therapist: "stop crying, stairs can't hurt you" Stairs: *exist*

Catch me in the forest making cat noises and building stairs

Random fact: That picture of a man in the first story is actually a real person and his name was Raymond Robinson. He got horribly disfigured because he got electrocuted when he was 8 years old. He apparently likes to go on walks and he tends to do it at night time to avoid scaring people and because of that, he was actually struck by cars a few times. But on a positive note, mans lived a full life and he peacefully passed away in 1985 at the age of 74.

i'm sure this is an obvious connection but i love the fact that the author leaves it up to the listener to realize the severed hand from the stair story likely was the one that ended up fused to that tree

*Everybody gangster till realize you lost your stairs...*

2 common things found in the woods 1. stairs 2. people without shoes

The way I always come back to listen to Corpse's stories. This one is still one of my favourites

Man I miss this age of the internet. 4chan and Reddit stories were the absolute best and most interesting stories I’ve ever read. Many of these people deserve to become authors and make money.

Park Ranger when they see demons ghost and spooky stuff: Kalm Park Ranger when they see stairs: Panik

I like to imagine someone being in their house, getting ready to go upstairs, only to find that the staircase is missing, and their all like "oh dammit not again!"

Man it’s nostalgic listening to corpse I stumbled across him when I first started listening to scary stories years ago. Can’t believe this is 6 years old already.

This forest ranger nosleep story is probably the best series of stories I have ever heard.

Me: Expecting demons and shit Corpse Husband: S T A I R S

top 10 scary things in the woods: 10: stairs 9: stairs 8: stairs 7: stairs 6: stairs 5: stairs 4: stairs 3: stairs 2: stairs 1: backflip kid

Legitimately, some of the scariest stories I’ve EVER heard. I remember being home alone and going outside because of how afraid I was to be home alone.

this is a collection i’ll never stop coming back to. The mix of the fantastical and the crushingly grounded stories, along with the clear knowledge of the author, lends a believability that’s rare in the genre. It’s just classic. I retell some of these as campfire stories on occasion

"Don't go up the stairs." "Why?" * cryptic response* "What does that have to do with anything?" * aggressive cryptic response* "Can you give me any answers?" * cryptic silence.*

Man my stairs are gone....... Can't have shit in Detroit

And I'm still here in 2024 to fall asleep to this as my fav video. Thank you corpse! This narration calmed my brain more times than I could count until I was able to sleep.

Happy that Corpse found his big break and I hope he's still doing what he loves, but man I can't get enough of his narrations even all these years later.

His voice like dropped two full octaves over four years Edit: I got it, throat condition, 80 other people have said it already

I'll never trust stairs...They're always up to something...

Any time I can't sleep I play this. Been playing it every night for the past week. Miss corpse reading scary stories

This is how I remember Corpse... Back in the day. He's come a long way since these videos... He's one of the O.G. 's when it comes to scary stories...

Just imagine being high as shit in a forest and all of a sudden you hear a man in a low voice say "Meow".

"just dont hike." -an alive guy

True or false, the baby story is a living nightmare for me. I take my kids hiking with us all the time and my chest always gets tight with anxiety around all cliff edges, bridges, etc. I cannot help but imagine one of my kids falling and I immediately feel like hyperventilating and tremble and grip my kids tightly. That story sounded like what goes through my mind in those moments and I immediately began to tremble.

the story with the man making a meow sound- i have a story EXACTLY like that. i get chills every time i talk about it because it seriously creeps me the fuck out. I was with my friends outside and it was around 7:46-7:52 PM and we were in this area where theres this abandoned waterpark and next to it theres a few bushes but theres also houses and apartment complexes around so its mostly safe to be there in the day time but at night theres lots of groups coming there esp when its summer but the time this happened to me was in winter- this winter. its always very cold so most people from my city dont even go out during winters or if they do they go to restaurants and stuff like that but a few weeks ago i was out with my friends and we were chilling around that abandoned waterpark area and we hear this strange "meow" and we ignore it since it was pretty far away from us then we hear it again around 8:04 PM and it was WAAAAY closer and it sounded more like a bark and a meow combined so we were rightfully confused and slightly scared and then 5 minutes later we hear the "meowing" get more frequent and fast and loud and one of my friends decides to go with me to check it out and when we get there we see this man, in a grey hoodie, black straight long hair, covering his face with it, with a black jacket. We see him- he sees us- we run, and he starts running after us. We yell out to our other friends to run because we're being chased and they start running right away. For 5 days straight we heard that "meowing" sound in every place we went and the last time we heard it, we also heard footsteps following us

Nobody: Stairs in the woods: peace was nnever an option

One dude’s story had someone getting their hand severed when going up stairs and then another had a hand appeared inside a tree. Very peculiar

“Don’t touch them, don’t look at them, don’t go up them.” Gets me EVERY time. I’m always in tears when this video is over for one reason or another, whether I’m straight up terrified or thinking about those kids whose parents will always have to wonder, and I’ve watched this a HUNDRED times. I would love to make this into a short film with the OP’s permission, these stories are so original and haunting.

This is already 6 years old now... I was in a dark spot, and your voice with this content kept me occupied enough to engage my thoughts, while soothing me at the same time. They were really lifesavers back then. I hope you are on a healing path as well.

can't believe I sat on the toilet for 2 hours Edit: keep this shit at 6.9k lmao

The guy with no face: hmm, yes I am normal human man. I enjoy air and walking.

This is undoubtedly my favorite piece of content he's ever produced, I find comfort in coming back ot and listening to it. First time commenting however. Hello fellow returnees 🙂

I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this video. This one has always been my favorite. I may have started with mr. Nightmare but quickly grew to love corpse husband, now I'm hooked on let's read. but I always come back to this video. I had listened to everything all of you had out at the time at, then I took a break for a few years so that I can just blow through what you have that I haven't heard yet. For days and days that's all I'll listen to while I'm at work and sometimes my days are 15 hours. So thank you for this!

Corpse voice 4 years ago: deep Corpse voice today: DEEP AF

Guys I’m so scared I just found some stairs in my house. What do i do?

I commented a while ago telling you that I used to watch this video with my dad when he was in the hospital, it was our comfort video…. Honestly, we listened to your stories together almost every night when I was in highschool. Well, I’m revisiting it for the first time in 3 years, since my dad passed… thank you corpse, for all the memories ❤️ I will forever be grateful for all your scary stories videos, because they were special to my dad and I.

The phrase “he took an impossibly long step towards him” has actually haunted me for years. The whole image really got under my skin and stuck with me.

Person: * goes missing or randomly dies* Search and Rescue Officers: Dammit! Someone touched the stairs again! I'm sorry

I didn't look at the length of this before I started listening and now i'm in too deep to stop

I literally have chills… especially the stories about the faceless man, hairy man, and of course the staircases!

I remember finding this years ago way before he blew up. I still find myself coming back to this every other year or so. Probably my favorite reading his voice fits perfectly with these stories.

What have we learned class? 1. Don't trust stairs 2. Don't become a search and rescue officer 3. Don't back flip through the forest, im looking at you Freddy

crackhead missing. last seen backflipping through the woods

I come back to this video so often, it’s one of the best “spooky horror narration” videos on the entire platform. Wish there were more like this. Perfect music, perfect pacing, great emotions in the narration. Probably my favorite video on KZfaq ❤

It's been years but I still can't move on from this, I love this one so much! It really creeps me out, especially on gloomy quiet days like that

yo imagine being in the woods and some random dude is backflipping towards you. I'd be terrified too

Confirmed: Search and Rescue officers have balls of steel.

I miss these. Hope you're doing well these days, CORPSE. Rooting for your continued success, but also peace of mind, in your future.

The one with the back flipping guy is both horrifying and funny af at the same time

People: Go missing Rescue Workers: Damnit the stairs struck again

this dude has inspired me to tell my stories on the job as a middle of the woods staircase builder.

Whenever my mental state is stable enough to listen to scary stories, I always choose corpse to fall asleep to. Thank you so much for your content, even if it's 6+ year old, you have been my favorite content creator. Looking forward to(if you ever do, no pressure❤️) your next scary story content😊

This is one of the first videos I listened to from corpse husband & was hooked! Been a subscriber since December of 2015. This is actually my favorite video & my second favorite would be scary hiking and camping stories. Happy to see how successful he has become.

HONEYYYYY WHEREEEE AREE MY STAIRSSSSSSS ????????

Imagine how much scarier this would be if Corpse said it right now.

I think that this is the absolute most perfect horror narration. I love that it’s actually scary and not just all jumbled up. I like the fact that there’s real emotion, the horror in his voice from hearing the most fucked up thing. The music and horror sounds are absolutely perfect. I always come back to this narration whenever I want to show someone anything horror

I’ll genuinely love these stories because they are just supernatural enough to evoke vivid images yet still normal enough that they could just possibly be true

Moral of these stories: Don’t go into the woods alone.

i hope there are elevators too and not only stairs in the woods for people in wheelchairs

One time I was stopped by two women asking if I'd seen a little boy, one of the womens 3yo son had ran off. I promised to keep an eye out but I got an uncomfortable feeling about it, moments later I was stopped by a teenager on a bike asking the same thing. That feeling exploded inside of me, I got goosebumps all over my body and a sudden urge to go to a nearby stream. I asked if they'd checked the stream but apparently he would'd have made it that far in such a short time, I told the teenager I would check along the stream. Something felt really off and as I walk along the stream my heart was racing more for each step, I've had this feeling before and knew what waited for me. A stone throw away from me I saw something at the surface not belonging to nature, I quickly ran over and looked down into the water and trapped on a branch on the bottom was the little boy. Eyes wide open looking back at me and for a second fear gripped me but I snapped out of it and pulled him out and started CPR while on the phone with Emergency Services, I remember how loud the sound from the helicopter was. The feeling that it took an eternity for the firefighters to run across the field, the boy died and his eyes haunted me for years before I got psychological help. During the entire time a nagging thing insisted in the back of my head, he was missing one shoe and for some reason it bothered me greatly. The incident was classed an accident and the police kept telling me "You're a hero for finding and trying to save his life" but in my mind I could only think "But he died, I didn't rescue anyone". Of course the media wanted to get in touch with me and the police asked me if I wanted to talk to them, "Why? I didn't save him." was my answer. I've seen dead people before in calm and messed up ways when I worked in elemder care, I've seen horrific injuries but the incident with the kid really fucked me up inside. I was very messed up after that psychologically, and to this day the only thing that really got to me and I've been through some shit before that. I'd get flashbacks sitting on the bus and rushing off at the next stop trying to breathe myself through a fucking panic attack. Today I am in a better place but I've realized that sometimes the brain just had enough and bail out, those fucking eyes still comes around and visit my dreams sometimes when I forget my sleep meds. This kind of shit can happen to anyone, a seasoned veteran in retirement or a rookie on his first goorefest, please seek help right away. I waited years and it has taken me years to get my fucking head straight after that, the longer you let it fester the longer it takes to get rid off. I've seen degloved finger with bone sticking out, I've held the hand of an elderly lady taking her last breath, I've been covered in puke and shit and still wasn't fazed... Shit, I've stitched myself up without numbing and thought nothing could touch me because I somehow was immune to death and injuries, life came along and kicked my nuts so hard I was floored for years. Stay safe out there and don't bottle that shit up, it'll blow up in your face like a fucking IED piñata.

I honestly can't remember how many times I've listened to this, the story itself is amazing but the narration makes it even better. This video helped me through many hard nights when my thoughts were buzzing none stop and everything was going too fast. It helped to ground me. Thank you Corpse, thank you for making my day better and easier.

Normal Corpse: (Monster encounters, dead body findings, murder scenes) This corpse: *S T A I R S*

I watched this years ago, not realizing corpse was the one who did the voice over for it.

Holy crap. I fell asleep listening to something not related and it automatically kicked over to this. What a thing to wake up to.

The poor people in a alternative universe who lost their staircases

officer: nature rarely makes straight edges... Minecraft: ...

I listened to this the day after Christmas at work. The entire factory was empty and I was the only one there. One of the creepiest environments I've been in.

It’s funny how we find our way back, again and again, to the same places.

Stairs... Stairs rhymes with bears. Bears are in the Forest. Forest... for..rest... bears hibernate for rest.. I have no idea where I'm going with this...

Aw man, listening to Corpse now compared to this video, he sounds like a baby here 😂

i wonder if he ever did come back or if he’s now lost to the stairs or just to the unknown out there

Just like imagine god just placing stairs everywhere in the forest as he's trying to empty his inventory

Am I the only one who thinks the images he uses while reading the story are scarier than the actual story.

despite it all, we still love you corpse

I once lived in a farming area and got used to that sound of "screaming" but it also sounds like a screech owl. Let's just say; I ran from my aunts house to our house quickly through the fields in total darkness without missing the trail. Then later on when we lived in the Laurentian Mountains; as my sister and her husband left our home ; he was holding their baby in his arms; heard a rustling behind them in the dark. Upon arriving to their cottage they shone a light back to the path they were walking and saw a cougar.

my absolute worst fear is getting lost or kidnapped and the people that try to find me just give up or stop looking

It was around 56:40 that I started hearing shit in my house. It is 5:30 am when this happened. I hit pause to listen for whatever it was. Shortly after wards I heard a knock on the front door of the house. Like any idiot, I go investigate it. It becomes increasingly louder the closer I get to the door. I open it to look outside. It's a fucking opossum digging through the bag of trash I had forgotten to take down to the can last night. I shew it off and close the door. As I'm locking it I hear something behind me. I turn around hesitantly to someone standing behind me. They whisper "boo" and I flip the fuck out. Gotta hate roommates sometimes..... Yes this really happened just now.

I cant believe it's been 8 years since I first listen to Corpse Husband. I always come back to this story every few months.....the last time I check when this was posted, it said 4 years ago, 6, and now it says 7? I tell you, time passes by so fast! Corpse Husband please come back soon!! We miss you!!!

Certified hood classic right here. I always gotta come back and revisit this video at least once or twice a year.

why is no one talking about the 5 year old kid shoved in a hole in some cliff??? thats literally the most disturbing thing ive ever heard almost threw up man wtf.

Scent: disappears Superior: dammit someone climbed the stairs againn

I always hope corpse doesn't remove any of his old narration videos. I actually put this specific video on to help me sleep 😩 can't sleep without this playing in the background

I come back and watch this video every so often. It's truly one of my favorites

W H A T A R E T H E S E P H O T O ‘ S

when you start to connect the dots.... (spoiler warning) so they found a baby in a *hollow* log. the two boys go missing, one found said to be kept by the "fuzzy man" who let him stay in a *hollow* log. one of the first stories was of a child being taken by a "bear man" (same guy as fuzzy man?). also the "fuzzy man" had no face and would scream loudly. remember the climber who said he saw a man at the top of a cliff with no face who screamed??? also how that worker randomly showed up miles away from the camp, and how people would show up tens of miles away from where they should be. those people randomly vanishing just like her.. and how when they did show up it was as if they had just died, or just went missing when in reality it was much longer. for her it felt like 30 min when it was 2 days.. also the man who's hand got cut, the hand being found in a *hollow* tree..

This has been one of my favorite videos for so long, I always come back and rewatch because I have yet to come across a collection of stories that disturbed me as much as these. Corpse has the perfect voice for scary stories

This is one of the only creepypastas that actually gives me chills.

-18th century people afraid of demons- *21st century people afraid of stairs*

The one when the baby was accidentally dropped, it nearly made me cry, just thinking about what pain the parents went through, just seeing their baby, lifeless, on the ground.

Damn I can remember when you first uploaded this! It truly was a fantastic narration! I'm glad you are doing well, Corpse! You deserve it!

I don't know how the hell I stumbled on all these scary story narrations but I absolutely love your voice and your content. Thank you for doing all of this. I'm never bored! Sucks I'm so late to the party and I just now know about you Corpse. You're dope. Much love bro

Hold up, there was a guy whose hand was cut clean off at the top of one of the staircases, then a different group finds a perfectly severed hand fuzed with the wood inside of a tree? Not a coincidence

Backflip guy: "I am speed" *Gets shot at and backflips in the opposite direction:" deeps ma I"

I have to rewatch this video yearly

I really like these stories because they all sound plausible. Creepy occurrences, things that are unexplainable but not overdone…. And a good amount of things that any park ranger would experience like finding dead bodies. It makes the scarier stories even scarier, because they seem more real when in the context of the rest of the video.

The thumbnail looks so scary . *Imagine seeing a big red arrow in the woods*

I didn't realized I've been listening to corpse even before he went so popular Edit: I rarely check KZfaq channel names when it's in my recommendation tab so I didn't realize I've been listening to him for years
