@Buford Manning What in the world? Using anyone's toothbrush is gross because it's covered in their mouth bacteria. A woman using a man's toothbrush would be equally gross. How in the world does it have anything to do with gayness? I don't think gay couples use their toothbrushes interchangeably, just like everyone else.

I doubt the writer was suggesting that it was actually the biblical Leviathan down there lol. Edit: I think the way I would describe how the Bible verse felt to me was like.. "man's ignorance juxtaposed against something fully beyond man's comprehension" After all, the actual original description of Leviathan is basically a very artistic flourishy description of a crocodile lol.

[@caramellpanda]

"You found a way to calm it down?" "There's always a way." For those unaware, Podder is the pneumatics drill that Reg was talking about at the end. You have Hodder and Podder, Hodder being the drill that takes samples from the seabed. Podder is unfortunately built for sacrifices to the leviathan, you can tell by the way it's described as being a box with a crack in it. It's why seven people are always chosen from the rigs, to make up for the seven that will be sacrificed to appease the leviathan. Reg asked too many questions and he was therefore sacrificed. Whether Figgs was sacrificed or not via Podder is unknown, but he did realise what it was for. He likely witnessed seven crewmen being sent down in it and when he was told Podder returned without them he started putting the pieces together.

There’s got to be something go on here with the literal sirens and the mythological sirens song. The word “siren” also is thought to literally have its roots in words meaning “rope, cord, tie, fasten, binder and entangler.” In the Odyssey, Odysseus has to be tied to his ship to avoid being lured in by the sirens. The song is is alluring and promises to reveal truths. If a man hears the song, but doesn’t leave satisfied, and stays to satisfy more curiosity, he is doomed and death becomes certain. I’d be shocked if this wasn’t intentional.

I’ve been listening to creepy pastas, for over 2-3 years now, and let me tell you my friend you put real emotion into these stories and the music sets the tone, I find myself staring off at work just watching the story in my head, you are truly amazing !

[@dancingwiththedogsdj]

Dark Somnium, this is one I've listened to a few times and it's more than just a story when you listen under the right conditions...the voice, the ambiance, and the chilling sounds that accompany your narration.. you are incredible and talented. Thank you for all you do and have a great day! 🍻🌎❤️🎶🕺

[@Darksomnium]

Thank you I'm so glad you like it!

I usually dont listen to the longer stories but something motivated me to check this one out. Great story and I agree, the sound effects really added a lot to create some serious chills.

Since "Still wakes the Deep" is out it would be very fitting to make another oil rig horror story. Please make one oil rig horror stories are my favorite.

[@7adventcloud7]

The ocean stories are always my favorite, even without all the creatures that can hurt us, the ocean can be deadly especially for the inexperienced.

Heh, I already knew the rest of the poem at 40:00 Below the thunders of the upper deep; Far far beneath in the abysmal sea, His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee About his shadowy sides: above him swell Huge sponges of millennial growth and height; And far away into the sickly light, From many a wondrous grot and secret cell Unnumber’d and enormous polypi Winnow with giant fins the slumbering green. There hath he lain for ages and will lie Battening upon huge seaworms in his sleep Until the latter fire shall heat the deep; Then once by men and angels to be seen, In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.

love the way the listener can pretty much make the entity into whatever they choose. and it's plausible. but for me the ocean is alive and they're holding it back from devouring the globe.

[@rockspoon6528]

Did we ever find out who Potters was? Edit: Thanks to Gespach 0 for answering. 1:14:45 The Potter is the robo "drill" sent down. The actual feeding device is the pneumatic drill, however, which is described as a metal box with a crack that runs down the middle 1:15:15. This is describing a feeding trough, which ferries live victims to the monster before opening, letting it catch its prey as they drown in the depths.

[@nyxvaliant9624]

That's the only question I had. Maybe the military.

[@gespacho0902]

It was the underwater drill that reg gets sent to with the rest of the crew that knows too much They fed them to the creature

[@rockspoon6528]

@@gespacho0902 good catch, I had misheard that as "hoetter" (phoneticized). Figs must not have realized that it's the pneumatic drill which is the feeding trough, rather than the Potter.

[@itallia666]

You have really outdone yourself wth this story D'S, I was riveted, lying in the dark, headphones on, It's just after midnight GMT. If I look out my bedroom window I can see the North Sea, living just across the road from the beach onto the North Sea, at this hour its jet black but calm wth moonlight glinting its surface.. So apt was this story, your narration was above par excellent & musically superb Thank you for this.

[@RudolfJvVuuren]

[@itallia666]

@@RudolfJvVuuren thank you, yes it is quite a sight. My North Sea view is where many of the Viking invaders came into this coastal area of Northumbria My village is called Seaton Sluice & is a wild & rugged coast but unspoiled, no tourist infiltration & its the way we like it. Not that we are xenophobic, we are very friendly & hospitable but we are clannish, its hard to explain, probably our Viking blood haha Keep safe & well in our anxious days .

[@duckgo8755]

@@jamesscott2611 Pretty basic story. If you are a fan of body horror or are a fan of creatures that look like the thing, then yeah, it is good. The voice acting is good, and I haven't encountered any bugs at all. My only issue with it is the action sequences where you have to click and hold to jump on a platform or open a door, but that's a personal nitpick of mine

[@bwoodard907]

I work up on Prudhoe bay on the oil and gas drilling rigs! It’s cold, flat and desolate. In the winter the sun completely sets for about 30 days not breaking the horizon. Even tho, it still lights up the day just barely, just for a while. Work camps are few and far between and there’s lots of strange action in the nights sky. Man you should do an awesome story about working rigs up there, thousands of scenarios and possibilities fir scary or haunted stories. You could pick my brain for material, I wouldn’t mind one bit! I’ve been up there working all types of hitches and tours from 2004 til now!! Love your stories bro, thanks buddy

[@sevenseven7990]

SPOILER ALERT!!!! I think the narrator is being fed to the entity at the end along with all the others who ask too many questions, want to know too much, think of it this way the entity would probably need to eat or have sacrifices given to it to keep it in a controlable state, and as for the drill described at the end, the floor had a crack down the center, and the drawing behind the book case, the hlaf circle is described as a maw. The creature caught the narrator with its gaze and from there he was doomed, unable to stop himself from seeking more answers leading him right into the jaws of the beast.

[@truthseeker1905]

I always leave these and many other well known creepypasta story narrators on while trying to sleep, it soothes me, especially during this long stint in the hospital. Truthfully though this one I couldn't sleep to, I had to lay with my eyes closed, imagining what the "entity" looked like through your voice, i had to know what was going to happen next. You're amazing at what you do pal, and its been more helpful than you know while hospitalized this last year. Please keep it up, my only regret is I can't donate as of yet.

Remember the drawing of the square with a line through it he found on the wall in the library? It had a pacman like mouth under it, like it was going to eat the box. He's going down in that box. The white beard guy said sadly "there's always a way" - to pacify the entity. He was a sacrifice, possibly chosen by the entity itself, hence the song he heard in his head
