I tried listening to the Calm app with soothing sounds and bedtime stories and just couldn't do it. Falling asleep to horror stories and true crime it is! 😄

Actually, pennies in 1943 were made out of steel as copper was needed for the war effort. I used to have a full set of those shiny steel cents as well.

I GREW UP IN SPARTA NC, BESIDE BOONE NC AND ABOVE WILKES AND SURRY CO. ( A witness in the woods) great story Darkness

[ScullyPop]

I think I heard about this story somewhere. Awesome job!

[jimidennis]

Was the first guy hiking in the upside down?

[dopeshow]

I love listening to u tell stories. I listen to them every day. I even enjoy falling asleep listening. Although I dont believe a word of majority of any of them. To me the only Monsters in this world r other people. Thank you for all.

I love the creature in the story at 53:53 he just wants to play red light green light like I did in grade school lol cute 🥰

Time stamp 45- if that “thing” appeared every night and is starting to revisit him again then why not take a picture or video with your phone being that it’s visit are starting up again. Right I’m sure everyone would love to see it

Hello Darkness my old friend, I've heard this joke time and time again

[lilysmith]

Oh my gosh! I am listening to this with one headphone so I can still hear my kids and my son randomly growled really deep ( I didn't realize he had walked back into the living room) and I almost peed on myself! He scared me so bad!

I can’t remember the name of one of my favorites, but it was one you read 2+(?) years ago. It was a forest ranger story about them attempting to rescue a young dog from these weird cultish children

[AlexPerez-yvde]

Hey darkness, I just wanna say thank you I started listening to your narrations a long time ago at the begging of my freshman year so your first year on youtube, I'm now a senior in high school with a few months away from graduation and i can genuinely say thank you for making my childhood awesome with the stories and everything. your videos have helped me soo much since the beginning and they often played at 3 am whiling rushing to do assignments late at night, or isf i was down they would cheer me up. thank you darkness

[wonderfulsoundstohear]

3 hours of no adds and great stories, my day just got a lot better thank you sir for the breath of fresh air with these great narratives.

hill 29 is hands down my favorite scary story. i remember when i first listened to it, it was a cold night and i couldn't fall asleep so i just lie still for the whole video. i was totally immersed in the story and for some reason it just stood out to me. im glad that you also thought it was a notable story. also, love from canada!

[wplains]

Ok so Hill 29 is a really well written story. There’s no way that wasn’t written by either an exceptional writer or a professional one. He describes his surroundings far too well for it not to have been written for entertainment.I would have liked to know if they found their friends and what they saw.

[MiiDusa]

I am born and raised in Louisiana and can tell y’all some crazy insane stories from Katrina and being in the Ruston woods!!!!

[ArtsyIslandGirlJamaicanVlogs]

I'm sorry couldn't they have been hunters carrying a freshly killed deer or something?

[Expunge]

Out of all the scary storytellers in YouTube, you have got to be my favorite. You're the only one who doesn't break sentences up into 3 words at a time, emphasize the wrong parts of sentences or otherwise read at a seventh-grade level. No offense to the other channels, but I would subscribe to them as well if I could get through a story without being enraged by poor reading skills ..

[j.makison]

Man…whether the Hill 29 story is true or not, that’s one hell of a story.

[kimmensah]

So the moral of all these stories stay out of the woods!!
