I'm a Private Investigator, I Found a Secret Government Coverup | Scary Stories from The Internet

[@draghamiri]

1:07 YESSSS! My husband and I are in recovery from opiate addiction (currently in our hometown, Lexington, KY-- but recently moved back from SLC!!) and we had listening parties in rehab when we were separated so we could feel close to each other. We've been listening to your channel for years and your stories and your narration have helped keep us sane through some truly dark times. I am happy to report now that we are both almost 6 months clean, and your narrations are what we sleep to every night, and for the first time in a long time, we are happy and hopeful and finally, after 8 long years in the literal living hell that is addiction, we are free at last! 😊 I truly never thought I would live to see the day. MAAAAD gratitude to you Ronnie, for all you have given us, and can't wait to hear the newest story right now! I'm walking downstairs right now as I type this to go tell my husband you just posted a new one so we can listen together-- now we get to do it in person, healthy clean and free! We love you Ronnie! 🙏-Becca and Mike

[@armouredtitan7716]

That’s amazing to hear, all the best to you guys!

[@rosemarybowser5543]

So happy for you guys! I'll have 4yrs in Feb , sadly my husband relapsed 9mo ago and died.

[@Darksomnium]

wow im so happy to hear you both are clean and doing well! your comment made my day and im so honored that the videos have been able to help at all! recovering from addiction is one of the hardest things we can go through, I'm so proud of you!

[@jenniferspoon5143]

Good luck to you! I have been on subs for over 6 years and have recently realized I'm not really clean, just traded one drug for another, and one drug dealer from a street corner,to another in a fancy office. Hope you live long and prosper! I'M PROUD OF YOU! 2%

[@draghamiri]

​@@armouredtitan7716thank you so much for the well wishes! 🙏Recovery is hard some days, but would absolutely take my WORST day in recovery over my BEST day in addiction--hands down, no contest.

Im a private investigator. I found a new Dark Somnium upload.

You fiend! >:V

If you are, then tell some stories of your own experience.

[@naderezzeddine5630]

Hey somnium I beat cancer that I’ve been battling threw for years just recently and I have listened to everything you’ve ever posted and this will be the first story cancer free I truly treasure you o wish you could know how much of an affect you have on people

[@basketballjunkie4216]

Congratulations man

[@brahtrumpwonbigly7309]

That's good. I lost a family friend to cancer about 4 years ago. I'm glad you're ok.

[@Darksomnium]

Wow that is so awesome! I'm so happy for you :)

[@raulallang.2389]

Positive mojo to you and your good health!

[@chubbystars4716]

Congratulations on fighting such a massive monster and beast. May freya bless you with good health and odin watch over you♡ skål to you and may you always be well from this point onward ❤

[@Asap_Bunny]

Not only is your narration top tier, but I also appreciate your choices of stories. A lot of stories now are hit or miss and it’s obvious you pick and choose rather than just pumping out any story with a catchy theme.

[@VintageNarwhal]

Agreed 100%

[@Terrince_Tate]

Dark, you're truly earning your sub count. You'll be a 1M in no time. Well deserved. Keep up the amazing work. Your narrations truly open the imagination.

[@Darksomnium]

Thank you so much :)

[@Chu_papi_57]

Hey dark I’m a college athlete. I just recently tore my ACL, it’s been about 2 weeks post surgery and your stories have been a huge help for my mental health. I’ve always been a huge fan ! In the past I would listen to your stories just for fun but now they are what helps me to keep pushing through rehab! Thank you so much for doing what you do ! The community loves you!!

[@Darksomnium]

oh dang im so sorry to hear that, i hope you recover well! and thank you so much, im so honored :) what kind of stories do you like the most?

[@Darksomnium]

Hey everyone! I hope you enjoy the new story! Let me know what you think and be sure to like and share (if you want to) What kind of stories would you like to see next?

[@holahulu-c4w]

Can't wait to listen my boi. Hope everything is going well 👑

[@spaceorion8939]

Could you do more C.K. Walker stories? Those are great! I also would love more of the backroads! Love your content as always man!

[@Somniumfan445]

bro as long as you keep putting that energy and emotion into these, you could narrate twilight and i’d listen to it lol

[@cloudbunnies]

space horror!! or like forest-y ones?

[@andrewstoring9194]

Is Borrasca V ever coming?

[@robbiec.2926]

Can't wait to listen to this before I sleep, exam tomorrow so sending a donation in thanks for helping my sleep!!!

[@scrappydoo7887]

Good luck with your exam 👍

[@GuyNamedCole]

Hey dark, hope all is well with you. I’m a college student that’s pretty far from home right now and it’s pretty hard, home sickness has been hitting pretty hard lately making each day a little difficult. Whenever I see a new video from you it genuinely makes my day, love the work you do and the effort you put into your videos, just wanted to say thank you.😄

[@Jeff-ej4rg]

Just gotta say, always love how when there’s a recording aspect to the story it slowly shifts from how it would sound through a recording to how it would sound being narrated in the video. Always an awesome touch!

[@scrappydoo7887]

Agreed 👍 it's one of the things I love too. There are a good few stories on here that Ronnie has done an excellent job with

[@kakyu07]

Both Viidith and dark posting vids the same day? I feel spoiled, going to have a great night driving home listening to my two fav narrators.

[@draghamiri]

Viidith is the ONLY other narrator I'll listen to, after the KING DS, and lighthouse horror sometimes if I'm cooking. Those three are by FAR the best narrators I've ever heard, but Ronnie still takes the cake! 🍰🎉

[@draghamiri]

It's truly a great day! 🙌💃🥳🎊

[@Katiesarabians]

​@@draghamiriI have a foursome with V, DS and Magnatar. LH isn't bad, but the other 3 have a voice quality that is so soothing to whatever frame of mind I'm in. It helps me get back to sleep when I wake up several times a night. I end up playing the stories over and over so I can get the whole story.

[@DusklightRadio]

As always, thank you for having me DS & for the community being so welcoming of my involvement any time I do a voice 🖤 great story, a delightful slow burn

[@WoundlickerML]

Great job as always TJ. I loved the accent!

[@josemontes9105]

Nice

[@scrappydoo7887]

I love your channel DR and as always you did a great job 👍

[@FeedMeSalt]

Fantastic work.

[@aaronandsuzeetv]

Your a great narrator yourselfTJ!

[@badiba79]

First: I love your channel and style. The best narrator I’ve found on KZbin. 🧡 Second: Would you consider narrating “The Room in the Tower” by E. F. Benson? I think you’d do it justice. 😁

[@Darksomnium]

Thank you so much! I will check that story out :)

[@spud161]

everyone say “thank you for feeding us ronnie” this is what i live for tysm i needed this to fold my laundry

[@CallumSmall-rn2hr]

51k views in less than 24 hours. You are a LEGEND in the narration space. Been watching since you began. I have been in and out of meth addiction struggling through life the past 10 years (I'm 27) without your narrations my anxiety and depression woulda drove me to do some dumb shit. Your part of my therapy brother.

[@Darksomnium]

I'm so glad the videos have been able to help. And thank you so much. I hope you're doing better these days :)

[@CallumSmall-rn2hr]

@@Darksomnium cheers man. They are. 4 months clean and counting.

[@thomasmichaels1293]

Not a clue how people come up with these stories but they give me the chills everytime

[@nevermorehollows]

Sometimes I wonder too! How do they do it!

[@LBKB2011]

That is, by far, one of the scariest stories I’ve ever heard. I was so engrossed! Totally fabulous! Many thx.

[@WolfxKingz]

Working at sea and have a strong fascination for stories of sea monsters/cryptids/demons is a strange combination that I do not regret! Thanks for the upload. This was a blast like the majority of your narration!

[@joeydiller1568]

So glad you’re back Somnium! Always a highlight of my day when you post! Make sure to take care of yourself!

[@Darksomnium]

thank you so much!

[@seen.3]

I love these private investigator stories they’re so good. It’s like that there are multiple stories in one

[@nevermorehollows]

Some of my favorites too!

[@cb10001]

This story was definitely one of those ones that I would come back to! Your work never fails to amaze me, I feel so honored to even be a listener. Can’t wait to buy your merch for the first time!

[@lax4695]

I absolutely love this story, it itches every story type and mythological legend I like, it's one of my favourite stories you've ever narrated. of course, woundlicker never fails to deliver as well.

[@road2aesthetics242]

Man. As a truck driver I definitely missed driving at night listening to your stories. Glad you’re back!!

[@fortsetzungfolgt6013]

I have really missed this. It's really good to have you back, it was nice hearing you in [T6] creepypasta Iceberg. Really had me thinking ya two would actually cook in a bigger collab! Anyway, Welcome back and thank you!

[@Darksomnium]

happy to be back! more stories on the way :)

[@IRLxKORA]

YAY!! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO UPLOAD BUDDY! have listened to every one of your stories more than twice, some of them 3 or 4 times least, I listen all day at work. I have 2 hours of work left today and this is the best way to end the day. Keep up your good work dude, you're so good at this. The fact that you started off doing this in your car when you didn't have a home, is so inspiring. Also, you're voice is THE most soothing voice to fall asleep to, even when you're telling scary stories and I'm in the dark. Anyways, cheers!

Been really down lately , stories have helped me . Just a simple thing but it’s helped . I fall asleep listening to these stories

[@FrostyBearPaws]

Aaaaaaay welcome back, I’m glad to see more regular updates, I hope you’re feel better after getting sick twice in a row and I hope your ferret is doing better!

[@shelbydogo7324]

Hey, I’m glad you’re back. I recently got into a car accident and I haven’t been able to see much or move much but I’m glad you’re back to posting more consistently since I watched all your videos and and they keep me company during the day. Thank you.

[@llamawithacomputer2206]

I love to listen to these stories at work and man, No one narrates like you, your attention to detail and sound design really helped me get immersed. Super excited for this one!

[@enclavegeneral3946]

Man this story is awsome this is a good classical creepasta which i love the fact the writer gives no clues on what happens next and leaves you fully imerced in the moment and the sceanery. Its tale is remarkable!!!!!

[@mrpbateman]

Thank you for your narrations, they have made my walks and chores much more pleasant.

[@Darksomnium]

thank you so much! im so glad you like the stories :)

[@sakukokko9963]

Just wanted to tell that ive been struggling with addiction for like +6 years there have been better times and then worse.. but your videos have helped me on my recovery so much as when im supposed to go to sleep my thoughts always start going places it shouldnt and things that when i think them they make me sweat and anxious, unable to fall asleep. Or if im just having meth in my mind unable to concentrate and feeling anxious, listening to your videos helps so much and i get so (sorry my English so bad im finnish) kinda absorbed into your stories its amazing and so helpful on those times, maybe the only thing that can actually make me forget the cravings and other anxious thoughts. The perfect escape from this hella anxiety inducing reality! And best stuff to fall asleep to! Thank youu keep it up

[@McC_Cal]

Ronny, I come back again after a few years to say I’ve seen you’ve come so far and I want to say, thanks. Thanks for showing me that even I can create stories of my own, as years have passed I continue to make an effort to listen to a video. Rarely get time to comment, but wanted to let you know, since last comment. I’m now a senior in college and have so much more in store, thanks again for being apart of my journey in life, from one artist to another. ~ Caleb

[@thatJP_ZA]

So glad you back to normal posting bro 👊🏻 Thoroughly enjoy listening to your videos…all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@ItzLewdz]

Can’t wait to hear this one! So glad you’re back Somnium ❤

[@Darksomnium]

i hope you like it!

[@MidnightTerror-f8b]

22:41 I'm a Private Investigator, I Found a Secret Government Coverup" truly makes me feel thrilled and tense. The author skillfully constructs the story with many intriguing details, making the reader feel like they are in a detective movie.

[@grv6142]

Thankyou so much for these stories man :D There have been so many "rules" stories that they've all seemed repetitive. You're a breath of fresh air. :>

[@theunknown8633]

1:05:52 I love the sirenhead audio in the background 😂❤ Also great narration, keep it up!!!

[@goldenshoggoth2143]

Woundlicker is definitely becoming a favorite author of mine that you narrated, Their stories are always so detailed and haunting.

[@diggingks7084]

Yes! Me too!

Nothing tops one hour long podcasts. I feel like it’s the ideal duration.

LOVE the hour long ones! When they are so good, like this one, it allows you to go more immersive.

Your insane timing strikes again, literally just finished a 2 hour youtube video i was listening to and was looking for what to listen to next. You're the best ❤

[@Darksomnium]

haha awsome! glad you could come by! i hope you like the story!

[@scrappydoo7887]

Thank you Ronnie 🙂 its excellent to hear your voice again back with a new story. I love that you bring so many different guest narrators to add variety and depth, naturally all of the sound design too! Hope you are well and your ferret is mending well too 👍

Ahhh finally, the last story was great too. It was a roller coaster of emotion 😉

[@johnny_my_penls_is_small_but]

Let´s go!!! Hope all is well and you know that your narrations always help out so many of us.

[@SeauxNOLALady]

Am I the only one who thinks that these authors have significantly more talent than the famous celebrity writers who have their faces plastered on every screen, magazine cover, and tabloid gossip site? I have personally read dozens of stories on Reddit that could easily be made into a blockbuster film or television series, without any reworking or intensive editing. The Half Priced Voodoo Shop, The Road to New Wilderness, and many other self posted stories are far better than the supposedly extraordinary ones that win all of the awards and are praised by the hipsters and artists.

[@chall3ng33v3rything]

Yes yes yes! This is the perfect length for stories! I feel like anything bigger than an hour and a half seems daunting for me

[@ElMalito187]

Fun fact: The Dark Somnium is going to be telling SCP logs and entries in the near future. I prayfully pray The Dark Somnium does a joint collaboration with TheVulgon, Eastside Show SCP and SCP Illustrated. Cheers 🍻

[@Darksomnium]

I've already talked to the vulgon and he is on board to collaborate!

[@The_Riddler-oi1li]

So happy to see more videos from you again somnium! I was getting quite worried about ya, but I’m glad you are back and doing better! Just the title itself has me hyped to hear this story! Any chance I could request some more stories similar to stolen tongues or more folklore based? I’ve always been obsessed with that kind of subject matter and you do it better than anybody!

[@wolfman7284]

This one was really good. Well written and very well narrated by you sir.

[@MrOfw150]

Great narration, sound design and you did an amazing job building up the narrative. the story was middle of the road.

This was easily one of the best ones by far if you can find more stories like this defenitley do it bc from start to finish I was hooked and the story was literally great.

Great to see you uploading again DS, I've tried listening to other channels in your absence but none of them are as immersive or hit quite like yours. You are a very talented narrator and I enjoy all of your content. Happy spooktober!

[@nathancleary5150]

From the title and the beginning of the story it is so far fantastic. Happy to have you back! Hope you are doing great. Also what programs do you use for your music and sound effects? Would love a deep space body snatcher story or 80s supernatural killer.

[@dirgewordsmithe]

Excellent narration as always, this is easily the hands down BEST horror channel in existence!! I wanted to like this story, especially since I DEFINITELY suffer from thalassophobia. They could have gone literally ANYWHERE with this story, but still simply settled for the tired 'demon' trope that so many talented writers seem to fall back on. 😩 This could have been amazing! The voice acting was absolutely flawless!! Definitely looking forward to the next one, sorry I was unable to finish this!

[@frithnanth1337]

wow such a great story !!! thanks for blessing us with such a crisp video

Hey man, I just wanted to say I love the stories. Also, I know you were apologizing for the delay in between videos. I just want to say, don't apologize. You owe nothing to anyone, your videos are a gift and should be appreciated as such. Always remember that your physical and mental health come before anything or anyone. I look forward to listening to another wonderful story and hopefully many more to come. Sincerely, A dedicated listener
