My biggest gripe with these horror stories is they always start off as if they're a true first person telling of events but then they always ensue into writing that feels like it's from a novel, I just feel like the writing could be more natural and fluid rather than stopping to pull up fancy adjectives and adverbs every sentence

tbh, as soon as i heard that people had been using their chimneys while it being thought, my mind immediately went to “they crawl through chimneys.”

“I am not an artist” Proceeds to draw the coolest drawing I’ve ever seen

It's so funny how many horror writers don't know that your phone can call 911 with no service.

Don’t you just love it when a creepy story takes place somewhere near you and also you just so happen to be right next to a huge forest? It’s just *_FÃÑTÁŠTĮÇ_*

this was a cool one...i think the "catchall" term for these creatures are "Fleshgaits" cause they aren't skinwalkers in the traditional terms

The weird part about this is that I swear to god, I recognize this Jess, but i know it's not the one I know. My aunt's name is Jess. Well, Jessie, but everyone calls her Jess. She looks almost exactly like the Jess in the story, and they act similarly. They even owned a house close to a lake, though my Jess was right on it. Just a whee bit uncanny.

Gotta say, this is a wonderful story and one of ny favourites in the genre. I would pay good money for a book full of these compiled into an anthology, and I am SO glad to see you doing that in audio form. Keep up the great work!

after the first time seeing one i would have bought a gun either legally or illegally i am not fucking living in place with those things if im not straped at all times

I will say the story is great, good monsters, and good character development. HOWEVER, I feel like there is unnecessary detail in the surroundings for getting chased by an ancient or extraterrestrial creature. It makes it feel less grounded, and more like a sci-fi book being posted bit by bit on twitter. That's just my opinion tho

The lake reminds me of Quabbin in Massachusetts. Man-made reservoir that was made by evacuating a bunch of towns then flooding em. Just thought that was kind of interesting

If you're ever in danger and for some godforsaken reason your phone has no service, when calling 911 your phone will automatically connect to the nearest satellite no matter what. Stay safe friends!

At some point in the story she screamed at them and they were confused/suprised i think it's because people only ever screamed at them when being attacked/murdered so when she screamed at them they had no idea why she was doing it specifically after one of them had screamed.

The thing about her when she kept drawing the thing I think it could be a rake because supposedly it stalks you and make you go insane

the cool thing about this story is that Candlewood Lake isn't a made-up lake, it's a real lake that exists (and yes, it's man-made too) but i didn't find any other stories about this lake so it seems like this is the only one

Merry Christmas Nate, uploaded the first ep for second season

Man replies to most of his comments, I respect that

So Johanna is like, this immortal being that helps whoever she can by scragicing herself

I love these! Been binging them over and over. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! These videos are so entertaining, it's exactly what I have always needed

candlewood Lake is real. Even the 1928 and manmade part is true. It is even in connecticut where the story takes place. I may or may not have a proposition that may have already started being visible in this without mentioning

Love this one. Your narration is always great! ^^ cant wait for more! 😊🎉

the first mistake was going up a random staircase in the middle of the forest! (EXPLAINATION - Staircases leading to no where in the middle of the forest are said to lead to "other worlds." It may not look like anything has changed, but you'll feel a difference. Things will be off, things will be different.)

Why did you make the little old dutch lady sound like ugandan yoda lmao😂

merry christmas! im obsessed with these twitter thread videos

missed opportunity to name them pharynx and larynx

this would be a great horror game

One of my favorite stories so far!

YOU NEED TO DO MORE OF THESEEEE

Nice vid!!! I always like this long form story vids while I draw, congrats on 2 k subs!!!

love your vids man keep up the good work

That was pretty cool I liked it man!!! I subbed cause I loved how you told the story like it was one of you're own.

I liked this one, and also loved your voice for Johanna, it made me smile at parts that I maybe wasn’t supposed to smile at, lol!

it has been a while since ive been actually scared enough to keep the lights on. Good work, Jess.

merry christmas!!!!!!!! fking love this stuff

You have a good voice for stories

Man I love these merry Christmas everyone

If im getting attacked by a skinwalker and someone starts posting about it on twitter instead of helping im throwing hands with them to.

This was wonderful, but there were points reminiscing clueless protagonists in horror films that made me throw my hands up in frustration, guessing its done on purpose though. Either way good story

These videos are so underrated

why do the lurchers sound like a perfect description of me? "tall, skinny, pale, long fingernails"

Good lord this got needlessly convoluted 🤦

eyy a good day when theres a new natedogg vid, merry christmas!! Edit: you should change your twitter to dark mode :>

Wonder if they took inspiration from jordan peele's Nope. Only other place I've seen a monster that digests prey by crushing them instead of dissolving them with stomach acid.

I really like the story and the idea behind it but the way it was written kinda bothered me for some reason. Like, it's not bad by any means, if anything the thing that bothers me is the fact that its way too good. It might just be a preference thing but like, they're clearly a writer (based off of the language they use and the fact that their username has an ad for a book they wrote lol) and that's all fine, its just that to me hearing the way they describe stuff takes away a lot of the realism and emotion from it (even tho ik its fake, obviously). It's prob something to do w the fact the story is on Twitter, so it kinds feels like you're talking to a friend and then they go like "yo the craziest thing happened to me last night. I was deep within my sleep, unnaturally heavy under last moon, as if the darkness itself held down my eyelids and engulfed my mind in misty numbness. Then, as if manifested from a void beyond my mind, I felt a chilling touch upon my forehead, pressing against me like cold, almost frosted needles, startling me awake. As I desperately looked around my darkened room, sweat blooming from my trembling skin, I caught glimpse of a figure the instant before it vanished into my closet, leaving behind a trail of wispy cold. Confusion quickly gave way to terror and I froze in place, yet the thing never returned. The next morning, as I went to use the bathroom, I looked upon my own reflection, only to see a dark purple print in the middle of my forehead, right where I had felt that morbid, frozen touch. Shit's wild, right? Lol". cuz it feels like they were writing this for a book and not a Twitter thread by someone traumatized trying to vent their trauma with something they can't even fully grasp A good example of of what I'm talking about is this part here: "I don't usually just drop off to sleep sitting up, but I haven't had much sleep and suddenly I was just... the chill blackness pressed in around me - a deep, endless, lonely dark - palpable silence broken again by something just beyond my hearing. I drifted toward it, dread roiling in my gut because I knew that the vague, garbled thrum would coalesce into an all-too-familiar death rattle" Idk, I don't wanna sound like a prick, just wanted to share my opinion. I do really like the story tho, it's good and ofc that her being a writer means she's good with pacing, character development and all that. I have some other nitpicky things with the story too, like the one post where they were thinking about names for it that kinda sounded like they were talking about a dog they just got rather than a pair of beings double their height that smell like death and rot, mimic the sounds of their victims dying to lure out prey and are actively stalking them

I have only one pet peeve with this, how the fuck is she not reverting to panicky speech/text when being chased. There's being theatrical and then there's this. Feels more like I'm reading a novel than an actual timeline of events.

Tell the government to put torches on the road lol

Super similar to the first weird birds thread which is great because I loved the weird birds thread, both of them

Whenever it’s a story in Connecticut you know it’s gonna be scary

Love your videos

This would make a great book but does not work as a Twitter thread lmao

Wait... Tantalus has an old man's voice... that means... Tantalus killed Johanna's husband!

I got shivers when they said ladybird cause that’s the name of my dog holy shi-

It makes me so happy that these stories aren't real and are just for entertainment purposes.. lmao

I think the extra description of how the lurchers look is needed because of how obsessed she was with drawing them.

wait so was johanna one of the lurchers the whole time or was she one of the first victims?

I mean i really liked the story until it turned into some sort of kinda meh written creepypasta regarding watchers who live underground and a witch helping people sacrificing herself but still not dying… im not saying it was a bad story but i just feel there is so much wasted potential here that could have been turned into a really frightening skinwalker tale that shouldn’t have explained anything at all - also those things being afraid of fire, living or being held under a black lake while also getting described as still needing to breathe and being easily able to be distracted by some shiny coins is just really really corny imo - heck im going as far to say this tale would have been better and more original when the threadwriter would have experienced this stuff over a couple of weeks or days and just decided to move out with her husband instead of turning this into some sort of low budget paranormal adventure which unfortunately many stories that start out great end up doing half way through them… trying too hard just sucks - still, nice video and presentation

Australians: thats just weak baby stuff *SAID WHILST FIGHTING A FLYING SPIDER*

I like the Greek name for them

46:14 why does the old lady sound like master Yoda?😂 I love it👌🤣

NATEDOGG WIT ANOTHER ONEEEEE🔥🔥🔥

Good boi doggo

Master Yoda saved the day 😂

Every time I listen to these stories, I think of something, and it seems to prove my point of what it is until it proves my point in a different way but this time I knew what this thing was like, but there was one problem with the one creature I’m thinking ofsome of you may know him SCP 096. It reminds me so much of him the way their body is shaped in their mouth. The only thing that is off is she has looked at their faces before and they haven’t gone completely mad and there’s two of them.

What if, and here me out, I just pet the Lurchers?

That was a skin walker for sure

I absolutely cannot stand stories where the main character has no agency. "Oops you saw the monster, now you're fucked because you're magically forced to feed yourself to it or become it" theres no growth of the character and literally nothing they do matters or makes me like them when its obvious that they have no impact or control in the story

Candlewood is a real plave and it has culture i dont know where i got it

I know someone who can take these things on his name Ash Williams

I just came here for the drawing

Sounds like rakes or crawlers to me

someone has to animate this

The 911 inconsistency kinda killed it for me, like come on

Looks like the Rake

Johanna is a real one tbh

16:14 ITS THE MIMIC -fanf

i think its the rake

They are called walkers

SOMETHING COOL FROM MY STATE!!!

that is a rake

I played Terraria while listening to this

The tweets are written too much like an overly melodramatic horror novel when its supposed to be an ARG kinda thing like dude just write a novella or a creepypasta 😂

38:50 yeah i agree!!! Get a hotel get a motel get away form there until drew comes bacl if you wotn move which is the SMART thing to do Go stay with famimy something!!

Theyre something called the rakes

1970 and before have silver

Why didnt they buy guns

Gulpers are already taken by fallout far harbor DLC

I saw one

I'm not going to lie but that description sounded like SCP 096's description

after watching weird bird part 1 and 2i have been attached to these twiter storys

Please don't make me hate all mountains

Did Alex Yiik write this?

Mack a thing that spins in a circle that holds a shot gun if it senc it it shots 😅

i would just try and box them i mean they have brittle bones and im yoked i could take em

She yust met a friendly wendigo

She’s awfully quick to demonize the settlers of the region while gladly living on the so called “stolen land” herself.

Ranger the dog 👍

Its a mimic from vita carnis is what i first thought but this one is less intelligent

it probably be less terrifying with shotgun,thermite and a machete

my only reaction after this whole story was...a simple...Shit...
