"Pfft, it's my house! I can kill myself with it if I wanted!"

This is my favorite type of creepypastas. They don't really scare me as much as others, but the storytelling is inconceivably good.

I work as a radiologist in the USAF; specifically, I work in the Nondestructive Inspections Laboratory. Hearing .2mR/hr and then 2.0 mR/hr is crazy. That is the exact hourly maximum we can receive during emergency shoots un unshielded environements and in less than a week you would receive the same amount of radiation as a year of 'usual living' (~600mR). 21 mR/hr is absolutely massive. Less than thirty hours to receive an annual dose. 200, 400, 800 mR/hr? I don't think you'd just walk away after a serious exposure to radiation of that dose--and most protective equipment would not be able to handle this manner of dose. Anything prior would be likely Radon, but at that level.. that sounds closer to exposure from a direct source--is this some kind of radiation disposal hidden in a residential neighborhood? That wouldn't explain the cold. If anything, it would be very warm. 1000s, 10000s? Typically 15,000 mR total dose causes a 5% increase in cancer rates, but that is over a long period of time. 200,000 mR is typically a threshold for fatal 'acute' doses. 377,000 mR/hr is just unrealistic. He would not have survived at that dosage for more than thirty, fourty minutes at best. That is almost the average dosage of the Lorad LPX 160 Radioactive Excitation tube at 4.0 mA of energy--which is a direct source of excitation at extreme power levels--used to expose film through several inches of steel, or aluminum. That's just crazy. Kid's boned, and it wouldn't matter if he was covered in any manner of bubble suit. Well, sort of, it depends on the type of radiation--which a simple geiger counter couldn't differentiate. If Alpha radiation, perhaps that would work? If Beta, Gamma, perhaps even Neutron, no. My guess is, he was using a Victoreen survey meter that was actually measuring in μRem (Micro rems) which would make the story much more plausible, even if a peak reading of 377,000 μR/hr (37,700 mR/hr) would likely have given the man fatal doses down the line from complications thereafter. An interesting read, about a creature which is a massive conduit of radiation.

why has nobody commented on how insanely good he is at voice acting, he did a very very good job like jesus christ i was with him through all of that. the raw emotion you portrayed, it wasn’t a “storyteller” speaking it was a man named jack. like it was told astoundingly from a first person point of view as if he was telling the story all himself. amazing job i can’t express enough

The only question is: Why is there an unusable bathroom in the basement?

This is why you always wear your Power Armor.

Man, I listened to this as it came out. It's a really neat one if anyone is looking for the comment to reassure them it's worth their time.

If your house has a tunnel in an attic, it's probably not going to be a good time. Seems like a terrible investment. Excellent work man.

I love this character 😂 "What the hell! It's my house and I'll kill myself with it if I want to!" "The fish have plenty more so don't worry about it" Lmao

I have been FALLING... for 30 minutes!

This story is beautiful in its slow, quiet, bleak brand of ominous fear. It knows you're scared of it, and doesn't need shock and awe to prove it. No, it takes its time in slowly, carefully building a world that, while it is far richer than a mere scare tactic, is indeed terrifying and leaves the reader feeling small in the face of a threat that, because it is impersonal and does not specifically shock you, feels far bigger and greater than simpler horror monsters. The reader is left feeling hopeless and doomed, eclipsed by a cold darkness that is far harder to cultivate than mere shock at a jumpscare or gross-out. It is uncannily brilliant.

this is more sad than scary...I mean it is scary in a different way, but I actually kind of teared up a little at the end either way, I absolutely love this narration style

I just gotta say. The dude who wrote this is amazing. I just realized they’re the same guy who made the search and rescue stories (plus a few others, equally impactful and strange)

**SPOILERS AFTER "READ MORE"** i'm gonna explain the entire story for people who don't understand it, so again after clicking "read more" you'll be exposed to ever spoiler imaginable for this story, you've been warned!! Ok so the guys dad, I'll call the guy anon, when down into the spiral to check things out after anon and his brother pointed the spiral out to him. He walked all the way down the spiral and when he got to the end, the shape shifter choked him with the Christmas lights. this allowed the shape shifter to take on the form of a human and leave in the form of anon's dad. The shape shifter is what gave the mom the intense cancer. Anon decided now that he owns the house that he'll explore it too. he discovers it's a fibonacci spiral (look it up, it's basically a mathematically perfect/flawless shape portion) and in the final room of the spiral (the largest where it is snowing) he finds his dads dead body, left there after the shape shifter choked him so that he could take his form and leave the spiral, where he is trapped. this explains why anon's hands were sticky after investigating the hatch as a kid, because the shape shifter resealed it with some type of glue or epoxy, and it was still fresh. Because we can presume the shape shifter is *extremely* radioactive and was in the spiral for so long, that's why it was so intensely radiated, but anon's dad was preserved because of the sub zero temperatures. to put the temps into perspective, it was colder in the spiral than it ever was in antarctica in the 2017 winter months. anon became extremely ill with radiation after going into the spiral, and when he came out after walking for god knows how long (probably well over a few hours because of the 4 mile marking, and how he very very slowly had to make his way back) he was already well past the point of no return. he decided to go back down into the final spiral quadrant to be with his dad mainly because he knew if he stayed around and seemed help, it would prompt an investigation into the tunnel resulting in the deaths of however many people would've gone down. this also explains why he was so adamant to his brother and his friend to keep out, because he knew what would happened, except he made it out to tell others, unlike his dad. so his "suicide", even though he would've died anyways, was just to preserve his brother and friend so they and no one else wouldn't suffer the same fate as him. so in the end anon was just trying to save as many people as possible, which is why he told his brother he'll never find his body and to do NOT go looking, as well as to immediately sell the house without any investigation into anon's death. hope this explained the story

The scariest part of this is when he said he fucking walked back in the dark like wtf. And it was 4 mil plus NO NO NO NO NO

This story is so fake - who graduates from college and gets a really good job!? What are we, baby boomers!?

Almost 5 years later and this story still plagues my mind, definitely my favourite creepypasta as well as my favourite narration. It’s the sort of story that just sits with you for a long time.

His voice is always gonna be jack from the gas station. Maybe it’s just because it was his first story I listened to but it just fits the character. So I’ve just been imagining jack buying a house

What did we learn? If you don't visit Chernobyl, Chernobyl will visit you.

Why did you undo the cement? You should have just added Flex Tape™ onto it and leave the door alone.

What if the shapeshifter was trying to escape but fell in love with the mother, felt bad for poisoning her, and bailed before the truth was revealed???

I love Mr. Creepypasta. His narration makes the sorry seem all the more real. Its like he actually experienced the story.

“You have to literally crawl to get to it” That are called a crawl space

I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE STORIES WITH FIBONACCI NUMBERS IN IT

I really wish there was an in depth story of the first family that lived there and the shapeshifter

I'm a boiler maker and I work nights. My career requires about 25 certificates and extensive school and training. However, at times I'm stuck on a very mindless and extremely repetitive task that lasts the whole night. Nights like these, MCP is a fucking GOD send. Thanks, you wonderful human being.

this makes me wanna buy my childhood home... there’s a door in the attic... actually i’m good i don’t wanna do that

The house was probably built on top of the structure and the tunnel in the attic was made by the original builders of the house

Wow. This one sure aged well. 2018 feels like just yesterday. Love you MCP

This left me with a legitimate sense of dread for like two days after listening to it. I have no idea why.

Normal you tuber : Ima make a ten minute vid and put four ads in it. MrCreepyPasta: Let's make an hour long vid with 3 ads.

I wanna buy my childhood home. For some reason, my parents were really protective of their closet. I didn't even get to *look* into it.

oh my god i get it now!! his dad "changed"! agh this is so good

i know this is weird but this guy has the same voice in every video but manages to somehow make it different in a way to fit the character in the story.

This story is one of the scariest I've ever heard. The whole idea that there is this crazy hidden monstrosity that nobody ever knew about for certain, and its almost like a family curse to live in that house. Its also scary because there are some old houses that literally do have mine shafts in them just like this.

I cried when he said he was going to stay with his dad. Go down there so he wasn’t alone, I love my dad so much and I think I would do the same.

You are the best like narrator I have ever heard, you just sound so comfortable talking and I could listen to you for hours

honestly, the way he's talking about the cold you'd think he was in Canada

I still come back to this video was so good

god your voice acting is so good it feels like it's actually told by someone who genuinely experienced the situation i love it

Well someone read House of Leaves.

I'm definitely not here at this definite time

How the hell did that guy withstand those amounts of radiation for as long as he did holy crap--

This reminds me of Junji Ito for two reasons. 1. The spiral 2. How reality shatters and nothing makes sense.

This is the only creepypasta that has actually ever scared me, good on ya. Love the videos

I’m already hiding in the comments

Starts climbing down hole, starts hearing ode to joy.

Dudes friend progressively gets "bigger" down the tunnel lmao

I love how you read these - they make the story so much realer

This is the first story i've found in a literal year that made me feel unsettled.

Love his voice, the acting is perfect, the added umms and whatever’s sound so natural, so real! Really drew me in.

I listen to this channel every day on my way back home from school, its so addictive and his narration is amazing!

It's always so much fun to listen to these stories again after the first time. And to see all the foreshadowing of the plot twist and realize how easy they were to miss.

That is true hell in my opinion, not some burning eternal suffering ruled by a red demon with horns. Just cold and silence so you can reflect on everything to your life and what you've done to what you can never do or fix. Just Darkness Cold and Silence.

returning to your childhood home is the plot of every mobile game nowadays

Listening to this gave me the chills. Your voice is so perfect for narrating Creepypastas. I've been listening to you for years and I just want you to know (if you ever see this comment) that you make my day a bit better. Even though you don't write the stories I can't help but think they would be incomplete without you to narrate them. Thank you so much for all you day, man.

*I LOVE THE LONG/ WHOLE SERIES STORIES. THEY HELP ME SLEEP*

This could actually make a good horror movie

Awesome narration make keep up all the great work!

Wow. This story was really great including your narration. Thanks so much.

Amazing narration Mr CreepyPasta! Absolutely one of my favourite creepy pastas. Its so good that I felt chills whenever the MC talked about how cold it was. The suspense is freaking brilliant and very thrilling.

love your narrating style. good acting, convincing tone, engaging, good work!

this story, somebody standing in my yard, search and rescue stories - these are my fav mcp narrations

This is the earliest ive been to his videos...proud of myself

ok I don't remember if it is said in the video but where is this house, I know the point of him sacrificing himself was so no one found the tunnel but what if someone else is living in that house at this very moment. I don't expect an exact location but a state or city would be nice

Yes I was hoping you would do this!!! And it was an honor to meet you in real life you are truly a funny and an amazingly talented guy!!!

New to listening to the stories. I really enjoy listening to them so far. Excited to hear more.

Great story- your voice, tone and annunciation is great, so easy and wonderful to listen to.

I'm gonna bet before I finish this, the dad never came back from the hole. It was his spoopy clone.

there's no way he would've lived past 1,000 rads. he would've died way before then from hypothermia if not the radiation.

Love this story and the twists to it all was fantastic!! Keep up the brilliant work with your stories!! From the UK!!

I really like how you do your stories, I makes it seem like I'm having a conversation with someone because of the slip ups and second takes you do.

I wanna see a pt2 where his brother finds this story, connects the dots, and tries his best to hunt the radiation monster

Why go down a dark hole that’s has no end, that’s nutty

Wow, another great story. The author along with the narrator gave us a great story. Bravo!

lol I love how much character was in the narration. Nice change from the deep ominous narrator of most creepypasta storytelling on youtube

couldn't it be an abandoned uranium mine?😅

*The music starts at about 4 minutes in* "It is the 41st millennia. For more than a hundred centuries, the emperor of mankind has sat immobile on the golden throne of Earth..."

I was really on edge for like a week after listening to this whenever I thought about the story...So thanks...

This was so well written and so well read! I’m not finished listening, but I like it a lot so far. Have you ever thought of doing podcasts?

Scooter *Jim Henson wants to know your location.*

Creepy-a door stuck shut Me:CORALINE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!???

Best creepy pasta I’ve listened to I’ve been listening for 6 years.

Your story telling abilities are amazing!

This one had me laughing my ass off 😭 “the fish have plenty more don’t worry about it” ☠️

Time to put in a call to the SCP foundation to see if they can find this creature and contain it again.

Creepsmcpasta when reading a character when they're angry: normal Mr . creepypasta: I SAT DOWN AND CRANKED THE FLASHLIGHT

Being interested in old houses these types of stories are my favorite

I legitimately had a dream like this once, except i was still a child and my brother wasnt there

If his dad was down there this whole time then how did he get a call from his brother in that he had died? Wouldn’t it rather be a call that dad went missing? Because he said they were both cremated so who’s ashes does he have as his “dad’s”?

I'm a fan of creepypastas but I usually listen to the >15 minute ones, this is the first longer one I've listened to. God, was it worth it.

Saying he would bring winter gear I would bring the whole swat team

OMG I EVEN GET TO DECORATE!!!!!!!!!

Uranium fever has finally got me down Uranium fever is spreading all around

The Ladder is the 4th entrance of The Tomb of Horrors. At the bottom if you move the toilet by turning it counterclockwise it will slide revealing a crawlspace just big enough for a person to squeeze through. Once you wiggle your way through you will come up into what looks like a box but if you feel around you will find a latch. Once opened you will come out of a bench in the back of what appears to be a Chapel. You are now in the Chapel of Evil. Be careful about messing with the other benches as they hold gas traps.

THAT was so flipen good man i was on the egde of my seat till the very end. very emotional and hart wrenching. and the concept was terrifying. beutifull

My little brother's name is also Ryan, so when he's apologizing to his brother at the end, I got freaked out for a second.

Gonna be a good one

This was such a great story I've listened to it many times

Coming back to this one is so nostalgic man
