The Strange Things on Dark Rural Roads

[@ghastlytales]

Ronnie, thanks so much for reading my story. I wrote this one many years ago, and there's actually a longer version which hints at the origins of the creature, but I only left some of those strands in the finished draft. The old factory where the creature lives is a real place that I encountered one night in Scotland, walking along a trail. It was an old power station and I remembered looking at it and instinctively feeling like I should keep my distance. I was certain I was being watched. In any case, a brilliant performance as always. You're one of the best out there. I really appreciate you taking the time, and hope to get those exclusive stories to you I promised many moons ago! I hope all is well. ~ Mike

[@Darksomnium]

Wow that's so awesome thank you for the added details, i always love narrating your work!

Finally, a third-person narrative! I've missed these! Jones seems okay; I respect any dog person. Okay, maybe not. Nope. Just -- no, Jones. No. I see what you did there, Michael Whitehouse.

I honestly laughed out loud when, not only was he dying, but he got to see his stupid car, the lifeless hunt of metal this psycho cared about more than any living thing (because he could kill with it), get torn to pieces in front of him, like the only thing that would actually hurt him emotionally and the creature chose to destroy it in front of him, almost like it knew

​@@EtamineEating meat to live is not at all the same as killing for the sake of killing. You know that. Especially since some people eat meat locally or hunt their own, which is more ethical than factory farming.

I love the psychological depth explored in this horror story. It goes beyond jump scares and delves into the human psyche. Truly thought-provoking!

[@huntercortez5884]

I have this saying, that not every great story is something original and grandiose. Sometimes it is an old idea, a simple story, but handled with such care that it shines above others of its kind. This, is definitely one of those stories, one of my favorites- despite all things. And your narration added so much to the experience. The sound design in this one was particularly immersive, really helped increase the dread and suspense, I was honestly impressed. And your of course voice work was excellent like always. 😊

[@devinedgin673]

You have to get extremely niche for an original story at this point. People (like Hollywood) could definitely do less copy and pasting though

[@FernBlackwood1995]

@@devinedgin673 Absolutely, if the inspirations were taken from more than one thing, rather that the copy-paste/“make everything the same” method, it might ALMOST make it feel like a new idea and it would absolutely be more refreshing than getting the same movie again just because “it’s what sells”.

[@mnalghrenn]

It's kind of funny that the narration is so thoughtful and deeply worded while the subject of the story probably couldn't rub two thoughts together.

[@dog-gone-it5944]

The sound was perfect. I live in the country where we have all kinds of critters that come into our yard. My dogs trapped something under the house once, and I came out to see what it was. I sent the dogs inside, and for over an hour, I could hear what sounded like water escaping from a hose or pipe. My first thought was a rattle snake, but I'd heard them before, and there wasn't a true rattle sound. Truly sounded like water. I spent a lot of time searching. Finally, it was just dark enough for my flashlight to show more. I finally saw a large body of the snake. I was on my knees, head down near the ground to where my hair was lying on the ground. I looked up only to realize the body I saw was only half of the snake. The other half was right beside my head. The part with the fangs and eyes staring at me was less than 1 foot away. That was the scariest thing I've ever experienced. I managed to get up, and I shot it. The rattlesnake was 5.5 feet long. The part under the house was so large that I thought it was curled up trying to hide. I never thought there was more of it.

[@kaos2405]

The sounds of the creature were awesome with headphones. If the audio in this video is what the mic can do then I am certainly looking forward to more videos from you.

Its nice to hear a more old school, strait to the point creepypasta sometimes. This was definitely more traditional in the strait forward sense. Great Cryptid/ hybrid monster too. The uncanny head with a spidery disjointed body.. creepy as hell. He saw those eyes in the dark so i take it this thing has eyeshine too? Great night vision makes it a nocturnal hunter and natural hooked claws with its speed and ambush capabilities makes it an Apex predator

[@fishsan4508]

There is so much detail about what Jones is thinking but the whole time I'm internally screaming "what happened to the Chinese food he was delivering?!". He drove to an abandoned factory... Why? It didn't say anything about him leaving the food for a lone night guard. It's the whole reason he's in the road, the damn sociopath, and the story doesn't tell me where the food went. I'm gonna be wondering all day.

[@cyndytower1263]

Actually the sound was perfect. Clear and able to hear the words very cleanly, the background music was as it should be, there but not overwhelming the talking.

Really good creature horror story. The sound design was really well done, both the sounds of the creature and the music. When he discovers the thing in the wheel-well, the tension conveyed thru the soundtrack is on point. The end tho, when he is attacked just as he makes it outside and lays there dying, this is THE SHIT. That music is fucking awesome. The high drone gives anxiety, the strings have incredible weight, and every time the sub hits it drives this darkness into your bones. Altogether, the music in this scene feels existentially like something absolutely brutal and most irrevocably final.

This is the best one I've heard in a long time. Perfectly balanced writing, perfect buildup and suspense, a perfect, grimy, dilapidated atmosphere, a fascinatingly alien but almost plausible monster, and a protagonist just relatable enough to sympathize with and just nasty enough to deserve what he got. Huge props to the author, and thanks for another great narration!

This was a hoot. I read it as revenge of the road kill.

While I know you asked specifically for audio feedback… I’m not the person to help. It sounded good. Your productions always sound polished to me though. Thanks for the great stories, always!

Your mic sounds amazing. Don't change a thing. Also, what's great about channels such as yours, iv told you before, is the mind who writes it. You put the cherry on top of course.

Now that was some good old fashioned body horror. And like you said I was hoping he would get what's coming to him. Lovely story as always. For the sound it was awesome for the most part. The mic upgrade really helps bring out your voice, just be careful with the s, t, p and st sounds. Thanks to that upgrade in mic quality you bombed those sounds a touch. Not to bad just enough to be noticeable with a set of headphones on. For the extra mixing loved it. The sounds help raise the tension in a story as you said didn't have that much. For listening quality the walking on gravel sound could be turned down a touch. It didn't over power your voice but was just loud enough to be distracting. The one part where the sound effects did over power your voice was when the creature hit Jones in the face and it was hard to hear what you said. Not sure if that was a choice to appease the KZbin algorithm or not but it was hard to hear you in that spot. Anyway a great story as always, and I hope my thoughts on the new mic and mixing helped.

If possible I’d love to hear a story from an apocalyptic type world. Zombies and all that jazz, anyways. Thank you for all you do!

Of course the dude who gets a thrill from making roadkill works for a Chinese restaurant lol

[@Goober_gobbler]

Interesting how he used living words for his car, like “bled out”. He cared for his car more than any animal

As a deer I am incredibly offended at being called vermin by someone named “jones”. The audacity of such a generic name.

[@dustygardendormouse]

literally. as a mouse i personally find vermin to be a compliment (not to invalidate your being upset, you have every right to be! and well yeah you’re not a mouse so i see why you’d feel hurt)! but this “jones” character turning it into a derogatory term really just screams insecurity about himself being a basic btch to me. unbelievable >:(

Love your work! As far as the new mic goes theres a little bit of a whistle tone, i feel like just throwing a low pass filter on would do the trick but not sure. (Its worth noting that im listening on a phone speaker so the higher frequencies are gonna be a little harsher) Not sure if you're using a pop filter or not but i definitely reccomend one, also you might benefit from a DeEsser plugin if you have to one. I'm being nitpicky tho, the new mic does sound great!

[@manamejeffbeezos]

You also might get a bit clearer of a sound if you turn the gain on the mic down and raise the volume in post through the compressor and whatnot. Using a preamp can also help with this. (I'm no expert tho, I just know a very small bit about mics and stuff lol)

You are by far my favourite story telling channel out there! The quality of your content is unmatched and I really love your voice. Every winter I binge your channel while knitting. Thank you for all the hours of amazing and spooky stories! :)

[@Darksomnium]

[@3D-seb]

i really liked the sound in this one well done man

[@nickmendoza6615]

I’ve been missing out on your videos the moment they come out but I’m glad I got this one as soon as possible. Can’t wait to hear your bigger projects when they release. Keep up the great work man 👍🏽

[@Darksomnium]

hey! thanks for coming by so early! I hope you enjoy the story!

[@WolfxKingz]

I knew I recognised this story as soon as I heard the 'Scoring system' This was narrated by the Horror Hill series awhile back. Nevertheless I still listened till the end and loved it. Excellent narration, music and sound effects. Speaking of Horror Hill, you should try the story in Season 1 Episode 1 "Contractions" by Kevin David Anderson. This is for the lovers of Cosmic Horror. Would love to see how you would narrate this, if you choose to do so. Great content as usual. Keep it up!
