Your voice has been soothing our dog since we first brought her home! She would calm down and sleep when she heard your voice...we rescued her off the street from a heroin addict who couldn't care for her (the lady was trying to take care of her but was homeless and very messed up, poor thing. No judgement here, just the way it was). She is older now, but still loves to curl up with me late at night and listen to you! Thanks!!

I have a feeling I better sleep with the light on after listening to this one! 😨👻

Great video, have always known there’s more to life than meets the eye, I feel like in this life i am supposed to be doing more than i am doing for the people i love. been seeking for an eye opening enlightenment, a way to be more influential, powerful and protected`.

Thank you so much for posting stories on the Persian Deevs! As an Iranian myself, it makes me fanboy gush every time I hear Persian references on social media/pop culture!!❤🎉

The Middle East as a whole is such a mysterious land, most of my family lives there and I’ve always been a bit superstitious and it wouldn’t surprise me if such things existed but are only heard of and whatnot.

Don't feel bad about the longer intros. I like to learn new things to go with my Creepypastas. Well done, Darkness!

I really enjoy your stories for a few years helps with my issues with my time in the military and my sleep issues, Thank You!

DP FAM ASSEMBLE!!

That one dude totally felt up a sheep-jinn. Lol 😂

This came out at the perfect time

If I wound up with Chuckie-I mean Charley he would find himself in a pillowcase about to meet Mr Baseball Bat. Just in case I'd do it in a churchyard then bury the pillowcase full of Charley bits there.

The Kandahar giant is a good one. 👍

These were a really great selection - it's really good to see some stories from the Middle East as well, don't see many from there but I know there are a ton.

The longer intro was fascinating, I don't mind you sharing information like this. If people don't like to learn new things, that's on them in the end, not you. The stories are as good as ever, mind you, and keep up the good work!

Another amazing video already thanks Darkness!

Shout out to all my fellow Michiganders! Also, Darkness I have been listening to you for years now. You narrate beautifully!

I have 5 dogs as well, 4 rat terrier and 1 fox terrier. Great stories Darkness. I've been listening to your channel for years now. 🕯️🎃🕯️🎸👻

Been there and everywhere. Respect the land wherever you go. Speak to the elders at all cost. They will lead you in their way. Blessings🙌

Now this is a whole different flavor of interesting and mystical. I fall asleep to these videos on your channel all the time!

I love stories and legends from the Middle East. I am more familiar with Asian and South Asian monsters, thanks in no small part to channels like SNARLED and Eastern Legends Animated. It gives me a chance to expand my bestiary knowledge. Thanks Darkness.

The middle East is where the fallen angels fell , everything that's happening NOW make's you think ' we need to wake up to what's going on in the world TODAY, don't you think ??

Would love more demon stories like this often

This is a really unique topic with so much potential in horror. Love it!

Hey darkness prevails can you do a long video on creatures like the shadhavar,kelpies, bicorns and things like that?? Would be cool to hear stories about the shadhavar for sure it's pretty creepy

As soon as it mentioned the sheep i was like "that sheep did not give consent!" Lol

Been listening a long time on other channels thanks for not giving up a long time ago Great Show

Now this one is scary! Especially the intro!

While living in a small town in northern Saudi Arabia and living among local folks I came to know the superstitions of the local people. Stories abound with a strong belief in djinns and witches mixed in with their Sunni Muslim beliefs. Really fascinating stuff in an ancient and beautiful land...

Ahhh this soothing voice

I am from India and have heard the Phalwan story from a village elder...this entity challenges mostly people of heavy build ...

okay so this is really weird, but I've heard almost that exact same sheep story told as a folk tale before, but from someone from literally the other side of the world from Iran, and about a different creature entirely. The story I heard was from Peru I think? Unless it was from Bolivia and I'm mixing it up) About a creature from Quechua folklore called the Ñaqa (I think that's how it's spelled? I'm not totally sure), which is supposed to be a spirit kind of like a Banshee in Irish folklore, in that it appears to people as a harbinger of death. The Ñaqa, though, takes the form of an animal (usually a black one iirc) that can speak like a human, but you will only die if you respond to it when it talks to you. In this story, a Quechua peasant farmer was walking from the market in the nearby town to his farm in the hills one evening, frustrated because he didn't have enough money to buy anything from the market, when he came upon a black sheep just wandering around a small valley unattended, not marked as if belonging to anyone, and realized how valuable a new animal of this quality could be to him and his family, so he hoists the sheep over his shoulder (just as in the story above) and starts carrying it home. After he gets a ways away, he suddenly finds the sheep's face is right up near his own, and then suddenly out of nowhere, it says to him "I like your nose". Shocked, the peasant responds "umm, thanks?" before suddenly realizing with intense horror what is happening and what he just did; he just spoke to the Ñaqa! He immediately dropped the sheep and ran home in terror, but already knew his fate deep down. Predictably, he became mortally ill within the week and died several days later. I don't know why, but as ridiculous as this story is, it always creeped me out. Strange to hear a story from so far away that is so similar.

First like and comment! Hell yeah and thanks a lot Darkness for a new video!😁😁

Hahha I'd be safe from the first one! I'm afraid of the dark, mylar balloons, my clothes being too tight and suffocating me, and seafood. 😂😂 I'm 40 and I have a freakin lavalamp for a night light. It's pink and purple 💜😂😂

I wrote a contract in my own blood years ago, entered into it with an entity I aptly named Mephalis as it seemed fond of the name... eventually plan on writing a book before my time is up

This should help me sleep 🙂♥️

WOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!! Daddy (darkness) done did it again

Love it. U should do more middle east stories. I love ur channel I listen to it every night.

That sheep was a Jinn having a giggle.

The three shadow creatures in coats…. I kid you not.. I saw the same thing when I was 14

Probs to the guy who wrestled a 3 meters tall demon: win and go back to tell everyone, he really was a true champion

Make a video on ghost stories and folk lores from India...we have got, Chalawas, Brhama Rakshas, witches and so many more entities

Ok, the story where the guy saw things in the fog, those just sound like deer. Deer beds are areas of flattened grass, but unless there's mud they won't leave any tracks to them. Deer feet are designed to not leave marks on grass.

Ohhhh so according to their beliefs, its better not challenging em n being brave? It does make sense coz I Keep challenging em n being brave n they keep appearing to me. 😂

Wow love these. I read a very old story by some forgotten author about ghouls it was called " Amina" that Would be an awesome read.

There's always a great array of stories here.

So many dead pets mean bad pet owners.

The music choice was great for this video!

Just Commenting for the algorithm 👍

The English word "Devil" comes from the Farsi Deev. And if I am not mistaken the word "Diva" comes from the Farsi word "Deeve" (Deev e) which is the female deev.

Ah time for nightmares while I sleep thank you for reading bedtime stories ! Darkness you are awesome thank you !!!

The story with Palivon? fighting the creature till morning reminded me of something... The story in the Bible of Jacob fighting "God" till day break. Very similar. I don't think it was God that Jacob or Palivon were fighting...

Thanks this was really good stories.

This is awesome, stuff I’ve never heard about…I dig it

WOW! Impressive pronunciation! My opinion the language is quite difficult! TY 4 all ur hard work!

Darkness is one of the best.

Those were some scary stories! Personally, "Charlie" would be nice and safe underneath the cement of our back patio!

do more next vampires raven mocker and Nahuales

I strongly believe in the existence of Jinn and witchcraft. My cousin was possessed by a jinn that made her speak in a weird dialect, and used to tell her who was going to visit her and a lot of other spooky stuff. The jinn told her that he was sent to her by means of witchcraft in order to prevent her from getting married, and the person who was responsible of that was her parental cousin who was madly in love with her and whom she had rejected his marriage proposal. The jinn told her specific details as where the sorcerer who put a spell on her lived; he said he lived in Oujda in Morroco. After that, her cousin came up to her and kinda confirmed what the jinn said; he offered to take her to Oujda to "cure" her in exchange of marrying him but she refused. Eventually after many exorcisms the demon left her body and now she's married to a nice guy and has a daughter.

What would the winged zombie-like creatures in the horror movie JeruZalem be classified as? They are supposed to be the dead returning to uh...undead life, but with wings? 😳

Omg yes!!! Such a rich area for terrifying stories

Did he give the doll to Zak Bagans or the Warrens.

As a Muslim following the religion of Islam we only fear Allah the almighty nothing else. Whenever there are evil encounters, we confidently recite some of the prayers from the Qur'an and that does the job. Nothing can overpower the words of the almighty. 💯

Ever heard of a veterinarian? Some of the last words spoken in the “something killed my dogs” story were “I’d do anything to protect my family.” And yet..you listened too your dogs fighting a creature all night long and then allowed some of them too die without any proper intervention to prevent it from happening or help them in any way. If your brother or cousin broke both of their legs because they were hit by a car, would you nurse them back to help at home with homemade splints?! Or would you get them medical help? And then, the fact that she got an infection means it was a lot worse then just a couple broken legs. That alone is severe enough for German shepherds who notoriously have hip problems as they age and an injury like that along with any wounds she sustained would probably effect her quality of life too severely in order for her to get back too normal unless she got PROPER treatment and physical therapy. You’d be charged with neglect if you chose to care for a human in that way. And your dogs ARE apart of the family! OBVIOUSLY! More pure and more worthy of loyalty then the loyalty they show us humans. If you can’t afford to take care of your animals, you have no business having any. I worked as a nurse in an emergency room for animals and I cannot tell you how many people walk through the door having not a care or inclination as to what they have done (or not done) which resulted in their animals ending up in the ER in the first place! They act as if they didn’t do anything wrong and have this attitude like they are better then all other beings around them..have it be human or animal. And those people usually get reported and have too deal with the court system after that. I will say though, that if you take your animal to the hospital, you are at least trying. It’s the people who don’t care and their family member or neighbors call the cops or bring the animals themselves. The US needs to get the ball rolling with animal cruelty laws being just as severe as crimes against humans though. It’s ridiculous. I shutter to think of what happens too the animals we don’t end up treating. 🙇🏻‍♀️ that’s my Ted talk for the day. Sorry for the rant. I just can’t stand some people have this nonchalant attitude towards what happens to their animals.

They have said that the ufo presence is gin . Very fascinating concept

Good stories Darkness. Soo take it with a grain of salt. Was that a line from Food Fact or Fiction. Nice 👍

🇬🇧 Ooh lushy la la's ! I love Eastern & Oriental Stories ever since i read 1001 Nights as a child. Please do more, i know there are Thousands of spirits & Daemons Djinn & Night Creatures, Devils of the Deserts, terrible Demoness's, Incubus & Succubus Night Mares, all wonderful stuff! I think we all love stories in this genre, theres so much mystery & hidden things from the ancient of times. Thank you D.P. & hope Mrs D.P. is well & little D.P. Regards 🇬🇧👧

I love your video

DP is the man!

This thumbnail is WICKED!!!

The fact that he continued walking with Kassim....

Hello darkness my old friend 😁

that first one sounds like Predator from the movies. since it approaches the brave ones.

Ah yes the Daevas, the Zoroastrian spirits that are said to be the manifestations of Evil. Always interesting.

It’s so fkn hot in my room so I opened my window but now my room smells like skunk istfg I can’t win🥲

I had multiple djinn encounters in my early adolescent years, the first time I saw the jinn was when I was 11 I saw him walking towards my old apartment building's back entrance It was staring at me while I was peaking from my sheer white curtain my apartment was in the 2nd floor and my mother was also watching him in horror behind me from the window.

Only 1 thing U learn, if there are demons and they make themselves known , you can be sure their are also Angelic beings and their is the Almighty and it takes faith to believe

Djinn would be terrifying to run into

Love your stories!! Always have for years so thank you so much!! Have a great night/day darkness, love your voice it's helped me sleep on so many sleepless night

Great narration!

Awesome, I think all of your videos are awesome!!!

Idk why anyone would take on any possessed or cursed items. 😱

God damn that one story.... worst dog owners on earth! 🤣

Not familiar with middle east demons, this should be good!

I had an encounter with a demonic entity before there real no words can be found on how I felt.... oh yeah I felt like wax molding by a flame emotions had a mind of it's own I wasn't scared but my body react in a manner that was a new experience for me like I wasn't myself I was angry but my anger wasn't reliant it was like I'm a child again 🤨💯

Yes there are Djinn, I didn’t believe it, none of it, I served 3 tours in Iraq, the 3rd & final was guarding a Ziggurat (idk why) but there were all kinds of strange issues happening at sun down, rampant comm outs, chatter no one called in, nvg’s blacking out in certain areas & only turning back on when we left the area, and whispering at night. It was ridiculous, it was a horrible tour and thankfully I got out of the military a month after I got back. Fk ever working for or with the military again. I’m sure the special operations & 3 letter alphabet spook types have much better OR worse stories, depending on your mentality, as they often worked in very forward based locations, sometimes a couple hundred miles out. But srsly that’s the part of the military experience where I realized they don’t give af about you no matter what position or level of authority you hold.

I'm absolutely loving your channel your right beside mortis media Sir 👏

At least demons gives out warnings before they attack.

Not only Ahriman is the devil, early judean religions such as judeism and later christianity basically ripped him off from zoroastrianism and renamed him to create the devil you know and love today.

I'll take on any Djinn, let me at em, come on then, challenge me 🧞‍♂️

Hay

It only challenges the brave?? 🤔 It seemed to me like they got a code of honor Lol!

All negative entities feed off of negative emotions/energy. 😉🤫

I was raised in the Zagros area of Kurdistan. The Palavan stories are told to kids as bedtime stories 😅 no wonder these stories bring me comfort even with the severe ptsd they also caused lol

Aren’t spring peepers a north American frog?

How do you spell the first creatures name?

I kinda wanna meet one and ask for help overcoming my CPTSD. I'd be like, "yeah, I'm afraid, but, at the same time I have an offer. You assist me overcoming my fears which I trust you could find a way to manifest, and in return, you can feast upon that fear as I grow." Hopefully a friendship would be born, and I would bring them back to the US and tell them to invite others.

Hello. The word 'braug' ?? Not sure of the spelling, but the way it sounds, is a South African word for a dog. ( brák ) the 'a' like in 'dark' ... is the word brak. Take care. Thank you for uploading. ✌

Story 1. Clearly Zoroastrian mythology. The most I've heard shared about this incredibly secretive religion, in decades.

I CAN’T DROWN MY DEMONS THEY KNOW HOW TO SWIM! DUN DUN DUN DUN NU NU NU NU NU!

10:12 LMAO the jinn think that guy is about to shag it.
