CreepCast Episode 0.

Alternatively, imagine youre sitting in your house and some strange creature spends 70 hours over several weeks just gnawing away at your wall trying to get in and crawl through, Thats what the cave ghoul had to put up with

25:08 dear editor, i know you may think that editing "what the dog doing?" subtly in the background might go unnoticed, but i noticed it. and it is a brilliant edit.

The delivery of “Its dark in here B, who gives a shit.” Absolutely kills me every time

I can’t believe both Papa Meat and Wendigoon got lost in a cave to make this video feel authentic as possible. That’s dedication

Changing Ted’s voice to a frat dude halfway through 😂 Love you guys together, this is great!

I love that this video is basically a proto creepcast, honestly after they made this video this was probably what sparked the creepcast

I like to imagine they found themselves climbing down into a shallow part of hell. And that the "creature" that they saw down there was actually Sisyphus rolling his Boulder back and forth for eternity

Picturing Ted as a frat dude just vaping huge clouds in the cave had me dying laughing haha. This is the duo I need in my life every single day.

MeatGoon needs to be a regular thing now that we know its a possibility.

I think the creepiest part of this story is the strange unanimous decision from Ted, Joe, and B to go back. Not a word of discussion or worry, they just all agree to go back to where I assume all three of them are killed. It’s like a trance that forces them into a suicidal mission.

Alternative title. Creep cast: pilot

Came for a scary cave story, stayed for Frat Boy Ted

This is definitely the best video to watch while stuck in a cave

the skeleton in the background of wendigoons camera stands as a reminder of when he *allegedly* pissed really fucking loud

I like to think that the monster is just an old and starving Sisyphus absolutely scared and desperate trying to escape his eternity of suffering

The teethless goblin with orange eyes bit made me spit my drink lmao

them describing Ted as a frat bro was too funny 😭😭

The beautiful of this story is it does something most creept pastas forgot how to do long long ago, which it knows how to shut up and just leave a mystery to be a mystery. I love it.

Very much feels like a Lovecraft story; with how Lovecrafts ghouls are depicted and how there are passages to other dimensions one can stumble upon in the depths of the earth

Ted: *rips a fat vape filling the cave with smoke* Also Ted: "Goddammit B, quit making it so dark in here."

Wendigoon’s giggling throughout this vid has added 10 years to my life

Literally just got home from my first caving trip and man this hits different. We were underground for around 4 hours about a mile deep, mostly belly crawling and wall-to-wall traversing. It’s incredible. Total darkness is no joke, and God forbid you get stuck or lose your way. Because unlike what most media would have you believe, much of the rock past a certain depth absorbs sound. We went through passages where if you were more than a few meters away and didn’t have a clear line of sight on someone’s mouth, you wouldn’t hear them even if they shouted. Even though we weren’t in there for very long some in the group burned out their headlamps from a full charge because they had them on the highest setting. We had extras ofc, and backup batteries for those extras, but God damn keep those bitches on the lowest possible brightness. I will absolutely go cave diving again. If someone gets stuck next time I go, I am more than willing to stay with them until either they squeeze out or emergency services arrives. I will never leave anyone behind if I can help it. It probably isn’t the worst way to die, but it’s up there with some of the most upsetting for anyone even remotely unsure about caving

Part of what makes this story so good is that the author is actually a caver so he's able to describe the whole process of getting into this cave so well.

The creepiest thing for me was that this thing in the cave was gently tugging on the rope as they were exiting, not because it was trying to follow them, but just to let Ted and B know that it knew they were there, and it didn't have to chase them to make them come back.

The reason I can’t normally get into creepy pastas is because of the lack of subtlety but this story is so subtle that I almost wanted answers

Listening to this after Borrasca and realizing that Kyle and Ted are both dude bros and would be best friends

Honestly, Ted the Caver is a far better story than I remembered it being. That ending is fucking chilling. Also, fuck you for the jumpscare at the very end, it got me just as I was writing this comment!

Daddy never disappoints, unlike my biological father.

I always appreciated that this story just ended with no update. I feel like a lesser author would have felt the need to add a final journal update, pulling the whole 'This is Ted's girlfriend/brother/whatever. I got his login and I'm here to update you all that he's gone missing-', but instead the story trusts the audience to understand the implication and come to their own conclusions. It's just so much more chilling that way.

The most shocking thing to me when I'm deep in a cave and it'll sound stupid but I think windigoon was kinda saying this, the rocks are so hard. There's a different feeling walking past a huge boulder above ground vs under. I doubt I'm explaining it adequately but that's my take.

I love how Wendigoon & MeatCanyon portray Ted & B as almost like a slightly more serious rendition of Tucker & Dale 💀💀💀

23:00 fucking killed me. Hearing Wendigoon laugh in the radio frequency sound during a serious moment was hilarious.

Currently stuck upside down in a cave. This video has been of great reassurance and I’m sure I’ll be back to my Mormon family soon

"the dog kept getting more anxious" I WONDER WHY

I like to imagine that all that happened to Joe was that he accidentally shit his pants and that’s why he didn’t want to elaborate.

Pape Meat making Wendigoon giggle like a little school girl is definitely what I needed to see today - great collab!

As someone who goes caving in my spare time, I can confirm that I never go in without a plan for descent monsters

Meat getting literally every number and date wrong as they start introducing the story really cracked me up 😂

Wendigoon had the most parabolic shoot up to RU-vid stardom and it was so well earned, the man had a real grind MeatCanyon and Wendigoon have the BEST content on YT right now

Papa Meat and Wendigoon need to make their own channel where they talk about spooky and crazy stuff. Their chemistry is awesome and both their channels give chill vibes. Edit: Ok I know they finally came together and made a podcast and let me tell you I love it. Creepcast is everything I wanted from a Papameat and Wendigoon collaboration I look forward to Saturdays even more now.

The chomp sound at 36:44 when Wendi eats something kills me everytime

Creepcast episode zero

The claustrophobic squeezing was the scariest part for me 😳😫 there’s no way I would immediately panic

What really creeps me out is the smell. In the Bible hell is described as brimstone and fire. People often over look the brimstone aspect, but brimstone is essentially sulfur. And burning sulfur smells like rotting eggs. A truly visceral smell. The idea that behind this round boulder, a 45 degree decline as far as he could see, just makes me imagine he maybe missed words in scripted "abandon all hope ye who enter"

The interesting thing to me, is that this isn't just a horror story. Imagine if you were a cave-man, who had only ever lived underground. And then you just hear this constant drilling, as someone, or something, is finding its way into your home. The thought is every bit as terrifying as the cavers discovering this place.

Is this canon to the creepcast universe?

Honestly, when I listened to it I actually thought it was THE ROCK that was the monster. For some reason I thought that was much creepier, like it was some kind of primordial being in the form of a rock… that can do things a person can somehow… but now I’m realizing the story is totally pointing towards a humanoid creature living there and I’m happy that they never exactly say what it looks like because I think that works SO well. You have to put something there that will scare you… apparently for me, it was a rock. 😂 anyway it’s my favorite creepypasta of all time and I have a hard time finding one that works so well for me, the slow burn with such realism as to everything happening is actually kind of hard for me to find.

One thing I’ve realised is that it’s possible the dog, with it’s more acute sense of smell, realised the horrible scent quickly and that’s what shook it, rather than it seeing anything directly. If it’s this scent which captures the victim in the hallucinations, anxiety and distress, than it’s clear why the order of victims goes as follows: whip(dog), joe, Ted, B’. (Note: Man I love how you never see anything of the creature, the omission of sight is an incredible technique, as you only have the vague indicators of scent, aural faculty and a sort of fifth sense of intuition. Almost as if you’re in a cave, throughout the entire story you are ‘in the dark’)

Wendigoon's laugh is infectious.

The effect of Ted and the others feeling like they need to return to the cave kinda reminds me of the effects that the gas of SCP 939 “with many voices,” has on its victims that escape from it.

I've been spelunking before. Going through a part of the cave where you had to jump from one ledge to another over a gap is in my top 5 scariest experiences. The cave was obviously dark so you could see the edge of the ledge, but you couldnt see the other one. You also couldnt see how deep the gap is, although you could hear the water rushing through it at the bottom. the guide said the gap was only 2 feet wide and about 20 feet deep, but it felt like i was jumping over an endless abyss.

These two could seriously start there own segment or RU-vid channel. They play off each other so so well.

I feel like after this, we need a horror comedy movie starring a frat bro that experiences a ton of creepy shit with his best friends but magically stays oblivious and chill about it the whole time. Meanwhile he always manages to stay out of danger by sheer dumb luck while his observant logical best friend is stressed and freaked out the whole time 😂

This is the first CreepCast in my opinion haha.

24:57 i love how invested they are the dog isn't real 😂😂

Wendigoon losing it over the Xerxes comment had me in tears, that whole part just had me struggling to breathe

A whole hour+ of fully edited papa meat is truly heaven. Papa bless.

Frat boy Ted and his disregard for scary shit is the best. “Oh yeah when I was working on the hole I saw a skinless man with pitch black eyes grinning at me on the other side you didn’t see that? Oh yeah he was pretty cool man. “

I love Papa Meat's impression of Ted as some idiot dudebro that has no clue he's in danger. Something about that characterization just kills me.

The overwhelming, nearly supernatural compulsion the men feel to return to the cave at the end gave me serious 'Enigma of Amigara Fault' vibes, as did the one guy describing how he had to squeeze his whole body into that impossibly tight passage, inching his way in deeper and deeper despite not knowing what was at the other end, only knowing that he *had* to keep going. I'll definitely have to check this story out this story on my own sometime, it's really very intriguing.

For a movie adaptation, I’d end it with a drone shot flying down a dirt road, with the cave entrance in the distance. A truck is parked out front and as you get closer you see it’s covered in dust and leaves, then credits roll.

Please make more readings of creepypasta stories with Wendigoo a thing.

As Wendigoon spoke on how caves are like being in the digestive system of a massive creature, it made me think that it would be super creepy/cool if this was linked to the mystery flesh pit story Like maybe the reason it was so hard to break through the rock surrounding the hole, it because its enamel and the maw lies on the other side. Would make a sick movie/video game

Started listening to this while doing some household chores and thinking "Oh man this story is still going, nice." thinking of the average length of a Papa Meat video. Then I saw how long the video is. Excellent.

As a caving guide I have an incredible urge to make a video actually reading these journals inside of a cave and going deeper with every journal. I have never heard this creepypasta before but holy shart it may be one of my favorites now.

lmao when my dad saw the Blair Witch in theaters he was freaking out wondering why the story was never printed in the papers

Cave divers are nuts. My cousin does it for a hobby and fell a good thirty feet, got hospitalized for almost a month, then has to use a cane for six months, and goes right back on an adventure once he was strong enough. You couldn't pay me to do it, but you gotta respect the tenacity.

This has honestly turned into my favorite RU-vid channel

“Maybe we’ll discover what’s making all those noises.” “What? Oh you mean that guy?” *In reference to some unknown eldritch cave being* Made me literally laugh out loud 😂

Proto-creepcast

this may be just a unique experience for me and i might be reading into it too much but this video in and of itself was a horrifying ride for me. I'm a huge horror fan and don't get scared by too much anymore but the claustrophobic backgrounds the voice filters and sound effects all made this video very immersive but then to have momentary breaks of just 2 fun personalities talk and joke about what was happening to break the tension only to be thrown back in after a minute or 2 was fun but also the points you both brought up about the story were terrifying food for thought to let sink in the next time we get thrown back into the tension of the story. I watched this alone in the dark on my pc and at times I got so rattled from just watching this video with no prior knowledge of the story that my mind created a horrible image in my head of what the creature might be and what it might look like if Ted were to see it peering over some rock as he was crawling into the cave. What my mind made up (from what I believe is a result of this format of storytelling combined with an incredibly written story) frightened me so bad i had to stop the video for a couple minutes, recollect myself and grow the balls to deal with the horrors my brain filled the gaps with and even typing that now gave me goosebumps and I feel a little bit worried to go grab some food from my kitchen now lol. Great video, you scared the hell out of me. Please do more 👍

meatcanyon making wendigoon giggle uncontrollably makes my day

If I had a nickel for every time wendigoon was involved in a horrifying cave story, I'd have two nickels. Which isnt a lot but its weird that it happened twice

I know this is kind of a goofy reading of the story also with some light-hearted commentary but the editing during the sections where y'all are just reading the story are just so beautiful and haunting.

I want yall to know I consider this creepcast episode zero.

I think that unspoken relief of seeing Joe also makes it seem like “oh I’m not crazy, Joe is feeling and knows too”

Ted the Caver is one of the few creepypastas that still holds up today

One detail I thought about was the wind stopping. If the creature moves the rocks and seals holes, it could cut off the airflow.

id love to see a filmed anthology of these types of stories. no horror, no crazy edits, no needless extra bullcrap to extend the story, just pure suspense, natural development and a realistic feeling.

Meat Canyon calling himself "A kid" at the age of 27 when Paranormal Activity came out is hilarious

Wendi's laugh elevates this collab more than previously thought possible

1:01 hits different now

I know this is pretty late, but If someone wants to hear a really good re-readind of this story, darksomnia captures the atmosphere perfectly. Honestly probably one of the best scary time story readers on RU-vid

Story time papa meat, my dad likes to explore old mines in Eureka Utah. One time I went with my dad, only one time, and after exploring for a bit we went to one of the main chambers and as I looked down I realized the dirt was falling through what turned out to be old rotten wooden boards covering an endless pit that I happened to be standing on. I noped the heck out of there and never went again. My dad on the other hand wanted to see how sturdy a platform was that was covering yet again a bottomless pit and started stomping on it x_x' His response to my concerns during his crazy adventures was simply, " Don't worry, I have life insurance. Your mom is covered".

The descriptions of the spelunking and the pictures are more terrifying to me than the supernatural portions of the story. It's this primal fear of getting stuck in the dark where no one can reach you or knows where you are

Can't believe Tommy Tallarico did the music for that Internet Historian video Wendigoon was in. His mother must be so proud

i didnt even think i was claustrophobic, but exhaling to scoot forward and then not sure if youll have a breath is such a repulsive feeling to imagine

Ted in the story to them: frat boy Ted in the story to me: Just to curious Ted irl: a sweet older guy who did it to prank his family Ted is the best person and character I've heard of.

Man I'd kill for more story readings like this, especially with Wendigoon

Just wanna give props to Nick for editing this whole thing!

I remember several years ago heroin addiction destroyed my life, I suffered from severe depression and a mental disorder until I was recommended to psilocybin mushroom treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly I'm 8 years clean now. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

This video was genuinely creepy with the both of you describing the story even more in depth. Gave me some goosebumps. The part where you describe the feeling of “running up the stairs because something is behind you.” Lingered with me throughout this story.

The Crossover we wanted to make a comeback has arrived.

"bro he was funny looking, orange eyes and no teeth" -Bro after meeting the dark lord

let’s be honest here, the fact that Hunter & Goon actually seem like intellectual old time friends that can make us (the viewers) seem like a part of the jokes and conversation mixed with the simple yet effective editing really tie everything together. the whole papa meat team is phenomenal, Goon is amazing as always, and Hunter allows the video to flow with such ease. I’m proud to be part of this community. stay safe everyone, have a happy Halloween. 🖤⚰️🤘🏻

What makes Ted the Caver great is that it leaves you wanting to know - it's pulling you into the cave.

I experienced Ted the Caver the first time in audio format. I was intrigued and it was kind of creepy, sure, but that led me to find the story for myself. Reading the blog yourself brings everything together. It really is the definitive way to experience it. It really is something special in the realm of creepypastas. There's a lot of really good creepypastas, but Ted the Caver exists in a sphere of its own, I think. Considering how early it was made, you have to think about that time frame and the novelty of the format. The fact it still holds up to this day is really special. Thanks to Papa Meat and Wendigoon for the awesome video! I can't wait for CreepCast because you two together are just a lot of fun to watch and listen to.

This and both episodes from Creep Cast have instantly made their way into my nightly background listen. Love you 2 gentlemen.
