Same! He’s so charming and interesting even talking about the most mundane things. It’s not even just his voice, although that is nice. It’s more the whole delivery, diction, syntax, all the subtle linguistic elements that make someone’s manner of speaking unique to them. Like, if a stranger took your best friend’s phone and took up the text conversation you had going with them, something would feel off pretty quickly just due to those slight differences in how people communicate, though it’s often hard to pinpoint specifics. Anyway, there is just something about the way he describes things that makes them more interesting to listen to.

This totally reminded me of what recently happened to me back in May. My husband and I ended up selling our house unexpectedly because of the market change. Well we literally had no place to live so we had to move in a much smaller home ,so much smaller than a lot of our furniture and belongings had to go into storage. You can imagine with this whole housing crisis going on in the states, that there were little to no storage units. Except for one , It was by the old railroad station that had been condemned and two young people had committed suicide they’re back in the 70s. The storage facility was one where it was where you store all of your belongings. You get a code and you enter. No one is there ever. I was by myself on the second floor unloading all of the boxes into the unit. When all of a sudden the elevator opens and no one is in it. At first I didn’t think anything of it. However when it happened three times in succession my heart began to race. And I began to hear a weird noise almost like old music. Like from an organ. I quickly threw the rest of the boxes and packages into the unit. And was running towards the elevator doors ,when I stupidly thought don’t take the elevator take the stairs. The smell was like as if someone had urinated and was smoking. I ran out of there so fast to myself in the car and took off. My husband went the next day. He had shouted at me for not locking the door to the storage unit, because someone had taken all of the dolls that I had put in boxes out of the storage unit and threw them all over the floor like a trail leading down to the the stairs. I haven’t been back since.

As for my preference in ghost stories, I usually hunt for something old and ancient (as long as it's not hunting me..) but I've been focusing on your stories lately. The modern world, with it's lack of the supernatural character of the old, is much more eerie when invaded by the old beasties and such. One expects an old dusty castle to have a beast, but not a storage facility. Creepy!! Well done.

Especially for my current situation, I am living in an apartment that it attached to a storage facility. Sometimes the alarm goes off and we have look at cameras and then do a walkthrough if nothing shows up on the monitor. Can be very creepy, since it is located on the middle of a deserted business park.

As for keeping your books, that is something I can understand perfectly. I grew up in a house with 17, count 'em, seventeen, bookcases in it. And books are as much a passion of mine as they were for my dad. Yes, I've written a few of my own, but more poetry than that. As for you, I only get an audio of you here on KZbin, but if there were a way of actually watching you perform these stories, that might be equally as enjoyable. Let me know if there's a way.

My first nighttime assignment was at a mental hospital. It gave me the bigger creeps, and I had to go around the empty grounds if I wanted to keep my job. As a result, I overcame my fear of the darkness. I can relate to your experiences and emotions in this story.

I won't be more specific, but there are those with podcasts or KZbin channels who narrate quite a lot of their own writing. I've gotten to the point where I'm disappointed when I come across these "vanity" works and wish that the the narrator would read something from one of the classics instead. I have to say that your channel is the exception -- in fact, I sometimes go through your archives expressly to find something you've written. And I very much appreciate your comments on what you've read. Sometimes I end up with a more complete understanding of these tales -- yours and others' -- through your addenda. For a few years I managed a storage facility in a huge old three-story building in Northern California. It was a newer facility than the one in your story, but there are many similarities. I believe that (at least some) storage facilities are inherently creepy places. You beautifully capture the feeling of ambiguity such places evoke. All those doors, and behind each a mystery, and what's behind those mysteries sometimes quotidian and sometimes much less so. I think that one day I will write about the darker aspects of working (and in my case, living) in such a place. But I'll be working on something else for now, as your story has such strength that I couldn't currently write anything having to do with a storage facility without your story bleeding through into mine. My thanks, as always, for your tale, both the authorship and the narration. I especially enjoyed this one.

I’ve never liked going into storage units but now I’ll never go in again. 🙀

Ok, a) I loved this. I love when you read us your original stuff. You are such a treasure. This gave me the heebeejeebees, and I relate so much to you growing attached to the storage dudes and those sorts of momentary friendships, rituals in your life. Moving is horrible, and I’m glad you’re almost done with it. B) We can’t comment on podcasts, so I just need to add that Again just made me squirm a whole bunch. It was the terrifying, but also so well done, both the author and your narration. Thank you for that experience! I just got a new puppy (an old new puppy), and it’s perfect timing, because I’m going to need company tonight. 😂

We are finaly done with it. I won't ever move again. 'Cept in my box. Well who knows? Never say never. I then struck up nodding acquaintances with the men at the local tip. that is where I put all the carboard boxes and all the things we'd paid to store but now realised we never needed them. That part is done now. Gratz on the puppy though. I love dogs.

Absolutely hated the judder man advert when I was younger gave me absolute nightmares for years as a child 😩 I think it was the unsettling music they played and the way it was structured 😅 and it actually got banned if you didn’t know because it got so many complaints about it scaring kids 😅

It's that time of year again, and I realized after listening to this VERY creepy and complex story again, that I hadn't commented. Listening to your explanations of what the "thing" was in the storage unit, I was waiting for you to mention the rats again. You wrote of them being there so I assumed the small creature with needle teeth might be some weird hybrid of a rat. But as you pointed out, you didn't actually intend to create something obvious. I guess I pictured something chewing on those old hides (disgusting image and apologies to vegetarians) and eventually going after fresher "hides." Still get a chill from this one 😳

Everyone who listened to this story should be giving it a thumbs up!! If you didn't, I hope you all have nightmares!! j/k :P

Storage being an expanding business is not a sign of a healthy economy is it ? Did you ever see the movie 'Creepshow' ? The boxes in 408 reminded me of the '1830 - Arctic Expedition' crate from that film and the surprise inside.

No, but I was just reading Drood by Dan Simmons and his man comes in a box. As does Dracula of course. There will be lots of box stories. I do recall a Pan Horror about a man buried alive. Horrible.

@@ClassicGhost Right on as far as reading 'Drood' goes. What an amazing and diabolically confusing book. I've actually read that great brick of a book twice just to try and clarify what really happened and my conclusion is Wilkie Collins is an extremely unreliable narrator but an absolutely fantastic book regardless. I'd love to know what parts are demonstrable fact about Dickens later life and what are Wilkie's hallucinations. It also gives a good picture of what horrible pain most people went about in back in those days. I also have a mysterious longing for a gallon jug of laudunum. 21st century schizoid man has his aches and pains too you know. And what a great villain Drood is - or is he ? And now do you know whereabouts Bluegate Fields where even the police wouldn't dare to tread is ? Fantastic and maddening - Drood by Dan Simmons (author of the equally endless and frightening 'The Terror' )

My husband often complains about all my books. Why can’t we rid ourselves of our books? I guess because they’re like old friends who unlike others, haven’t passed on but are still here to be visited-or not- whenever we wish.
