In regards to story #1, I grew up along Lake Gogebic in Michigan. I have spent years along that shore line, fishing, kayaking, boating, swimming, etc. I was there in the timeline mentioned in the story. Never once did I ever feel unsafe near the water during any activity, nor have I ever seen anything odd, strange or out of the ordinary on the water. Now the woods, that's a different story for another time. lol

darkness prevails, love your stories!! thank you for helping me fall asleep or creeping me out haha :) i enjoy watching from oldest to newest although at times i'll watch your new ones first.

Imagine how confused that critter was when it got grabbed by him, instead of running away he grabbed it. Must have been quite peculiar to the monster.

Thanks Darkness ❤️ awesome video great stories. Thank you for all who sent in these stories.

I know this video is literally 6 years old, but just wanted to say I really loved listening! And my biggest fear is most definitely bedbugs

These stories are great 😊🙂🙂

#1 seemed like a sad and lonely monster! It could have hurt him if it wanted to, I think it was trying to establish contact with him.

I actually have a Phobia of water... I don't get in water that I can't see ALL THE WAY to the bottom of... I also don't get in if their is vegetation on top or on the bottom of it... I don't do water... Water=bad idea.

We need a "part-2" of this lake monster series.

I fear Having the runs in a public bathroom then realizing there is no toilet paper and nobody's next to you to bum a square from

"Beware the water..." Oh trust me. I stay inside, away from the water.

The thought of getting a paper cut somewhere vulnerable like my neck or eyes terrifies me

my greatest fear is when im swimming by my self and then i get the feeling that something massive is looming below me and i cant see it at all and at eny moment I'm getting grabbed by something that i cant see or hear

Its actually an OCD thing for me, even at a friends house, if I see a cracked closet door, I always shut it...weird.

I'm pretty freaked out by water monsters (of any kind) and since I was a little kid I've been terrified of werewolves, or dogmen, whatever you wanna call them. They make my blood run cold.

You're really good at this, I'm surprised you only have 50k subs.

These stories are really well, I even imagined every single story when hearing it, those people who sent those stories, must have always remember that moment, that would happen to me if I experienced something like that..

My biggest fear is loosing another baby. I got pregnant at age 20. I also caught an STD from the father. Because of that and all the stress I was under and getting sick, I lost my baby. That was 10 years ago and it took me years to come out of this really dark place, because I blamed myself, even though there was nothing I could of done. It wasn't a day I didn't cry over my child. There were times I just wanted to die so I could be with my child. So I thought about suicide a lot. The pain never goes away, you just learn to live with it. But my new male partner and I are going to try and have a baby of our own, god will. So, wish me luck. :D

This is why you don't flush your fish🐟 down the toilet .🚽

will you please make more videos about skinwalkers?

I love these videos. I've spent days binge watching all of your videos and have just zoned out listening to your videos so many times. Keep up the good work, you're the best.

You know how your cat does the stare like just hanging out on your lap and then just STARE at absolutely nothing

I don't understand why you don't have a lot of subscribers and views, you're content is amazing and deserves more recognition. If I met you in real life I would cry because I'm a huge fan of yours and you're my favorite KZfaqr

you should do one where the victim actually has self defense and uses it and knows what it looks like also scariest home alone monsters in the closet

uh the show river monsters has showed me that staying on land can be a good idea and stories as well esp hearing stories about smith lake esp near the dam there, while growing up in alabama

Great video, this is the first I've seen on lake cryptids/monsters. Thanks and keep it up!!

Great to see something new here on this channel. Hope to see you doing a mix of all these kinds of stories. Love the content, really gets me thinking of what could be out there. Keep it up and thanks.

My fear is probably more specific to me than most fears people would think of. It is rooted in my own past experience, though I'm guessing I'm far from alone in this fear. My greatest fear is needlessly dying due to the callous assumptions of ER doctors and other medical professionals. I seem to have found more medical incompetence in my life than I could have ever imagined possible before. The main reason for this fear is the year and a half I was allowed to suffer in every increasing occurrence and severity. I'd been approved for SSI but had spent an entire year trying to find a doctor who was willing to accept a new Medicaid patient. During this time, I'd begun to experience severe pain in my stomach and couldn't hold down ANYTHING whether it was food or drink. After a few days of laying in the fetal position in my bed, my mom would drag me to the closest ER. (My record time spent in the waiting room was about eleven hours.) They would start an IV since I was dehydrated then immediately inject Demerol and Phenergan into said IV. Only after these two steps would they send me for X-Rays. (For those of you who are familiar, you probably already know why this was incredibly against protocol at any other ER. For those who don't, both those drugs cause everything in the body to relax. You just DON'T treat a patient without first doing X-Rays since the drugs can cause the problem not to show up.) Sure enough, they'd come into my exam room and insist nothing looked abnormal in the tests. They'd usually send me home. After the first two or so visits, the judgement began. Both I and my mom were told by MANY staff members (from doctors to nurses to aides) that "There's nothing wrong with you/her. You/She are/is just a junkie looking for a fix." I was livid! On the odd occasion, I would be admitted for "further tests", yet it was always the same thing. Since I didn't have a doctor still, my care would be handled by, as I called them, the little gaggle of LSU interns. They'd keep me as long as a few days and would often order a CAT scan. Still, they said they saw nothing, all the while shooting me up with those same VERY strong drugs. When forced to go to ER, I would beg them not to give me drugs until AFTER the X-Rays. They always ignored this. By the end, I was back on a weekly basis. Once again, I was admitted. I had come to feel that this would be the rest of my life - hell on earth, short periods of relief due to the drugs, a couple days of normal life then the hell would return. This time, something happened. As usual, the little gaggle were clustered between my bed and the outer door. As usual, the head doctor explained they saw nothing on the CAT scan results before the disapproving tone insisting there was nothing wrong with me. "Just a junkie looking for a fix." was uttered. By now both my mom and I were exhausted and annoyed and more than a little afraid. Yet we could tell something was different. One of the "gaggle" looked upset at his words and tone. She didn't say anything, but you could just tell she wasn't fawning over him the way the others were, acting like anything he said MUST be right. It wasn't until later that we found out what happened next. She confronted him in the hallway out of range of my door. She insisted that she may be new to looking at results and images, she was sure that something had looked wrong on my CAT scan. When she wasn't satisfied, she took it upon herself to contact my surgeon to ask for a consult. She explained that she knew he didn't accept Medicaid, but she really hoped he'd be willing to at least look at the film. He'd been unaware of his staff ignoring my pleas for his help since I was no longer on my mom's insurance. He came right away. After all, he'd literally had his hands inside my gut multiple times, so if something was amiss, he might be able to pick up on it. He agreed that something just didn't look right, though he couldn't put his finger on it either. He wanted to do exploratory surgery, but there was a problem. I'd been allowed to get in such bad shape, he feared I wouldn't survive being cut open. They would have to give me a transfusion of two units of blood and basically make me strong enough to handle the rigors of surgery. I remember only two fleeting images from that day. I'd never needed a transfusion before, so I suppose that's why I was so transfixed when watching the nurse set it up. I have a very clear image of the blood filled pouch of blood hanging from the top of the IV pole. The second memory is of my childhood friends, Chris and Chad, standing at the foot of my hospital bed. They looked as if they were seeing a ghost. I'd been in and out of hospital for YEARS, so they'd long since stopped coming to see me. This made their appearance stand out so vividly, I guess. (Again, later, I learned why they were there. I had called their grandmother to tell her goodbye because, "I don't think I'm going to make it this time." Even though it's been nearly 20 years, I'm fighting back tears at the recollection.) Before they could get me on the table in OR, my small intestines exploded. Not ruptured. Not tore. EXPLODED! My surgeon, a very experienced and admired doctor, said he'd never seen anything so bad in his entire career. He went on to say that it looked as if I'd swallowed a grenade. My previous surgeries, fully disclosed time and time again to the ER staff, had caused scar tissue to build up until it completely blocked off a small area of my intestines. I'd been showing all the classic signs and symptoms that entire time, but because of certain assumptions by the jaded ER staff, these signs were completely ignored. I was just a lower income white chick from a questionable neighborhood, so I MUST be a junkie. Forget the fact that it was THEM who automatically doped me up or that I NEVER asked for these drugs. Because of their incompetence, there are virtually no pain medications that help with my pain. My tolerance is over the moon! I live in pain daily, spending days at a time unable to even stand long enough to prepare food. The final insult? That surgeon wanted to testify on my behalf in a malpractice case, yet I couldn't get a SINGLE attorney to take my case. Now days, you see attorneys jumping to take on even the slightest hint of malpractice, but back then, no one wanted to go near those cases. I hate those doctors and nurses with every fiber of my being. I can only pray that Karma caught up with them.

Absolutely LOVE your work! please keep up the amazing work you do. I could listen to you for hours, and i do! :D

I love these types of videos

These kinds of stories are my favorite. Every night now for a months I listen to skinwalker, windago, unknown creature etc videos. And you're a great narrator

In Hawaii we have story's about large mo'o or lizards living in our lakes, rivers, streams, mountain forests, and in the surrounding ocean. freaky things in the water are all over the world

#1 what the hell is goose flesh? shouldn't it be goose pimples?

my greatest fear is the skinwalker that stalks me

i have a feeling he's just trying to give us phobias of literally everything and yet i still watch the videos

the second was my mother wanting me back

The idea of things lurking beneath the surface of dark water is always creepy! Good stories!

Man I love these videos and I'm telling everyone I know to sub to you and keep up the good work

That was awesome, thanks DP! Lake creatures are my favourite stories :)

I love these type of stories, this reminded me of when me and my dad and uncle were in New Jersey, we were in a nice fishing spot named "Green Lake" we were in the middle of the lake and out in the distance we saw a long silver snake fish thing, it's kind of hard to discribe, so it looked like a anoconda out of the second "Anaconda" movie, except it was a white silver color, with these long skinny fins touching it's sides, like some kind of mythology sea dragon, and it had a snake belly, a large snake belly, we didn't see its front, or its head, but when it went back we got a good look at its tale, but not good enough, it had a fish tale, but with like skinny tales on the sides of the fish tale, what ever it was, we might never know.. But ill make a skale of how big it was 0

O. M. G. Loved this one. Still hitting up lakes tho 😎

in the first story, how did the monster whistle with out a nose or mouth?

Omg Yaay!! I love these stories! Lake monster stories are my favorite! Thanks so much Darkness!! Your awesome!

I lived up a mountain in Wales a while back, and there was a 'lake' that was actually a flooded forest. A 'horse eel' was said to live in it. we never actually saw anything, but we did have one or two odd experiences there.

This is what I've been waiting for. Love crypto- true stories

This went from Lake monsters to Amphibious monsters....Welp **Pulls out Double Barrel Shotgun** Looks like I'm taking this everytime I go fishing from now on..

You should do w chupacabra attacks video

I have never been scared at these types of videos but this one terrified me nice job man!

Nothing beats having a cold drink on a warm summer day at the beach! I just love the ocean air!

When I was like 5 we went to Scotland, to where loch ness is and while me and my mum were sitting by the water after like 20 minutes we heard this huge splash and there was a massive ripple like 30 meters in front of us. I don't really remember it but she told me. Could have been ANYTHING and was probably a log or something, highly doubt it was anything like a creature but it's just creepy seeing as that's the place where the loch ness monster is supposed to be. Apparently she picked me up and departed pretty quick xD

I wish his picture wasnt black so we could see it😕😕 Cant he like get a person to brighten it up😳😳

For story two: From what I've heard, whatever that thing was; it almost sounds as if it were . . . jealous.

Great enthusiasm, amazing structure and voice :) well built...you have potential, you deserve a lot more subscribers :]

I like how the guy in the last story tells us to believe in these creatures, yet, conveniently, he has no proof.

This. . . This is the video I have been waiting for! I LOVE a good sea/lake monster story!!! Thank you! seriously thank you for that. I loved it. 💙 More! More! More! More! PLEASE?

LOVE the water creature/monster stories!! The ocean (rivers, lakes, ponds, creeks, streams...pools...idc) terrifies me!! We don't really know what is down there in the deep!

Wow! That was freaking awesome! 👍👍👍 This video is the clincher, I'm subbed. 😀

Omfg I had such a funny thought about #2. What if the hand he grabbed wanted to play paddy-cake 😂😂

I love that you use that slight echo while talking, it adds that bit of creepiness that it needs 👍👍👍👍👍

You should do some videos on the chupricabru which translates to"Goat Sucker". For more information on the chupricabru search chupricabru sightings.

Thanks to River Monsters on Animal planet I haven't been able to swim in lakes, rivers, or the ocean anymore, and then you upload this! Totally love you for it!

I've been waiting for this for a long time!

Amazing job as usual. Don't fret the failure friend. Keep at it. You're doing great.

" I'm Old Greeeeeeg! I got a mangina!!"

don't like to think about creatures lurking in the water beneath me while I swim

Man dude I live in Michigan Legit right next to the lake

Now when i go for a swim I'm going to be scared and more. Looking in the water and not going too far in the water😱. Great video as always.

These stories sound like something from Australia us being home to 95% of the worlds deadliest and dangerous animals XD

I love listening to videos from scary story narration channels, and I think you do an amazing job with your videos! :)

My greatest fear is loosing my family

Oh, I am afraid of the deep waters as we never know what's down there. but I still am curious. I am also afraid of death.

From your number one fan in Japan. Kudos on your channel. Interesting stuff!

Failer is my worst fear too!

at least he didn't lay on the shore line and yell "I BEAT YOU!" in story 3

Speaking of dark, I think mirrors at night are my worst fear. They feel like windows more than reflections of whatever room I'm in. Always have to have them covered or else I will feel I'm being watched through the whole night.

Am I the only one who watches these kind of vids at night and scares themself

These are so fun to listen to, I have to stop listening to them at night though xD

Biggest fear? Well, BEING 30 FEET UNDER WATER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING BERMUDA TRIANGLE

I really het a kick out of listening to stories on long car rides

really enjoying these stories keep up the good work.

OMG I am so scared of the dark I started wearing eye covers and there is a crack by the nose you can still see from and it makes me shift them so I don't have to see the dark. Also my cats fight in the dark so it's not comfortable hearing cats screeching.

this is fantastic. My family is going to a lake to swim soon. Perfect. I used to love that place. Now I can only think of freaky scaley things slithering beneath the surface.

When you're walking in the woods alone, and you get the feeling you are being watched: NOPE *Runs back to civilization*

My greatest fear is being infested by parasites and worms and stuff. I freak out enough if a bug so much as touches me, the thought of anything being inside me is terrifying.

I love scary stories based on these monsters

I love listening to you. I listen to you when I do my homework cause I can't wait to listen to your stories. Here have all the loves!

Awesome stories, awesome lenth, can really just dig into it

nice creepy lake monster stories. nice job.

supportive comment for your channel :3

My fear is deff an open closet, not just doors but closet doors. I even have to close my daughters closet dokie every night, cuz its always always cracked open. She asked me why I did this one time and I answered, " it makes the room cool easier with the AC" not wanting to tell her the truth lol. There is something terrifying about the blackness and pit like features a dark closet can give off..

Another fantastic video, thank you.

Open doors late at night can be creepy if you can't remember opening them! Especially when you've had the house to yourself for a day or two and decided to spend the evenings watching horror films!

Bro, awesome job! Cheers for creepypasta, glad I found you on Reddit.

Lake "GO-guh-bic"???? lmao I think this is supposed to be Lake "Go-GEH-bic". Great narration, just made me laugh as I'm from that area.

I love your channel Darkness!!! especially the true ones!!! (number one reason why I won't swim in large bodies of water)

I love your voice, you make the stories Better.

my biggest fear is being alive while my guts get ripped out and id have to carry my intestines until i bleed out and die

Darkness prevails you rock at telling stories

My biggest fear would be getting lost somewhere and have no idea of how to get back home.

In my culture, we have a supernatural being called a sisulth (I'm unsure if that's the correct spelling though). It's a double headed sea monster. Recently I just learned that if you ever see it, you'll die the next day. My mom told me a story of someone who told her when he encountered it. I can't remember how he explained what it looked like, It was crawling up on the shore and he heard the rocks moving. before he could get a real good look at it, his dad turned him away from it saying not to look.
