I Work At A Strange Gas Station. I've Got Some Stories To Tell. 

A moment of appreciation for Tic Tac the crow please? What a little icon ❤

The colors in this story have a deeper meaning than u thought. Being that some tribes have said that red is ths only color spirits can see, and that purple is associated with the spirit realm. A very interesting story indeed.

I LOVE THAT THE DOG SAVED THE LITTLE GIRL FROM FOLLOWING THE BALL IN TO THE WOODS I WAS HOPING THAT THE WATCHER DIDN'T HARM HER AND I LIKE THAT COOPER DID A GREAT JOB

I have to admit, that was one of the best stories I have heard on RU-vid. Drew me in, and kept my attention to the last minute. Bravo! And thanks!

I love this story. The fact that he stayed, and that everything worked in an odd harmony (especially the animals) made this so satisfying. Thank you, Stephen! ❤

First time I see someone putting so much efforts to telling a story. The results are great.

Great story and it's nice to finally have a character that read the rules, actually remembered them AND followed them!

I’m not usually a fan of gas station stories, but I’d love more on this one. It’s wholesome and has some good spooks and everything without overdoing it. I like it

Gotta be honest, I didn't much cotton to idea of you being on cam telling the stories. I just couldn't believe someone could pull it off without distracting from the story. Dang was I wrong! Watching you tell me these tales has actually engaged me more into the plots as you really are a damn good visual and voice actor! For all the hundreds of hours I have been engrossed listening to you LH, thank you.

2 minutes in & I had to stop & comment: YOU'RE A PHENOMENAL STORY TELLER!!!! 💜

You created a fascinating, entrancing, and scary world. I was completely immersed in the story. Well-acted, good animation, but not overdone, so my imagination could take over. Well done!

The thing that I love about this story is that the main character is not an idiot. All it took was the realization that TicToc indeed does what was described in the book to make him take the rest of instructions seriously.

That story was a banger. Sarge is a good boy. Hopefully the author makes it a series.

You know what doesn’t suck? THIS GUY AND HIS AMAZING TALENT OF TELLING US STORIES!! Love this channel!! Thanks again brother

You are a superior narrator sir. Listening to your recitation of your tale was a real treat!

I really like this. Cooper is a champ! He took things seriously and did his job to the best of his abilities, and most of all he stayed! So happy for Milton, Tic Tac, & Old Sarge to have him!

I love this one. It's a little spooky and mysterious without being gorey and giving me nightmares, and there's woods near by! I hope the writer keeps doing this story, and I hope you keep narrating them!

There is something soothing about being able to see you tell the story.

This is by far the most inspiring "A List Of Rules" story here! Please make "A List of Rules" playlist! They're all great! 🤩

I love gas station stories. I don’t know how you do this consistently now, without headphones and a mic sitting down. This has to be harder to produce than just recording your multi voices. You have this technic down.

I need more of this series of gas station stories, please pretty please... This one was so fantastic, I can't even imagine how good the next ones could be!!!

That's it! I'm going to write a Horror Anthology specifically for Lighthouse to Narrate! So addictive, just pure horror joy! The voices, on point EVERYTIME. EVERY narration literally makes the story come to life! Superb as always Mr. Lighthouse! 👀👀💯👏

I’m not sure that trading brand new camping gear for old junk was what the owner had in mind. Creepy gas station stories are the best! Thanks for this upload.

I love the stories where someone finds a sense of purpose.

With how you deliver the stories it's like these are your stories that you have personally lived.

You've been gifted with the PERFECT story telling voice...especially for suspense!

My first time visiting your show. You are a unbelievably excellent story teller. You sold me. ❤❤❤

That was GREAT! Well written, well performed, awesome storyline, five gold stars!

Really loved this story! I especially liked the ending. Far too many of these stories have unhappy and tragic endings, so this one was very much appreciated. It was terrific that the protagonist has found his calling as the new Gatekeeper. After all, the old "keeper" is elderly, and in poor health, he would need a younger replacement. You have to wonder if he was not led there by a higher power. And frankly, he is right about being needed there, far more than anywhere else. He is saving lives and protecting people, and maybe keeping dangerous supernatural creatures from roaming out of the park. A mysterious, spooky, but very satisfying story! Narration is fabulous, as always!

dude actually puts in the work on these videos and doesn't just slap on some text to speech, gotta appreciate the effort 😸

Love Weird Stories. Especially those that could happen any day to anybody who just happens to take that Extra Step down the road. GREAT JOB!

I was working at an Exxon Gas Station in 1989, I was 19. Back in the day, gas stations offered "full service" or self service. Self service is just what it sounds like. You pull up, get out, and fuel your car yourself. Full service is a relic of the past. You pull up, stay in your car, pop the hood and sit back and relax. The attended (that was me) will fuel your car, open your hood, check your belts and fluids, and check the tires. If any fluids were needed we put them in, if belts were needed, we could do that too. And of course we'd put air in the tires if needed. That year Exxon was responsible for one of the worst ecological disasters to that time when a supper tanker, Exxon Valdez, ran aground and spilled it's cargo into the sea iff the coast of Alaska. The oil washed up on shore almost instantly and Exxon Corp got a lot of anger directed at them. At some point after this a car pulled into Full service and as I leaned into the window to greet the driver something weird happened. There was a bright flash of light, I heard a popping sound and the next thing I knew I was sitting on the ground with a very sore mouth and blood dribbling onto my shirt. This guy had punched me in the mouth, apparently for what had happened in Alaska. My boss saw it happen and got the guy's license number and the police had no trouble finding and arresting him. Now here's the thing, the sign said Exxon, but I didn't work for Exxon Corp. I worked for the franchise owner. However, directly across the street from the gas station was an oil refinery filled with employees of Exxon Corp any one of them would have been happy to discus the Valdez with him. When they heard what had happened, most of them wanted to talk to the guy anyway. I'd known most of them for most of my life because my dad was one of those Exxon Corp employees. None of them were skinny teenagers with a fake leg though. Maybe he just wanted a fight he could win. Of course even then he launched a sneak attack then split before I even knew what had happened. Perhaps if it had been a fair fight he would have discovered exactly how busy a one legged man in an ass kicking contest actually is.

This is a good one! 👻

Fantastic story, really cool seeing you narrate and the images you include! I also love Tic Tac and Sarg, best characters honestly!!

Yeah, I couldn't see anyone else take that job after you besides you and the animals seem to take care of everyone there. Dude, you're definitely the apprentice. You fit this job.

Great story man! I love how everything just fits together and how the new guy realizes that it's not a joke. And that he actually likes the job. And let's face it. It is an important one. I think I would have drove around the camp sites during the day to get familiar, or acquainted with the area.

Love this one!!! Hope to hear more from Cooper and the gang!! Bravo Lighthouse!!

Cooper is a rare and unique individual to want to stay at such a strange job!

Old Sarge reminds me of the dog on Mr Pickles 😅

In 32 minutes I got introduced to iconic characters, good story, good protagonist, and a lot of suspense... THATS HOW YOU WRITE A STORY

Some of us have jobs a lot like this. Nice to see it as a story. Stories often save folks from odd danger.

Love how you decided to record this story with being on camera. It adds a bit more depth to the story as if you’re the guy working at the gas station. Also, all the other imagery throughout is great. I mostly listen to these at work so I don’t actually watch the video, but I’m on break right now and was like “wow this is impressive”. Im not sure if this is how you always do it because like I said I mostly go by audio, but just to wanted to compliment and appreciated the effort that goes into these videos that I’ve likely ignored up until now lol.

this would be a great game!! can be open world-ish, having a survival mode or easy cozy mode (where u just tend to the store while some crazy stuff happens sometimes)

This was an amazing story! I love how the rules dip in and out of craziness each rule like: 1: If orgalord the borg lord comes, hide under the desk 2: If the cash register gets stuck use wd40 to grease the hinges 3: if GORLOCK THE DESTROYER knocks on the door turn out the lights and play dead! 4; If a customer cant find the cotton candy look in the back in the box labeled "sweets"

Again, another great story from one of my favorites! These are the moments I listen to these, when I'm home alone, no kids at home,no husband and just me and my Lighthouse Horror stories! Headphones on, for the perfect sounds and some snacks.. lift my feet up, because I have meniskin in my left knee,and it hurts.. so listening to something eases my mind and pain! Thanks for helping me, in my daily struggle!!!❤

Lists are seriously becoming some of my favorites of your stories 🖤 amazing job! Keep it up!

So this is just my second story listening to you. I’m a huge fan of MrBallen, Odd Trails and NoSleep podcast. This is by far the BEST I’ve seen, your storytelling is top notch and the videos are amazing! I’m hooked.

I have listened to you for just over a year now ( on and off ) and I love these stories so thank you for all the work and effort you put in x many thanks xxx

This one is fantastic! It is definitely an intriguing job that kinda hooks you into it. And $20/hour is decent money. The storyteller did a great job.

I started listening to your channel because I love scary stories. You sir have me hooked on this channel to the point that I'm listening to your older stories because I can't get enough of your talent for story telling. Thank you for sharing your talent.

Bro this story could honesty be made into a tv series it's soo good. Love that main character chose to stay and work as the gate keeper's apprentice. Love it when the main character accepts their destiny and decides to fight the good fight.

This is one of the best presented stories on RU-vid. I was glued to every word the narrator was saying! Subscribed in a heartbeat!

I have to say that i am glad i found your channel. You are an amazing narrator and i cant wait for more stories.

Good evening everyone!

Do you happen to be a voice actor? If not, then you should be! What a unique and amazing voice, and the stories you choose are all so intriguing. You have a very cozy channel!

This story was amazing. I normally put on a story to sleep to and keep coming back to finish them after I fall asleep. But this one had me hooked from start to finish and I couldn't doze off with images of the environment in my head while listening. Hope a continuation is made!

I really wish this would become a series I love this story and I honestly wish I could have a job like this one it would be perfect for me.awesome story wish to hear more!! Oh and I loved the animals how they helped and were apart of the store especially the German shepherd so awsome!! Also you are sure a talented person with the narrations among everything else you are my number one story teller I wake every week for your story and I've listened to every one of your stories you've put out and I have to say that I never really was interested in listening to stories like this but I tried it one day and I picked one of your stories and I was hooked and I've listened to a lot of others since hearing you and no offense to the other narrator's but they just do not even compare or even have the talent that you have, the way you read/narrate the stories you just draw people in the way you do it, You are Amazing I truly wish you would do more than one story a week though lol for your stories are literally one of the top highlights of my week!!

That was a wonderful story!!! I like to listen to your stories as I play cards on my phone. Most nights I go to sleep with the chickens and sleep like a rock, for awhile. Once awake I try to stay quiet and not stir around so everyone else can sleep. Your voice is soothing and the cards are monitonous so I often listen and get sleepy again. In the story I like the help of Tictok and old Sarge. The fact that the owner is so concerned about helping people not wear the color red is astonishing. He loses a lot of money in his quest to save lives. So the story has a couple of heros. Nice change from spooky stories. Just so full of imagination! Kudos to the author! Also the young "assistant watcher" seems to be cut from the same cloth. Just wonderful.

This story was so good beyond words! Hoping for a sequel.🙏 And you being the narrator made it 10x awesome!

This was a fantastic story, so well done! My only comment would be about the animation at the end. The guy said that he wouldn’t have been able to see it if it wasn’t moving, and only it’s outline. Right as this bright electric giant skeleton thing appears onscreen, something you’d be able to see from miles away. It’s just incongruous with the otherwise amazing story. Love that he stayed and called if his dream job. A part 2 about the green lightning would be awesome, btw. Thanks for sharing it!

I gotta say, I’m loving the fact that not only are you on screen nowadays but how you’ve also start to illustrate for us as well what’s going on. Even though you always done well enough with just your voice to illustrate for me personally but I know some people aren’t like that, my fiancé sure needs that illustrations lol thank you for always finding ways to make your art form fit everyone’s needs, we appreciate you so much Lighthouse ❤

Aha I love that you appear and read to me on nights I can’t sleep lol. Thank you ❤

Great story! Very original and creative with no clichés. I hope to find more from this author as I'm invested now.

Darcy writes so very intriguingly..so great story to begin with! But the reciting of the material is splendid, just splendid! Only one other person on RU-vid does it as well, Mr. Ballin ! The best part of your recitation, is your ability to sound just like an old man! Thank you for a wonderful, wonderful time spent with you!!!

literally LOVED this one! i hope sarge is ok too, but he’s a good boy, i’m sure he’ll be back.

This is my favorite kind of creepypasta! And you narrate it to perfection! Not usually a Rules Story fan, but this author is perfect.

This is the best thing I’ve heard in a long time. Great sense of place and vivid characters. would love to read a longer version of this with more!

After listening to this, how could I not sub? This was some awesome story telling. I was visualizing everything you said - could almost smell the forest, hearing the crow caw and the dog barking. Thank you!!!

I usually listen to your stories like I would listen to an audiobooks. The extra effort you put into your videos is very much appreciated.

🌟A BIG THANKS 🌟 Thank you Lightnouse horror. And too to the authors for theses wonderful stories . Your hard work has got me through these stressful months I know I'm not the only one who appreciates you I just wanted to say how much it means to me and your fans again * thank you*

Found this channel as a recommendation and LOVED IT! What a great story teller you are. You had me gripped from start to finish! Subscribed, thank you! ❤

We appreciate how well you've articulated your insights. You'll always have our support.

God I loved this story! Your narration breathes incredible life to the characters and several times I caught myself digging my fingers into the armrest of the couch. Absolute FIRE!❤❤❤

Stephen your narration is brilliant & its great to watch you, tell these stories. Your a very rare ty narrator ty

This was awesome! The storytelling was good, the voice likeable so it doesn't grate on your nerves and make you stop, and the length of it was perfect so you don't get bored. Thank you!

So great to see that you found your purpose in life,which involves helping other's out. So heartwarming, thankyou for sharing it.

This story was really good! I’ve been listening to hours and hours of these stories for years and this is the first that I actually really enjoyed. Story telling was great! Thank you lighthouse horror!

This had me glued to the screen. Love the story. Great narration and visuals

I would absolutely LOVE a part 2 of this, i spent over an hour trying to find this again after hearing it once and it's definitely one of my favorite horror stories on RU-vid.

I loved this story. I am a hopeful writer and I was thinking I hope I write a story this good. With all the layers. I loved it!

I was more intrigued than scared, that's how I like a story, and your voice is pleasant and easy on the ears. Nice job. 👌

You are a natural storyteller. An incredible gift that has always been seen as so important in every culture dating back centuries. I'm sure you know this because you have it and use it beautifully. Thank you. Great story as well. xx

One of the best mystery suspense stories I remember from childhood was the the story The Iron Man. I must have been about 7 or 8 years old when I heard it. My school teacher would finish the afternoons before school ended by reading a bit more of the story for 30 minutes. We all sat around on the floor listening in silence transfixed. Our teacher was a great story teller. The story begins with a local rural town in England where the locals wake up one morning to discover something very alarming has happened during the night. Half a farmers tractor is missing..as though something has bitten it in half and taken a chunk of it. Mysteriously every morning the local people wake up to discover more and more metal objects, fencing, railway tracks, cars are being consumed by something leaving behind a trail of very large foot prints the size of two buses. The Iron Man! What a great story for kids 😄

I've only recently discovered this channel and I'm already obsessed!! There isn't many narrators on youtube that can grab my attention like him, and the stories are always really interesting too!!

This may be one of my favourites. Excellent narration, thank you light house horror and you C.J. Darcy for the wonderful experience!

I wish there was a sequel to this story. :-) When listening to you, the stories come alive and the pictures all fitted really well. You keep getting better and better. ❤

Excellent storytelling ❤ 20$ an hour is righteous bank!!😊

This is one of my favorites. I enjoy spending as much time as possible in our local national forest. Been hunting in it for decades.

This is excellent! I need part 2, 3, 4, etc.

It's a Privilege to catch one this early. Thanks a million Mr Lighthouse. Hope everyone's evening is going well and good

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS STORY ALL THE WAY THROUGH OMG IT WAS AMAZING! Thank you so so much Lighthouse for bringing it to life with your narration. It was super awesome!

This is fantastic storytelling! I’ve been searching for a long time ❤

Great story! Always when animals are part of the hero !! Great job on narration. I found myself suddenly out of breath like I had been running. Now thats GREAT narration!

OH, YEA!!! There we go!!! Thank you Stephen! I like where this is going! 👊😎

Exceptional The storyline the man speaking... I don't know if these stories are based on true stories. But for my experience some of these things are not far off from reality well done

Really enjoyed this one and can’t wait to dive into the rest of your catalog of stories. I couldn’t stop listening for even a moment.

I could listen to you telling these stories every day and night. Oh wait I already do that ! Lol I'm almost out of Playlists! 😂

Kudos 👏 to the author and narrator

Best Gas station job recruitment advertisement. Nothing can beat this.

This should be made into a movie. Very well written. And very well narrated! I just subscribed!
