Some folks are feeling betrayed or calling me lazy. And hey, I'm not happy about settling with an AI clone of my voice for one of my shows. But hear me out: (1) The same amount of human narration from me will still be appearing on this channel (2) My new schedule has allowed me to start exercising again, and I was able to watch scary movies with my wife almost every evening this October (3) I don't feel insanely panicked and overworked anymore. So, I'm sorry for the AI voice for Alone in the Woods. But I am still working hard to bring you new content, and above all my family is most important. Thank you all for your understanding and support! Catch my human voice on Unexplained Encounters and Tales from the Break Room!

To the person from the story about hearing, but not seeing something in the spring foliage, sounds like a Big Foot. The grunts, knocking sounds you mentioned. They are suspected of being able to become invisible. That is why they're so elusive and tracks have been found that seem to stop as if they disappeared.

"Can't tell the difference". You can absolutely tell the difference. I avoid watching your AI-voiced videos because they sound very uncanny valley and I can't stand listening to it. It's super off-putting, and I can't go more than a few minutes without needing to click off--- it's super wrong sounding, the inflections are awful and it's hard not to focus on them and the uncanniness instead of on the stories being "read" by the AI. It makes the whole thing unenjoyable to me.

The story about the supernatural tree with the portal must've taken place in Indonesia, or somewhere else in the Islamic bits of southeast Asia. Brunei perhaps? If you've never had a chance to listen to traditional Indonesian gamelan music, it's amazingly beautiful. It's called gamelan because "gamel" means "hammer", which is the implement used to strike the instruments.
