"The Preacher House of Cedar Creek" | Creepypasta | Horror Story

[@beautifulcrazey7713]

Monster's are always easy to laugh at in the sunshine. So true.

[@LighthouseHorror]

yep! I thought that was a great line

[@arlem525]

It's like one of my favorite lines from Hell House by Richard Matheson. "A few lights go on and everyone thinks they're safe. " perhaps a paraphrase. I don't have it in front of me.

If I got told “lucky her” after saying my loved one died by the old hag I would have responded with “well lucky you, you’ll be there soon to but I feel like your permanent visit will be a lot hotter”

[@NaBa.O3O]

For sure. I was hoping to hear a point in the story, even if in passing, about an old librarian disappearing. It was very disappointing.

Good for him. Good for choosing to hurt and to heal. Good job little guy.

[@TayTayMakesBeats]

Rare that a pasta resonates with me on a personal level, also rare that a pasta has a genuinely satisfying ending. Beutifully written, conveys its themes in a very natural and emotionally potent way. Wish more writers embraced subtlety.

[@BlackKara]

@@TayTayMakesBeats 100% agree. Horror is the perfect space to explore things like trauma, loss, pain and more. So when someone goes for it and it turns out beautifully it is such a treat. Esp. when there is amazing narration. :3

[@cmbhey8164]

Such a sad story. But evil always attacks you when you're grieving.

[@addisonpage1]

This is probably one of the best stories I've heard on any channel online. So poignant, beautiful, eloquent. A satisfying ending. I want to read/hear more from this author!

This felt like a complete book or movie playing in my head. Very good writing and plot, I was so invested in the story! Also wonderful narration as known from you. 50 minutes of your voice, what a treat! If you ever did an audio book I'd probably listen to the whole thing at once.

[@yesterdayitrained]

“Back the way you came.” The world’s most direct yet ‘polite’ way to say “go the f*** away!”

[@TayTayMakesBeats]

Amazing story, brilliantly narrated. It's rare that a pasta gets me emotional, especially while also being effectively creepy and suspenseful.

[@luke.thedrifter2281]

Shoutout to the author for mentioning my favorite singer Hank Williams...I guess everyone hasn’t forgotten Ole Hank just yet.

[@crystalkauffman3322]

My husband & I like him also. My parents listened to old music while I was growing up, so I like many different types of music.

"Lost the capacity for shame even before I was born" Is just my new favorite burn I heard today lately. I'm filing that one away for sure.

[@escobarsblunt]

This was refreshing honeslty, reminds me of the older horror books I use to read. So much more depth, I miss painting out such a clear picture in my mind while listening/reading.

[@toniaollerton6113]

Good story. In case, your younger viewers have never used a pay phone and it's been decades since I did, you have to put coins (usually quarters) into the slot and then you get a dial tone! The protagonist must never had used one before too.

[@darklyngstudios]

Or the author is too young to know that

[@scottcantdance804]

Also for the younger viewers, if no one answered your call, you could hang up and get your change back. If someone's voicemail or answering machine picked up, you had to hang up really quickly to avoid losing your change. Most of the time, people would hold the receiver to their ear with one hand, and have their other hand on the receivers cradle, to end the call as quickly as they could.

[@dylanancheta527]

I’ve listened to this story so many times, with LHH narrating each time (: and it is up there with my top favorite stories. I always envision this story taking place in the late 70’s to the early 80’s with how everything from the cars to the motel and hole in the wall burger place looked. It’s a truly scary story that is so beautiful at the same time! Keep up the AMAZING work LHH, you are extraordinary in every way! 😁 Love from Texas ♥️🤠😁

Wonderful story which for me was melancholic in that sad rainy day way… and of grieving and loss - one of the few survivors who listened to the advice. Renard would’ve been relieved he did… but then again, (the author) has always been prone to flights of fancy.

Wow, most creepypastas I've read/listened to are written by young, inexperienced authors, and it usually comes through pretty clearly. I don't mean that as an insult; I'm not a writer myself, gifted or otherwise and creepypastas are a great way to get some good early experience and feedback. However, the author of this story is an excellent writer, possibly the best I've come across in the countless ones I've read and listened to.
