I LOVE to put my ear buds in and listen to your videos after the kids go to bed while doing housework while I assume they're sleeping until one of them comes up behind me and lays a hand on me and I scream and they laugh knowing exactly what I'm listening to. We all love to listen to you. Sometimes me and the kids sit around the TV with all the lights out and listen to you. Keep in mind my kids are 27, 21,18 so yes they have a dark side of humor running through them..just like me. I work in a long term care facility & have grownup on a farm in the sticks of Ohio so I've had my fair share of skin walker and ghost stories. I KNOW there's things that can't be explained and things you wouldn't want to. Anyways, LOVE your stuff!!! Pardon the rambling.

[@JDReeve2008]

My oldest loves to listen too! I listen while working at my desk or cleaning in the evenings. T My oldest loves scaring me lol

[@perfectlyimperfect9129]

I don't know real " skinwalkers" live anywhere near Ohio , don't doubt something werid though

[@conkyjoe8932]

Man that's SO cool haha. I'd say you've done a damn fine job of raising them if they're all those ages and still love to sit down as a fam and listen to some Darkness Prevails haha. I'm 35, and tried to get my Mom into these types of videos...Darkness Prevails and the myriad of other "SpookyTubers", i.e. What Lurks Beneath, Swamp Dweller, The Leaf, etc etc. And she gets too caught up in the stories that are...well, obviously fake, and she let's that color her view of the ones that I think we'd probably all agree sound legitimate. You have to take the downright silly stories w/ a grain of salt and view them as just entertaining to really be able to appreciate the ones that sound utterly terrifying and probably really did happen. So I got tired of the constant eyeroll's and murmurs of, "Oh, OKAY, yea I bet that REALLY happened..." I wish my Mom was as cool as you are! Hahaha

[@Amethyst-on-paws-t9w]

I do the same thing 😂

[@MegaSusanc]

Well, tonight, my son, age 13, actually asked me to put Darkness Prevails on, lol. So I put this one on got us through dinner, and it was our bedtime 🌙 stories. Hahaha We had a big storm today, and it knocked everything out, but our street is the only one with power, but the cable internet and everything else is out lol but my phone is the only one with internet connection so that's what they wanted my husband and my son so that's what I put on. Lol. My son likes to listen with me every so often. I think that's great. I love that your babies are still sitting down with you. That is just awesome. I believe they are your babies no matter what age. GOD BLESS, Y'ALL. KEEP HAVING THOSE AWESOME NIGHTS TOGETHER.

[@jetaniki8051]

I like your voice quality in every narration. It’s not overly dramatic but not devoid of emotion. I like that it’s not robotic, but above all, it has this unique ‘quietness’ that is creepy and befitting its genre.

[@wulfheart101]

I love your videos. I used to listen to them while on my commute to work every day. Since I moved to a new area and my ride is shorter, I fell out of my routine. I had to click on this video though. I love the Appalachian mountains. I've lived near them all my life.

[@oneeyedpapi8058]

Have you seen anything out there?

[@Ernesto-r4t]

​@@oneeyedpapi8058 ty. I ask as well🙂

[@wulfheart101]

​@@oneeyedpapi8058No most of it is pretty chill from what I've seen. I love the woods, though when I listen to these I think twice. I have a buddy who is one of those hikers who go on hikes for weeks at a time. I should ask him if he's every seen anything.

[@claudes319]

Listening to Darkness with waves crashing in at the inlet. PERFECT💯

[@marykelly1528]

I usually listen to you dashing in the Florida's forest area. Right noe I am listening to you during Tropical storm Debbie. .Perfect weather for this.

[@susanbutler2542]

Thank you so much darkness. I hope this finds you well. God bless.❤

[@Poke_Doll]

As a Virginian it was exciting getting to hear several paranormal & cryptid stories from my area, although on the other hand it's a little unnerving knowing it now haha. I even temporarily lived in that same area from the Park Ranger-treeman story. It's a very quaint, beautiful place with super friendly people too, we really loved the small tight-knit community there as well. Oh & I can't forget the surprisingly sweet feral cats that my Granny would feed, there were a ton of stray kitties for some reason but they were never aggressive just skittish. Actually, now that I'm reminiscing I realize that was also at the same time that I first discovered this channel plus Swamp, Mort, Let's Read & the other greats. Wow that was so long ago for me, like at least 5-6 years ago now. It's so wild to think that you've actually been narrating for that long, if not longer. Anyway I digress, thanks for always entertaining us, I couldn't exactly tell you how but I know it's influenced my life in a positive way. I don't know where I'd be right now without my daily spooky stories. Edit: I forgot to mention this cool thing but the story with the female hiker on the AT in Wintergreen that saw the white lights & the night sky turning red, well I live an hour away from there & locally it's known as a popular skiing destination because of the resort but now that it's summer & people are going there for camping & hiking I've recently heard rumors that there's been frequent Bigfoot sightings there & you know when there's bigfoot sightings there's sometimes also reports of weird lights, UAPs, or other high strangeness going on so I wonder if that's relevant. I think there may have been a lighthearted local news story on it a couple months back but I'll have to check & see if I can find it.

[@phillipthomas1379]

Maintenance man in Arkansas here. Love these while I work. Keep em coming! ❤

[@bjgoodrich5864]

I would love to hear new Irish stories soon.🍀

[@Brad-kh6bz]

Always look forward for your new videos. I live in the Appalachian mountains in NC. We really have some strange and terrifying things around here. Keep bringing us new reasons to always feel paranoid in our woods.

[@Mike-METALS]

Each thumbnail picture the art is awesome like the cabin in the mist I love them I wish they where great big posters frame it on the wall I would love it

[@josiegipson90]

I've been trying to get him to put them in an adult coloring book for months. Poster sized pics to color would be awesome too. The artwork on this channel is amazing. I haven't colored since I had my son. I still purchase all my favorite artists newly released coloring books. I'd love to get out all my fancy colored pencils and get to coloring and layering. Single image poster sized would be great for alcohol markers.

[@jasonjamesbond8347]

I like that the guy at the desk shakes when you speak. Haha

[@sammyjo1686]

I think it all depends where one is from with pronunciation of Appalachian . I’ve heard it pronounced both ways from many . Personally I’ve known the pronunciation appa-lay-shian the longest.

[@kelcytaylor3718]

I heard black mountain lion and then tuned out the rest of the video as I googled the black mountain lion rabbit hole for 4 hours

[@josiegipson90]

The majority of people tend to visualize the stories as they're being read. When I heard the creepy tree man story I visualized a gnarly tree man throwing his crusty old hemorrhoids. I don't know why. Maybe he was birthing little gnarly tree man babies... LMAO

[@mysticunicorn1968]

In my area of the Appalachian mountains it's pronounced Appalachia as in latch your doors & windows good, lock them all & make sure all the curtains are closed when it gets dark. Stay inside until daylight.

Regarding that first story, I wonder what would have happened to the main character if they had crossed that bridge? The way the dog was standing in the road facing towards the bridge; I wonder if it was trying to warn him not to cross it. To the writer of that story, did anything happen around that bridge after your encounter?

While I've never heard that seen a hell hound 3 times leads you to death, I can understand how such a saying came to be, considering Cerberus is a 3-headed hell hound(of sorts). Anyway, I have seen 2 hell hounds at one time, but apparently for them, seeing me once led to their death. Though it should also be noted they likely weren't there for me, but another who had seen 1 before. That person survived the ordeal, and are still alive to today, a decade later.

[@justincase9839]

Yes 1. Have true stories will bring In attention 2. Use AI Voice Apps so no mess ups 3. Don’t pay anyone for a animation video bc at start u will get no views so just keep making video and stay motivated 4. Be descriptive 5. Don’t have any spelling mistakes, punctuation errors as it will mess up story. Good luck I’m also maybe going to do this stuff. But imma also wanting to go to the Appalachian Mountain for a camping investigation with friends. And we gonna try get some evidence lol 😂

The Vicky church story was great and relatable. I remember being forced to go to church and the pastor was the only kind hearted man. His wife and daughter we evil AF. They scowled at me every time I entered. Think mean girls. That was the daughter. Clickish… I stopped going after the 4th visit. Feel bad for the pastor because his wife and daughter seem like spoiled narcissists.
