horror_queen9185 best way to learn is in a life threatening situation thats how I learned
@@hiseminence2073 Might need you too lol.
Love the new opening really don't know how new it is but still love it😊😊😊
U are litterly my favorite story teller, ur voice is so calming please make more stories in general their so amazing
Omg my fav subject!!. After a hard hot day at work this is just what I need. This made my night man, you have no idea. THANK YOU!💙💜💚
Night y'all
You're my favorite horror narrator!
This is definitely by far one of the best! These stories brought out some history and lots of questions! Completely awesome! Great job!!
See, I thought it was perfectly reasonable to have a fear of the open ocean, this just confirms it.
THIS VIDEO WAS POSTED ON MY BIRTHDAY OMGGGG
Very interesting stories! I love stories about sharks!
Hello.for the first story , it's so scary I'm glad you made it, I do not know how to swim. 😌
The Orang Madahn (forgive me if I spelled that completely wrong) was such a creepy story, like I literally got chills listening..!
Great stories all around.! Story 1, Yes, knowing you're about to drown will really get your heart going...
Me Too! The 1st time I heard about that USS Indianapolis was off the movie jaws
