I love how the guy chose to love and help Lucy rather than fear her. Its nice when mysterious deities or supernatural forces are depicted in a more positive light.

[@Furzkampfbomber]

Agreed, that is what I really don't like about a lot of those stories. As I see it, dealing with, let's say higher beings might be dangerous for human beings, simply because we might get burned like a moth in a candle's flame. But this does not have to mean that those beings have to be evil or ill-spirited, but more like a force of nature. Is a vulcan evil or radioactivity? No, they are not and yet we have learned to stay away from them, unless we are especially prepared, because they might kill us. I hate it when such beings act as if they are entitled to judge us, according to standards we never agreed to and usually even without us knowing said standards. Or when strange powerful creature number 2.741 tells the protagonist, whooops, I know I never send you the memo that you are not meant to be here, but for some reason this is also your fault and not mine and now I am going to make you all kill yourself. This is what I liked about this story, this woman/being is not evil, she is more like a friendly giant trying not to step onto us human ants.

[@durere]

Errr...the _mysterious deity_ in this case is literally Satan. Lucifer, whatever. Morning Star. I don't see the mystery. That's basically THE Bad Guy. "but hey maybe he ain't that bad". Well sht man, then wtf does "bad" even mean anymore anyway? If the ONE guy that is supposed to represent it, isn't IT? Here's a wild thought: maybe the actual Devil's actual plan is to make people less afraid of him. Thus making more people actually come to _his side._ And stories like this one and series like "Lucifer" are part of his PR strategy? Although I enjoyed it thoroughly, I must say this story is basically reverse Twilight, but much edgier.

[@VeronicaStorm98]

@@durere It is still an interesting representation of the devil. And by "mystery diety", I meant the representation of any kind of diety in a creepypasta story, not just Lucifer or God or the more commonly known ones. Various religions have their own dieties, and I feel like dieties in general are treated as overpowered, distant, unrelatable, or unforgiving to humans in Creepypasta stories. If you look at various mythologies, people of ancient times seemed to have a more personal, less distant connection to the dieties they worshiped. The story is about a person finding love and some kind of connection to Lucifer, even if Lucifer is literally a deciever.

[@Furzkampfbomber]

@@durere I get where you are coming from, but the thing is, while your explanation _does_ work to a point, other explanations do as well and actually better than yours. And when we are talking about Lucifer and decide to get biblical, you know it's not the devil who turns people into pillars of salt but God, don't you?

[@NaBa.O3O]

@@Furzkampfbomber In some depictions it's God, in others it's angels. Lucifer is an angel, albeit a fallen one, so 'saltifying' people doesn't sound far-fetched to me.

[@AzureFenris]

Absolutely loved this, I loved how he didn't abandon her and saw her for who she is and not what she is. He chose to love her and not abandon her I love that so much!

[@wanderingcalamity360]

Great narration, as always. This was a great story. I'm so glad that he didn't wimp out and bolt. The poor girl deserved love and happiness, too. Human or not. I really dig the ending.

[@LighthouseHorror]

same. I'm happy he stayed.

[@possums1010]

uuummmm... 'lucy the morning star"??? you almost snuck that one past us - getting us all wrapped up in this amazing story & pitch-perfect narration

[@Prizzlesticks]

You get the sense there's a whole world and lore built in behind the story that shines through in hints, and it's so fantastic. I feel like I've just heard the prologue of a really interesting epic, but it's also kinda chill and cottagecore, too. I dig it.

[@itjustmemanning8441]

I'm so happy he stayed with her. Love will always win. Thank you once again for a wonderful story.

[@leafy4142]

Except, you know, when it doesn't.

[@SuperTbriggs]

Thank you for the tale Shadypear. Emotionally descriptive with a hint of anime, wonderful. I would like to know if you will continue to write more stories in the future featuring the same characters?

[@PakChoiTheMeowcat]

No need same characters. This story had perfect ending. No need for part 2.

[@SuperTbriggs]

@@NaBa.O3O Thank you

[@laurelsilberman5705]

Wow! This was amazing. I was completely drawn in right from the start, the story is wonderful. I love stories about old gods and powerful ancient bloodlines and stuff like that, blended wonderfully with more mundane, personalized fisherman’s tales and typical human superstitions. What a great story. Wow. .

[@MoonDust22951]

This was a lovely gem of a story. I love stories with witchy elements to them and not quite human characters who aren't evil but also not exactly innocent/good either. Gave off the same vibe as stories about the fae, which I really dig.

[@NicoleChorney]

Shadypear, thank you for penning such a moving story. It proves again what we learned from Scooby-Doo, most monsters are regular humans driven by greed, desire, and fear.

[@MrApocalyptic165]

My man's obtained the love of an Old One and found immortality through love. Great story! 😁

[@jonathanhensley6141]

Small communities love to add spread rumors and Harrass people they consider different or outcasts. Great video.

[@lauraJP76]

This is the best story I've heard in a while. Thank you to the author and for a great narration. ❤👍

[@ellablake3843]

I don’t know how to say this without sounding creepy, but your voice calms my soul each night, thank you because that voice is the only thing I can count on

[@pandanprincess]

Amazing story and narration! I would love to hear more from these characters. More lore to who they are and what other forms they present as to different cultures other than mariner towns. Loved every second!!

[@pandanprincess]

@@NaBa.O3O thank you so much!!! I will check them out!

[@casiejackson7852]

I stumbled across your channel Last week, and I am so glad I did because I am hooked!!

Welcome aboard Casie! I hope you enjoy this one!

[@chewkuilan9939]

This is a beautiful ancient story , love this kind of story always and it's touches deep into everyone heart ,love the video too , thank you

[@TWBIAP]

@@carriecrackrock1221 Most creepypastas aren't tbh. At least this one was good.

[@D_M_U]

I like that love prevailed here. It's too often that it's overshadowed by fear in these stories.

[@bradyblackburn7877]

This just became my favorite thing you've ever done. Kudos to the author for a fantastic story and to you for breathing it into life.

[@dalekcat]

ooh GREAT STORY! Props to the Author! Very well narrated as well! ~also I really dig the 40ish min stories. it's the perfect length for my to/from work commute.

[@Cander617]

Man I loved this story and narration most original thing I've heard in a while, I almost want it to be a series but it ended beautifully. Great job!!

[@grantm.9109]

According to another youtube commenter (@NadiaBakker), The Salt Witch is actually part of a series of loosely related tales from this same author.

[@NaBa.O3O]

@@grantm.9109 👍

[@Ariye]

Thanks for making my nights so much better! 💚

[@LighthouseHorror]

Any time! Thanks for listening!

[@m.kameron6303]

To wake up where it's always morning. I'd like that. And I love this story. He made the right choice. I would've stayed, too...

[@pimpozza]

Great story by The Shadypear.. thanks for bringing it magically to life, Stephen. Great job! 👍

[@barbaracordova7574]

Ugh I'm late says U posted 3 minutes ago! 🤣 Thank you dear for all your hard work and dedication for Lil ol us Light House Horror LOYALS!!

[@kristintassos2741]

What a wonderful story!!! And of course flawlessly narrated as always... Thank you!!!

[@Eldagusto]

Fear the Old Blood, this is straight out of Bloodborne

[@williamfawkes8379]

Those Slavic myths are some interesting stories. That was a good one.

[@NaBa.O3O]

I keep coming back to rewatch this video. Your voice and the way you tell the story make everything sound oddly soothing.

[@TattooedPink]

That was beautiful. I would LOVE to see this as a movie 😍

[@zackllera3500]

Such an amazing ending of love and loyalty.

[@reneesoave2226]

Sometimes it’s nice to hear a good old fashion love story! Especially told by you.. love the ending . So true .

[@anniereddj]

Marvelous narration of this magnificent story by TheShadyPear! This was a really special one. Perfect time for such a tale as well. Thank you both for this wonderful story!!

[@laznoland4558]

This is one of the best story’s I’ve ever seen you narrate.

[@anthonypecha6714]

Turned out oddly wholesome. I think this was a good story.

[@john.john44]

Best story I've heard in a while. This sounds like a seasoned author's work. The amazing narration made this even better!

[@jormungander_the_world_serpent]

tbh this is just the most wholesome story from this channel.

[@lilyrosedaisyvioletsweetpe1207]

Have been binging the longer stories on Lighthouse Horror. This one is my fav so far.

[@elizabethgaspodnetich4322]

Such a beautiful and romantic story! You told this tale perfectly! I even have a tear in my eye!! I will be listening to this one again. This would make a cool movie too!

[@kirstenmiller6482]

Seeing the notification for a new Lighthouse video always makes my day better. Thanks again man 🤍

[@rioberry4595]

I absolutely love this story! Thank you for the narration as your works always keeps me company during my tedious work hours.

[@zirconexists]

A year later now, I’ve listened to this story many times now. I live for this story, it gives me hope.

[@D-Dollie]

Thoroughly enjoyed this one!!! Great work Shadypear and Lighthouse!! I might just press the repeat button and have another listen 🎧

[@pulseless5968]

Truly an amazing and unique story, it barely felt like a 40 minute story in the best way! Thanks for the narration Stephen!

[@admiralofcuteness]

This story is a wonderful pick! I wasn't expecting to get such heartwarming vibes from something borderline Lovecraftian, but now I kind of want to be friends with these guys.

[@juanrojas2595]

This is a wonderful story. I think this could make an amazing movie but even as a story alone it's enough to make my day. Definitely the best story I've heard in a very long time.

[@MelodieRose727]

What a lovely story. Beautifully narrated. ❤

[@TheDespairbear]

I'm not crying, you are crying...... That was amazing.

[@dianewright5575]

[@mortarion9813]

An absolute beaut of a story. Well done, ShadyPear, and well done Lighthouse for the wonderful narration! Edit: I tapped the finish button on instinct.

[@ginamilligan9385]

Truly beautiful story. People should ALWAYS be like this: blind to differences & reputations, unfounded rumors, unyielding in the practice of being willing to learn to love, regardless of rumors & heresay. And then, should that loved one reveal something you find frightening or shocking, we should continue to love and, if necessary, actively choose to adjust OUR opinions & personal perspectives so that the painful/shocking/frightening revelation no longer affects us. I've been through a situation like the one I described above, & I learned that the vast majority of relationships end altogether when the partner reveals this particular secret or activity. Did I like what I was told? Did I have even a modicum of interest in joining them? No. But I CHOSE to learn how to accept it; I CHOSE to learn how to be supportive & loving in word & action. Although I sometimes have a mild tendency to be afraid of being deceived after being in the dark for so many years, it's rare. And although I've never let on that the revelation shocked/upset me (other than expressing exasperation at the lie they'd kept for over a decade), it was a learning process on my part. Now, I've gotten totally used to it & regularly demonstrate my support. Is it something that I dig now? No. But I still dig the PERSON. Like I said, it's A CHOICE. Always.

[@eintyp5928]

Well, thanks for the invitation. If the chance does arrive and I recognize it as such, I'll definitely pay a visit.

[@suitov]

This... doesn't even feel like horror. I dig a Lovecraft pastiche that rises above Howard's frightened little mind. And, of course, we all stan a monster-enjoying wife guy. I can't say I'd have chosen any differently.

Wow! I have listened to a ton of these, but the scenes of this in live adaptation are dancing in my head like visions of crystal and salt. Superior story, that tugs upon the fairy tale foundations woven in my early youth. She said she wasn't a witch. Honestly, I'm ready to be there with them, but not overstay my welcome. Chills.
