I had something similar happen to me , I felt something on top of me holding me down. I had the sheets over my head, Then I got up the nerve to pull the sheets off of me,and what was holding me down was gone. Then I turned on my light by the bed ,it flickered and then went off. I got out of that room turned on EVERY LIGHT and watched TV the rest of the night. That was my only super natural experience, and it scared the s**t out of me!!

[@noteleks_]

[Spoiler Warning] This story was absolutely terrifying, and one of my favorites of all time. The plot was coherent, the use of the entity wasn’t overdone, and the ending was handled very well. There is hope for a good ending, but there’s also the lingering chance that the creature is not entirely done with. I thought the scene where the protagonist visited the old house again was very well done, with no overt signals of the spirit, but just enough tip-offs to indicate a looming presence, keenly aware of the protagonist’s return. Everything was masterfully written and paced. For the audio, though, you absolutely KILLED this narration, Somnium. The music, sound effects, and your delivery elevated an already spectacular story into something I’d consider a perfect work in the horror genre. The emotion that you are able to pour into these characters is something that can be matched by no other. In my opinion, this might be one of, if not your best narration yet. You have truly outdone yourself. You and the author of this story have created one of the most chilling and amazing stories I’ve ever listened to. Unbelievable work, and the both of you deserve the highest of praise for dedicating your time into a project on a scale such as this.

[@thatoneweirdguy5714]

@@sebastiangreen2364 But the watcher warned the protagonist about the entity attacking Mary and never actually did any harm. He was strangled once by something but it didn't say if it was the watcher or the other being AND it mentioned the watcher making noises resembling that of an elder in his grandma's nursing home when it hid behind the curtain. My guess is it was his grandma or grandpa looking out for him.

[@godemarcus4245]

Beautifully written

[@milk.meister.mcChonky]

Ngl I thought the first two parts were extremely well-written but when the narrator started actually seeing the creature they kind of went ham on the adjectives. There were several sentences where two adjectives with essentially the same meaning were used back-to-back and many of them were used repetitively (take a shot every time he says rancid lol). I found it very distracting, towards the end. Overall it was a good story, but I think the author could use some practice in the power of restraint. Lots of potential though!! And as always the narration and sound design was on point.

I listened to the beginning of this story years ago narrated by a different KZbinr. I'm so happy to get to listen to the continuation of it this time narrated by my favorite horror KZbinr. Great iteration 💕 I felt genuinely scared. I always love the ambient sounds you add, they make the atmosphere feel even more terrifying. And god that ending - the fact that that creature might not be dead and the fact that that creature might have just been the mind playing tricks because of a mental illness - it's terrifying and such a good ending to this story 💕

[@emilia4_]

In my culture, they say that you shouldn't leave a space where you sleep at night, cuz someone might come and sleep with you. Get a lot of pillows if you have a big bed and sleep alone, and the same goes for the bunk below in this story. When you take off your flip-flops and climb into bed, the point should be facing away from where you sleep. If you turn them towards your bed, it signifies you're inviting the dead to sleep with you. And omg 5 minutes in I'm already scared. And this story is 1 hour 34 minutes. AWESOME!!

I play your channel on the 'mix' option through the night. So it goes through a continuous list. It helps so much with the tinnitus and how I wake up several times through the night. An advanced, early onset arthritis doesn't let me stay in the same position long. So I do the 'rotisserie chicken' between naps. Having the stories always playing help so much to get back to sleep. Also helps with the nonstop negative thoughts that spin in my head and build anxiety that blocks sleep and dig a deep depression. Consider yourself a part of health & medical care for so many of us. I know I'm not the only one you help and we appreciate you immensely. ❤

I wonder how many of us have these stories from bunk beds. Mine was the bottom bunk. An evil face would appear smiling, it was a man, nobody i recognized, with really gross teeth and black eyes and bright little lights as pupils looking down on me from the bunk above me, with a color changing mist behind it that slowly twisted. Every time, i would cover my head with my blanket, but i could still hear the mist twisting, like wind through a cracked window till i finally fell asleep, it never spoke. It only went on for a week, i think. Its been a long time. I was 6, and I've told my family that it happened ever since it started, but nobody believed me. It's never happened since, Yet I can vividly remember it to this day 30 years later.

I started to listen to it twice now in the middle of the night. Putting a reminder to listen to it tomorrow at day. I have gotten scared too easily the last few days. But will definitely listen. But as usual, you are amazing!!

[@josemonje780]

This gave me flashbacks as a kids, I would always see shadow figures on my walls at night. This story was great and sent chills down my spine

[@guilhermealvesnunes1876]

Hi. I firstly had contact with this on my language. I must say, nice work. This is one of the better creepypastas I've ever listened too. Tks for this.

[@soaky2152]

[@rachelschlomach2834]

Oh my gosh, 10/10 story, I love listening to these right before bed, though my sister thinks I'm crazy because of it, you're an amazing narrator and you create just an amazing ambient vibe. :]

[@MrDuneedon]

[@Darksomnium]

I hope you enjoy it when you hear it :)

[@MrDuneedon]

@@Darksomnium I’m sure I will!

[@emilydefrances5981]

Amazing story! Fabulous narration. Some of the sound work actually made me jump! I keep hearing that weezing in my imagination.

[@SlakeTBH]

If this was a movie, its definitely gonna be era defining and be best horror movie of the year no doubt, the atmosphere, the feels the vibe is just so eerie its crazy

[@Bluesit32]

The acting and directing would need to be top notch. They can't have someone narrating the whole time.

[@redacted1384]

This was probably one of the best narrations I've ever heard, another great one my man, keep it up

[@Darksomnium]

Thank you :)

[@shadows7936]

Another 1hour+ banger lets gooooo keep up the good work

[@Darksomnium]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@Jellyfish-g5d]

Ooooh, this one is a classic! I used to love reading this story back when I was twelve. You cannot imagine my excitement when I heard you narrating it! Great work as always.

[@pattzilla8602]

Listening to this right now, I never heard the original but I'm excited anyway Edit: HOLY CRAP IT'S THIS STORY

[@Darksomnium]

I hope you like it! :)

Your voice and your stories are the inner monologue that brighten my darkest days... ❤

[@amineouachao4625]

I always love when the story end with a mental illness..same for the monster in the basement story at the end he finds out he was mentally ill,but he was .that story is my favorite

[@zachdonley6782]

This is it. This is the first creepypasta I've ever read. Since then I've gone through some scarier, some not so much. But this one will always have a special place in my heart as being downright eerie and absolutely terrifying. This story does such a great job of painting a picture in my brain noodle that it sparked a horror obsession that is still going strong 11 years later. Thanks for the amazing narration Somnium. You absolutely KILLED it

[@megamovieman101]

WOW. I was genuinely anxious and kind of terrified the whole time during this one. I am a little curious about one thing, though. The MC thought that the Bedfellow and the Smotherer were different beings when he was a kid, but they ARE the same thing after all, right? And I’m not sure why, but... I wonder if this thing was his dead grandfather. Maybe his parents and grandmother told him false stories about how he was a hero while alive, when the wars had actually turned him into a sadistic psychopath. After dying, the tree outside the house, which has some kind of unnatural properties, enabled him to return as that- that THING. I know it’s a flimsy theory, but with how the thing resembled an emaciated old man, the way it specifically desecrated the soldier toy which the MC related to his grandfather, and the fact that even the parents seemed to pick up on something being off with that house after they moved into that one room... I don’t know. But regardless, even though my theory probably holds no water, I think it’s a sign of a good story when after it’s over, it still has the reader/listener/viewer thinking about it. And the narration was creepy AF, that fucking breathing is just... ugh...

[@saulgoodman8444]

I think your theory is pretty good,but I would like to add my own. On the second or third time the thing came into his room when je was a child he for a second thought of a ghost,which immediately changed the things behaviour instead of just staying on the lower bunk and shaking the bed it started to breathe and poke at the upper bunk. So I think it possible has a kind of mind reading ability that would maybe explain how it knew of the toy soldier and what it meant to the main character.

[@megamovieman101]

I think you’re right about the mind reading, although the creature seemed surprised when the car started to go off the cliff. Maybe it can only read minds when the MC is sleepy.

[@saulgoodman8444]

@@megamovieman101 yeah or maybe it couldn't read his mind anymore because he was so far away from his house.the same way it was weaker in the car or so it appeared to be

[@megamovieman101]

Ahh good point, Saul.

[@vithepiltoverenforcer8778]

Two months later, sorry for the poke. In any case, I think there were two different ghosts. One was the malevolent spirit of the elongated room, the one that tried to drag him into the wall, and smother him with the blankets. The other was the spirit of his grandfather, the watcher, the ghost of the old brown chair that was watching over his grandson and keeping him safe from the malevolent spirit. That's why he left when asked to stop, but once he left the smotherer attacked. It's also why the toy soldier was defaced, because what it represented was the guardian spirit of the grandfather.

[@charlieevergreen3514]

Beautifully written, and perfectly narrated, with amazing foley and music. Great all around.

[@BeeInABox]

im impressed. I am not easy to scare but I will not sleep tonight. bravo. your a fantastic narrator 👏👏👏👏

[@notapossum4296]

Listening to this leaves me with a bittersweet feeling. Its like I’ve won a long battle, but lost everything in the process. 10/10 👍
