Holy crap Stephen that was excellent. One of the best monster stories I have heard in years . You were a total boss in bringing it to life, this was one of your best narrations to date and probably sets a new standard for the channel . Wow sums it up the best. Totally blown away by the quality of the writing and your narration. Thank you very much for one of the best stories i have heard. Cheers Stephen, Lee.
@@LighthouseHorror Yeah man it was a beaut! I have to be honest though the level of awareness in the sound and vibration was so unique it had a positively rememberd feel as opposed to a created feel to the writing style. I am someone with a deep affiliation to sound and vibration including everything from music to rail guns, thunder storms to deep vane mining with ultrasound . I still feel the secret of perpetual motion will be solved with vibration. Sorry..I digress. So, to hear an old old strory type told in such a refreshing way it just drew me the hell in. Then throw (quite literally) dismembered human body parts in, the level of immersion I had for the first time in a long time caused me to actually wince at the description of the bones protruding through the shin of the severed leg. I honestly thought I was so overly saturated in gore that nothing would ever make me swallow hard again. Sorry, I got to leave work early and I'm a bit excited hahaha. Huge credit to both you Stephen and the Author, you both have unique talent and I'm so pleased I got to hear this brought together by you both. Cheers, Lee.
Will there be a sequel to this story Stephen 🤔? It needs one for real. No clue who the author is but they did a good job writing the fear and emotions, and as usual you did an AWESOME job narrating it. Thanks for keeping me level and sane.
An eye for an eye makes the world go blind. These ape creatures were literally just doing what predators and omnivores do all the time, what we humans do all the time. Maybe its better to just accept that we can also be pray, and work around that instead.
First time I heard from you were the "Maybe the national parks aren't..." stories. You've been my favorite narrator ever since! Thanks for the amazing work, can't wait for this one!
@@LighthouseHorror your Natl’ Park stories were great!! The ending ate me alive! I wanted to know if that was (SPOILER 🚨 ALERT) really the MC’s father on the other side of that door! PLEASE make more wendigo stories as well! The 2hr “I never thought I’d fight a wendigo (I think that was it?) was brilliant! I love your longer stories they’re great! Same with the “Cable man” story! Thankyou LH this story was excellent as well !
@@maureenjossick429 I agree I love all of his Wendigo stories, you know He has several right? But the two hour one was the best it was the story that got me into the longer ones before that I was listening to Creepy pastas for 7 years but would never go more then an hour. I would also like him to complete the voodoo shop stories another reader had two more two hour parts so that story but I refuse to listen he isn't on my list of narrators.LH is number one to me TDS is two then I like several others.
"I named them daisy and rose. Fitting, ironic, poetic, call it what you want. this all started with a daisy and rose barking in the night. And it's gonna end that way too." JUST CHILLS MANN
It just blows our minds (my twin & I) how much & how fast your narrative skills have & just keep improving! U sir r definitely our Light during these dark times!🌟
@@benisaten * WöW LH H, 2 of Your Family, Fans, Listener's, From the Same Area of Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 1st in All the Yrs I Have Been Listening to LH H..!! .. Cööl 😎..
Oh wow, this one was GOOD. Tense as hell, fully immerses you in the events, and delves deep into the survivor's guilt after. Such a bittersweet ending - the protagonist survived, but couldn't move on, has become obsessed with retaliation/redemption, and will almost certainly die trying to achieve it.
His survival isn’t as important as how many of those things he takes with him. They sound like an apex predator, which means lower numbers. With that much muscle they’d have to eat a ton calorie-wise, so the environment could only support so many. I do hope he’s bringing something bigger than pistols though, large-caliber shotguns, high-powered rifles, possibly even automatic rifles if they can get them.
@@jackd8345 how would he even had the chance to go for it. now that i watched it all he was stuck in place for 80% of the time the creature was there and if he made a noise he would have died or his family would have. they were in the kids room while being attacked so no guns there ide assume.
Wow, this one was extremely well written and narrated. Congratulations to the writer and to you, LH. Great work! I would LOVE to hear a sequel to that story.
I was in that room with you. When you were talking about the mother and daughter in the next room. I literally felt scared for them . And hung on every word. Amazing 👏 ✌🍄👍
It sounds like a good one! Thank you, Stephen! I’m listening as I post this! Seriously, thank you & i love seeing those #’s keep rising! Lighthouse Horror rising! 🦇 💡🏡🧟♂️🧟 Your banner on your channel looks cool with the new look! 🔥👊😎💯
Stephen is my number 1 narrator. Everything he does brings an amazing touch to the story, in fact I’m convinced that his narrational skills makes the stories better ☺️
The story of the boy surviving the horrific beast attack was ama zinging and chillingly told. But you can bet that whatever family group or tribe of bigfoot (or whatever) will dearly regret attacking the humans. When compared to other mammals, man seems feeble. But man's intelligence is supreme. When our bodies are not enough, we create weapons. When our weapons are not enough, we make better weapons. And we have something else that the other creatures of nature do not: we know how to hate. We hold a grudge. And we actively seek revenge. All animals fight: but humans make war. the bigfoot killed humans that night, but their entire species will not survive the repercussions. This story was so well written, evocatively narrated. it makes you wonder----if in a much younger era, mankind warred with creatures like bigfoot and destroyed them. Maybe that is why real animals like the dire wolf, cave bear and saber tooth tiger died out-----they made the mistake of preying on humans, and earned humans' hatred. And our ancestors made war on them.
The first one of your stories I ever listened to was "I Rented a Cabin In the Woods; I Didn't Expect to Fight a Wendigo". Back then it was known as something different along the lines of "We Got Trapped in an Avalanche; a Wendigo Picked Us Off One-By-One". It is still my favorite of your stories by far but I don't think there's a single bad narration in your catalog. The way you bring the characters in each story to life and not just read them all like a book set you so far apart from every other horror narrator I've listened to. You externalize the emotions every character is going through in your tone and voice quite effectively and it makes every story feel more visceral and engaging. I'll put your stories on in long car rides, when I'm winding down for bed, or even as background noise when doing work and you never dissapoint. I'm glad you're getting more attention from people discovering you much like how I did and I know I'll be around to listen to more of these in the future!
I've listened to every one of your uploads since I found your channel a few months ago and they keep me entertained while I work my overnight shifts. Hope you know that all your work is appreciated and I'm forever waiting for your next video to keep me company on my many quiet nights!
That was one of The Best I've listened to, there has to have a update to it, the beast killed most of his family and their dogs, THEY GOT TO GO!! Eye for an eye..
oh my god this was the best story that should be made into a movie. You did this . story justice Lighthouse my hats off to you and your awesome ability of story telling. GREAT JOB
If there's a sequel made to this, they need to elaborate on the mc's Grandpa being hinted at having more knowledge on the creatures that killed their loved ones. I think the creatures have to be at least inspired by Gugs. They're from Lovecraft's Dreamlands. Large, bipedal creatures covered in fur, which have no jaw but a vertical split down their head to torso area. The arms of the creatures weren't described in full, but Gugs have 4 forearms. 2 biceps that each branch into two forearms.
Great story and storytelling. When the monster is only vaguely seen or described, the imagination fills in the rest -which is a brilliant trick, because it makes it more realistic by our own individual measure of whatever realistic means.
@@williamking256 I imagined a big werewolf-like creature, with an ape's limbs, their fur is covered in green moss, similar to a sloth, with impossible proportions that shouldn't exist in nature.
Again, you get me through these long days in the hospital. They just make my day and just keep my attention the whole way, hate having to pause whenever my nurse comes in xD it’s always right at the most suspenseful moment. Just absolutely amazing. Will never leave this channel.
Wow. Incredibly well-written story and matched with an incredible narrator. I listen to a lot of narrations and this one stands out for it’s relatability, especially if you live in a rural area and know anything about double-wides or trailers, dogs, family, guns, and fear. Thank you for this story. Rick
I’m honestly baffled that I’ve yet to comment, because this is by-far one of my favorite stories in the horror department that I’ve genuinely heard. I have personal favorites, and there’s no topping the big dogs like Borrasca or Penpals, but this is truly something special. Magnificently written, engaging to the end, and something that truly invokes terror. This is a story that deserves a sequel, hell, if any lone-story I’ve heard deserves a sequel than this is it. I hope to hear the author traverse the doorsteps to continue the tale, it’d be one worth the wait.
I don't understand how you manage to find and invigorate the stories that you narrate. The writers are truly gifted and your skill makes the reading phenomenal. This was the hot diggety bomb of monster stories...all up close and personal....chills😨🙂
The ending was bit sad but understandable. This one of the best Bigfoot vibe first hand account stories I ever heard. Edit: Btw u r one of the best narrator voices I've ever heard! You Sir, have a future!
I love ww stories and this one did not disappoint! Not to mention, it made me a bit teary eyed in the end when he mentioned the body count. Not only are you an excelent narrator, LH, you really know how to pick them! I still havent heard one of your stories I didn't like. But please, PLEASE tell me the author for this one is working on part 2?!?!?!?!? PLEASE?! 🥺🥺🥺🥺
That was a fantastic and chilling story! I feel bad that the kid feels guilt! He probably saved his mom and sister, and certainly warned the others. Great story!
So what Kind of cryptid do yall think this was? I was thinking it was another dogman story but conical head and low hanging jaw as descriptors ruled that out. A predator bigfoot variant?
I just love dogs!! Especially mine!! But you have to try & pay attention to them always. Don’t we all fear monsters deep in our hearts? Great story Stephen & fabbo production! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🐕♥️🐕♥️😎🇦🇺✌️
What a great little story and I would love to hear about their hunting Trip as we know what their hunting and I loved what he called his two pistols...
Dude, Lighthouse, you and NaturesTemper have to be the best narrators that do different voices, as well as a couple of the best overall. Y'all really bring the stories to life.
That was amazing! Having aphantasia means I can't visualize nor picture anything in my head, but somehow, this story, with its amazing narration, gave me a glimpse of what it might feel, to be able to see yourself in their shoes, to feel your heart drilling into your ribs, to feel your feet heavy as stones, and to feel, the nasally breathing on the back of your neck. Bravo!
I have a nostalgic love for nature and all its mysteries. I was raised by a grandmother that used to work as a national trucker and every summer was filled with nothing but adventures involving oceans, forests, and so on. That being said, you will *never* catch me living deep within any kind of biome by myself if I can be help it, I've experienced waayyy too many suspicious happenings to ever consider it. This story is a great reminder of that lol
Survivors guilt is a real thing, and it lives in this young man. I hate that Rose and Daisy died, love that those handguns are named Rose and Daisy. And retired Sheriff Grandad is just what we all needed and wanted to see. Sequel, Sequel! Thank you, this story was vivid and with the last barked shriek I wanted revenge, only the blood of the beast will suffice. You are a remarkably talented storyteller, love your style!
I’ve listen to this one multiple times it’s fantastic. It’s visceral and enveloping, I felt myself on the other side of the door with the writer, stifling my breathing to avoid being found as well. Really really good and the narration is of course perfect as always.
Damn good, always kept me in suspense tried to guess how it was going to go never got it right. Original as could be. The whole feel what's going on through the floor and walls was unique and rings true. Awesome closing line
I can't think of a single narration you've put out that I didn't enjoy. Your voice action , emotion and inflections make almost more than a story. Thanks so much
I like to imagine the other two monsters arguing like dammit I told you to keep an eye on him now look at him dead and a whole mess on our hands!" as they drag the dead monster away
This story was fascinating. This guy wrote excellently I hope he writes more!!! Good point made, if your dogs are barking like that at night, realize there is danger COMEING to you!! Also I would hunt those creatures down that killed my family!!!!
I live in the middle of a forest and my dog was just barking at something outside at 11pm and when I looked out of my 2nd floor window she (the only dog outside) was laying on rocks in the drive way, but her barks where deep in the woods coming closer. To say I won’t be going on walks in the woods, is an understatement
