Hey everyone! i hope you like the story, i would love to know what you think of the sound design on this one Going to see dune 2 in a little bit so my replies might be slower than normal for the next few hours. Checkout the authors new project! www.veloxbooks.com/book/a-different-kind-of-magic/

[@rustedcactus115]

right after I finished MrCreepypastas new upload. So lovelyyyyy 🥰 Im sure I'll love the sound design. It always slaps!

Good day somni, have you thought about or could it be possible to add your narrations onto Pandora? I've seen you're music is on there which I love

[@patrickbelcourt3090]

Hey, homie! Thanks for all that you do. Not to seem parasocial or anything, but I really connect with your content and audial presence. Keep up the good work!!

[@crayzee2607]

Sounds fantastic 👍

[@theweaponsmerchant5140]

As a firearms dealer, I appreciate the accurate description of a suppressor specifically how it does not silence the weapon, only changes the sound signature and reduces the output of the shot. Nice attention to detail on the authors part.

[@shallnotbeinfringedfoff]

You got any of those .40 cal shotguns the wife in the beginning is talking about? ;)

[@pubz9456]

@@shallnotbeinfringedfoffi think that was a narrating mistake and they probably meant handgun

[@RiceCubeTech]

@@shallnotbeinfringedfoffand the fact very few handguns have a metal grip. Most have plastic, mother of pearl, or wooden grips. Gripping straight up metal would be really uncomfortable 😂. Most pistols with metal on the grip still have wood or plastic covers on the side with only the middle being metal.

[@Tacoguy1000]

Sorry to ask as I am not a gun expert, but what use do silencers have?

[@theweaponsmerchant5140]

@@Tacoguy1000 the biggest thing is flash elimination and reduction of sound report at the shooters ear. It’s physically impossible to silence the firearm but what the suppressor does is reduce the decibel level so that the shooter doesn’t immediately loose all hearing especially in confined spaces. It’s still very loud generally speaking but I’d still rather have it than not.

[@QuirkWork_V13]

Its hard for me to be scared by a narration these days, but the screaming and the distortions actively sent chills down my back. I think the hair on my neck might have stood up too, which is a first. Y'all did a great job!

[@firefury6053]

This was terrifying. Your sound effects were perfectly done for this story. This was a different scary than "Fire in The Sky." The lengths the government were going through added a different twist. Loved your narration and guests' DS. Shout out to Romnex & have a good week!! ♡♡

im so glad you liked it!

I basically never comment on videos (mainly because I'm far too anxious to), but just want to say thank you for all of your hard work over the years. Your videos have helped me get through many long, tedious days and many hard spots. I love every detail you put into your work, and I'm SO excited to listen to this, as well as what you work on next. Thank you for all the work you do!

thank you so much for leaving a comment despite your anxieties, its nice so hear from you :) and im so glad that the videos have been able to help. I hope you like the story!

[@AndrinoiaXO]

this is one of the most grounded and real feeling stories i've listened to and you do a great job making the characters feel like real people. I also find the concept fascinating, there are several REAL stories of people coming close to or piercing a veil that wasn't meant to be pierced, and the events are covered up in a similar manner as this story. I think this story does a great job at asking a simple question with a lot of implications: "How much is being hidden from us?"

[@AbyssalSoda]

I think many people don't realize how close to reality this story comes.

[@Lunaeclipso999]

This was pretty good. Also if you really like alien horror movies 'Signs' is my favorite. Saw it as a kid and I always forget the name but never the ending. It and War of the World's are very nostalgic for me.

[@marksullivan6319]

Me too, I also saw signs as a kid as well. Great movie even better ending.

[@thunderhawk506]

@@marksullivan6319I mean it’s probably a thing of taste and nostalgia, but Signs is probably one of the worst movies of its kind. What dumb kind of aliens would be able to travel through space and time to invade earth, just to be beaten by a man with a bat and some fcking water. All that Christianity shit in between didn’t help the movie either.. Still had fun watching it just because I had to laugh every 2 minutes about the absurdity, though. ^^

[@ork0_095]

the last few stories have been way too good, hats off to you man..... keep up the work, it's a treat everytime you upload

[@ollisiebelt]

Really loved this. The production on this was fantastic and it reminded me a lot of old school radio dramas which you don't hear a lot of these days. Love your content and can't wait to hear more. I really appreciate the time and effort you're putting into these posts.

[@boolilamb5700]

I genuinely appreciate these stories you narrate, the sound effects are spot on the voices are just perfect. Believe it or not your stories have helped me get more sleep at night. I usually dont engage in the youtube community, but here I am commenting on this video, Thank you.

[@Darksomnium]

Wow, thank you!

[@Nic0lasJ.]

I loved it🥰 The recordings of them yelling at each other & then screaming had me creeped out as there is a bad storm outside right now. Perfect setting for a creepy pasta like this one. Great story & great narration 👍🏽😁

[@namikaze7338]

oh my fucking god. 33:40 that is some of, if not the, best fucking voice acting ive ever heard in my life, of course its also due to after effects, but holy shit the screams were beautiful. just perfect

[@Darksomnium]

thank you!

[@kate_lizzerd]

this story is absolutely AMAZING. this is the type of story I subscribed to. In the beginning, when I just found the channel, I've listened through all the best ones, and then I was left with the bloody-ghostly stuff that just isn't what I was looking for. BUT THIS. Damn, I love the tension, how it was put in "found tape" format, how we as listeners slowly put pieces together ourselves through the story. Nothing was "served" and told us upfront, it unfolded slowly. And the most haunting ones, are always the stories that aren't about something horryfying and scary, but the ones that are collected from small details. This is one of those. It's the small details. Amazing story, amazing narrations, thank you SOOO MUCH for it, I really feel like I'm brought back to life after such stories.

[@pandoriasbox]

Holy shit the screams around the latter half of the video are haunting. Amazing job. Also, this was masterfully written. Very unexpected. Some of the most terrifying material I've heard in a while.

[@zen_7748]

Perfect. I'm taking it easy because of my migraine. Thankfully it's my day off and I don't need to listen to this while at work. Thanks DS!

What an amazing rendition! The sound was top-notch as always! You truly managed to make it sound like a genuine documentary; excellent job!😀

[@RiceCubeTech]

The audio recordings were really unsettling. Great job! First time I’ve felt fear or the feeling something was wrong from a creepy pasta narration in a long time. You’re really changing the game compared to other narrators.

[@johnarade]

Probably won’t get a chance to see this… but I think you’re one of the greatest narrators on here. The way you can play different perspectives and still get every character to fill alive to really fill in the story is amazing. I follow other narrators and I can tell what kind of stories they will use just because of their voice can only do 1 or 2 characters. You don’t have that problem. Also, the Fourth Kind is one of my favorite movies.

[@Viva-qd2bo]

Thank you for your hard work as always! Looking forward to listening to this and whenever you narrate Borrasca V

[@unownyoutuber9049]

This is probably one of the best story's I've listened to in recent memory! And I really like the formatting, it would be cool to get more story's delivered in the documentary format this one was.

My goodness i just love how you end each story, with the fade into music, the perfect mix of eerie and mystical. 😅 Keep up the great work

Didn't expect this to be a cosmic horror... Please do something about vampires next!

[@stellablaize178]

I love the accurate depiction of the Man In Black's voice at the end of the final recording - the Men In Black are constantly described as sounding unnatural, stilted, like they aren't used to speaking or interacting with humans. He sounded like a text to speech generator and I LOVED IT

[@afropunkx]

I couldn’t imagine listening to this story on any other channel. The production quality is incredible. Imagine just listening to someone read this story? 😅

[@joshuabaker7961]

I’m just going back to work after my break and this video is what I need right now! Wouldn’t survive without these thank you Dark!! I really love your commentary opinions on the videos and wish you would tell us more of your opinions on longer videos. They give me a good perspective cause I tend to put myself in the characters shoes and you think of them as a story so I get an another viewpoint to think about. Honestly my favorite thing is when 2 stories take place in the same universe and as you tell a story I remember the other story and slowly make the connection and my jaw just drops as I feel like I solved the whole mystery 😂 Plus your audio effects really immerses me into the stories and I zone out at work listening to them while working and it’s the best part of my day when you drop a new story. Thank you so much 💙💙💙

[@Darksomnium]
