it may be a fake story, but sometimes its fun to suspend your disbelief and think for a sec that maybe this guy really did see monsters as a kid

I love how the whole time he was saying green eyes and dark,possibly dark gray, skin and yet they made a monster with black eyes and green skin.

Removing the monsters aspect, this story is still pretty creepy. Just imagine it: You're traumatized by something that was so bad that it affects not only your life to the point of depression, but that your _family is willing to put up a façade so you don't remember it._ That's truly horrifying.

I went through some truly horrific shit as a child. Up until I was 19 I had a recurring nightmare of being chased through a completely dark neighborhood. Something was chasing me. I never knew what. I'd run to the house at the end of the street and run inside. The door would close. Suddenly glowing eyes would open behind me. I'd wake up terrified. Eventually over the years I'd recognize the dream and wake up before I got to the house. Eventually I fully gained lucid dreaming. The last time I ever had the nightmare, everything happened as normal. However, right as the eyes appeared I killed it. I don't quite remember how I killed it but I never had the nightmare again.

Remember guys with real repressed memories they tend to be stuck and then come through all at once in a cascade. If you slowly remember bits and pieces over the course of a long time it's highly likely that you've made an at least partially false memory

I listened to this alone at my arctic cabin, remote and isolated. This was BEYOND creepy to me and i ended up moving several weapons close to me.

Homestly, this story was really captivating for the first part, until I found out it was just a monster. It went from a genuinely interesting mystery to an average cabin in the woods creepypasta.

Whether true or not, that was definitely entertaining!

Good story. Believable up to the part where he asked his therapist if he could post on 4chan. Goddam summer figs

Normally, I usually suspend my skepticism when listening to /x/ stories, and just enjoy the story. I've had my own experiences, so I know how magically strange life can be. Unfortunately, this story has one detail which makes me immediately question it; OP says his family cabin is in a state park... it would be like saying you built your house in a city park.

Kid came across pack of wolves. Knew a guy that had it happen as a kid. Left him traumatized and formed odd recollections about it. Edit: yeah. Try looking into the eyes of a starving wolf pack and not freeze with terror. The very idea is primal. I'd have repressed nightmares too.

Cabin Memories was always one of my favorite stories on 4chan, your original narration of it was a great listen. I wish there was more stories being written like this!

This is probably my favorite /x story of all time. And read by my favorite narrator no less. Cheers, Maverick.

Damn, haven't been spooked like this in a while. Something I like about these 4chan stories is how they end in a cliff hanger of sorts, leaving room for speculation. It might be fake as hell but still quite cool regardless. Also, I feel like OP seeked help on 4chan cuz where else can he get help?

This one is a certified classic. I also love the casual breaks from tone that he does like at 27:21.

I've got a few of those repressed memories myself, some with terrestrial explanations and others that I can't explain. The two I've got a grip on are memories of abuse, you can fill in the details, when I was six years old. They just decided to bubble up one night out of nowhere. I knew I had a rough childhood but I never even thought about what I remembered happening being part of it. I was 19 when I remembered it. A few months later I awoke in a hospital bed surrounded by family, friends and two girls I was dating at the time, neither of which looked very happy. They said I'd hit a tree going really fast after dropping off one of the two girls the previous night. No seatbelt. No airbag. There was a hole in the windshield made by the right side of my face. Not a single broken bone. No serious cuts, although I did pick glass out of my ear for years after that. Whole car was crushed save for the driver's area. They said a witness told them it looked like I did it on purpose. I thought that was ridiculous. Over a decade later and I'm at the tail end of a 7 year stay in state prison about to be released on parole. Since often there's shit all to do in prison sometimes your mind just wanders, and mine wandered to the night of the car accident. I remember mashing the gas pedal, my music cranked up as far as it would go, shooting around a corner and suddenly yelling at the top of my lungs right before I cranked the steering wheel and pointed the car right at that tree, leaning my body forwards in hopes I'd break my neck or go through the windshield, which oddly enough may be what saved me since I didn't build up much momentum before I hit the windshield. I tried to kill myself. I didn't scratch at my wrists or take a bunch of OTC meds in some plea for help. I didn't write any note. It wasn't even planned. Somewhere in the five minutes between dropping that girl off, Molly, pretty little blonde headed angel, and the tree I decided I didn't want to live. The witness was correct. It also wouldn't be my last honest attempt but I remember those. They didn't work and should have, so after the last one I gave up trying to do it. This place isn't going to allow me to leave until it decides I'm ready. For the otherworldly memories they're much more sporadic. More pictures, feelings and fragments than whole events. The most complete was when I was 5 or 6 and at my grandparent's for the weekend. I awoke at maybe midnight and heard what kinda sounded like a distant train and saw a faint light. There were no train tracks anywhere near that house. The noise got louder and the light got brighter until both were in the room with me. The sound was so loud it scared me. Right before the memory ends I remember thinking "Oh no, it's happening again". I knew that this had happened before, many times, but that's the only incident I truly recall. I also remember around the same time floating above my body which was in my bed and feeling like I was being sucked out the ceiling. I also remember some times where I'd wake up on the floor with an awful feeling as if there were something in my body with me. Like it was in every single cell in my body and it hurt, bad. It's a type of pain that doesn't really have any analog. It sorta felt like I had an immense pressure pushing in and out at the same time everywhere, along with feeling as if I was being stabbed by countless tiny needles. I couldn't move right away either. I've had sleep paralysis as an adult and it's not even close to the same thing. I've been a "lucid dreamer" from age 8 and I remember lots of my dreams, lucid or otherwise. None of it had the quality of a dream. There's a bit more but this comment is long enough as it is. Oh and it sounds like the guy had night terrors when he was a kid. I had those too and for a while I thought maybe some of those odd memories were just night terrors, but again, they don't have the same qualities as night terrors. They're pretty bad all by themselves. Like the guy in the video I'd often wake up screaming as loud as I could. Maybe they're side effects of supernatural events since his didn't start until after his cabin incident.

I always come back to these kinds of sort-of-maybe-fake spooky stories when the weather gets really cold. It's like a campfire story to help keep me warm. Just a bit of spook to ease the chill for a little while.

For me it’s obviously fiction. And until OP actually regain his memory it’s really disturbing, it reminds me of Whitley Strieber’s “Communion” (1987) where much of the story is mostly hinted at. “Nothing is scarier” after all. How old / new is this story? It really had the potential to be the next “Penpal” or “Abandoned by Disney” if OP - or someone took the time to do a rewrite and actually keep of the reveal - but keeping the gaze of despair thing; then it has the potential to be a great story

That dad part and offing yourself hits close to home man. When I was 16ish I was in that mindset. It was the only time I've seen my dad cry when they found out. I'm not saying my dad is a tough manly man, he's more of a hippy than anything but seeing how much even the thought hurt him. Shit hits you harder than a truck in an isekai.

I think OP's monster could be some sort of feral vampire. Hypnosis/trances and turning into fog are something vampires can do in some versions of their lore.

This sounds like a maybe what a true vampire is?? Like a progenitor or something. It's where we get the vampiric humans. This thing sounds like the source for all of that. The teeth, smoke body, and trance all scream vampire to me.

i went through something traumatic as a child and my brain also supressed the memories. it happens more than you'd think and that concept of what my brain can hide from me chills me to the bone, this video was great though.

I don't necessarily believe it's true, but a couple of reasons he'd go to 4chan is that it was possibly relieving to an extent for him to anonymously unload on strangers. Another reason is, judge its users however you may, but they can knuckle down and do a lot of research if motivated enough. Maybe he thought they'd have answers he and his doctor couldn't work out on their own. He might also have been a frequent 4chan user before his first revealing post.

Sometimes it's best to let memories fade for living in ignorance is much better than to see what you have purposely forgotten

What I’m wondering is how that one random person was able to correctly guess what it looked like. Out of all the pictures of monsters, that guy who said “did it look like this” was able to get fairly close prior to getting any details about what it looked like from OP.

This is someone with understanding of how repressed memories work like a deep understanding maybe even experience

Awesome video as always! Loved that Mr. Revenant collaborated with you for parts of the story 😀 👏🏻...well quite a bit of collaborators. Awesome to see all you guys helping each other out!

I read this YEARS ago and could never find it again. I started to think I'd imagined it.

To me, it screams something vampiric. Rows of teeth like a lamprey, the ability to move inhumanly fast and fluid, like smoke, the ability to mentally dominate and entrance their prey...

What's being described sounds honestly a lot like the native description of a Wendigo (the image most people think of when picturing one is made by popular culture) since in various native folklore retelling they're generally described as basically emaciated skeletons with skin pulled tightly over the bones, glowing eyes that are sunk so far back into the skull you can see the hollow eye sockets, if they have lips they are red and bloody looking, and that they smell like decay. Sounds like OP either saw a wendigo or learned of the native description or is native themselves to write a story depending on what you believe

This is one of my favorite stories. Adding Revenant & LetsRead is an awesome touch!

Have been looking for years, thank you for this video!

What a freaking collab 👏. Amazing, all of you!!

Timesix, I love you're style so damn much, your quiet storytelling voice makes these stories feel like somebody telling a campfire story while your quiet cynicism for the stories creator make it seem as if they're real and you cheekily already know it's ending. Keep it up!! ❤❤

“It’s hard to know your family has been conspiring against you” Story of my life. It’s actually gotten to the point when I told my psychologist about how I’ve never really had any secrets and have always had things blamed on me, she got upset by it to the point where if she wasn’t someone who knew about family dynamics and stuff, she probably wouldn’t have believed me. It’s even harder when you’re the problem child with a mental disability that also developed depression and anxiety for having this particular problem for over 20 years, but thankfully I’m making steps towards getting out of that really bad environment. Even if it’s only gotten worse over the years to the point my mother gets mad when I don’t tell her about things I can handle on my own

The audio sounds fantastic man, great mixing.

/x/ can be pretty fun when there are good, suspenseful storytellers like this.

I guess he forgot because the SCP Foundation amnesticized him. Oh man... "Mongolian basket-weaving website" - I haven't heard that one in a while!

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this! Thanks for having me on man!

Great video as always!!

From Malaysia here😁 my friend also told me this story of her childhood. She was from an abusive family . From a very young age my friend (Alice) her mom, and her older sisters would go to work in Cameron Highlands. In a field day and night with only few hours of sleep. Alot of people also work in the fields . Every night, this weird creatures would immerge from the ground looking like bats or dogs dark in figure with red glowing eyes moving more like floating just above the ground. Alice mother would warn them to not look in the eyes or bad things will happen. They all won't look at it. They all stop what they're doing until it disappears from sight. Slight movement or noise , it will stop moving turns its head slowly to look at you. Alice remembers that a young man looked at it in the eyes and was in a trance . He then proceeded to kill himself from drowning but people stopped him and quickly shook him from his trance. The people reported this to the owner of the field and he did some Chinese ceremony to get rid of this entity but unfortunately it never disappeared. It would appear in the night time. This happened when my friend Alice was around 8- 12 years old. She is now 38 years old

thrilling narration, hits the spot everytime. love your work/works, been looking forward to hearing more. Keep doing what you do, dont hold back on the feel.mp4's, great upload!

Love ur content!! No matter what it’s about!! Keep up the gear

awesome video as always

I am truly impressed with the quality you bring to the table and to have collaborated with other great talents as well, it is all just wonderful. Weather true or not, it is possible. The monster being able to put people into trances and the suppression of the memory, may be a function of its gaze. The nature of the visions may trigger the minds protective mechanism to effectively camouflage itself. That being said I really do think that without further evidence most likely it is a great story, well thought out and executed. Although bailing at the climax takes fortitude, leaving the attention behind would be hard.

I've found a lot of help for my PTSD that comes from early childhood abuse (my first memory is abuse and disassociation) with a therapist I feel really comfortable with the first one in a really long time and ketamine therapy focused on repairing all the broken parts of me. I just thought someone might want to hear that.

I was just checking for content, right on time👌

And now for your regularly scheduled Friday entertainment. Supplied by an under appreciated youtuber. (Also I love this story I think you might have narrated it b4 or someone else but it is an absolute banger. Nice to hear it again. Thanks T6)

DUDE COLLABING WITH LETS READ IS A HUGE W

Love when some of my faves collab! Good to hear Let's Read's voice on this video!

Awesome video. I love this channel so much

I haven't even started the story yet but god the production quality on all of your videos is so good. I'm actually jittering with excitement to dig my teeth into this video

Watching maverick files eating Culver's. Living the life 💯

Feels like an amateur horror writer working with a real world prompt... I'm highly skeptical, but I want to believe so bad, it's very intriguing

I love this channel! Great stories!

Yooooo this channel is seriously underrated. The narrator is top notch.

He's describing two seperate ogroids from The Witcher franchise. A foglet powerwise and a nekker in appearance (though the former looks and behaves similar).

"But what the fuck are we looking at?" Those off-beat moments are what make me a fan.

I’m so glad I found this channel

I love your intro song. Even if I didn't think the content you create great that alone would have earned my sub.

Hey bro just wanted to let you know that the amount of effort into making this video is astonishing bro, hope you get the recognition you deserve brother ❤️😊✌️

A gap in his memory for 12 hours when he was 8? I couldn't tell you one single event that happened my entire 8th year without looking at photos and school reports... Actually, I'm hazy about last Monday. No idea what I had for dinner. Is his mind like a VCR or something?

totally unrelated to video but, I can get very severe panic attacks, and your voice really helps calm me down. I love your videos man keep doing what you do :D so happy I found your channel

your voice is really soothing tbh

As someone with repressed memories, I know how to get them back. I just don't know that I know how to get them back, or that they exist most of the time. They're behind a wall. Someone has to point my attention to the wall and tell me memories are behind it. And even then, I know the wall is there in that moment and that yes, of course there are blocked memories behind it. But I do not know what is behind it. It takes effort to tear the wall down. But as my therapist says, you don't want to do that. The wall is there to protect you. Tearing it open is the worst thing you can do. Like ripping open a long healed wound.

I was really invested until the halfway mark when I realised it's basically fiction (I didn't know what /x/ was) Really loved your narration 👍

these stories are so good i emjoyed this one a lot!

Wow, this I really like the concept of this story. This one really scared me when I was listening to it! lol

It sounds like a wendigo/whetigo to me. I'm in Canada, and among many First Nations in the prairies, there's legends about horrible monsters that were once humans, ones who got the taste for human blood. They're said to smell of rotting meat and have gaping stares that must be avoided at all times.

The description of the creature makes me think of the Cyrax, a goblin that has been spotted in Ohio.

Thanks so much.

Your narration is great. Just subscribed

Always makes my day better when you upload

Love cabin memories! Good job on getting Let's Read on this one!👏👏Fanfuckintastic!🤩

Man what a spooky story! Thanks for posting it. I have always had nightmares, ever since I was a kid, of being chased by something or someone malevolent, so this really struck a chord with me.

Oooooo very nice timing!

This theme music is fkin music to my ears

I remember when PunishedCreepswork did a reading of this. One of my favorite horror stories from the internet

I can only imagine how awesome an entire album of music like the intro would be. I’m salivating thinking about it.

So these stories with the sound of timesix voice is highly addictive 😁

Well, that was a very gripping and scary story that guy told, regardless of how much of it was real or not.

Thank you for the entertainment, OP!

I'm digging this crossover

Best part of fiction . Simple. Keep contradiction to a minimum. But just on the edge of realism

Finishing my thought.....just listening to the dream sequence gave me anxiety.

the plink sound when you said "cabin memories" his me hard in the nostalgia for some reason.

Great story, I especially like the detail where he's grown up and told by the hypnotist he's not susceptible to hypnotism, something that probably changed after initially breaking out of the trance by the creatures.

I think this is meant to be some sort of eldritch being, seeing that looking into its eyes will make you go into a trance and show you horrific things, similar to how if you look at something like Cthulhu you go mad

Holy cramoly, that was wild and terrifying

This was an incredible video dude, great Fuckin job!

No matter how many times I hear the opening song, it's still fire.

It's nothing more than a moderately well constructed larp.

You deserve more attention.

You go hawd I really like ur videos epic n chill at the same time

Another week, another day of me going back to that Chipmunks on 16 Speed song after the video because it's stuck in my head

he went to deep into his fake story, he shouldve made another greentext that ends in a funny meme, lmao

BABE WAKE UP NEW MAVERICK FILES!!!

I recognized the "voice portraying the dad" as the the story teller of Azalea's Cook House and others and then Let's Read (joel)! Well done Maverick Files! Bravo.

Retrieving old memories from the depths of traumatic repression is difficult and painful. I know, because when I talk about my past with my family it becomes painful to recall details. The description OP gave of his choppy and hazy memories is eerily close to what I felt in my flashbacks.

where did you find the piano at 4:40 ish? i released a song with those exact notes, same tempo and everything a few years ago. not asking for credit or anything but my wife and i both looked at each other surprised when we heard it lol
