I really hope that there's a part two for this where Tim meets with Jason and they fight his mother together

"The boy walked further into the basement, so I had to follow him." NOPE most definitely not.

[@jaimejones3177]

😂 Right?!

[@AoiFlame02]

This guy, claims to be 40+, breaks SO many horror movie rules. Right after he saw that monster in the cave??? this guy has NO common sense whatsoever. Like, author made the guy as dumb as possible just to progress the story. Especially the part where they were running away and he heard his sister's voice. He just conveniently forgets the cave full of monsters and goes in deeper. It's unbelievable he's still alive at this point.

[@kimberlyshepherd270]

Thank you so much!!! I've been having a hard time lately. Between me having brain cancer and everything that goes with that (anxiety, depression and stress) and my husband had to go to the hospital last night cuz he has chrones and his stomach was hurting awful. I needed this to lay down with. Thank you again!!

[@samanthawatts2733]

Lighthouse is my favorite narrator. I think I've listened to all of his stories at least once. I always look for him in my feeds before looking at anything else. Thanks for another great story. I sure hope we hear more of this storyline...and soon.

[@sonnig8583]

Same here. Him and raven reads are my favs. Lighthouse is quite the handsome man too!🥰

[@yoyoty88]

Same, and he's the only one I've followed like that, checking on almost every day, just hoping to get some more of this talented art

[@ZackeTheBrute]

Most of them are good but where they fall short is sometimes picking sub par source material. Lighthouse usually picks good ones.

[@samanthawatts2733]

@yoyoty88 I know. I wish he could post new stuff more often. I appreciate everything he posts. The more I listen to him, the more I want to listen to him. Lol

[@BetterThanMeOfCourse]

I was looking for a story to fall asleep to, but I ended up listening to the full thing, great story. I’m curious what Tim really is, if he’s the same as his mother or different. I hope there is another part to this, as the strange creatures and characters were too interesting to be a one-off.

[@janedoex1398]

It screams for a prequel AND a sequel. ( sorry I have to Set the languages up)

A good long on of his to fall asleep to or at least try is I think my grandfather is a serial killer.

There's been a lot of stories based on Ohio lately.. and I'm here for it!! I live in Columbus Ohio, and I love going around the city and other parts of the state during spooky season finding haunted places to explore! There's more places than most people know about!! Hidden Gems, that's for sure!! Last year, I went to this Cemetery that's way out in the woods somewhere, I got lost and stumbled across it.. anyway, I was walking through it and there were a few gravestones that would sort of "Glow" , it was pretty neat. Got some nice pictures too of some weird black spaces and some orbs floating around by one specific headstone

Hey I live in Columbus too off of east Weber. Seems like year round playing pokemon go at night you can run into spooky things😆

[@Rai_S82]

I used to LOVE Let's Read but I find his voice monotonous now after finding Lighthouse! Darkness Prevails and Raven Reads have lovely voices, but Raven often reads stories from the general public from Reddit which aren't written particularly well... The Dark Somnium has some great stories. (I know you didn't ask for any of this so apologies if you already know about all of the others 🫣)

People! look up cognitive behavioral therapy for dummies there is a free PDF version .. Read the chapter(s) that "speak to you " first . It will take time for your brain to process and the negative ingrained thoughts be countered.

[@tormentedslayer7498]

@@erismana2105 Okay I'll have to try that out! Thanks for the info. I'm still learning how combat the negative thoughts that plague me everyday. I've tried so many different things at this point I can't stop now... there has to be something out there along with my meds to keep it under control. But I'm only human an it does get the best of me some days, i see a Psychitrist an a Therapist they've been the most help so far. Cause I had a stay in the hospital I hurt myself cause I didn't want to feel fear anymore... I'd rather feel pain then the fear... but i recovered from those dark dark days.
