Well that was absolutely grim. Wonderful job capturing the bleakness and torture of this poor soul MrCreepyPasta...amazing performance as always. I'm filled with all kinds of emotions after this one.
This is genuinely one of the most unnerving stories you've done yet. No monster, no supernatural stuff, none of that. Just the chilling tale of someone descending into madness and depression at the bottom of the ocean, completely alone, with no feasible way of escaping. You instinctively root for the guy to get out, or at the very least expect something outlandish to happen so you can further shelter yourself in the fact that it's just a fake story. But you don't get that. There's nothing otherworldly about this story. It's simple and mundane, but that's what makes it so effective. Stuff like this happens in real life. People become stranded at the bottom of the ocean for days or even weeks, and many never get rescued, and they go through the same process as this guy, desperately hoping for an escape from their situation, growing increasingly bitter and restless, dealing with the slow but sure loss of resources, the suffocating inactivity and loneliness, being trapped in a cramped area and slowly being made to accept their own mortality. There's no resolution. No silver lining. No fantastical elements so you can take solace in the fact that this is a fictional tale. Just a slow burn descent into hopelessness, depression, and a lonely, pointless death full of regret and unresolved problems over the course of weeks in complete isolation at the bottom of the ocean. Bravo, MrCreepyPasta. Bra-fucking-vo.
Thank you for reading this story that was actually creepy. Too many stories anymore just aren't scary at all. This story also supports the idea that the shorter the title, the better the story. The ones with like a whole sentence or two just don't cut it
I didn’t write this, I only beta’d for the author - so take this with a grain of salt because I can’t speak for him, but I think you did a great job capturing the genuine fear and anger and decent into madness. Thanks for doing it justice
You’re genuinely the most amazing storyteller of all time. Every time I see you’ve made a video, my face lights up. Thank you so, so much for everything you do!
Of ALL time? Better than Homer, Shakespeare, Cervantes, Twain, Orwell, etc? I get being a fanboy but that is a tad ridiculous. He’s a great narrator but these aren’t his stories. He isn’t a storyteller, he is an orator, a narrator. If you truly think he’s the GOAT of storytellers, you need to read more books, friend.
I really wish the author would have finished this story with “how” this sailor and his written diary was found AND maybe how long he truly lived, ie: a few days or six months. Also, where the ship was found and how deep the ocean floor was where the ship landed… I’m a sucker for knowing HOW a story truly ends! 😁
@@Gagirl-82, straight from the wiki this is Thalassophobia is the persistent and intense fear of deep bodies of water such as the sea, oceans, pools, or lakes. Though very closely related, thalassophobia should not be mistaken with aquaphobia which is classified as the fear of water itself. Thalassophobia can include fear of being in deep bodies of water, fear of the vast emptiness of the sea, of sea waves, aquatic creatures, and fear of distance from land. The causes of thalassophobia are not clear and are a subject of research by medical professionals as they can vary greatly between individuals. Researchers have proposed that the fear of large bodies of water is partly a human evolutionary response, and may also be related to popular culture influences which induce fright and distress. It is also theorized that the underlying psychology of the phobia stems from the symbolic nature of water. Specifically, the vastness of the sea is often connected to one's deep unconscious.
Natural disaster horrors are just a different type of breed. the fact that this can actually happen is just cringing. You made it as unsettling as it sounded. BRAVO 👏🏾 MR CP 😄
First off: this image is actually Riven of a Thousand Voices from Destiny 2. Fun Fact. Second off: This really does play into the solitude at the bottom of the ocean. The horror of survival when in a claustrophobic space and nothing but constant reminders of doom. After having lived on a boat for a year of my life, the idea of being trapped in a sunken vessel still induces the "what if" fear I had once.
OMG this to me is scarier than any monster or Cryptid who has ever lived in imagination or real. I could not even fathom waiting to die underwater. I have always had the fear of drowning even tho I can swim and even had swimming lessons as a child but I can only swim in a pool only because I can see the bottom. I went on a 7 day cruise and literally stayed in my cabin the whole time unless the ship was docked for an Excursion. The only reason I went was because my now Ex husband booked the cruise which the money was nonrefundable he claimed he forgot I was afraid of the ocean lol. Great story & as always super great narration.
It's like the story from MrBallen about the new Russian submarine that sinked during a drill. The navy guy wrote about their last few hours. It was tragic but this one is scary for making me imagine how someone loses their sanity.
There was a guy that actually survived one of these. I think his name was Okene. He said he heard the sharks eating his comrades. I think it’s on mrballen’s channel
There is a nice relief knowing that if the metal gives out then he would just instantly become soup and not be fully conscious drowning with sea monsters around him just ready to eat him
Amazing narration as always, I much prefer these kind of pastas, though I was kind of hoping for a stinger where they found his dead body and he'd been trapped for around a week and it was his own paranoia and fear that made him believe it was longer, but still a really good story
Hi MCP, IT HAS BEEN A LONG WHILE SINCE I’VE A CREEPY PASTAS WITHOUT ANY PARANORMAL HINTS TO IT. You have definitely done a masterful narration of this story. Yes I was waiting for some kinda salvation but that does not happen in real life. So once again thank you for this superb creation of a death at sea.
To be honest I’m more into sea monster stories and creatures in general. But this story is good, I love it. I love the existential dread and the fear of the unknown it’s beautiful.
I'm only a few minutes in, but I am already terrified. The most disturbing part of this story, where a seaman is trapped within a compartment of a sinking vessel, is likely based on a real story. The USS West Virginia partially sunk when it was bombed in 1941, trapping three sailors inside. Due to the position they were in, they couldn't be rescued; there was nothing the military could do. The men survived for 16 days, trapped, desperately awaiting rescue. I learned this in a SolarSands video, also titled "Thalassophobia" By the time I finished writing this (and double checking it was the USS West Virginia), I had gotten eight minutes in, when the writer says they estimate they'd been down there for two and a half weeks. About 16 days. Being right is... chilling.
@@IAmDeadApple1234 I’m glad I noticed! Those sorts of stories always creep me the hell out, and you did an excellent job! Skipping some entries really added to the creep factor. We only got a slice of this guy’s pain.
Great story 👍👍 But a couple stings noted it sounds like the compartment has a port hole, and the room would not have been very large, plus a fire so the air would be exhausted in about a week granted in those conditions a day can feel like a month
A video game shark gave me this phobia like 25 years ago. Getting stung by a jellyfish 15 years ago kept it going. Doc said I need to get over it, but I can tell he gets just as scared as I do when the water flows in from the other side of those teeth.
Honestly, this situation is one of my top scariest ways to die. I am not a fan of the ocean in any way. I’ve had many chances to go on a cruise but I have never wanted to be in the middle of the ocean, for ANY REASON! I’d rather fly to a beach destination rather than take a cruise ship to go there! I have even driven over a hundred miles south of the Arizona/Mexico border, down into Mexico to vacation on the Sea of Cortez at Rocky Point, Mexico a few times. I’ve also driven to South Padre Island south of the Mexico border MANY times. This story literally describes one of my scariest ways to die! 😟 I’d much rather die on dry land, thank you very much! Love from Texas ♥️🤠🌴
Hey, I'm the author and I'd just like to say that it isn't about a submarine but a regular ship. I don't know if you managed to listen to the later parts but it's more clarified there.
the ocean is utterly much more terrifying than any other things in the world, and also it makes me anxious knowing that 70% of earth are bodies of water
There was a guy who was trapped underwater in a boat when it sank.He found a air pocket in the boat and it was pitch dark and he was listening to all his friends who were already dead getting ripped apart by sharks. He was just sitting there waiting for a shark to come in and get him but seven days later eventually a light showed up and it was scuba divers searching the wreck. A hand came out and pulled one of the divers in. Look it up on RU-vid it’s freaking crazy.
A truly nerve racking story excellently narrated. My only gripe is we never find out what caused the ship to sink and if the notes he wrote were ever eventually found, or why he was never rescued. Was he really down there for weeks or just days? Not knowing these simple things makes the story feel a bit hollow and pointless. If there is no reasoning behind the story, then whats the reason to tell it to begin with? Just my opinion, of course.
Wow I have a fear of the Ocean but I never knew this was the name of it I called it JawsAphobia because every time I'm new the ocean or even a lake I hear that damn theme song, and I live in Queens NYC we are sorounded by water!
@MrCreepyPasta you should leave a longer pause, like a half minute long one after stories like that, leaving audience to their own thoughts after something like this would elevate this work further.
How did he survive so long? Are there air vents in the closet, connected to all the rooms that also locked up tight? Over a month before the air started getting thin? Does he breath REAAAALLLY slow? But yes. Yes, he is absolutely right. We were never meant to traverse the ocean, let alone travel beneath it. If the Earth is alive, then the ocean is its mouth. It works like a pitcher plant or venus fly trap, open and waiting. Anything that doesn't belong in there is consumed by it. The freezing cold water saps the strength away until all they can do is sink. What the fish don't eat, the salt water will wear away at until there's nothing but bone. And people want to go for a refreshing dip in it.
It's a terrifying scenario to imagine, but the author of the story really reached past the bounds of realism when creating it. 2,000 feet? Guy wouldn't even have made it alive to the bottom. Being in an air pocket would not have protected him from compression. The air pocket wouldn't even exist anymore past a certain depth. He'd have, idk, maybe a few minutes to panic before he imploded. To be fair, people have been trapped in wrecks before, but at much shallower depths. A couple hundred feet of water between you and the surface is plenty terrifying.
Grate video, Mr Creepy Pasta. I have been binge watching your shows. . You have a lot of them! I have not done seen all of them! I used to just listen to Creepy Pasta Jr. a friend of yours. I like the shows you and him share.videos. Such as the cassette player with tapes. You listen to the tapes and it’s a kid talking about killing people that hurt him. In high school. He talks about a kid who punched him in school. Then he goes postal. And he has his people tied up.. and you can hear the victims and you are his last because you hit him in high school. I met one friend who was never a real friend. He would tease me and do wired things. I met him three years and he hadn’t changed . Most people grow up and get nicer as they get nicer as time . This idiot and some other people don’t grow up. They stay the same . If they a Dick in high school and they stay the dick .
