John Carpenter's The Thing's rules of telling whose the monster doesn't really apply here. Especially since they may bleed like us and aren't a single cell organism that absorbs it'ts host. But trusting the dog was probably the one rule that they should have not broken. How can they know Steve wasn't one of them too?
Not transphobic if your a straight man who is kissing a person you think was a born a genetic woman. And still remains one in name and Identity. Can anything just not be something "Offensive" or political anymore. Beats the hell out of what Hollywood puts out now.
As a New Englander this one chilled me to the core, and that's saying something since it's like 12°F right now. This was like a twisted version of Twilight Zone's gremling on the wing, Invasion of the body snatchers, Steven King's IT, and John Carpenter's THE THING combined With no one rule for surviving any of them applying here except fore 3... 1) Trust no one to be who you think they are 2) Only trust any info you knew about anyone told before everything started. All info after is suspected to be tainted afterwards. 3) And for no reasone do you rule out dogs to be one of them. Remember the clammering of clawed feet behind Andrew as he ran back to the cafeteria the first time, or the tapping at's door when the creature was trying to get them back out in the halls? As though it became a dog right?... ...Um Amdrew. Do you think it's wise to let the dog get so close to your groin like tha- "AAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!" ...Nevermind.
You didn't mansion who goes there by Earl Campbell Jr he rote the story in 1928 i don't know how Howard Hawks based his 1951 the thing from another world because it was more of a vampire and the original creature in the story was a shapeshifter could look like anybody
@@buckylamb8674 I didn't mention those because I'm not familiar with either of them. So I can't exactly forget something I don't know anything about. But their are many different stories about creatures that mimic people or things in both fiction, folk lore, and historical mythos . So there's bound to have overlapping simularities between tales at one place or another.
There's a reason Russia has been so interested on that area and why they built a nuclear ice breaker that was the biggest and could go further into the ice than any other ship. The arktika is the largest and most powerful ice breaker ship in the world!
I'm 59 years old not phone savvy never knew this existed. Been listening to spook stories or about 8 months now. But you are definitely my favorite narrator!! Love the hollows end stories!! Weird and funny kind of like me!
I enjoyed the professional monster Hunter series very much. So much that the catch phrase caught in my head. F monsters in fill the blanks. As an example I put a couple potatoes in the oven to have with dinner. Me being me are promptly forgot about. By the time I remember and got him out of the oven they were unedible. Without even I said fuck monsters and and fuck baked potatos LMAO!! I hope you laugh as hard as I did after I realized I said it
My brother worked on the Alaskan pipeline and he told me that started sending teams up to work 2 weeks on snd 2 weeks before ppl began to hallucinate- he said all you see for miles in any direction is white snow and ice - so yeah you do see things much like being in the desert- frozen statues or frozen ppl ??
Found a statue in the snow. “Don’t bring that back to the base.” Brings to base. “Don’t take that inside!” Brings frozen statue inside. “Don’t let that thaw out!” Statue is now thawing…. Oh Lordy, y’all done broke all the rules. Protect the dogos, please! It’s not their fault you are all idiots.
Okay guys. I just saw this isn't Jordan's story. And while I hate spoilers as much as anyone, one of my dogs is named Steve....i can't handle dog death stories anyway so...have a ❤️. I'm 3/4 thru....should I just stop here? Plz & thx. I'll remove the comment immediately upon reply.
I thought they were gonna use the dog Steve to sniff out who was real and who was fake. I wonder when the old man got snatched. Had to before the power when out.
Scary, excellent writing.....and a wonderful job narrating this story.. and although it's (the creature in the arctic or antarctic camp) been done before several times, I never heard it done as a podcast format.. I'm not sure what you call these story creepypasta tales told by one person, as opposed to, say, radio plays, with actors doing dialog. Is there an actual word for this type of format?
Ok so just stumbled onto your channel and am enjoying it, are the stories someone elses or yours or are they just fictional stories you wrote? Either way i enjoy them while at work with my earbuds!!
A bit of both! This one was written by another author named Lucas Whorley but I wrote a bunch of them myself as well. The Hollow's End stories are my pride and joy 😊
So, I think that you may be seeing this as too much of a personal thing and less of a logical thing. Think of this like breast cancer. Breast cancer can happen in both men and women and the reason for this is simply because women tend to have more breast tissue comparably and therefore, get breast cancer more than men. There literally is not many other reasons other than that. Genetically, there are conditions that can predispose a female, but again, its due to the breast tissue. This is a logical fact, right? So, applying that same idea, the reason why they use military Vets as sharp shooter assassins isn't because veterans are inherently these terrible evil corrupt people. It's because certain jobs in the military provide far more training and practice in sharp shooting than the average person would ever viably get, without a specific reason. They also have less space available and altogether, just have less resources that are granted to some Jobs. Now, being an assassin isn't specifically because theyre ex military. It's due to human greed. MANY people would become an assassin without any moral issues due to the pay. Everyone has a price. If the price is right, everyone would be willing to do anything. Even killing someone. So, veterans are used stereotypically because they possess a necessary skill that not many other people or professions need.. so, they would logically be the ones who would be asked to do the job. Many assassins aren't veterans. This isn't a personal or moral attack on the military. It's simply logistics.
If you’re referring to Donovan, he acted reasonably, given the situation: being stalked by murderous shape-shifters, and dealing with mentally taxing and disorienting physical environment, on top of that. He didn’t kill anyone he believed to be human, and a soldier is more likely to retaliate against an existential threat with violence because they’ve been trained for that. It was also completely warranted for him to shoot the actual shapeshifters. He wasn’t portrayed as being violent prior to the incursion, and he wasn’t an assassin. Had Jones turned out to be a doppelgänger, all of his actions would have been heroic. I also agree that having flawed characters in a story is part of good writing.
I think characters having flaws is an important aspect of writing, and it often makes characters more three dimensional and interesting. In this case I think it was more the one character having a predisposed dislike for veterans because of a bad life experience where she was hurt by one. Obviously that's not okay, but it does factor into the story later and *spoiler alert* she seems to change her opinion later. The author is just portraying a character who had a bad life experience and was traumatized by it, and then learns to grow and realize that people are all different and she shouldn't judge one vet because of another. In this one there is some aspect of wondering whether the person is really the person they are claiming to be as well, so we don't know for sure which Donovan is real until towards the end.
@@JordanGrupe Thank you for that explaination. As a veteran I have been sterotyped on several occassions. At first I didn't like the portrayal. But as the story progressed it made sense. Now, my only complaint.... What happened to the last two in the helicopter... lol
Absolutely,watch for a hurricane to gain strength after making land fall. Doplar picked up the energy transmission while the gulf washed away. (antenna arrays.) Earthquakes seem dialed in well to. Old tech.

I was thinking the heart in the circle had to do with the super sticker. But it just sends emojis up on the screen at the top.
Reminds me of the Thing; the modern one that is, but it has somewhat of a different slant, I liked it.

Is this story real or was it fiction? There are real cryptids out there that can do things like that.
This story is even more fun if you think of it as an episode of Scooby Doo. Zoinks! Jinkies! Ruh-roe!
Jordan. Today, for me, you were the nameless empress holding out cupped hands to my inner Sebastian 💫 Thank you❣️🙏🏻❣️. ✨🐉✨
I swear I thought I heard Mike Rowe narrating this story. Sounds so much like him.
There's a hint of Beavis n butt head now n then to! Lol

Spiritual successor of The Thing. Great!
Great story Jordan, you told it so well. Whoop whoop
Reminds me of The Thing.
Jordan kicks ass!!!!! Another awesome story...
Something about long stories that take place in the arctic are always good.
loving the story so far but at 50 mins when they call the creature a ningen, man, those are an antarctic cryptid
Jordan….How did you know?
Jen Finkle… hhhhmmmm
Love love love this story....❤❤❤
I thought they were gonna use the dog Steve to sniff out who was real and who was fake. I wonder when the old man got snatched. Had to before the power when out.
Wow!Great story! Thank you for another wonderful read.
Yet another telling of who goes thar by Earl Campbell Jr 1928
this is amazingly hilarious.
50:11 sleaze stacks for the evil lizard people. 😅
Another great video bro, thank you for making this shitty work day alot better.
I really liked this story 👍 I listened to it 5 times. Thank you
Nah man that was me, i built the statues. Sorry i forgot to tell yah

33:45 7c is actually fairly warm, like tee shirts would be a bit chilly but not crazy cold.
'Humanoid' is a real word.
A statue shaped like a human is 'humanoid', but not 'human'.
Words...
They have meaning.
Great sty, had me the whole way,😊😊😊
Isnt this story in some movie? Sounds familiar but dont remember where.
Not Thing some else newer movie
Great fiction full stop
I see many of them on my street after a fresh snowfall. They're called "snowmen"
Nicely done.
Awesome Jordan, thanks!
If you're going to travel to the Arctic to do some kind of research then the least I can do is to listen to what you have to say about it
Great story 👏👏👏👏
Good story. Kept my attention not too scary but good tomt like it too scary so much enjoyed this one.
Thanks Jordan!
About 30 mins in I couldn’t help but imagine among us
